Jason is a 5-year-old child who went with his mother to the pediatrician. The doctor measured Jason’s weight and length, and informed his mother that Jason has a BMI in the 95th percentile. This means that Jason has obesity. When asked to describe their family history, his mother provided the following information: 1) his mother had a pre-pregnancy BMI of 33 kg/m2; 2) his mother was diagnosed with gestational diabetes; and 3) Jason was born large-for-gestational-age. When asked to describe Jason’s diet and physical activity, his mother explained that Jason prefers dinosaur chicken nuggets and French fries, which he washes down with apple juice, over fruits and vegetables. She does not know how to introduce more nutritious meals. In addition, Jason’s father rewards him with chocolates, and often gives him cookies to convince him to stop crying.
