Despite the growing presence of obesity among children, particularly in the United States, there are instances where children may need or want to gain weight. This is most common among children who have been malnourished, but can also occur among teenage boys who feel self-conscious about their size, are bullied because they are thin or feel the need to bulk up for the sport they play. While encouraging weight gain can be risky, there are ways you can keep your children healthy.
Tips and Warnings
- Keep your doctor informed of your efforts so that he can protect your son from any poor health consequences.
