Dr. Ingmar and various nurses who belong to the California Children Hospital in Los Angeles created The HOPE program for families who have overweight and obese children.  During March 2013, parents can receive expert advice through this program.  In order to foster a healthy environment for their children, parents must learn how to change their life first.  Dr. Ingmar is offering this consultation at no charge and counseling will include children.

            Among children ages 2–19, about 1 in 3 are overweight and obese. (American Heart and Stork Association 2012)  Every year, the percentage of obese children is increased and Parents of these children are not sure what to do, so they have fears that their children might become obese adults.  The program, they are providing to the parents emphasizes ways they should change their way of life to a healthier lifestyle which well make their children’s life healthier too.  The program suggests that parents support meals to be on time for their children as well as making home cooked food.  Parents choose what food their children should eat, but let’s the children decide how much of the food they eat.  Also the program suggests parents encourage activities that involved exercise.  Dr. Ingman and HOPE recommend parents should limit children’s television and internet time less than 30 minutes per day.  Instead internet time, children do more activities outside. 

     Make eating healthier and encourage exercise for whole family lifestyle. These is not a single member of family on a “special diet”

  Focus what kind food children eat to have the energy, rather than focusing on specific calorie intake.

 Encourage children to join a sports team and outside activists.

Parents can get a guide line form the HOPE how to make healthier lifestyle for your children.  Still overweight adolescents have a 70% chance of becoming overweight adults. (American heart and stork Association 2012)  We can prevent unhealthy condition children with small changes in our lifestyle and The HOPE will help you.
