Advice for parents on healthy weight children
Supporting your child's mental health
If you need to discuss your child's health with them, it's important to focus on their overall health. For instance, talk about how exercise, sleep and nutrition can lead to better overhall health. Education on how to live a healthier lifestyle can help them make smarter choices in the long-run. It also helps if you're a good role mode and lead by example.
