During this period, my son has been eating quite a bit—needing snacks several times a day. What are the symptoms of a child's growth spurt?

Symptoms of a child's growth spurt include increased appetite, longer sleep duration, increased tendency to feel sleepy, as well as noticeable increases in height and weight. When children exhibit these symptoms, it is recommended to promptly supplement their nutrition, encourage consumption of protein-rich and high-calcium foods, and ensure adequate sleep, all of which can promote healthy height growth.
