Excessive severity of parents threatens the child with overweight, — found out Dr. Kay Rhee (Kay Rhee) from the Medical School of Boston University (USA)
Excessive severity of parents threatens the child with overweight. Based on observations conducted in 872 families, Dr. Kay Rhee from the Boston University School of Medicine (USA) found: in children whose parents set too strict rules (“The plate must always be clean!”), The likelihood of overweight is 17%. If parents behave more flexibly, this probability decreases to 3,9%. Of course, in the life of a child, rules and restrictions are necessary, but blindly following them, not allowing even the slightest freedom of choice, is wrong. Kay Rea gives an example: if in your family it is supposed that your child must eat fresh vegetables at dinner, then let him decide which ones each time.
