Here are some quick but effective ways to help your child stay on track and consume a balanced healthy diet and have good eating habits.
Problems of childhood obesity go beyond physical ones. Obese adolescents have higher rates of depression (see article on brain food here), which increases the risk of poor eating and exercise patterns that add to their weight problem and result in a poor quality of life which can remain well into their adult life. Give your child a fighting chance with some simple steps. Why?

Watch those sleep overs
Sleep overs can be a nightmare if you are endeavouring to help your child lose weight and maintain a healthy eating habit. In all fairness, if they are old enough for a sleepover then they probably have a good understanding of what they can eat and how to not over indulge. Hopefully, by now they are managing their own diet regime, this is of benefit to you and them.
Before the sleep over spend time with your child explaining and reminding them of a healthy diet. If possible, contact the parents of the other child and discuss with them the possible problems and be available for them to ring you if they might have any questions. It is a good idea to give your child some healthy snacks to take with them.
