A very well written article and an intriguing topic! 

While obesity is becoming a problem world wide, child obesity is increasing at an alarming rate too. While, the extent of the influence of parenting style cannot be ignored, we need to consider the various other genetic and environmental factors into consideration too.

Also, i believe awareness as a community on health promotion and wellness  like mindful eating, importance of daily exercise etcshould begin quite early and should be emphasized and taught in schools, offices ,colleges etc. So that individuals are better equipped at taking the right decisions for themselves and their kids. Creative activities and play ideas should be incorporated to help kids explore and develop their skills and at the same time stay fit.
