Dr. Robs Guide to Raising Fit Kids: A Family-Centered Approach to Achieving Optimal Health: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Dr. Robs Guide to Raising Fit Kids: A Family-Centered Approach to Achieving Optimal Health" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Lets make our goal the raising of a generation of healthy young people who, through thoughtful participation in their world and sensible eating habits, will seek their best level of performance, develop it, and so build self-confidence through success.
Dr. Robs Fitness Guide for Kids with Sensible Parents emphasizes that fitness in children is a family issue, and that parents and children need to work together if the children are to achieve optimal health and live a longer, more rewarding life. Because it is impossible to discuss fitness in children without addressing the increasingly important problem of childhood obesity, issues of maintaining or achieving optimal weight are integral every step along the way.
Its not just about food; its about how kids and their families spend their time. Dr. Rob Gotlin sees sports and exercise as the route to physical, psychological, and social health. He coaches several childrens teams, because he believes that participation in sports teaches kids basic coordination skills, the rules and how to play by them, thoughtfulness, concern for others, useful experiences in winning and losing, and the satisfaction of giving ones best for a joint goal, and offers a terific vehicle for attaining physical fitness and good health. These values are reflected throughout the book.
Special features of this book that make it a must-read for all parents include:

  • Fitness guidelines for kids of every age. Developing an exercise program is considered in the context of a childs age, and what can be expected at each age in terms of physical prowess and emotional response. At age 6, for example, the attention span is less than a minute, so games and sports should be about movement, not about how to, emphasizing the development of fundamental motor skills. For the ten-to-twelve-year old, its time to look for programs and classes that focus on developmental levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) rather than chronological age.
    • Choosing the right sport for your child. The decline in physical education programs in elementary, middle, and high schools means that parents must supervise at least some sports participation for their children. The goal of every parent must be to help each child choose a sport or physical activity in which he or she will find both comfort and confidence.
    • Choosing the right equipment for every sport and at every age. For each sport, detailed information is provided about the equipment needed, what features to look for when purchasing equipment, and variables by the childs age such as the proper length and weight of a baseball bat.
    • Healthy meal plans and sports menus that dont look like a diet. With dietician Toni Colarusso, the author created a regimen that will give kids what they need to start a lifetime of good eating habits. Each days menu allows for substitutions with other foods that may be used depending on the childs preferenceand what parents find in their fridge and on their shelves. Recipes and menu plans will be posted as downloadable files on the books website, www.fitnessforkids.diamedicapub.com.
    • Menu planning linked to sports. A weeks worth of menu planning is linked to each sport. These food plans can be mixed and mingled, while keeping the calorie count steady. Instead of asking kids to eat healthy food, they emphasize power foods, and relate power foods to sports, emphasizing to the child that the better she eats, the better her performance will be. What kid wouldnt be proud to be on the baseball diet? Or admit shes on the soccer diet?
    • Provides information on caloric needs for children of all ages and weights. Readers will...

    Dr. Robs Guide is a winner. This thoughtful volume is as timely as the headlines that warn about pediatric obesity, sedentary lifestyles, dietary deficiencies, substance abuse, and hurtful youth sports programs. These potent forces have combined to create a perfect storm threatening children of all ages. Dr. Gotlins compact, readable, user-friendly book is stocked with advice for parents and coaches determined to stem the tide while assuring family-oriented fun and enrichment. The books real winners will be boys and girls invigorated by sports and wholesome physical activity, led by devoted adults knowledgeable about health and safety at home and in their communities.

