"It doesn't matter that children are fat", "chubby ones are more lovely", "they will naturally lose weight when they grow up"... In the face of adolescent obesity, many parents have cognitive misunderstandings. A few days ago, a survey of 1979 parents of primary and secondary school students conducted by the social survey center of China Youth Daily (Wenjuan. Com) showed that "being fat and cute when you are a child" is the most common misconception of parents. 96.2% of the surveyed parents thought it necessary to improve parents' attention to adolescent obesity. The son of Zhang qiujie (a pseudonym), a Beijing citizen, has just reached the age of five months. She feels that many parents hold wrong views on the child's obesity. She thinks that the fatter the child is, the more attractive it is. She tries hard to feed her child milk powder and extra food for fear that the child will eat less. "It is often seen that some children are fat and become 'Michelin tires', which is very exaggerated. Parents are proud of this and think that their children eat well. In fact, there is a great difference between fat and fat. Obesity has a negative impact on children's physical development in the future.". In the face of children's obesity, many parents do not pay enough attention, and even have cognitive misunderstandings. The survey shows that "being fat and cuddly in childhood" (31.7%) is the most common misconception of parents, followed by "being fat means that nutrition can keep up" (26.5%). Others include: "the child is still young and not shaped, and it's nothing to be fat" (24.6%), "when you grow up, you will naturally lose weight" (15.9%). Li Chun, a senior three student's parent, believes that many problems leading to children's obesity can be intervened and corrected by parents, but sometimes they play a role in fuelling the flames because they do not have correct cognition. 96.2% of the surveyed parents believed that it was necessary to improve parents' attention to adolescent obesity. Zhang Xiaowei, director of the Nutrition Department of Hebei Provincial People's Hospital, lamented that it is too common for parents to have a wrong understanding of adolescent obesity. "One of our subjects is the research on the overall family intervention model of obese children. This research won the first prize of medical science and technology in Hebei Province. We found that the first responsible person for children's' obesity 'is their parents. Why? First, many parents think it doesn't matter if their children eat more and let their children eat freely. Second, it doesn't matter if their children are overweight or obese." Zhang Xiaowei reminded that if the child's body shape or weight exceeds a certain index, it should attract high attention and take measures to intervene. He mentioned that many parents do not realize the impact of their children's weight on the future. "Many parents think that it's wrong for their children to study well and adjust their body in the future. For example, for children in Grade 5, ordinary children may only have 1 million fat cells in their body, while obese children may grow 500000 fat cells to store more fat in the future. Obesity in adolescents not only increases the volume of fat cells, but also increases the weight of fat cells The risk of chronic metabolic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease will be higher in the future.
