There is a major pathway through which care may influence child’s nutritional growth and development. Both psychosocial and physical care are strongly connected to the nutritional growth of a child in relation to the caregiver’s everyday practices. Factors the may influence physical and psychosocial care are recognized in this study as the nature of caregiver-child relationships, both caregiver and child characteristics, their support system and resource constraints.
