Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 2 years old. In recent weeks, my child has been gaining weight rapidly and eating without restriction, and she also doesn’t enjoy physical activity. How can I treat my child’s obesity and aversion to vegetables to achieve the best results?
Answer
When a child becomes overweight, parents should establish a moderate exercise plan and a healthy diet for them, arranging activities such as swimming or jogging, encouraging them to consume fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoiding high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. It’s also important not to let the child go to bed immediately after eating or snack on the couch. If the child’s obesity symptoms are severe, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly and not to blindly trust certain medications.
