The eight weekly 30-minute Fitline calls provide personalized behavioral counseling and coaching to guide parents in improving their child's weight-related behaviors through targeted lifestyle changes recommended by the AAP for Stage 1, Prevention Plus. Calls are scheduled at a time convenient for the parent, including nights and weekends, with one nutritionist assigned to a family for consistency.
