Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The report recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early on. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep. 530 $a Also available online in Open Book format via the National Academies Press home page. 650 12 $a Obesity $x prevention & control $z United States. 650 22 $a Child $z United States. 650 0 $a Obesity in children $z United States $x Prevention. 700 1 $a Birch, Leann L. 700 1 $a Burns, Annina Catherine. 700 1 $a Parker, Lynn. 710 2 $a Institute of Medicine (U.S.). $b Committee on Obesity Prevention Policies for Young Children. 710 2 $a Institute of Medicine (U.S.) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825035822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DAD38FCF19F11E1BCB6EE8F6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
