A. It’s possible that your daughter’s leg pains at night are indeed growing pains, which are common in young children and usually occur in the evening or night. Although she's active and eating a good diet, her body may still require extra nutrients, particularly calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium, which are essential for bone health. Ensure she gets a well-balanced diet, including dairy products, leafy greens, and protein-rich foods. If the leg pains persist or you’re concerned about her overall health, it would be helpful to consult her pediatrician to rule out any other underlying conditions and possibly assess her nutrient levels. The doctor might also suggest supplements if needed.
