“Parent-goggles” are putting overweight kids at risk.

“Parent-goggles” are putting overweight kids at risk. Parents have trouble telling when their kids are unhealthily overweight, and unfortunately this dangerous tendency has actually been getting worse. According to new research, 78.4% of parents of obese kids did not think their child’s weight to be unhealthy, and the probability of correctly perceiving their child’s weight has declined 30% since 1994.
