Ankur came back from school crying. His classmates had made fun of him for his short height yet again. Naturally he was upset and disturbed and so were his parents, Vikram and Anita. It has often been noticed that children who are comparatively shorter than their peers develop a low self-esteem and remain in constant anxiety and stress. That can have a negative impact on their overall intellectual growth, which Vikram and Anita didn't want to happen with their son Ankur. So they went to meet the school principal and complained about the incident. However they were themselves worried about their son's slow growth. Though he was only seven years old but his height had literally stopped growing since the last two years or so. As parents, they wanted to cure the root cause of their son's sluggish growth.

All parents want their child to have a normal physical growth, both in height as well as in weight, just like other children of their age. However some kids have significantly slower growth rate as compared to others and so end up shorter in height or significantly thin. Most parents closely monitor their child's growth right from the time of his birth, to be reassured that he is growing at an expected rate. They become anxious and seek a doctor's advice if they find that their child's growth is slow and that he has fallen behind his peers in size (in terms of height and weight).

Several factors can impair a child's growth rate - it could be a hereditary problem, it could be due to prolonged illness, it could be due to hormone deficiency or else could be due to deficiency of essential nutrients. As per the pediatricians, the age of 3 to 9 years is a critical phase for children in terms of physical growth. So their bodies need sufficient nutrients and proteins for a proper growth. Kids these days are however quite fussy about eating certain food items like green vegetables or pulses but parents still patiently keep at them to encourage them to eat healthy. They take special care to ensure that their children eats nutritious meals in appropriate proportions so that his body gets the essential nutrients it needs and his growth is normal. However in spite of all the painstaking efforts by parents, their child's diet falls inadequate and so his nutritional requirements aren't fulfilled. As a result, his growth gets delayed and becomes a cause for worry for parents.
