As childhood obesity rates soar across the nation and especially in Georgia, some Gainesville Middle School parents are eager to learn more about how to change the trend. “Being that it’s a social problem all over the world ... (we’re going) to talk about the subject and how to educate parents and help parents help their child,” school Parent Coordinator Hilda Reyes said. Hall County Family Connection Collaborative Coordinator Elizabeth Fielden conducted informative sessions about childhood obesity for the parents Tuesday, presenting statistics and facts alongside suggestions on how to combat the problem.
