Is something wrong?" I tell her what I tell every parent. A child can look fine from the outside and still be growing slowly inside. That is why we do not guess. We measure height, we check weight, and we measure the arm. Then we compare those numbers with WHO growth standards. In this podcast, we talk the way parents and workers talk at the centre. Why does a child stay short for his age? Why does weight fall behind? What does a green, yellow or red result really mean? And what can a parent check at home without any confusion?

]]> episodic no uzair iqbalseo iqbalseouzair@gmail.com false full What to Feed Your Child When the Result Is Yellow or Red What to Feed Your Child When the Result Is Yellow or Red 2 1 uzair iqbalseo Simple home food for yellow and red results, no expensive food needed. Sunita, an Anganwadi worker, answers the question parents ask after a yellow or red result: what should I feed my child at home? She talks about simple, cheap home food like dal, milk, egg, green vegetables and peanuts, and explains when a red result means meeting a doctor right away. A mother comes to my centre and says, "Didi, the result came yellow. Now what should I feed him? I cannot buy expensive food."

I tell her what I tell every parent. You do not need expensive food. You need the right food, every day, in small amounts. Dal, doodh, anda, hari sabziyan and moongphali are already in most kitchens. I will tell you how to use them, how much to give, and what mistakes to avoid.

We will also talk about when food alone is not enough. If the result is red, do not wait. Meet your doctor or your Anganwadi worker. Food helps, but a red result needs attention right away.
