If your child feels he is helping to feed or educate another, it may well berepparttar 147858 incentive needed. If you feel you cannot make such a commitment, why not just have a poverty jar, every time your child eats a piece of fruit instead of a candy bar, put a few cents intorepparttar 147859 jar and then let him/her chose which charity to give it to. But don't make him feel guilty about others, anorexia isn't healthy either!

The next thing to consider is increasingrepparttar 147860 amount of exercise your child takes and cuttingrepparttar 147861 number of hours that television is watched. Overweight children find exercise difficult so start by increasing it slowly. Just walking a few hundred yards daily is a start. Your child may try to avoid exercise, but remember he may have been teased at school about being fat and failing to be athletic. As weight is lost, exercise will become easier and confidence increase, then he will become more willing to try new sports.

Finally remember that children needrepparttar 147862 support ofrepparttar 147863 whole family if they is going to lose weight. If everyone follows a sensible diet your child is much more likely to succeed.

Advice on health matters should always be confirmed by a doctor and no liability is accepted for action taken.
