Childhood obesity. As I work on my research, I'm finding not only in
the state of Delaware but statewide there us a similarity in how they
are working to prevent childhood obesity. Healthcare providers for
children are constantly educating parents on ways to help prevent
this. The two main strategies that I keep coming across and finding
that re being promoted to help this issue is keeping children active
and focusing on proper nutrition. Nutrition can be discussed with the
child's primary doctor and as Delaware and most other states there
are nutritionist that children and parents can meet with to work on
this. The part of keeping children active is being practiced n primary
school systems. They encourage children to be active and join
extracurricular activities to keep them active. These strategies to help
prevent this is always going to be a work in progress but there are
many support systems children and parents can use to help their child
to not have to suffer from childhood obesity.
