Dr. Smith and Ms. White move onto a different patient. |

| Patient 1's evaluation clearly shows that they are obese, but the parent is not willing to cooperate. | |

| The best we can do is try to hand out another pamphlet. It's a shame that more children cannot be helped because of their parent's denial. | |
|
| There's an article being published in the newspaper about the rise in childhood obesity this week. We can only hope that will change their minds. | |

|
| I assisted the writer of that article in making sure his statistics were correct. I was interviewed the other day. | |

| Hopefully parents will read the article and begin or continue to live healthy with their children. | |
