A new NHS scheme being trialled in London sees life coaching being offered to overweight children, reports the Evening Standard.
A group of 11 year-olds in north-east London will be given face-to-face and telephone sessions in order to help them make better lifestyle choices and lose weight. The children must be overweight for their height and age to qualify for the sessions, and their parents will also take part to help to their children and ensure they are making the right choices for them.
Methods the children will be using include the Wheel of Life, where the children rate different areas of their lives, and the life coach will then help them to develop goals from their answers.
