Question

How should parents treat obesity and picky eating problems in children?

Answer

When a child is overweight, parents should create a set of exercise plans and a healthy diet for them. They can arrange for the child to engage in aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging, eat more vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers, and avoid high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola. In daily life, they should not allow the child to eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these habits can lead to fat accumulation. If the above methods do not alleviate the child’s obesity symptoms, parents should take their child to the hospital promptly to check the cause to prevent the condition from worsening.
