Healthy Kids’ Catalog® Launches ‘Specialist Partner Program’ to Support Industry Professionals’ Efforts to Treat - and Prevent - Childhood Obesity

One-of-a-kind online catalog takes a collaborative approach to help kids in need lose weight and get healthy.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2006

Healthy Kids’ Catalog® – a one-of-a-kind online catalog company exclusively offering “Solutions That Foster Healthy Children™”, today announced the launch of its Specialist Partner Program offering support and information resources to health, fitness, nutrition and education industry professionals who treat, or otherwise address, adolescent weight issues at the front line.

Through its new Specialist Partner Program, Healthy Kids’ Catalog seeks to supplement and enhance a professional’s current efforts to address adolescent weight concerns with as-needed supplies of childhood obesity-related tools and resources for children in need, and those who care for them. The program offers fun "Weight-Wise Activity" handouts (health-themed crossword puzzles, word searches, word scrambles and other games), Caregiver Information Sheets, "How to Talk to Your Weight-Challenged Child" pamphlets, and other such information resources. As an added benefit, industry professionals who are members of this Specialist Partner Program – and their clients - receive a full 15% discount on all items offered in Healthy Kids' Catalog's online storefront at www. HealthyKidsCatalog. com.

Merilee Kern, founder and CEO of Healthy Kids’ Catalog, notes, “In addition to the health education support our Specialist Partner Program materials provide, they also shed light on the myriad of lifestyle ‘choice-based’ solutions available at HealthyKidsCatalog. com, which are directly intended help kids achieve and maintain a healthy body weight over the long-term.”

Healthy Kids’ Catalog provides parents, teachers, physicians and other youth care givers with convenient, one-stop access to a wide assortment of resources to help kids eat nutritiously, get active and otherwise lead a healthy lifestyle. The kid-friendly healthy living products offered by Healthy Kids’ Catalog’s run the gamut; categories include Books/Literature for Children, Books/Literature for Care givers, Instructional/Educational Materials, Videos, Exercise Tools/Equipment, Sports Gear, Health-Promoting Toys/Games, Nutrition, Fitness, Kitchen Appliances and Healthy Living. The company also publishes WEIGHT-WISE KIDS®, a free monthly electronic newsletter that “serves up” youth-specific healthy living advice, information, news, and resources.
