KIDS HEALTH
The National Association of Kidney Diseases (NAKD) has determined childhood obesity to be a major health concern for the country. In 2008, the NAKD released its Guideline on Childhood Obesity in America. This document is written by professionals who have studied the topic extensively and published a report titled “Adults’ Responsibility for Creating Healthy Habits.” They outline that there are many factors that can influence what happens when we make unhealthy choices. The keystone of this study is family and community support, which make up more than half of American families. What they found was that most children with a parent of a medical condition would choose not to be overweight. However, when you look at what most children with the greatest risk of being obese have in common, it seems like eating and drinking.
Your child's health includes physical, mental, and social well-being. Most parents know the basics of keeping children healthy, like offering them healthy foods, making sure they get enough sleep and exercise and ensuring their safety.
