Balanced and healthy diet strengthens your child's immune system, helps him or her maintain healthy weight, and aids in his or her brain and bone development.

[/B][/I] [I][B] [/B][/I] [B]Nutrition for children can also help establish a foundation for healthy eating habits and nutritional knowledge that your child can apply throughout life.Under-nutrition in children can lead to lack of interest in learning and physical activities which can negatively hamper their overall growth and development.[/B][B]Few points to mention here are:[/B] [LIST] [*]Introduce variety of food to your child at an early stage so as to avoid them to become picky eaters. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Avoid making them eat in front of TV, I-pad or mobile phone. Believe me, it makes a big difference. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Always ensure they take proper balanced diet in their plate.This habit will help them in future too. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Try to take out time to sit and have meals with them.Discussions during meal times create positivity in your child.In this busy world, accompanying them during the meal time is very important.This way they share their thoughts with parents. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]If your child doesn't like particular taste, start by trying to give him or her small serving first.There may be a possibility that he or she likes it the second time and ask for it again. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Ensure they eat whatever is served to them as this is the first step towards good disciplined nutrition habits. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Limit the intake of sugar in your child's diet as more sugar makes their stomach full easily.This way they will focus on other foods also. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Also, limit the intake of junk food in children.This will definitely shift their focus on other healthy foods.
