[quote=Anonymous]Eating more dairy is only going to accelerate his weight gain. Don’t restrict him on food but offer more fruits/veg and lean meats or protein at meals along with unprocessed carbs (sweet potatoes, brown rice etc). Experiment and find what he likes and will eat that’s healthy. Do not keep sugary drinks or desserts at home but stock up on things like no fruit-only (no sugar added) popsicles, watermelon, etc). Summer is great for this. That way he still gets treats and doesn’t feel deprived or restricted. Does he do any sports or movement currently? If not, have him pick something he enjoys and commit to it daily- can be a formal activity (summer swim team, martial arts class, tennis lessons, whatever), or informal like riding his bike, running, or shooting hoops in the driveway.[/quote]
