Never mention a child's weight to them. Get rid of TV and video games and strictly limit computor use. Go outside with your kids and encourage outdoor play. Don't buy a lot of sugary, fatty foods. Keep lots of fruit and veggies and healthy food. My kids like yogart. For treats, they like juice bars or those freeze sticks that have almost nothing in them to create fat. Serve food in normal portions. Most portion sizes are too large. Then, if they ask for seconds, give them seconds. Avoid fast food and if they say they are full, do not make them clean their plates. It's important for them to learn to listen to their bodies cues for hunger and fullness.
