If a child suffers from obesity, parents should address the situation through exercise and dietary changes. For pediatric obesity, it is recommended to engage in more aerobic activities such as climbing hills or swimming. Additionally, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, etc. It is crucial to prohibit children from consuming high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts.
