Every home is lighted up with the
happiness children bring to the entire family. Their energy, naughtiness,
innocence and love integrate perfectly to be the bundle of joy in home. They
provide hope to live and hope to grow. Their growth creates an atmosphere of
growth for the home as well. All the parents would definitely agree to the fact
that watching the kids grow is very enthralling and gratifying.
It’s exciting to see them take
each step forward. And it’s the parental responsibility to provide the best
education, culture and health conducive for their growth physically and
mentally. While the children these days are feeling the heat to excel in
academics to catch up with the competitive world, the nutritional support
required should not be ignored by the parents. The key element to propel
excellence in all the fields is a healthy diet and lifestyle. In the world we
live in where our delicate children are exposed to more pollution, plenty of junk
food and excessive stress level, parents need to handpick each activity for
their children to lead life healthily.

Right from the fetal growth till
children reach adulthood, parents need to take extra care in each step- vaccination,
periodical checkup, child care policy, home medication, medical contacts,
emergency caregivers and most importantly healthy food habits. Life of working
parents has become too difficult to balance between work and family. Juggling
between client appointments and quality family time, the modern parents usually
get panic when the children get sick. But the right perspective can make a sea
difference. Instead of seeing it as a problem, parents can look at it as an
opportunity to re-bond and restart.
The house would seem to be in
miserable condition lacking the usual laughter, naughtiness and bustle when the
apple of your eye is sick. You have to reject the option of getting disheartened
and do not make the other members of the family feel anxious or ignored. While the
medication is going on for the sickness, extended story time coupled with
snuggling could really have an impact. Prepare their favorite food to cheer up
the mood while keeping in mind the health status could help as well.
As prevention is better than
cure, it’s better to have an eye on your children’s diet. No matter how busy
you are, take a moment to pay attention what nutrients are reaching or not reaching
their body. Offer them a plethora of choices and make sure you prepare their favorite
food with high nutritional value. Get a habit of knowing their activities that
increase their stress level and plan out a break-free schedule to rejuvenate. They
are not just the carriers of your family legacy; they are also the future of
the nation. By taking care of their growth you take care of the nation’s
growth.
To the loving parents, keep
pampering your children but in the same time make sure they get the right
amount of nutrition and immunity to fight back illness!
