Diet for Overweight Kids |
Putting a child on a diet is a tricky thing to do. It is not just cruel, but could also affect the psychology of the child to watch the rest of the family enjoying the food that the child is asked to avoid. Instead, opt for making healthy meals for the whole family. The best approach to helping a child is to lead by example. Making healthy choices for the whole family, rather than setting out a different meal and exercise routine for the child is the best approach. Choose some outdoor sports or activities that the whole family can enjoy. Avoid snacking or having meals in front of the television. This way the child will not feel singled out and in the bargain, the whole family will be on the path to good health. |
