KidShape Cafe: Over 150 Delicious, Kid-Tested Recipes That Will Help Your Entire Family

KidShape - A Practical Prescription for Helping your Child...

About Us

KidShape Foundation is a non-profit organization that builds healthy families through KidShape, TeenShape, and KinderShape. We provide training, materials, curriculum updates, and technical support to organizations implementing these KidShape programs.

Many parents do not know how to help their children lose weight and be healthy. Obesity can cause health problems that used to be seen primarily in adults, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. And many children suffer from depression, low self esteem, and isolation after being teased because of their weight. KidShape can help!

KidShape teaches the entire family how to eat more nutritiously, make exercise a fun part of the daily routine, form new healthy habits, and to like themselves, regardless of size. A team of health experts consisting of a Registered Dietitian, a mental health professional, a physical activity expert, and a health educator administers the KidShape program.

All KidShape programs are family-based. Each program incorporates hands-on activities to empower youth and adults to eat healthy, move more, and feel good.
  •     KinderShape is a six-week program that targets families with children ages 3 - 5.
