Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and I’ve recently noticed that she seems to be getting fatter. She has an increased appetite but doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat this?
Answer
When a child shows signs of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming, while also paying attention to their diet, increasing the intake of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts, and prevent children from immediately going to sleep or lying on the sofa to snack after eating. If the situation is severe, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a check-up and treatment based on the cause.
