What should I do if my child is overweight?

It is said that having a fat baby is very good, but if the child is too fat, the body organs may be under great pressure, and as a result, the child may suffer from some diseases due to obesity. Sometimes parents are helpless when faced with their children’s obesity problem, but they cannot stop their children from eating. So, what should you do if your child is too fat?

1. Measurement at the hospital:

As a parent, don’t panic and don’t know what to do if you think your child is too fat. There are standards for being fat. If you feel your child is too fat, you can take your child to the hospital to measure him or her. Then you will know whether he or she is really fat or how much overweight he or she is.

2. Don’t put pressure on your children:

If the child is not really fat and appears to be relatively healthy after measurement without any problems, then don't put pressure on yourself. As long as the child is within the normal range, then it is normal. Don't put pressure on your child either.

3. Control your diet:

If the child is overweight but no major impact has occurred, then control the child's diet. Do not let the child consume too much meat, eat sweets, or snacks.

4. Exercise:

If a child is overweight, in addition to controlling his diet to lose weight, he should also exercise. Make an exercise plan for the child and urge him to exercise according to the plan.

5. Develop a habit of diligence:

Most fat children are lazy, they don’t like to exercise, they just like to eat, and they don’t want to do any work. Therefore, parents should remind their children more often and arrange for them to do more housework at home. This is not only for exercise, but also for cultivating children’s diligent habits and letting them get up early and not sleep in.

6. Persistence:

If the child is too fat and wants to lose weight, he must persist in returning to a normal state and endure a little hardship. Parents should remind them more often and stop feeling sorry for their children. The children themselves must also realize the harm of obesity and make up their minds.
