How can I prevent my child from overeating and becoming overweight?

Curbing Overeating

Several studies have shown that as kids get older, they tend to eat the portion size that is placed in front of them ignoring internal cues telling them they are full. This is considered one of the reasons why one in five kids in the US is overweight. It is much healthier to offer small portions and allow second servings if your child is still hungry.
