Family and parents are responsible for helping children grow up healthy. because they are the most closest human being of a child, and they are the only one who cares about child health and fitness. I personally think children are responsible for their health from every single point. Because they know fast food and junk food will lead them to several kinds of health disease. One of the most deadly one is type 2 diabetes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Family and parents are most important people for children's healthy. In my opinion, they are always together with children so they need to attention to their children. Like you said, they are most closest people.
DeleteI totally agree with you concept because if the parents don't take care of their child who's going to do it for them.
DeleteThese are good points. When kids are little, they don't know about the dangers of bad food, and they never will if their parents don't teach them.
DeleteThe responsability of helping children grow up helthy is share betwen the people who pass the time with the children like family(parents,babysitter)and school. these people can help children grow up helphy by teaching them the importance of good nutrition and regular physical activity. Eating well and being physically active every day are keys to your child’s health and well-being. Eating too many high calorie foods and getting too little physical activity can lead to excessive weight gain and physical health
ReplyDeleteproblems, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
i agree that resposibility for helping children grow up healthy shared between school and all around family of child but i think it can be just for childreen who have age under 12 or 13 depend of their consience. and who have more than that , they responsible for themself.
DeleteGood point. The parents have a lot of responsibility, but once a kid is in school, that institution is responsible for educating them as well.
DeleteParents are responsible for helping children grow up healthy.Parents should let their children know that health is very important .People have healthy problem when they are children makes people have worse lives.Then children should eat healthy food and do more exercise so that they will have less diseases.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, kids should exercise! When we were younger, this wasn't so difficult, but now kids spend a lot more time indoors.
DeleteFamily who live together and children themselves are responsible. Family should pay attention to children's healthy. Children don't know what is dangerous and they are too young to distinguish between right and wrong to do. So family should let them know which one is safe and which one is dangerous. Also, children should listen be carefully and remember what can be dangerous to them. Then,they shouldn't do something dangerous what people said, also they should be careful to do something that can be dangerous.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Kids lack the cognitive ability to distinguish right and wrong and need guidance when they're young.
DeleteChildren are mostly irresponsible and immature, they don't really care about the consequences of eating junk food, because all we tell them is it's bad, and they are not suppose to eat it. Is this ever going to work? definitely not. I think it's mostly the parent's job to enforce some rules for them about their diet, or their habits, even though the child won't like it, we know it's for good. Also the parents should set an example, they can't tell the child to eat healthy, do sports and be active, while all they eat every day is junk food, they need to teach them right from wrong, not by telling them only, but by demonstrating as well. Children can be responsible in their own way is by realizing, and following what's being given to them. If they are doing sports, they practice hard, and if they are told to eat healthy, that's what they should do, by not eating unhealthy food behinds their parent's back.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good point,i thing they first have to learn the benefit of eating healthy food before they can accept to consume it.after they get the good understanding they finally will take their own responsability and stop eating fast food.And i think that's the great thing to do instead of forcing them to do it home and when they go outside,they start consomming the fast food.
DeleteI agree with you children do what they see adults do, parents should eat healthy at home and teach your children that it is healthy for them to grow healthy
DeleteGreat points, Youcef! Kids don't always listen, so rules have to be put into place.
Deletewe can say that the first responsible for helping a children grow up healthy is parnts, and second one is chidren themself, because the parents have more knowldege about the bad consequnes of to be fat or obese,while the children doesn't have, especialy, children who still have age under 12. When others who have more than that they can be responsible and take care of thier health,and they have to controle their diet.In any family, when one of children is fat or has diabete or any illness first one coming sad is parent because they like to see their chldren more active and sportive and in good health.
ReplyDeleteGood point. Parents inflict rules on their children because they care about them and want to be healthy.
DeleteParents and school are the most influential and the ones who should establish an example and healthy food in their environment. I've been there; eating whatever is good not caring about the 'unhealthiness' of it. If it was good, it was eatable no matter what. Children spend more time in school or just home rather then the streets. That's why, especially school, should incorporate healthy and fresh food, such as parents at home. When i say school i talk for my self, at least in my high-school food was just disgusting which made me go buy junk food. However, children should known better these days and try to look up for their-self although its mostly a responsibility of their parents.
ReplyDeletei agree with you. we have to same opinion. parent and school should take the responsibility because children learn everything from them and also they have the responsibility to give food to children. so they have to take the responsibility to give a good concept and health food to children.
Deleteim on comon sense with you when parents and school are involved in children s healphy ,both children and parents are likely to benefit bcause children learn every from them
DeleteI agree that it is incredibly important for schools to have a big hand in helping children learn healthy habits.
DeleteI agree with you . in other words children should be mature as well in order to be complementary to parents and school 's work .

