If your child is obese or overweight then you know just how frustrating it can be to deal with the problem. The problem is that it is difficult to identify every factor that leads to children becoming obese.

As soon as our kids go to school we cannot control what they eat. Most of their waking lives will be spent at school. When your kids are at school they have to spend a large proportion of their time sitting down. This means that your kids will not be getting enough exercise. As a result of ongoing budget cuts, many children no longer have physical education every day. The educational demands on our kids have increased and this meant that the recess times have shrunk. Most schools have physical education lessons once or twice a week and each session typically only lasts 20 minutes.
