Childhood Obesity. Your Child. ?

beeman — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:14:15 +0000

I am in my last year of high school and am currently completely a special studies assignment for my Early Childhood studies class.
The assignment is worth 30% and requires an investigation with a survey.
My special studies is on childhood obesity focusing on children 0 to 6 years of age. It would be very helpful if any parents or guardians of overweight children
could complete this survey or answer as many questions as possible.
It is quite difficult for me to communicate with parents of obese children In person.. Obviously because of the sensitive and personal nature of the topic and if anyone
could give up a few minutes and answer these questions it would be much appreciated.

Also if you yourself were obese as a child or overweight it would be great if you too could answer this survey just by applying the questions to yourself.

note: I will delete the survey after a week and any responses to the questionnaire will be treated confidentially. Thank you.

Survey.
