my 6 year old is not showing expected phyisical growth

by deepti16, Oct 22, 2009 02:37AM
My 6 year old son who is 39lbs or 18 kgs in weight is the shortest and the thinnest child in his class. He is very active though and is a good learner. He is a picky eater and pukes when given milk or anything beyond what he wants to eat.because of his height and weight he has become little timid and is always nervous.Please suggest a good diet and any symptom i should take care of.

How about you take him shopping and let him choose some foods show him the fruits and veg section, cheeses, del section, ask him what he would like to eat, dont worry about the Milk Orange juice is fortified so he will get Vit C there. Could his height and size be genetic how about you guys are you small framed folks as It may be genetic anyway. Let him choose some nice cereal they do cereal bars if he cant take the milk, eggs are good, with a slice of brown bread.Dont push his eating as that can create anxiety at eating,the more you push it the more he may not eat. Let him choose what to eat and see what happens ...
