How To Know If Your Child Is Eating Enough Or Too Much

How do I know if my child is eating enough or too much?

You know if your child is eating enough or too much by monitoring their growth on that growth chart. If they're eating too much you'll see their weight for their age is going to fly on up. If they're not eating enough, their weight is going to go down. The same will apply to height. If over a long term your child is not getting enough calories, then your child's height will actually, their rate will slow down. So they may not reach their full growth potential. Same thing with overeating. I see a ton of kids who are overly nourished or eating way too much, and their height just jumps percentiles, it goes from like the 5th percentile up to the 9th percentile height for age.
