A. If your 6-year-old son eats well but still appears thin, it’s often due to genetics, high metabolism, or being very active. Some children naturally have a lean body type, and as long as they are active, growing in height, and meeting milestones, it's usually not a cause for concern. Here's what you can do: Add healthy calories: Include nutrient-dense foods like bananas, avocados, eggs, peanut butter (if not allergic), full-fat dairy, and dry fruits. Use ghee or butter in small amounts in meals to add calories. Offer 5–6 small meals a day: Include snacks like cheese cubes, smoothies, boiled eggs, homemade laddoos, or fruit yogurt. Protein-rich foods: Include dal, paneer, tofu, soya, chicken, fish, or pulses in meals to support muscle growth. Limit junk food: Avoid filling his tummy with chips, candies, or soft drinks which add empty calories without nutrition. Check for absorption issues: If he has frequent loose stools, tummy aches, or is pale/tired often, consult a doctor to rule out worm infections, anemia, or nutrient absorption issues. Deworming: If not done in the last 6 months, consult your doctor about deworming medicine. If you're still concerned, a pediatrician can check his growth chart to ensure he's within a healthy range for height and weight. Let me know his weight and height—I can help assess it.
