Overcoming The effects of Childhood Obesity

There has been a huge increase in childhood obesity in recent years.

When your child has a weight problem you want to help them but often it is difficult to prevent your child from over eating because you don’t want them to be hungry or  feel that you are putting them ‘on a diet’.

Specialist help from James and Sue at the Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre in Eastleigh, Southampton is the answer you have been looking for.
 
Childhood obesity is more common than most people realise and, if not tackled early, can lead to a lifetime of misery, fad diets, health problems and low self-esteem.  The obesity increase affects many teenagers as well as children. If there is no medical, physical cause for your child’s obesity or weight problem then it may well be childhood anxiety that is causing the problem.

Your child cannot help being obese. There may be a subconscious reason why it is happening and your child could be eating emotionally (comfort eating) because of bottled up emotion related to anxiety. It is not always easy to explain the cause of this anxiety. If you start severely restricting your child’s diet or constantly draw attention to their weight problem, it will almost certainly add to your child’s anxiety and make the problem worse.

Whether your child has been overweight for sometime or has just stated to gain an excessive amount of weight there may be some underlying emotional stress or anxiety.  Possible causes for this anxiety or stress in your child could be the arrival of a new baby, difficulties at school, an argument with a friend, bullying, death of a family member or friend or a pet, moving house or changing schools or parents separating or divorcing. 

Any event that disrupts your child’s usual emotional stability could be a factor in their weight problem. When anxiety and stress are the cause of childhood obesity (overweight children) then hypnotherapy, using the James Holmes Technique works really well for most children.
