The aim for prevention is early detection in children. According to Covington et al. (2001), it is essential to boost physical activities and making sure that the children are getting the right nutrition. An increase in exercise can help lower serum cholesterol levels as indicated in Covington et al. (2001). Providing the right information about nutrition with the emphasis on nutrition instead of dieting can help a child lose weight. Behavioral modification and support from family will help reinforce and promote a positive atmosphere, which can help the obese child gain confidence and independence needed to succeed. Saelens et al. (2003) also looked at behavioral treatment with the focus on nutrition and ��physical activity modification within a family-based context� (p.5).
