Giving him healthy food and keeping him with a normal weight for his age
The most important thing is to model good behavior! Don’t bring any junk food or processed starches into the house, neither for you or for the child. Take the child out for runs and nature walks. Limit TV and video games to no more than 1-2 hours per day. Don’t let them sit too much. Make sure there are fresh veggies at dinner every day and for snacks. Cook together in the evenings so they won’t be a fast food junkie as an adult.
