Parents and pediatricians should fight childhood obesity by improving
diet and activity levels in the home, new guidelines propose.
.
In a new paper, leading physicians' group the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) is updating its guidelines, last issued more than a
decade ago, about how to stem rising rates of childhood obesity. The
updated recommendations encourage parents to help change kids' eating and
levels of activity at home, and emphasize family-based strategies to
promote healthier lifestyles.

Changing behaviors
.
To prevent childhood obesity, the AAP guidelines recommend that parents do
the following:
.
Control the foods that are brought into the home, and be aware of
age-appropriate portion sizes for children. If healthful foods are stocked
at home, then kids can make good choices within a prescribed zone, Daniels
said.
.
Buy fewer sweetened beverages (including sodas, iced teas, juice
drinks and sports drinks) and instead encourage children to drink water,
milk and limited amounts of 100 percent fruit juice.
.
Make healthier foods visible and easily available, and wrap
higher-calorie foods in foil and put them in the back of the refrigerator
or pantry.
.
Serve as important role models for kids by setting a good example with
their own eating and exercising habits, even parents who are struggling
with weight issues themselves, Daniels said.
.
Reduce opportunities for sedentary entertainment. Parents should keep
TVs, computers, video games and electronic devices, out of children's
bedrooms and ban these devices in areas where family meals are consumed to
prevent distracted eating.
.
Limit screen time to no more than two hours a day at most for children
ages 2 and older. "Often, screen time is accompanied by eating, so a child
is getting a double whammy of extra calories and inactivity," Daniels
said. Kids should replace screen time with activity time, he advised.
.
Encourage overweight children to keep track of their eating and
activity levels (physical and sedentary) in a diary, log or other form of
daily self-monitoring. Children and parents can work together to set goals
and review their results, and set nonfood rewards for when small goals are
achieved. Often the reward that most children are looking for is to spend
more time with a parent involved in an activity, which can be a win-win if
this is a physical activity, Daniels suggested.
.
Make sure that children get enough sleep. Recent research has
suggested a link between obesity in children and insufficient sleep.
Studies have shown that when sleep is increased to age-appropriate levels,
children are less likely to become overweight or obese.

US Pediatricians Update Guidelines On Childhood Obesity Prevention:
What Parents Should Know

The steps, as the AAP puts it, are simple and practical:
.
On Sweets. Parents should buy less high-calorie and sugar sweetened snacks
and beverages. Sweets can still be consumed on special celebrations,
however, it is better to buy them only before the celebration, and remove
them right after.
.
Availability of healthy foods and beverages. Fruits and vegetables,
low-calorie snacks and water should be easily accessed by children.
High-calorie foods should be hidden at the back of the fridge or pantry,
while the healthier ones go strategically placed in front, or on the
kitchen table or counter. Five or more servings of fruits and vegetables
in a day are also encouraged.
.
Physical activity. Simple activities like walking the dog or going to the
park to activities just a little bit more strenuous like team sports
contribute to the recommended 80 minutes of physical activity in a day.
The AAP encourages more physical activities to prevent a sedentary
lifestyle that can also lead to obesity.
.
"It is never too early for a family to make changes that will help a child
keep or achieve a healthy weight," reminds Sandra Hassink, MD, FAAP, AAP
president and co-author of the report. She also stresses the role of both
families and pediatricians in encouraging children to prevent obesity by
two most important things: a healthy diet and increased physical activity.
