简要总结
This project aims to design a nutrition-based educational storybook for preschool children and to evaluate its effect on improving general nutrition behaviors and reducing possible picky eating habits.
详细描述
This study aims to develop a nutrition-focused educational storybook for preschool children (ages 5-6) and assess its impact on improving eating behaviors and reducing picky eating. Picky eating is common in early childhood and can negatively affect nutrition and growth, potentially leading to health issues later in life. The study will use a crossover design with 60 healthy children from kindergartens in Istanbul. Participants will experience both the intervention (storybook) and control conditions. Parental consent will be obtained, and data confidentiality will be maintained.
