Question
My son is 7 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. Additionally, he seems particularly undisciplined with his eating habits. He doesn’t like to go out to play, and he eats a lot. How should we treat his obesity and lazy behavior effectively?
Answer
To address your child’s obesity and laziness, it’s essential to start by encouraging him to love exercise and not be picky with food. Have him engage in physical activities suitable for his age, such as swimming and jogging, and eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis. Avoid giving him high-calorie foods like sunflower seed and hamburgers. In daily life, don’t let him snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating—these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment period, parents should always pay attention to their child’s condition. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance without any blind treatments.
