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. The user can be a student, a teacher or a parent. Any individual can take the test. The test takes less than 5 minutes to complete but is efficient in testing the user. This can be a potential and time-saving way to diagnose dyslexia rather than the conventional method of diagnosing dyslexia by scans and medical procedures.
