Children should lose weight by establishing good eating habits, ensuring adequate sleep and exercising more.

1. Establish good eating habits: Do not eat junk food such as carbonated drinks, fried foods and puffed foods, which can not only ensure the nutritional needs of children's growth and development, but also control their body shape.

2. Get enough sleep: Make sure to sleep 9 hours before every day.

3. At the same time, do some aerobic exercise properly. Exercise frequency is about 1 hour 3~5 times a week. You can also exercise your child by going up and down the stairs.

4. Reduce food intake: reduce food intake step by step, but ensure that children can get enough nutrition every day and lose weight without damaging their health.

5. Increase the amount of exercise: Parents should urge their children to do outdoor exercise properly. At first, they can exercise a little, but with the increase of exercise days, the amount of exercise should also increase.

Usually for children with simple obesity and hereditary obesity, it is possible to lose weight. But for some children, obesity may be caused by physical diseases, so they must receive formal treatment.
