Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and I’ve noticed that she’s getting heavier, with a large appetite and a lack of exercise. How should I treat childhood obesity and laziness?
Answer
If your child is suffering from obesity, it’s recommended to first increase the amount of exercise and control their diet. Encourage activities like jogging, hill climbing, or swimming, and incorporate high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts, and don’t let your child sit still immediately after eating. If the situation is severe, it’s advisable for parents to take their child to the hospital to check the cause before treatment.
