Maintaining a healthy weight during childhood and adolescence is critically important for children’s and adolescents’ overall health and wellbeing, as well as for good health in adulthood. A child’s or adolescent’s weight status is the result of multiple factors working together—heredity, metabolism, height, behavior, and environment.1 Two of the most important behavioral determinants are nutrition and physical activity. How much and what a child or adolescent eats and the types and intensity of physical activity she participates in can affect weight and therefore overall health. A balanced, nutritious diet and regular physical activity are keys to preventing overweight and obesity.

Increased physical activity is associated with an improvement in many health conditions, including heart disease, hypertension, insulin sensitivity, osteoporosis and obesity. Self-monitoring and tracking physical activity is an effective strategy to initiate and maintain physical activity. A variety of physical activity monitors, such as pedometers, accelerometer-based activity monitors, wrist devices and smartphone apps are available for use by individuals interested in fitness, health and weight control. This article provides basic mechanisms and functions of pedometers and accelerometers. Additionally, a list of popular wearable devices and different types of exercise and fitness smartphone apps for tracking and promoting physical activity are included.

Family members have different perspectives on how sexuality should be discussed with children and adolescents, such as who should be involved in those discussions and how much young people need to know and at what age. With respect for different individual and cultural values, health care professionals can address this important component of healthy development by incorporating sexuality education that includes gender identity development into health supervision from early childhood through adolescence.1 In the supportive environment of the medical home, health care professionals can provide personalized information, confidential screening of risk status, health promotion, and counseling for the child and adolescent. Developmentally appropriate, accurate resources that are related to sex education and healthy sexuality provide parents with factual information and encouragement as they educate and guide their growing child.
