Question
Dear parents, I’ve noticed that my 6-year-old daughter has been gaining weight increasingly. She can eat several bowls of rice at a meal and is particularly lazy. How can we treat pediatric obesity effectively in such cases?
Answer
To address pediatric obesity, you can start by setting a reasonable exercise routine and modifying the child’s diet. Parents can encourage activities that are beneficial for combating obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, encourage the child to consume more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Avoid giving them high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. In daily life, correct the child’s reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits. If the child’s condition is severe during treatment, it is important to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment.
