Childhood obesity and tips for parents

With back-to-school taking place throughout the country, I wanted to discuss the issues surrounding childhood obesity. It’s a fact our children are adding pounds earlier and faster than ever before. A lot of this is due to lack of activity coupled with poor eating habits. As parents, we have to do what we can to provide better food options, encourage our children to be more physically active and maybe learn to put down the tablets and smart phones and engage with the real world a little more often.
