Track the growth and development of children regularly.

ASSESSING GROWTH  

The preschool and elementary school years are a time of significant growth in the social, cognitive and emotional areas .

A complete nutritional assessment is done at Dietitian Kamal Bajwa's diet clinic . Children are assessed with standardized equipment and techniques . It is important to understand the growth and development of your children as well as  assessing the growth pattern  regularly because present health status is the the reflection of future health. 


NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT 

After assessing the growth, it is important to understand the dietary reference intakes (DRIs)

Children are growing and developing bones, teeth, muscles , and blood, they need more nutritious food in portion to their size then do adults. They will soon get malnourished if the appetite is poor for long period, eat a limited number of foods, or dilute their diets   significantly with nutrient-poor foods. 

In case the children are overweight this health status will also be responsible for so many metabolic health disorders . 

If your child is athlete, again it is must to understand his/her dietary requirement . In each and every case you as a parents able to figure out the  present food need of your children.
