Toddler

As your toddler grows, he or she may get easily distracted at mealtimes.

Diarrhoea, vomiting, itching, tightness in the chest, and swelling of the mouth are signs of food allergies and reaction.

During regular check-ups to monitor children's growth, doctors usually evaluate their vision and hearing, discuss their eating habits, and assess their physical and mental development.

Parents should note if their children's speech is delayed or difficult to understand, have trouble holding their heads steady, or do not respond when called as these are signs of hearing problems.<

Observe signs that your toddler is ready for potty learning and start preparing him with the basics. Practise these tips for successful potty training to avoid resistance and prolong training.

During routine check-ups, the doctor examines your child's eyes to ensure that his or her visual acuity is developing normally.

If your child has a problem eating or finishing his food, there is no need to stress over substituting the food, forcing him to eat, or depending on supplements to provide sufficient nutrients.

Healthy eating habits should be instilled from the very beginning as children are more likely to continue this habit.
