Address the nutritional deficiency of the children, especially protein deficiency to prevent issues like delayed growth rate. It is prevalent even among middle class children. Unhealthy dieting do this. Measure your children for Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM). #HealthyEats
PEM is measured in terms of underweight (low weight for age), stunting (low height for age) and wasting (low weight for height). (Ask your child's Pediatrician for the right chart).
Feed the children eggs, milk, fish, chicken, yogurt, nuts, fruits, vegetables. Rethink your child's breakfast especially. Dont deny them snacks or other goodies but ensure they had healthy food before they could snack. And do not give them sugary drinks like coke.
