Obesity is a real problem for millions of kids and their parents. Most parents are aware of the dangers posed by childhood obesity, but may not know what to do about it.
"If you have concerns about your child's weight, talk with their doctor. Physicians typically don't want to put a young child on a calorie-restrictive diet, especially when a few modifications in the child's habits may make the difference."
Physicians may recommend cutting soft drinks and other high-sugar beverages. Also, be sure your child eats breakfast; skipping breakfast doubles the risk of obesity. Source: Naperville Sun
