What kind of help is desired: Is this normal?
Doctor's answer:
The growth and development of children are related to dietary habits. Due to irregular eating habits and the long-term consumption of high-energy foods, energy intake exceeds demand, leading to slowed growth, an increased risk of obesity, and early puberty. These issues are detrimental to children and adolescents and are also risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Your son's growth and development are slightly advanced compared to average children, and he is also overweight. In the future, it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet, reduce the intake of high-energy foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and increase physical activity.
