What is a Healthy Weight Tracker?

This tool helps parents and caregivers track a child's weight status in a safe and healthy way. Instead of focusing on weight targets, it determines the child's BMI-for-age percentile and provides responsible guidance for their category.

Why It Matters

  • Supporting children with safe, healthy strategies based on their growth patterns.
  • Providing guidance for balanced meal planning and physical activity.
  • Promoting a positive body image by focusing on health rather than numbers on a scale.
