title: [PRIMARY CARE INTERVENTIONS FOR PEDIATRIC OVERWEIGHT OR OBESITY].
abstract: Obesity is a slow progressive chronic disease, for the complications as well as efficacy of the care. A long-term success requires a comprehensive educational diagno- sis that explores the various dimensions of the child and his family, thus allowing to define the care project. Both the motivational Interviewing that is based on the technics of therapeutic patient education and the parents' implication are the key factors for the success of the care. They allow, from the assessment of competencies of parents and child to propose, according to child's situation, the best targeted management. The follow up will be step by step, in long-term concerted interdisciplinarity, with in each visit the possibility of choosing a new objective or reinforcing some objectives suitable for the child, in combination with strategies that frequently involve the parents. Negotiation between caregiver(s), the child and his family are suitable. The greatest flexibility on both sides will allow to go forward together to reach the chosen aim.
