I’m so glad this blog is here. I very much relate to this issue as when I was 12 years old I was obese. I suffered the disgrace that came with the disdain and ridicule of my “friends” and other classmates and the pathetic looks from adults who had not a clue as to how one might help me through this. It was mostly met with denial that there was a problem except at school. It was all so depressing and painful. I’m no where near to obesity these days. I figured out that it was a sedentary life style that was a the root of my problem; my father was sedentary; my mother was sedentary. What chance of doing much else did I have until I figured out that I didn’t need to be like my parents. I got busy and got active doing things that I enjoy instead of waiting for life to do it to me. How pathetic those early years were. All it would have taken was a parent or an adult to take interest in doing something other than watching TV, anything with movement, I would have been ecstatic to participate. As it is I changed I grew. I now see it was really my parents who missed out. But how sad for them and for me to not have made all the memories that relationships are remembered for. I wish better for the coming generation.

I don’t have children, but I coached some kids between 12-14 and I could see more than half of the team was overweight. So I think this needs to start at the home. If you instill a good diet and exercise this can be avoided.

Kids really have to include exercising in their routines. With all the types of food and also activities that are being done nowadays, they should learn to stay healthy and have fun at the same time.

I think child obesity is a growing problem everywhere and I think your suggestions for child exercises are great. When I was a kid, we were very active and would always play all sorts of games outside that’s why obesity was not a problem. Kids nowadays are not as active, they mostly want to play video games or go on the internet. This is why it’s very important for parents to initiate activities such as these so they know that they can have fun and do exercise at the same time.

Children have lots of energy and they should be encouraged by their parents to use it in a proper way. Other helpful sports would be karate and tennis. And NO junk food! More fruits and veggies.

If exercise is fun it is so much easier to do. I always try to do something with a partner or in a group so I can be held accountable.

All this combined with a balanced diet and controlled, will surely help children with these problems.

Kids just love to play – running,, jumping, hitting a ball laughing while they do it.

I think the main thing is not to dress it up as exercise.

Of course it helps if, as a parent, you can enjoy it with them.

Kids really need exercise but its unfortunate that most kids dont really engage in exercise, I love swimming as a form of exercise, because it will exercise every part of your body.
