FACTORS AFFECTING BIOLOGICAL/PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

1. Maternal nutrition

     Mother supplies all the nutrients to the inborn fetus through the food intake so that she should take care of the diet for her sake and that of the fetus.

2. Child nutrition

     It is not the amount of food that children eat but what they eat that contributes to healthy living. A healthy diet includes adequate supply of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, food rich in protein and calcium and dairy products.

3. Early sensory stimulation

     Children under 6 yrs. of age tend to be farsighted because their eyes have not yet matured and are shaped differently from those of the adults. After that age the eyes are not only mature but can focus better.
