I am writing this post because I was bothered when I saw a child who was obese due to the lifestyle imprinted on him by the parents. Well they feel they are helping the child, but they are not.
Just like it is written in the Holy books

Train up a child in the way he should grow, so he won't depart from it when he grows.

The upbringing of the kids affects them in a great number of ways. Training up a child to learn to engage in physical activity is very very important.
Does your child engage in physical activities for at least one hour daily?

What is your child's nutrition like?

What have you done to improve the child's lifestyle?

These are some questions that could help us to make sure the child engages in physical activities.
