Grandparents Increase the Risk of Obesity in Children Leaving your children with their grandparents may be bad for the little ones'health according to new research in the 'International Journal of Obesity'. TheBritish study showed that children who are looked after by their grandparentstend to be more overweight or obese. Researchers looked at over 12,000toddlers between the ages of nine months and three years. Kids who are lookedafter by their parents or who go to nurseries had no similar risk of weightproblems, although children of richer parents were more at risk, especially if themother had a university education.
Almost a quarter of pre-schoolers are overweight. This research could help reduce the rate of obesity in Britain. It should also send an important messageto grandparents – stop filling your grandchildren with snacks and sugary treats.We all know grandparents like to give children all they want. It is the same allover the world. There are several possible reasons why young children are moreat risk of obesity with their grandparents. One is that older people might be lessaware of proper nutrition and so give their grandchildren unhealthy food.Another possible cause is that older people are less active and might not playwith the children.
