Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy, and he seems to be getting fatter recently. He has a large appetite and prefers to sit or lie down instead of playing. How can I help him lose weight?
Answer
To help your child lose weight, it’s important to cultivate their love for physical activities and their habit of not being picky with food. It’s recommended to arrange swimming or jogging for them as aerobic exercises, and encourage them to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. At the same time, reduce the intake of high-calorie foods such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Additionally, parents should supervise their children to develop good living habits, avoiding them from sitting or lying down without moving. If your child’s obesity situation is severe, it’s advisable to take them to the hospital for professional treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
