A. Definition of Healthy Children
The quest to raise healthy children begins with a nuanced understanding of what healthy
truly encompasses in the context of childhood. Health, for a child, goes beyond the absence of illness; it is a dynamic state encompassing physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and social well-being.
1.1 Physical Health
Physical health is the cornerstone of a child's well-being. It involves not only the absence of diseases but also the promotion of robust bodily functions.
