This helps the child learn how to interpret cues for hunger and fullness, and how to regulate how much he or she eats. Avoid food reminders. Children may eat more when food is in sight. Feel comfortable about food yourself. If parents are anxious about eating, this can affect the child's eating.
Exercise can help.
Encourage your child to exercise. The best way is to let exercise come naturally. Don't be too protective, but don't pressure to exercise. Help your children grow up as emotionally healthy as possible, with good family relationships. Help the child look nice.
