Being a mother of a five year old kid myself, I'm always on my toes to feed my kid a healthy meal. But inspite of my best efforts he doesn't eat proper nutritious meal and that's what worries me the most. And it is not only the case of my child, but rather most of the kids living in my apartment. During every visit to my pediatrician, I raise my concern if my child's growth is right? And believe me that is the most common questions posed by parents to their doctors.
Children these days are picky eaters, blame it on the fast paced life where both the parents are working and don't have enough time. So, they tend to rely on hotel foods or ready to eat meals, which is completely unhealthy. Kids also tend to snack more on junk foods rather than having something homemade. They also give preference to having canned or processed food to satisfy their instant hunger. Because of these easy options available, kids these days don't prefer to drink milk or eating vegetables. As a parent, a little effort and attention will make a lot of difference. But inspite of that, it is sometimes not possible to keep an eye on every meal served to your kid.

Here the point to be noted is that if a child doesn't get nutritious meal, he tends to become undernourished, which affects both his physical growth as well as his psychological development. These kids are most likely to be bullied and neglected by their peers in school as well as in their friends circle. These undernourished kids become shy which results in developing an introvert nature. They also tend to develop low immunity and gets prone to catch infections easily and falls sick very often. This indeed is a cause of worry to all the parents.

Being a parent, it is our responsibility to ensure our child gets a balanced diet and has a proper growth in terms of height and weight with respect to their age. Try including lots of nutritious food like variety of vegetables and fruits in their regular meal, give your kids plenty of water to drink, include milk in their diet as a daily routine with proper time management. Also involve them in lot of outdoor activities like cycling, skating, swimming etc.

So, if your child is still lagging behind on his growth, then it is a must for you to catch up on his lost growth.
