What can parents do to prevent childhood obesity?

Starting when the child is young, teach your children about healthy nutrition and healthy food choices. You can help them do this by ensuring that there are always healthy foods in the house and by guiding their food choices. Parents can also be a good role model by having a good diet, limited television viewing, and doing physical activity. It would also help children get the adequate amount of sleep each night. Also, have as many meals together as possible. Children who eat meals with their families are more likely to eat healthier meals.
