Hi! A five year old boy/girl can have a normal indian diet. Breakfast dishes like small plate upma, poha, or 1 normal size dosa with honey or dal chatni, 2 idli with honey or chatni, small bowl of conflakes, 1 paratha and any fruit of his liking. after 3 to 4 hrs he can have lunch that includes 1.5 chapaties with any veg he likes and small bowl of dal. Again during evening snacks he can have half glass milk along with biscuits or pastries without icing or small bowl of home cooked pasta, spaghetti. And during dinner he can have dal rice with veg and any home cooked sweets. In between the four meals if the boy wants munching, you can give him fruits or any other light and healthy munching. hetal replied. hello writer,

NN replied. Kids are very moody and they eat only the things they like and one thing in particular and it gets very difficult to think about things that they will eat or else no matter what you cook for them it all goes to waste.

Eating problems are very common in children. I see a lot of parents posting about these off late here. At 4 to 5 years, you can include everything in the diet of the child. I do that for my children who are 8 and 5. I give them cereal, vegetables, fruits, dal, rice, chapathis, upma, snacks and a variety of other things. You don't have to be very particular at this age. Just keep in mind that they shouldn't eat sweets or chocolates by bed time (dental problems will arise) Shon replied. Hi, I totally agree with you on this that this is the right diet for a 5 yr old. As he is in a growing stage, so he needs to have a healthy diet and to meet the energy requirement he needs to have frequent meals. In addition to this a child should have fresh fruits and vegetables also. No Name replied. Hello,
