Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 2 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that my child is significantly heavier than other children her age, and she has an enormous appetite. She is also particularly lazy. How can we effectively treat our child’s obesity and overweight?
Answer
For pediatric obesity issues, you can start by establishing an exercise routine and modifying the dietary plan for your child. Parents should supervise their children in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., while encouraging them to consume healthy foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoiding high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes. Additionally, it is necessary to help children correct bad habits such as being inactive after meals or being picky eaters. If the child’s condition is severe, it is imperative to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment.
