Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and recently, I’ve noticed that she’s been getting fatter, and she also eats more than most children. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn’t want to. How should we treat child obesity effectively?
Answer
If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should focus on the child’s exercise and diet. They can arrange for the child to participate in activities like swimming or jogging, and encourage the consumption of vegetables like carrots and spinach that help improve obesity. At the same time, parents should prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts. Additionally, they need to help correct the child’s habits of not exercising or overeating. If the child’s condition is severe, parents should take their child to the hospital promptly for treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
