Is Paleo Type Diet Advisable For Children?

Hello, My daughter has 3 preschool age children. She has them on a Paleo type diet, although she gives them a glass of unpasteurized milk every day. How dangerous is this diet for them? Specifically, is it dangerous that they get no grains whatsoever and very limited fruit?

Hi,

Because she need to understand Preschool kids needs proper and complete balanced diet and she is cutting out of almost all nutrients which needs their kid's brain and body. I think she need nutrition counselling that what foods are important for their preschool children . Please make understand her . Consult Nutrition councillor.
