Question
My daughter is 3 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that she has been gaining weight, and she seems to eat without restraint. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn’t want to. How should I treat my child’s obesity when they don’t like vegetables?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents can increase their child’s physical activity and control their diet to change the symptoms. Encourage your child to engage in age-appropriate exercises such as swimming or jogging during this time. Let them eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green beans. Prohibit your child from consuming fried foods and dried fruits, which are high in calories and fat. Also, do not let your child fall asleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. If the child’s condition is severe during treatment for obesity, it is necessary to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
