How to Treat Pediatric Obesity and Laziness

Patient's question:
A boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. Over the past year, it has been observed that he has become increasingly chubby and has a very large appetite. He doesn't like to play outdoors often. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and laziness be treated?
Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their activity levels and control their diet to improve the condition. Arrange activities like swimming or jogging within the child's tolerance. Encourage them to eat more vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, and avoid high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. Help the child break the habit of not moving after eating or overeating. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital to check the cause of the obesity for targeted treatment.
