Heart Association recommends to parents in a statement released  Monday. 
Epidemic obesity rates among children is a developing problem,  said Dr.

Children's Hospital Medical Center and lead author of the  statement.

Breast-feeding infants. 
Ensuring that preschoolers get five servings of fruits and  vegetables and at 
least an hour of active play each day. 
Improving school lunch menus. 
Increasing physical education class time. 
Encouraging older children to put down the video games and work up  a sweat.
