If you’ve ever worried about your child’s nutrition, activity level, or weight, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

At Carevide Pediatrics in Greenville, our Healthy Weight Program is designed to support children and teens in building lifelong healthy habits in a way that’s realistic and compassionate. It’s not about numbers on a scale, it’s about helping kids feel confident, healthy, and supported at every stage of growth.

Our pediatric team works closely with families to create plans that support not only physical health, but emotional well-being too. The approach includes collaboration with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to help address:

  • Emotional eating
  • Body image and self-esteem
  • Stress, anxiety, or other emotional factors that can impact health
  • Disordered eating patterns

What to Expect From the Program

Structured Visit Schedule
We begin with biweekly visits, then transition to monthly follow-ups as progress continues. This allows for consistent support while gradually encouraging independence and confidence.

Goal Setting & Progress Tracking
Each visit includes short-term, achievable goals, while long-term goals are established during the first visit. We focus on celebrating progress, big and small, along the way.

Comprehensive Medical Assessment
Our team performs appropriate screens for related medical conditions (co-morbidities) to ensure your child’s overall health and safety.

Evidence-Based Care
Our program follows the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Clinical Practice Guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with obesity, so families can feel confident they’re receiving trusted, up-to-date care.

Advanced Treatment Options
For patients 12 years and older who meet eligibility criteria, we offer evidence-based medication options as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.

Who Can Participate?

The Pediatric Healthy Weight Program serves children and adolescents ages 6 to 18. We’re also happy to see younger children when obesity is a concern.
