After School Activities For The Overweight:
Research and studies show that our children are growing fatter by the day. Many families all over America are struggling to keep the weight of their children within reasonable limits.
As a parent, I know that it is nearly impossible for me to look into the tear-filled eyes of my son and refuse food. What is the alternative? Studies show that the number one reason for obesity in children is not junk food and class. Children tend to plop themselves on the sofa and munch away happily when they are in front of the TV sets.
