How Parents Cause Child Obesity

Hi I'm roger Myers and this is my

argument on how parents contribute to child obesity.

So my thesis for my paper was Children that are gaining.

We at a young age and thus become obese are more likely

to continue to be obese throughout their lives and end to adolescents.

Some of the background on obesity

And how will be obesity is impacting people.

Children who are obese are 70-80% more likely to become obese into adulthood.

This is very astonishing percentage to know

that Children who are just 5-10 years old

that are obese

then will most likely be obese going into adulthood.

This is because their lifestyle changes won't change and

goes into the next point of how obesity is a

growing disease that can be changed with just simple lifestyle changes

like exercising,

having a better diet and having better portion sizes.

Some staggering information about obesity.

Try to be still

One parent was charged with a felony for neglect of care

because they allowed their 14 year old son to be £555

to other parents of mother and father were charged with

Neglected Claire as well

for letting their five year old daughter

to become £158.

This is very

I opening and very unfortunate to learn that

these Children were neglected and unfortunately became

um as obese and overweight as they did at such a young age.

Mhm.

So some of these obesity statistics in the United States

obesity has been on the rise over the past 50 years

and unfortunately it's seeming to only increase over the next 50 years

unless parents and their Children can take a stand and understand how

obesity and overweight nous will affect them so that this can change.

32.1% of Children are overweight or over beasts as of 2019 and 2020

in

the United States,

this is a very large percentage of

Children that are obese in the United States.

So some causes of obesity,

the main causes of childhood obesity or poor diet and lack of exercise.

This typically can be controlled by the parents though,

and they can dictate what the child eats and how much to exercise.

Um,

putting having to fatty foods in a child's

diet or having to sugary drinks like coffee or

getting them that smoothly that they want him very

negatively impact the child

or spending too much letting them spend too much time on like video

games or tv and not getting enough exercise can also be very impactful.

So what parents can do to help their Children

don't let their Children eat junk food all the time,

encourage the child to exercise greatly and

more timely and more often manner

and then have parents need to have a very positive attitude toward

eating healthy and exercising so that the child wants to do it

and then help the child stay mentally strong if they

were to be obese and then coming out of obesity and

um, coming back to a more

um, normal weight. Statistically,

this is how child obesity is affecting the United States,

and how parents can help prevent this from happening.

Thank you.
