Young children are suffering many social, psychological and emotional as well as physical problems these days, and these problems are increasing day by day. Though these problems can be petty or big, some steps can surely be taken for healthy living and to minimize these problems.
Some basic suggestions are being mentioned here.
First of all, take care of yourself. Don’t ever skip the meals. Breakfast is the most important meal to give start to your day with energy. Take at least three meals a day, without skipping any meal and without overeating.
Eat alone only when not possible to be in company of others. Always take the meals in company of others specially the family, when you are at home. This is the best time for sharing the happy thoughts with other members and for creating family bond which ultimately goes a long way to solve many psychological problems faced when a child is not able to share his feelings.