    Dr. Rob has hit a Home Run with this book. It is a MUST HAVE for every parent with a child playing sports.
    Mike Saunders, PT, ATC Former Head Athletic
    Trainer, New York Knicks

    Every parent wants to raise a healthy child. Dr. Rob uses his expertise as a physician, coach, and parent to provide the blueprint of how to do so. As the mother of 2 young children, I will frequently refer to the many dog-eared pages of my copy of this wonderful book.
    Rebecca Lobo, Former WNBA Basketball player
    Dedication
    This book is dedicated to the millions of parents who want to raise their children to be fit and healthy. In particular, to my loving wife Marcia, thank you for supporting and standing by me in my relentless quest to better the lives of future generations. To my three loving children, Samantha, Adam, and Matthew, thank you for letting me be your coach, teacher, andmost importantly, your dad. Although my attention is often pulled in many directions, you understand my inner drive to satisfy the needs and demands of so many. You are my inner strength, and knowing that you are right there next to me keeps me going. I commend and thank you very much.
    Acknowledgment
    Being the youngest of three brothers, I learned early on that the family is a sacred entity. By assuring my safety and teaching me right from wrong, the lessons my family bestowed upon me set the stage for years to come. As a young child growing up in urban New York City, people in need always found a place in my heart. My father, my closest ally, always encouraged but never demanded my career choice of medicine. My mother, proud as could be, guided me toward good health and success, no matter what path I chose. The lessons of life my brothers continue to convey are always engraved in my thoughts.
    For the past 17 years, Beth Israel Medical Center has been my second home. Without the support of Drs. Erwin Gonzalez and Norman Scott, the success Ive been fortunate to attain might not have occurred. Valerie, my office manager, coordinates and organizes my complex life and schedule on a daily basis, and she deserves well-earned kudos. To Dr. Diana M. Schneider and DiaMedica Publishing, thank you for your professionalism, dedication, and relentless effort in bringing this work to fruition.
    Assuring a healthy life weighs heavily on consuming a good diet. Without the insightful input and carefully designed healthy meals Toni Colarusso created, this book would not have been possible. Her expertise is clearly highlighted and the terrific meal choices presented will certainly gather the attention of even the fussiest of eaters.

    introduction
    One need not look further than across the kitchen table, to the other side of the classroom, or out onto the athletic field to see the results of one of modern societys biggest epidemics: the lack of physical fitness and its companion, obesity. We are super-sizing at alarming rates, and I dont mean just in the fast food restaurants. I am referring to right there under your shirt and inside your belt buckle. We are growing, not proportionally, but exponentially.
    Certainly, media headlines have made us all aware of the alarming rise in childhood obesity. Statistics show that during the past 5 years, the number of people who are severely obese in the general population has quadrupled, and mild obesity has doubled. Nobody wants to be overweight. We diet, exercise, and follow gurus of every shade and stripe. But obesity rarely makes its first appearance in adulthood. It begins in childhood and is rooted in the physical and emotional life of parents and their children. Overweight kids become overweight adults.
    Overweight kids feel self-conscious about their appearance. Frequently, they have behavior problems and are classic underachievers. Often, they are overlooked by coaches and teachers. We believe that the easiest and most effective time to address the problem is when it first beginsto prevent the childhood problems that being overweight causes and its effects that can last a lifetime.
    In addition to the obvious obesity epidemic, children also suffer the consequences of misguided physical activitysometimes too little, but often too much. Lack of exercise has its consequences, but too much activity also has its downfalls. Parents, coaches, and kids need to be educated about the right mixture of physical activity.

    This book addresses the questions most frequently asked by parents and coaches about childrens general health and weight problems. We offer workable answers, especially as they relate to understanding the interaction between fitness and well-being, obesity and illness, and happy, healthy kids.
    The challenge begins with recognizing the problem and then reclaiming our priority to strive for good health and fitness through regular exercise, good dietary choices, and structured family activities. We live in a hectic, success-driven world that often dampens our vision and sets the stage for future generations of illness and psychological turmoil. When 50 percent of elementary school children are reported to be either overweight or obese, when dads push their kids to play sports they have no interest in, when mom says Little Johnny isnt too heavy; its only baby fat, and hell outgrow it, its time to refocus our attention and address the epidemic head-on.
