[ _healthstyles deb mcdonald If your child is overweight, keep these tips in mind: * Calorie-restricted diets are not recommended; healthy eating is. Set out to establish a healthier eating pattern as outlined by Canada's Food Guide to a healthier activity pattern for the whole family, not just the child with the weight problem. Be a good role model! * Make a variety of nutritious foods | available and allow your child to make decisions about how much he wants to eat. Avoid an intense preoccupation with eating by restricting food and' denying favourite desserts, treats and snacks. * Encourage your child by participating yourself in activities he or she enjoys. Try walking, skating \in/ winter, swimming at a local pool or cycling! Do not sign him or her up for a physical fitness program or sport that he or she hates or can't do. This will make the child shy away from all, exercise on the most part. , * Be sensitive to your child's feelings about his or her weight, and the social and emotional burdens he or she might be bearing. Overweight children often suffer terribly at the hands of other people, including parents, and their self-esteem is «often poor. * Work with your child to help build feelings of self-esteem and self- worth through activities and lish that dre 1 to size, shape, and physical performance' You don't want to send out the message that your love and acceptance depends on weight loss. * Finally, be prepared to accept the fact that, for a variety of reasens, not all children. will achieve a healthy weight. These children, more than ever, will need to maintain a pattern of healthy "eating and regular physical activity.
