Overweight? Too thin? Or normal, but not fitting for his age?
As a parent, monitoring our child’s weight is an important part of ensuring their overall health and well-being. If their weight does not match their age, it is feared that they may have an unknown disease. So, here we have some steps you can take to monitor your child’s weight:
KEEP TRACK OF THEIR GROWTH
Track your child’s height, weight, and BMI (body mass index) over time to monitor their growth. You can use growth charts provided by healthcare providers to track your child’s progress and identify any potential concerns.
SCHEDULE REGULAR CHECKUPS
Schedule regular check-ups with your child’s healthcare provider. They can help monitor your child’s weight and provide advice on healthy weight management.
ENCOURAGE HEALTHY HABITS
Encourage your child to adopt healthy habits, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet. Avoid overly restrictive diets or overemphasizing weight loss, as this can lead to unhealthy behaviors.
LIMIT SCREEN TIME
Limit your child’s screen time and encourage them to be physically active. This can help prevent excessive weight gain and promote overall health.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP IF NECESSARY
If you have concerns about your child’s weight or eating habits, seek professional help from a healthcare provider or registered dietitian. They can provide personalized advice and support.
Please take care of your child weight for the sake of their future health.
