Minerals essential for children’s growth and development include protein, calcium, vitamins, carbohydrates, and fats. Daily diets should provide balanced nutrition to prevent picky eating and frequent consumption of fast food. It is also recommended that children engage in regular outdoor physical activity, which helps promote skeletal growth and development.
