But What Is Stunting?

Stunting is when your child has a lower height for their age. Not only does stunting affect physical development, but it also prevents your child from reaching their full cognitive potential as an adult. Due to malnutrition, repeated infections and/or lack of social stimulation, stunting could lead to difficulties in learning and comprehension, thus affecting their educational performance.

Stunting can be prevented

Myth 2: Just hang from monkey bars

Kids love to hang on this at the playground. But remember, they need calcium, magnesium and vitamin D to strengthen their bones as well as carbohydrate, fat and protein to provide them with the energy to hang on a little longer!
