The approach to short term fasting in children should be carefully managed. Here are some best practices: 1. Clear Instructions: Provide clear and detailed instructions to parents and caregivers about the duration and purpose of fasting. 2. Hydration: Ensure that the child remains adequately hydrated. Clear fluids like water may be allowed depending on the medical advice. 3. Supervision: Monitor the child closely for any signs of distress, hypoglycemia, or dehydration.
