Nutrition Basics for Growing Children
Essential nutrition guidelines every parent should know to support their child's growth and development.
Proper nutrition is crucial for your child's physical and cognitive development. Here are some key principles:
Balanced meals: Include protein, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Portion sizes: A child's serving is typically 1 tablespoon per year of age.
Hydration: Water should be the primary beverage, with milk at meals.
Avoid grazing: Structured meal and snack times (every 2-3 hours) help maintain appetite regulation.
