Question
My son is just three years old, and in recent weeks, I’ve noticed that he has a large appetite and is getting fatter, and he is also quite lazy. How should I help him lose weight?
Answer
If you notice your child showing signs of obesity, parents should encourage them to be more active and develop healthy eating habits to help alleviate symptoms. It’s recommended to arrange appropriate amounts of exercise within your child’s capacity, such as swimming or jogging, while preparing high-fiber vegetables for them like winter melon and tomatoes. At the same time, avoid feeding them high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Additionally, prevent your child from overeating. If the above methods do not alleviate your child’s obesity symptoms, please take them to the hospital for a check-up promptly to avoid the condition worsening.
