Question
Dear team, my daughter is currently 3 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that she weighs significantly more than other children her age, and she seems to have a lack of self-control when it comes to eating. She’s not interested in exercise either. How should we treat child obesity effectively?
Answer
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first provide them with a reasonable exercise schedule and a healthy diet. Parents should supervise their children in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc. During this period, encourage your child to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Make sure to avoid high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. In daily life, parents should correct the child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits. During the treatment period, parents should keep a close eye on the child’s condition. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor without resorting to blind treatment.
