Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 3 years old and recently, I’ve noticed that she’s gaining more weight and her appetite is quite large. She’s also unwilling to exercise. How should I treat her pediatric obesity when she doesn’t like vegetables?
Answer
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first provide them with a reasonable exercise schedule and a healthy diet. Parents should supervise their children in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and encourage them to eat more vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach. Children should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. In daily life, parents need to correct the child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take your child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
