| Abstract: | This article examines the impact of childhood obesity upon the academic, career, and personal/social development of students. The four components of the American School Counselor Association's (ASCA) delivery model, (classroom guidance, consultation, responsive services, and system support), are utilized to offer suggestions to the professional school counselor (PSC) for designing programs aimed at addressing the growing problem of childhood obesity. It is the goal of this article to enlighten PSCs and encourage immediate action. |
