| description | The upbringing has the greatest influence on children's food and physical activity habits. Parents play
a crucial role in moulding their children's health behaviours through their habits form in early life.
Parents have a major impact on their children's eating habits and food choices. Children’s poor eating
habits and food choices are led to serious health consequences. In Southeast Asia, Malaysia has
known as the highest obesity rate. At the same time, it is estimated that one-fifth of Malaysian
children under the age of five are stunted owing to malnutrition. The study is focusing on the
knowledge, attitude and practice variables among parents during preparation of children’sfood. The
controlling of food habit, food intake, physical activities, selection of the nutritious food and food
safety and sanitation from home are crucial. Thus, the participants of the study included 138 parents
with children. The analyses involved descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and multiple
regression analysis. Children learn their habits and action from the perspective of what they see
through their eyes and in turn they imitate and follow the parent's practise. The huge commitment
and willingness of the parents can change the future children’s health, cognitive and physical. |
