Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. In recent weeks, I’ve noticed that he has been gaining weight and eats more than most children his age. He doesn’t like to exercise either. How should one treat a child who doesn’t like vegetables in the case of obesity?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents need to adjust their child’s lifestyle through exercise and diet. It’s recommended to have the child engage in activities like swimming and jogging, and encourage them to eat more vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods like hamburgers, fries, and cookies. At the same time, it’s important to change the child’s habit of not liking to exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If the situation is severe, parents should seek medical attention promptly and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
