Abstract
“Unhealthy weight,” “too much weight for his/her health,” and its Spanish equivalent, “demasiado peso para su salud,” were the most desirable and motivating, and the least offensive terms. Latino parents' positive perceptions of these terms occurred across parent and child characteristics, supporting their use in weight counseling.
