Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 3 years old. This year, I’ve noticed that she seems quite overweight, can eat a lot of rice, and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat this condition?
Answer
If you find that your child is suffering from childhood obesity, the first step is to arrange their exercise and healthy diet appropriately. You can have your child engage in aerobic activities such as swimming or jogging. For the diet, it’s recommended to consume healthy foods like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, and avoid high-calorie foods like cookies, macadamias, and small cakes. Additionally, if your child tends to lie down after eating, parents should help correct this bad habit. During the treatment of obesity, parents should conduct reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition. In case of severe situations, it is essential to seek medical attention and receive targeted treatment promptly.
