Give them Freedom
Allow children to make healthier choices as an alternative and do not teach them about the complicated rules of calorie counting and nutrition as that may only make them feel guilty.
Be a Role Model
Obesity often runs in families because children do what their parents do. For this reason, if you want to help your obese child lose weight, be a role model! Eat healthier foods, but also, start riding your bike more often – become more active and fit. Try to get your children to be active for at least 60 minutes per day and promote activities like football, baseball, or any other group activity. Also, try to prepare more meals at home, particularly breakfast and dinner, when your children are at home.
Limit Sedentary Activities
Sedentary activity [38] not only promotes snacking, eating, and obesity, but also decreases the physical movement and activity of the children. So limit activities such as watching tv, playing video games and other sedentary activities.
There are plenty of other options that can be applied to your child’s lifestyle and behavioral patterns, but these listed above have been tried and true, and can definitely solve the problem of childhood obesity for members of your family. Stay Tuned !!!!
