The subject of a diet is a very sensitive issue for children, because more and more of our children are overweight. Nevertheless, a child should NEVER go on a diet without medical advice and assistance.
Every pediatrician has information on this topic and can easily find out whether your child is over- or underweight or in the normal range.
In any case, YOU are in demand as a parent to teach your child a proper eating and physical activity behavior! You are their idol! Your child trusts you and it learns from YOU!
It is important that you dedicate plenty of time with your child doing sports, living a balanced diet (rich on fruits and vegetables). Don't tranquilize your child with television, video games, candy and snacks.
Tip: If you plan to do something for yourself to reduce your weight, then make the change in a way that it automatically benefits your child as well. For example you could go with your child to gymnastics or have your children accompany you on a bike while you are jogging and then jointly prepare a fresh green salad afterwards.
Together with YOU your children can learn a proper diet and activity behavior and do not need a diet to lose weight! It lies mainly in your hands! Make your children be proud of you!
