1 Be a Role Model - The burden of health and directly affect your child's health and weight. Children with one overweight parent have a 25% risk of becoming an adult overweight or obese. If both parents are obese the risk of becoming one of the jumps adults overweight and 50%.

2 Be positive - "Nobody likes to receive negative feedback. Talk to your child about compassion and encouragement. Instead of saying:" To lose weight, "saying," Let's get healthy and start taking care of our bodies. Focus on the foods you eat, where you can not. Say: "Let's select the fruits and make fruit salad, no," "Do not eat that."

3 Make healthy eating a family affair - a family that eats together, eats better, according to a recent study in the Archives of Family Medicine. Children who report frequent family dinners have healthier diets than their peers who did not, according to the study. Also fill the fridge and cupboards with fresh fruit, nuts, low fat cheese, and things for everyone to nibble.

4 Breakfast Food - A breakfast consisting of protein, starch and fat, keep your children more attentive in school. Studies have shown that weight loss is much more difficult for people who skip breakfast.

5 Make time for physical activity - physical activity a family activity. Every night after dinner in summer, go to a half-hour walk and do an activity that the children come. If you can not afford it, enroll their children in dance or sports they enjoy, and you really need to continue to do so. Or just put some dance music and dancing in the house.

6 Do not say diet - put your child on any diet and to prepare them for eating disorder - whether binge eating or closet or other disorders of the diet. Changes in lifestyle have proven to be the most effective way to lose weight and stay.

7 avoid distortion of the part - When serving food to try food from the plates and prevent or eat buffet-style family. When exposed to foods making it easy for eyes to be bigger than his stomach. Resist the temptation to begin in a few seconds and then check with you to see if they are really hungry.

Kids weight loss can be managed but it is something that takes both discipline and time.
