Abstract
The digestive system in children is a dynamic and evolving network, adapting as a youngster grows from infancy into adolescence. This article explores how children’s digestive organs are anatomically and physiologically unique, how they develop, what vulnerabilities they face, and how caregivers can support healthy digestion and nutrition early on.
