Well, your kids need a healthy DIET as well as a healthy ROUTINE. Keep your kids active. I have overweight cousins who sit around and eat simply because that is the only thing they ever saw their mother do... Even at 2 years old, my youngest cousin ways 70 lbs. and all she wants to do is eat. If you stay active, and eat healthy, their is a better chance they will practice the same habits -- Simply because children love routines and they love to immitate their parents/guardians.

#1 and #2, I suggest feeding them healthy things and encouranging them to be more active. You can easily trick them into thinking they are just playing instead of exercising. I don't reccommend dieting because I think that will make the situation worse and I aslo don't suggest telling them they are fat. With healthy eating and activities, as they grow taller the weight will come off.

I have been down this road with my child. He was only about 10 lbs overweight, but I felt the need to stop him before it got out of hand. We have an eating scedule now with NO EXCEPTIONS. 8am 12noon 4pm 6pm and 8pm. It is working!! I suggest healthy snacks...cups of applesauce, 100 calorie pudding cups, fruit, cheese stix & peanut butter sandwiches. There are many choices out there and our kids cannot make the right choices on their own. It is our duty to keep them healthy and it is our fault if they are not.
