Question
My daughter is 3 years old and shows signs of obesity and picky eating. How should I suggest dealing with this situation?
Answer
When children exhibit obesity, parents can help alleviate symptoms through exercise and healthy eating. Supervise your child in engaging in aerobic activities such as jogging, swimming, and encourage the consumption of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid giving high-calorie foods like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes to your child, and don’t let them lie down immediately after eating. If the above methods do not alleviate your child’s obesity symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to avoid the worsening of the condition.
