Is there a program for kids or teens?

Is there a weight watchers program for kids or teens? Is it safe to have them follow this diet, at least the watching your calories part? It doesn't look like scary or extreme to me. Does anyone know?

Probably...why don't you just ask Weight Watchers? I'm sure they can answer your questions for you.

I'm going to, I was just curious if anyone else here happened to know or had a child who had tried it.

I bet there is but even if there isn't, you can help your child manage their weight by finding out how many calories they need for their age, gender and activity level and making changes based on this information. Your child's doctor can help you with this.

I agree with freddyboy. I think the best course of action to start is to talk with your child's doctor and find out what's best. I wouldn't just trust what weight watchers has to say or recommends.
