There’s no such thing as a fat kid before some point in elementary school.
Every little kid is in their own world, going from sitting to sprinting full bore, jumping around, on, and off of everything, crawling, rolling, wrestling around, climbing, spinning around like a helicopter – the nearest playground great yes, but the entire world the playground.
No matter what the nearest grown up thinks 🙂
It’s not exercise as you define it, but movement.
The kid doesn’t care, they try the movement out. There’s no inhibition about looking weird. The kid is fear free and out to explore.
Whether actions, places, or people – the kid is free and out to explore.
And all this requires movement.
Food?
The kids gonna spit your garbage out, while neither mom’s idea of healthy or pop pop’s idea of junk exists to the kid.
The kid is gonna eat what the kid craves.
Bearing that the kid is gonna eat as close to what you offer as possible to what the kid craves.
Grandma likes cooking lean chicken breast or low fat fish, rice whether brown or white, and asparagus?
The kid is pumped when grandpa and grandma take him to the science museum after school then out for pizza instead of grandma’s low fat unfilling fare that friday.
Then with popcorn and past the kid’s bedtime they’ll watch a dvd, and the kid will be up before 5, amped for breakfast, then outside to play with millipedes.
