To examine: Whether the statement, “toddlers do not grow as quickly as infants do”, is true or false.
Introduction: Toddlers are the children of 1 to 5 years of age. They experience rapid growth and development. They have a transition from milk-fed infant stage to independent feeding. Their eating patterns and behaviors may vary as their diet becomes less dense in nutrients.
Answer to Problem 1TF
Correct answer: The statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
After infancy, toddlers with 1 to 5 years of age and preschoolers with 3 to 5 years of age have slowed growth rate. They are more active and have reduced appetite. They are more vulnerable to inadequate dietary patterns. They develop motor skills and self-feeding skills resulting and increased control over food choices based on their taste preferences. They become picky eaters and sometimes their nutritional requirements do not match. This is the reason that toddlers do not grow as quickly as infants do.
Hence, the statement is true.
