Question:
My child went for her yearly physical yesterday and the doctor said she was
overweight. What do I do? If you are the parent of an
overweight or obese child, this article will
offer you some insights, tips, and suggestions to help your child get in shape,
eat healthy, and get active. Did
you know obesity is defined by many practitioners as 20% above normal weight? If your child should weigh around 100
pounds to be in the healthy range and he or she weighs 120 pounds, this is
considered to be obese. |
