Influence of Mother’s Education on Health Status of Preschool Children

Abstract

The early childhood and preschool years, spanning ages 3 to 6, are pivotal for a child's development, with nutrition playing a crucial role in shaping their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. During this phase, marked by growing independence and social interactions, maternal knowledge of nutrition significantly influences a child's health outcomes and academic success. Research underscores the importance of adequate nutrient intake despite diminished appetites, as Grade I malnutrition remains prevalent. A positive correlation exists between maternal nutritional awareness and the nutritional status of preschoolers, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to ensure optimal growth and development during these critical formative years.
