Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 5 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that my child has a lot of fat on her body and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. She doesn’t like to exercise either. How should parents treat their child’s obesity effectively when they don’t like exercise?
Answer
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first change their child’s condition through exercise and diet. Parents can encourage their children to engage in sports beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Vegetables like carrots and spinach can also help. It is crucial to prohibit high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Strictly control the child’s diet to prevent overeating and encourage more physical activity, as these are all beneficial for changing a child’s obesity. During treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is essential to seek timely medical treatment and not blindly trust certain medications.
