Ignoring Childhood Obesity
is a Parental Error in Judgment
Many parents of obese children don't see them that way. They either ignore the issue or take it on a personal level. The reason for this is that many obese children have parents that are obese themselves. This would lead you to believe that there is a serious family nutritional imbalance not to mention a serious denial problem. This is bothersome because obese children run the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol issues and other problems which are generally adult health concerns.Often parents will conclude that their children will grow out of it or it is just baby fat. This is not
the case because childhood obesity is growing to be a national health risk inching ever so close to cancer. It is our parental duty to be concerned with our children's health and hoping that the weight issue will go away is not the answer. It is disheartening to see obese children and families when a solution is as simple as changing our own lifestyles with better nutrition and exercise. This is sometimes easier said than done. Obese children run a high risk of becoming obese adults. Having obese parents would suggest that there is a family obesity problem that is at least a generation old.Now is as good a time as ever to break tradition
As parents we always have to make sacrifices and this is one sacrifice that will benefit all. Not only can we help our children but at the same time help ourselves. Turning a cheek on childhood obesity is not going to solve any problems. Admitting that there is a problem and taking action will improve not only your families health but also your families lifestyle. You can do this with better nutrition, exercise, and commitment.Author: James Rouse
