I support the Let's Move! initiative and will provide counseling for optimal nutrition and physical activity at all ages. I will measure height and weight for all infants, and will calculate and discuss BMI at well child visits for all children 2 years and older. This is my move to raise a healthier generation of kids and to help solve the problem of childhood obesity within a generation.

As a Let's Move Practice, you commit to conducting a brief assessment of your current practices around the Let's Move! goals, and to conducting small rapid-cycle changes where needed to improve your performance on the Let's Move! goals. To support you in this effort the AAP has created a tool to help you conduct your own chart review and tips to help you reach your Let's Move! goals.
