Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that she has gained a lot of weight and has a very large appetite. She doesn’t like to play outside. How should we treat pediatric obesity effectively?
Answer
To help your child change their obesity symptoms, it’s important to arrange for a balanced diet and exercise. Within your child’s tolerance level, plan activities such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Help your child correct the habit of eating excessively without moving or binging. During treatment, parents should provide reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition, and in severe cases, seek medical attention for targeted treatment.
