1. Eliminate the fruit juice from thechild's diet.
2. Offer healthy snacks,presented ina creative manner,and let the child choose what he or she wants to eat without pressure from the parents.
3. Change from whole milk to2 percent milk and decrease milk consumption to three to four cups per day and the fruit juice to a half cup per day,offering water if the child is still thirsty in between.
