Hi teachers,

The World Health Organization is recommending that parents of children between the ages of two and 15 keep an eye on their child's sodium intake each day.

- ... parents of children between the ages of two and 15 keep an eye on their child's sodium intake each day.


- ... parents of a child between the ages of two and 15 keep an eye on their child's sodium intake each day.


- ... parents of a child between the ages of two and 15 keep an eye on their children's sodium intake each day.

Are these three all correct?
