[quote=Anonymous]You are the role model for this. Parent up. Family bike rides, walks, whatever it takes to get him moving. Frankly you have a lot of excuses even though people are trying to be helpful. Your child is EIGHT and should not be sitting around eating and chatting with his friend if you are sincerely concerned about his health. Because they are growing, children don't even need to lose weight, they just need to balance their food and activity enough to grow into their weight. I HATE to exercise and tend to run on the fat side, but I am extremely conscious that my children are taking their cues from me. So I get my ass out there and do the family hikes, ride my bike, go ice skating in the winter, march around the house at the end of the day finishing up my 10,000 steps, and make it clear that vigorous exercise is a priority for me, too.[/quote]
