The growth and development of children is influenced by multiple factors like genetics, general health, physical activity, sedentary, sleep quality and proper nutrition. The disturbance of these factors during the pre-school period can negatively influence the health of the older child and later of the adult. An essential part of pediatrics is prevention. Pre-school care should provide opportunities for promoting healthy behaviours for appropriate physical and psychosocial development.
