It is possible that he was lacking certain nutrients during his growth process.
However, once the child has grown up, you can then guide them to lose weight in a structured and methodical way. As long as the child is determined and the parents are confident, they will definitely lose weight. Therefore, if a child is overweight, parents don't need to worry too much too early, so as not to affect the child's psychological development.
While it's true that people of any age can lose weight, those determined to do so should remember one thing: dietary control is a lifelong commitment. Even after losing weight, one must not overeat and must maintain this regimen for weight loss to be considered successful.
Mrs. Vivi's discussion of menopause reminded me of another related term, adolescence. And just like before, Mrs. Vivi wrote a chapter in her journal entitled "To Hell, Menopause," which resonated deeply with me.
Mrs. Vivi's article essentially states that middle-aged women, after their husbands achieve success and their children grow up, often unconsciously feel a sense of loss, emptiness, or emotional instability. All of this stems from an imbalance in their personal psychology, which many people mistake for menopause. Mrs. Vivi believes this is completely unrelated to menopause. She encourages women to broaden their horizons, read more, and start by changing their social circles to overcome psychological obstacles and create a better life.
When I read about menopause by Venerable Vivi, I was reminded of another related term, adolescence. And just like before, Venerable Vivi wrote a chapter in her book entitled "To Hell, Menopause," which resonated deeply with me.
Screw puberty!
Q: I've heard that you shouldn't gain weight recklessly during puberty, as it can affect your physiology and development. What do you think?
A: You shouldn't "indiscriminately fatten" children at any age, not just during puberty.
A reader recently wrote in about a problem during puberty, so let's take a look at the phenomenon of weight loss during puberty.
Parents often complain that their children, who were originally very well-behaved, have become unruly after entering junior high school. Some say it's because they've made bad friends, while others simply say that teenagers are always prone to going astray.
I cannot agree with this kind of rhetoric. Children change every day and every month as they grow. If parents pay close attention, they will find that many things have already shown signs of change, only to erupt at a certain point. If parents do not carefully observe their children's psychological needs and transformations before puberty, and then blame it on puberty when their children go astray, how can they solve the problem?
Of course! Teenagers in their so-called "adolescence" do need their parents to spend more time and effort communicating and talking with them, and assisting them in their normal development and growth, due to physiological changes and the pressure of entering junior high school and facing entrance exams. In fact, this is the kind of effort parents need to put into any child, not just teenagers.
Professor Hu Baolin, a renowned educator, once said this to encourage parents: "Don't be afraid of losing your child. On the one hand, you must understand the principle of 'rest assured' and let your child go out to experience life, instead of keeping your child by your side for a lifetime and letting him become your shadow."
The point I'm trying to make is simply to tell everyone that whether it's menopause or puberty, it's just a stage of life. Both physiologically and psychologically, it should be viewed normally and considered quite ordinary, without using this article as a pretext...
If you look at the issue of weight loss from the perspective of someone who has gone through a similar process, it becomes much easier to understand. Teenagers in puberty grow particularly quickly, so their nutritional needs are indeed greater than average. However, this increased intake includes nutritious proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins, rather than carbohydrates.
Yang1, people in puberty can also lose weight and need to control their diet; however, it must be done in accordance with the principles of nutrition or by using reverse psychology, and weight loss should not be done casually.
