Nutrients that parents must supplement for their children at primary school age
Children at primary school age often lack more essential nutrients than preschool children. Therefore, mothers need to pay attention to their nutrition at this stage.
Primary school children lack many important nutrients.
Compared to the years in kindergarten, primary school children often have to be self-disciplined in all aspects of learning and eating. Ms. Kim Hai (Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City) shared: “In kindergarten, my child ate and slept with his friends and was fully monitored and managed by the school. Now, parents pay more attention to their children's learning, so they somewhat "neglect" nutrition."
Children's milk drinking habits have also changed a lot, according to Ms. Thanh Minh (District 2, Ho Chi Minh City): "Before, my child drank 2-3 glasses of milk every day and drank on time. Now at primary school age, my child drinks milk "sometimes a day" and not regularly like before, I don't know if it is enough nutrition for my child..."

Ensuring nutrition for primary school children is an important problem for parents. |
Parents' concerns are completely justified, because the results of the Southeast Asian Child Nutrition Survey (SEANUT) show that: Primary school-age children lack energy and many important nutrients for development. Typically, in children from 6 to 9 years old, energy and protein only meet about 80% of the need, calcium is 40% lacking, vitamin B group also only meets about 70%,...
Meanwhile, these nutrients have been fully met in the group of preschool children - under 5 years old - the group that uses milk and dairy products every day. This shows that the habit of using milk plays an important role in helping to meet the nutritional needs for children's development.

Nutritional notes for primary school age children
According to experts, when your child enters first grade, you need to ensure that your child has 3 main meals a day with all 4 important nutrient groups: carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Breakfast plays an important role in providing your child with energy for learning and playing activities during the day. This is also the ideal time for your child to drink fresh milk, because protein and nutrients will be best absorbed by your child's body./.
