Are you a healthcare professional looking to better support children and families dealing with weight-related health concerns? Brenner FIT® invites you to take the lead in your clinic with our comprehensive, self-guided online course:
Pediatric Obesity Management: Become the Expert in Your Clinic.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

This five-part learning series is designed by Brenner FIT’s multidisciplinary team to empower providers with practical, evidence-based tools. The course focuses on:

  • Creating positive health habits in a safe, family-centered way
  • Using Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility framework for feeding and activity
  • Communicating about weight with sensitivity and confidence
  • Guiding parents to reduce mealtime pressure and build structure
  • Fostering stronger family communication and trust

Whether you're a pediatrician, nurse, dietitian, or behavioral health provider, this training will help you approach pediatric obesity with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

📚 Why This Course Stands Out

1747231849-pd062717-349-lgUnlike traditional weight-focused interventions, this course emphasizes behavioral change and family dynamics over numbers on a scale. You’ll gain tools to:

  • Shift the conversation from weight to wellness
  • Support families in building sustainable routines
  • Address feeding challenges without blame or shame

💻 Flexible, Self-Paced Learning

The course is entirely online and self-guided, allowing you to learn at your own pace and revisit materials as needed. It’s perfect for busy professionals who want to deepen their expertise without disrupting their schedules.
