Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has no self-control when it comes to eating. She also dislikes exercise. How should parents treat pediatric obesity and picky eating to achieve better results?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first change the child’s condition through exercise and diet. They can involve the child in aerobic activities such as jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc. In terms of diet, foods like carrots and spinach, which can help improve obesity, can be included, while fried and high-fat foods should be prohibited. Parents should also encourage their children to avoid lying down immediately after eating and seek medical attention promptly if the situation is severe. Treatment should then be conducted according to the doctor’s guidance.
