A FEW SOLUTIONS: • Parents have to stop being enablers: design a healthy meal plan for the week (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and stick with it. • Cut off certain foods after specific time of the day when children are less active. • Limit the amount of junk and unhealthy snacks that they get for the day. • Ensure they are drinking a lot of water and eating lots of fruits • Be proactive: your child doesn’t know what different foods do to their bodies… so while your having alone time with you child at the grocery store, at the park or while your walking them to and from school inform them about unhealthy and healthy eating habits and the consequences it can have on their bodies.
