Author Topic: Do you give your kids their required vitamins ? (Read 5448 times)

My wife and I were debating wether we're relatively neglectful parents for not giving our kids their vitamins. She claims that 90% of parents give their kids their vitamins on a regular basis and I claim its the opposite.
Obviously the most accurate way to conduct a study and settle this debate
is to ask the ddf family. So, how many here give their kids vitamins ?

My take is that as long as they're eating a nutritious diet that's good enough for the average healthy child.

We do have kids vitamins. We do remember to give them to the kids once in a while.

It's not a very strict regiment in our house. I try to focus on things like brushing your teeth at least once a day.

Agree, if the kids eat healthy, there's no reason why to give them vitamins.

We were debating about kids vitamins which are meant to supplement what they get dont get from foods because their diets are usually more limited. Specifically iron.
