Parents do not realize that their children are obese and injurious use food as a reward for good behavior - this testifies to a new study.
Mothers and fathers of only 9% of overweight children reported it, although according to data from healthcare organizations nearly a third of kids between 2 and 15 years are obese.
Tense parents may complicate the crisis in childhood obesity weight using foods that activate it. This course of study among 2,000 parents commissioned by a large insurance company.
Almost half admit they give their children sweets, chocolate and junk food, such as parents who work do so most often. This means that nearly two in five children eat chocolate or crisps every day.
Thereabout mothers and fathers say rewarding kids with a visit to a Fast-Food Chain, and still others take food home.
Over half of families also allow children more time in front of screens as a reward for good behavior, thereby placing them at greater risk of zatlastvyavane as the offer to sit rather than perform any physical activity.
There Fry of the National Obesity Forum in the UK says: "When there are so many children with overweight parents became difficult to judge what is a healthy size for the child and what - no.

I agree children are getting too overweight beacause the parents giving them what they want when they want it. Parents have stopped looking at the bigger picture which is your child's health in the future, a long term benefit to watch your child be healthy and happy instead of the underlying factor of diabetes. Parents need to be parents not their childrens butler.

more children are becoming overweight, the heaviest children are getting even heavier. Overweight or obese preschoolers are 5 times more likely than normal-weight children to be overweight or obese as adults. As a result, childhood overweight is regarded as the most common prevalent nutritional disorder of US children and adolescents, and one of the most common problems seen by pediatricians.

Childhood obesity has become a thing of pride for most mothers without thinking of the injurious effect and long term effect that it could have on the child.