ReplyDeleteIn my view,the parents are the most responsable for helping children grow up healthy.first of all,they're the one who take care of buying food.so i think they must buy healthy food for their child, and also encourage them,tell them the benefit of eating it.After the child learn the benefit of eating healthy food instead of eating fast food,how the healthy food can affect their life positively and how the fast food can negativily affect it,i'm sure at the end they will take their own responsability by eating healthy food.second, they should create recreation thing for them during their free time ,who can be a sport or a dance that will depend on your child favorite thing to do.finally they will understand the purpose of it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point. If parents only provide healthy food and show their kids healthy eating habits, they are more likely to make good decisions themselves later.
Deletei agree with you. parents are responsible for child health. because a child doesnt know what is good and what is bad.
Deletei believe parents are responsible for helping children grow up healthy cause only parents can teach their children to eat good and healthy foods. parents are also responsible to introduce them the benefits of eating good food instead of letting them consume fatty and junk foods which contain a high amount of fat and calories. children naturally have no idea about their food menu cause they eat what they get to eat without considering the consequences of eating them. so in my own word, parents should come up to persuade their childs to eat healthy. just to keep themselves healthy and away from serious diseases, they need to look at what they are going to eat because they are responsible for their own health. parents can only influence them to eat good but children are responsible to take care of it
ReplyDeleteI think you have a good point here but how you expect those parents to help their childrens in this circonstances when they don't know how to cook good food.
DeleteGood points, Mohammad. I agree that parents are the most responsible for teaching their children healthy eating habits.
DeleteThe only person who is responsible for children's health is their environment. Reason why I said that is the fact when it's your family who feeds you, you become strong full with strength. That's is the only way a children can stay healthy by eating original food make at home with good ingredient. Parents and family are two personnel point in those children's healthiest because if my family only feed me with fast food I will always eat fast food but if they raise me with natural food I will eat natural food that I know will keep me in healthier circonstance. That is why parent are responsible for their children health because they just follow what they saw.
ReplyDeletei ain't agree with you at all cause you picking on the environment. environment is not just a child's parents, his friends,relatives and the neighbors are also part of it. but parents are only persons who guide their children. :)
DeleteJust to let you know my friend if you are a good child who respect your parents your custom you will do has they says. For example I have my little sister since she turn eleven her mother doesn't want her to eat meat she never eat it even if her mother is not in the house if you offer her a food that content meat she's not going to eat it.
DeleteThis is an excellent point, Wickny, that it is the children's environment as a whole that is responsible for their good behaviors.
DeleteParent and government should take the responsible for helping children grow up health. Parent and Governor are very important to children because children is like a piece of blank paper, they learn everything from home and school. Children eat whatever parent and school give them to eat. However; some parent may need to work they have no time to cook, so they give children some junk food to eat that's very not good for children's health and it is very irresponsible. And also government should take this responsibility because school lunch is very fat and tasteless. if children keep eat it,they would become obesity; if they don't eat, they would very hungry that also not good for health. So i think Parent and government should give children a good concept to eat in health way and give health food to children.
ReplyDeleteThis is true. Where I'm from, the governor made a rule that there could be no junk food in schools, which upset the children, but was ultimately good for them.
DeleteParents play improtent role in their chlidren's life. They knows whats good and whats bad for their childen's health.parents are the most responsible for their clidren's health, beacuse if they eat healthy food in home they would'nt buy fast food and junk food alot. But some time is ok;).I saw students in my high school they used to drink sode and eat choclate and chips for the breakfast which is not good.children should also take care of their health i agree they are not much mature but if their parents and in school's teacher teach them about health then they might know about their health.
ReplyDeleteyes I agree with you said that some children are not mature enough and they do take care of themselves. Althought students know the soda drink is not healthy but school also allow to set the sell-auto machine in the school in order to make money, and students see the soda and want to buy the soda. Students should control themselves and do not do things that not good for themselves.
DeleteYou make a good point that kids should be allowed SOME junk once in a while. Everything is good in healthy doses.
DeleteParents and family are responsible for helping children grow up healthily because when parents decide to have a child, they start to have responsibility for their children, and anything happens with children, parents have the responsibility to take care of them. I feel this way because my parents show a high responsibility to me and I grow up healthily. Children have their responsibility to take care of themselves when they start to go to school, the reason why I said that because children start to be educated in school and they start to know knowledge by themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, schools and parents both have responsibility.
DeleteParents and families are responsible for helping children grow up healthy. Because when they made a decision to have a child they should have the responsability to show their children about learning how to have healthy diet.because children don`t have the knowledge of what is a balance diet
ReplyDeleteRight, Isaura, children don't have the knowledge of what is healthy until we give it to them.
DeleteIn my view i think there are at least three part who are personally responsible for helping children grow up healthy;such as parents , who play the first role since they spend most of the time with their children . School is the second one , they should educate them about healty food. at last , the government is here to embrace that by making it easier .
ReplyDeleteI think parents are responsible for helping children grow up healthy becuase kids dont know what is good or what is bad for them therefore parents should teach kids to respect themselve. kids are learning to take care themselve while growing
