Describe the rate of growth and the appetite of a child between the ages of 1 and 3 years
As the child ages, the rate of growth slows, as demonstrated by only a 5-pound gain during the second year of life. Young children are often more interested in the environment than in eating, which accounts for the decreased appetites. From ages 1 to 3, their legs grow longer and they develop a larger muscle mass and lose the baby shape. They begin to walk and talk and to feed themselves.
