Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 3 years old. Lately, I’ve noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and doesn’t seem to have any self-control when eating. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn’t want to. How should I treat a child who is overweight and dislikes eating vegetables?
Answer
If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should start by focusing on their child’s exercise and diet. First, you can encourage your child to learn swimming, as water-based exercises can help burn fat more quickly. In terms of diet, the child should eat more vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, avoid high-calorie snacks, and prevent overeating. At the same time, parents should monitor their child’s condition, and if the situation is severe, they should take their child to the hospital for a consultation immediately.
