Answer:
Protein is a macronutrient that is vital for child growth and development, yet research shows that one in seven school-aged children do not meet their daily protein intake goals.1
If a child is growing slowly or is small for their age they may not be getting all the protein and nutrients needed for healthy growth. The good news is that with a few changes you can help your child get on track.
Learn how protein supports healthy growth, plus simple tips for packing more protein onto every plate.
Protein for Kids' Growth
Protein plays an essential role in many bodily functions, including recovery and repair of tissues in the muscles, skin, organs, blood, hair and nails. Of the 20 amino acids that make up protein, the body can produce 11 — the other nine must come from food.
"Many sources of protein provide important nutrients like vitamin E, B vitamins, zinc, iron and magnesium and its part of nearly every cell in your body," says Jennifer Williams, MPH, nutrition research scientist with Abbott.
Williams added that children who don't get enough protein may experience health issues, including fatigue, poor concentration, slowed growth, bone and joint pain, delayed wound healing and decreased immune response. But with small changes you can protect against protein deficiency.
Protein Recommendations
Below, by age group, are the National Academies of Science dietary protein recommendations for children, but Williams notes that these represent the minimum amounts needed to prevent deficiency. Talk to your pediatrician about individual protein needs based on age, activity level and any other considerations to determine what's best for your child.
