Teasing just adds to weight problems

If you have an overweight child, you might be tempted to tease them into eating healthier or not eating as much during the day. But, a recent bout of research concluded that you'd be better just relaxing, shutting up and cooking healthy dinners instead.

You may not want to promote dieting as well. Instead of all the negative connotation surrounding the many ways to get kids to eat better and drop weight, your best bet would be to have frequent family meals while promoting physical exercise every chance you get (without overdoing it).


Want more? Promote self-esteem as well with your child so they won't turn to laxatives, weight loss drugs and other potentially destructive behavior to lose weight as a result of constant reminders. As always, positivity wins.
