Question
My daughter is 7 years old, and I’ve recently noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and has a tendency to eat without control. She usually doesn’t like to play. How should I treat a child’s obesity and lazy behavior?
Answer
If a child is obese, parents should control their child’s diet and increase their physical activity. Supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, and encourage them to eat high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Prohibit the intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Help the child correct bad habits such as not moving after eating or being picky, and remind parents to take the child to the hospital for treatment if the situation is serious.
