Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 9 years old, and we’ve recently noticed that she has started to gain weight. She has increased her appetite but doesn’t enjoy physical activities. We would like to inquire about the treatment methods for childhood obesity.
Answer
For the issue of childhood obesity, it is essential to first establish a physical activity plan for the child and change their dietary habits. Encourage your child to participate in age-appropriate sports such as swimming and jogging, and provide them with healthy foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, while avoiding high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Parents should help their children change their unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits. In the process of treating childhood obesity, if the situation is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
