  6. How to Avoid Childhood Obesity • Work with a pediatrician or family practitioner to learn developmentally appropriate feeding and activity levels, especially during early childhood • Work with school and pre-school programs to make sure children's daily nutritional and fitness needs are met • Opt for healthful snack foods rather than foods high in calories and low in nutrients • Be conscious of making nutritious choices and careful about portion sizes whenever the family eats away from home • Avoid sweetened drinks in very young children because their use can essentially "train" children to prefer the taste of soft drinks over water and milk • Limit children's television viewing time and program selections, and make opportunities for children to spend as much time as possible outdoors – the best place to burn their boundless energy and maintain a healthy fitness level.
