As a mom myself, I am well aware of the struggles faced by every parent on this planet! My child also refuses to eat vegetables, fruits and basically anything nutritious. It is almost impossible to give any child nowadays a balanced nutritious diet the way our parents did, and now I have more respect for my mother-I have no idea how she managed to make me so healthy for life!
I have many friends who are also parents like me and absolutely out of ideas on how to make their children eat right. I even have heard of instances where inadequate nutrition has led to decreased activity, immunity, lack of growth in children! It is worrying indeed when one feels like so out of control when it comes to looking after one's own child. They are little pieces of our hearts moving around in this world and it is impossible to stop fretting over them. Regular questions and comparisons of how healthy my kid is,what is his height,his weight and are these parameters being fulfilled by him as good as his friends, haunt me and several parents like me everyday! All those school lessons of planning a balanced diet have gone out the window ever since my kid refuses to go near green vegetables and focuses only on few chosen veggies or fruits and considers bread-jam as the perfect lunch and maggi as perfect dinner!
After all, it is when kids are small and in their early stages of development that they need the most nutrition. Their cells develop at almost double the rate of adults, they need extra energy to burn through the day while playing,studying,immersed in activities like swimming or even cycling, their metabolism needs to be at top level so as not to fall asleep in class or show signs of decreased activity, their cognitive development is also very much dependent on their diet and nutrition and in fact the child's cognitive development in their childhood is what ensures a balanced emotional state of mind for the rest of their life! Add to all this plus physical development, it is also during these early years that a child develops immunity to battle all sorts of health problems for the rest of his or her life. Now we would not want any of this to be affected for lack of nutrition, right?
It is thus crucial that all of us parents pay special attention to our kids' growth and development during ages 3-9 which show the most crucial markers. I want my child to be the best,not in terms of a mindless race, but in best mental,physical and emotional shape for the rest of his life, that is why I am glad to have come across Horlicks Growth+ as the perfect nutritional friend for him! Regular check ups are also not ruled out but at least now I can heave a sigh of relief. I am going to keep thinking of ways to make sure that there is not nutritional deficiency from my side, but even though he is a fussy eater, I am going to be happy that Horlicks Growth+ will provide him with all the extra nutrients he needs at this crucial juncture in life!
