When it comes to child obesity, the biggest thing you can do as a parent is get involved and set a good example by being active yourself. Other tips are setting limits on screen time, establishing a routine for them to be active, promote activity by having sports equipment around the house, encourage them to try out for the soccer team or dance lessons. Let them take the reigns and choose their activity![1]
