I am a concerned & exhausted mother of a 4-year-old boy. Due to the current situation, we are in a state of lockdown in India. We have been staying indoors with no school and no visit to the playground. Even though I am trying my best to keep my child safe, I am still worried about his health. Because I am not sure if his immune system is strong enough to fight off such infectious diseases. It’s time to check nutrition in Indian kids for their strong immunity!

The only right thing to do now is to work on strengthening our kid’s immunity by all means. One of the best ways is ensuring they get the right nutrition. But it is definitely not the easiest way considering the eating habits of kids nowadays. And that’s why there’s a need for a nutrition check! Another way to build their immunity is by teaching them the importance of maintaining hygiene.

Nutrition is an important factor influencing a child’s growth and immunity!

Why do we need to check nutrition in Indian kids?

So, a few days back while on a group chat I asked my friends to share their reasons why they think their child is not getting enough nutrition. And here are the 5 common points from that discussion-

1. Most of the kids nowadays are fussy eaters.
2. Many kids have developed poor eating habits early on in life.
3. Parents/family members give in to the child’s demands of junk food.
4. Not getting enough essential nutrients through a regular diet.
5. Being in a nuclear family & parents working, it gets difficult to provide complete balanced nutrition to kids.

Now, it was time to address the main problem. And, I was amazed to learn some really helpful tips to bridge the nutritional gap & boost immunity. We all agreed that it’s a vicious cycle which starts with inadequate nutrition which leads to impaired immunity & infections. And this may further cause a delay in growth too.

Better Immunity, Better Growth!

Hence, we all have decided to take some necessary steps to ensure that our kids grow right. Also, looking at the current scenario, it’s necessary to teach our kids the importance of maintaining hygiene.

I am now using this opportunity of home quarantine to help my son build strong immunity. Here are some steps I am following to make sure my child stays safe & healthy.

1. I involve my son in talks around healthy foods & healthy eating.
2. We are also doing some fun activities to learn about nutrients for healthy growth.
3. Nemit loves helping me in the kitchen, so I try to show him how we prepare healthy food.
4. Focussing on immunity-boosting foods & involving them in our daily diet. 
5. We are now strictly following the meal routine of 3 meals and 3 snacks.

Apart from this, I am also giving him a glass of PediaSure daily to cover up any nutritional gaps. You too can #StaySureWithPediaSure. PediaSure has 37 nutrients that support growth, brain development, and immunity.

Hey guys, today am going to show you a really fun DIY activity which we did recently. No, it was not from one of our activity boxes, instead, it came inside the pack of PediaSure. Well, actually we used the PediaSure box itself for this DIY activity. Interesting, isn’t?

PediaSure is a scientifically formulated supplement that provides balanced nutrition for children 2 years and above. They have been taking care of the nutritional needs of fussy eaters for many years. They know very well that to support the optimum brain development in kids both nutrition as well as fun stimulating activities is crucial.

The most trusted brand of all mothers has recently launched their new Fun N Learn pack which is a perfect blend of learning, creativity, and growth. And as the name suggests, now the box offers not just growth and immunity but also fun and learn with their creative DIY activities.

Here’s the new PediaSure pack with a Fun DIY Activity inside

Not just that, they have done a commendable job by shifting from plastic to carton box. We are truly impressed by their thoughtful move of going eco-friendly with their packaging.

Well, that’s not all, they have printed the fun DIY activity on their boxes so that the box itself can be upcycled.

What a brilliant way of contributing to the child’s growth & learning as well as to our environment. Let me show you what activity we got inside our box.

A Fun DIY Activity

Our days become fun when we have lots of engaging play-based activities to do. Now that the winters are here, evenings are getting cold and gloomy. Most of the kids don’t even come out to play. And I easily run out of ideas to keep Nemit happily engaged at home.

However, when I received this new PediaSure box, I knew we are going to have a really fun time together. When I told Nemit about the activity inside the box, he was too excited to try it out. The activity which we got is called Round the clock, an interactive timetable for kids. It is fun as well as teaches something hence win-win for us.

The complete activity with stepwise instructions is printed on the inner side of the carton. To do this simple 5-step fun DIY activity, we just need a pair of scissors and some glue.

1. Using scissors, cut along the dotted lines to get the circles, activity rings & arrow.
2. Stick the activity rings on the small circle.
3. Now attach the small circle & arrow over the big circle using a thumb pin.
4. Cut & fold the flap to make a triangular stand.
5. Now pin the clock to the stand.

And our round the clock timetable is ready. Watch our fun video of this DIY activity below-

That’s all for now, guys, hope you liked the DIY activity. If you too want to enjoy this Fun activity with your child, do order your PediaSure Fun N Learn pack soon.
