My nephew is going to be 6 years old in March and is 80 pounds. He is pretty tall and heavy. The doctor told his parents he had high levels of cholesterol and and sent him to a nutritionist. The nutritionist gave them a special diet. However, this diet lasted a couple of days and he eats alot. He is very anxious and wants to eat all the time. His mom gives him anything he wants plus big portions. He eats the same quantity as an adult. I go to school and work; however I try to take him to the park everday so he can exercise and lower the anxiety.
Well, how should I proceed? What’s the best alternative? Afterschool sports?
His parents don’t collaborate with me; so I have to do it myself.
I will apreciate your help!!!!!!
