What can I do to prevent my child from becoming overweight?
assistant
Start by encouraging healthy eating habits. Make sure your child has a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy products. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks as much as possible. 2 Set a good example for your child by maintaining a healthy weight yourself. 3 Exercise with your child regularly and make it fun. Play games like tag or hide-and-seek to get them moving. 4 Monitor your child's activity levels. Make sure they're getting enough physical activity each day. 5 Limit screen time. Encourage your child to spend more time playing outdoors or doing other activities that are not screen-based. 6 Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have about your child's weight.
