Abstract
The present article reviews the main behavioral habits that promote childhood overweight and obesity. Lack of sleep, eating while watching television, eating alone, skipping breakfast and comfort eating constitute a whole series of interrelated factors that shape the obesogenic lifestyle. The relationships among these factors are analyzed. We conclude that only complete modification of the whole set of habits will be useful in facilitating weight control in childhood.
