Detailed explanation-1: -Getting enough healthy fats is essential for growth and development. Young kids need enough of them in their diet for normal brain development. Besides supplying fuel for the body, fats: help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K), which can only be absorbed if there’s fat in a person’s diet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Omega‐3 and omega‐6 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are known to play an essential role in the development of the brain and retina. Intakes in pregnancy and early life affect growth and cognitive performance later in childhood.
Detailed explanation-3: -Children over age of 2 should be offered low-fat and nonfat foods. Fat should NOT be restricted in babies under age 1. In children ages 1 and 3 years old, fat calories should make up 30% to 40% of total calories. In children age 4 and older, fat calories should make up 25% to 35% of total calories.
