As a child with a birth defect related to bone structure, doctors stressed to my parents I should not be overweight. My parents did not let me have any in between meals snacks or sweets (aside to my Sunday ice cream) and sent me to Ballet classes. As an adult now I appreciate this, and believe these instructions should be given to parents regardless.
