If you have growing children in the family, it is very important to have nutritious meals in their diet. Kids need many basic nutrients at this age when their bodies are growing and need a constant supply of vitamins and nutrients. Thus, the five basic nutrients required for a growing body are, proteins, minerals, fats, vitamins, and water. Thus being a parent, your responsibility towards your child is to take care of his/her eating habits and providing them all they need.
