There are some signs that indicate your child isn't receiving enough protein. Some of those signs include:

• Frequent infections
• Fluid retention
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Loss of weight
• Slow growth and/or development

If children do not get enough protein, their blood sugar level can go up. They develop a craving for sugar which gives only a temporary spurt of energy. Proteins will provide the necessary ingredient our body needs for energy and will keep blood sugar levels normalized.

Since proteins are so important to the body and the body is incapable of producing enough, make sure that you are providing your child with some of these perfect protein sources. Not only does protein play an important role in your child's development but it can also help them do better in sports and other active play.
