Question
My son is 2 years old and weighs more than other children. He is also picky about food and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat his obesity and picky eating problem?
Answer
If a child is obese, it is recommended that parents start by controlling their diet and increasing their physical activity. Encourage the child to participate in moderate sports such as swimming and jogging, and increase the intake of vegetables like winter melon, green beans, etc., while avoiding high-fat foods. If the child is in the habit of lying down after eating, parents should constraint this bad behavior. If the symptoms of childhood obesity are severe, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly to avoid blind treatment.
