6 Ways to get your child’s weight under control. - Mathew Davidson
Understanding your child’s weight
Childhood obesity has become an increasing problem in our society. Children who are overweight are more likely to become obese as an adult. They are also more likely to suffer from illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Therefore, it is very important that parents attempt to combat childhood weight problems. Thus, if your child is overweight, you may be wondering how to effectively counteract the problem.
There are many ways to determine a child's ideal body weight. Some parents would consider it to be the weight that is proportional to their child's height. A more accurate way to determine your child’s ideal body weight; is to factor in their age, sex and height to acquire their body mass index.
Body mass index (BMI) is an equation used to find whether your child is under weight, at a healthy weight, overweight or obese. It is calculated by using a child's height, weight, age and sex. BMI doesn’t directly measure body fat. However, it is a reasonable indicator of body fat percentiles for most children and teens. A child's weight status is gathered by using an age and sex specific ratio for BMI, rather than the BMI categories used for adults. A child's body composition varies as they age as well as their sex.
Tip: Keep in mind that many factors go into determining if a child is at a healthy weight, this is just one ways.
1).Proper weight loss goals
The first goal in getting your child to a healthier weight should not be weight loss at all. Instead, the first recommendation would be that your child to just stop gaining weight. As they get taller, this will allow them to grow into their ideal weight.
An even more realistic goal might be not gaining weight so rapidly. For example, a 12 year old boy should usually gain about 10 pounds a year during the early teen years. If he gains much more, (15 to 20 pounds) then he will likely become overweight.
If he is limited to the usual healthy weight gain for a teenager, he may become less overweight or at least not become further overweight. Although that doesn't sound like much, it is an important accomplishment and first goal.
If your child is highly overweight or obese, the next goal should be to stop gaining weight or gain less weight each year. Perhaps only 3 to 5 pounds a year. If necessary, your
