Can eating tofu and shrimp skin supplement calcium?

During the past two days, my child has been suffering from cramps at night. After seeing a doctor, he said that the child is deficient in calcium. Can the children eat tofu and shrimp skin supplement calcium?

    Tofu shrimp skin can be eaten together, so that the calcium content is relatively high. Everyone knows that tofu, shrimp skin and kelp have relatively high calcium content, but not that foods with high calcium content will fully absorb its calcium. For example, if tofu is fried together with spinach and soup is made, if spinach is not boiled in advance, the oxalic acid in spinach will combine with calcium to form calcium oxalate and will not be easily absorbed.
