A. The ideal weight of a 10-year-old child in India, like in any other part of the world, can vary depending on factors such as height, gender, body composition, and overall health. However, there are general guidelines provided by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) that can help assess whether a child's weight falls within a healthy range. In India, the growth charts developed by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) are commonly used to monitor the growth and development of children. These growth charts take into account factors such as age, gender, and height to determine whether a child's weight is appropriate for their age. As an example, according to the IAP growth charts, the average weight for a 10-year-old boy in India is around 28-45 kilograms (approximately 61-99 pounds), while the average weight for a 10-year-old girl is around 26-42 kilograms (approximately 57-93 pounds). However, these are just averages, and individual children may naturally fall above or below these ranges without it being a cause for concern. It's essential to remember that weight alone is not the only indicator of a child's health. Other factors such as height, body mass index (BMI), and overall physical and emotional well-being should also be taken into consideration. If you have concerns about your child's weight or growth, it's best to consult with a pediatrician or a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance.
