Question
My brother’s child is three years old and sometimes has some health issues. My sister-in-law isn’t always sure what to do, so I want to help her by asking what kind of questions can be answered in a pediatric online Q&A. This way, she can pay more attention to certain aspects in her daily care or have some common knowledge to be aware of.
Answer
Children around three years old are full of energy and activity, and it’s also a time for them to grow. It’s essential to cultivate good living habits for them, avoiding picky eating or dietary preferences. Consume foods rich in calcium, iron, and zinc, ensure they get plenty of sunlight, and take glucose acid calcium syrup regularly. At the same time, encourage them to brush and rinse their teeth in the morning and evening. This is also the age when children should start attending kindergarten; teach them to dress themselves, take off their shoes, and use the toilet independently. Prepare them for the transition to kindergarten life.
