Be Supportive to overweight children

By: Meg Dilts
  

  • Tell your child that he or she is loved, special, and important. Children’s feelings about themselves are often based on how they think their parents feel about them.

  • Accept your child at any weight. Children are more likely to accept and feel good about themselves when their parents accept them.

  • Listen to your child’s concerns about his or her weight. Overweight children probably know better than anyone else that they have a weight problem. They need support, understanding, and encouragement from parents.
