"There is growing evidence of the importance of fathers' involvement in raising children in other areas of children's development. The findings suggest that encouraging fathers to increase their involvement with raising children and including fathers in childhood obesity prevention efforts may help reduce obesity risk among young children. Fathers' involvement in caregiving is linked to decreased likelihood that children would develop childhood obesity, says a study. Current parenting childhood obesity interventions primarily target mothers as their involvement is seen as more important. The researches hope for future studies to understand the relative caregiving involvement of both mothers and fathers to formulate methods to better tackle the obesity epidemic.
Fathers, engage with your kids. Your involvement can help them stay in shape
