Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has been gaining weight, eating more, and becoming increasingly lazy lately. How should I handle the situation of overweight and obesity in children?
Answer
To address the issue of child obesity, it’s important to establish a balanced exercise routine and dietary habits. Encourage your child to participate in aerobic activities such as swimming or jogging, and consume more calorie-burning foods like vegetables (such as tomatoes and cucumbers), while reducing the intake of high-calorie foods such as biscuits, dried fruits, and small cakes. Additionally, avoid overeating and encourage physical activity. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention promptly and treat the child’s obesity under a doctor’s guidance.
