Question
Dear Parent, my son is 3 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that my child is much heavier than other children his age. He also eats more than the average child and doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat my child’s obesity?
Answer
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes can be very effective for obesity symptoms. Foods like carrots and spinach can also help in changing obesity. Avoid giving your child high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes, and don’t let the child lie down immediately after eating without moving around. During the treatment period, parents should always be attentive to their child’s condition. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance, and avoid treating blindly.
