The Nutritional status of a child reflects their overall health situation. Care behavior during the first five years of children’s life, and actions and decisions that caregivers make for them, define how they grow and how a country progresses. Parents are children’s first gatekeepers and caregivers in regard to their health and nutritional status; therefore, the nutritional growth and development of a child is highly connected to family resources, the caregiver-child relationship and the caregiver’s knowledge and beliefs about caregiving. 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.
