Is this your child?: Most physicians do not advise calorie restriction for five year olds. More important is to instill healthy habits. The biggest reason for weight problems is lack of physical activity. Help your child do regular, fun, vigorous physical activities at least one hour every day! limit screen time. Teach healthy choices: fresh veggies/friuts snacks, appropriate portions, water vs juice/sports drinks.
