The Effect of Mother's Training via Newsletter and Group Discussion on the Energy Intake of Preschool Children: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract Maternal education is a key determinant in improving preschool children's dietary intake and overall nutritional status. This review explores the effect of mother-centered training interventions—delivered through newsletters and group discussions—on the energy intake of preschool-aged children. Evidence suggests that accessible education methods, such as newsletters and interactive group discussions, can positively influence mothers' nutritional knowledge and practices, leading to improved dietary energy intake in children. This review discusses recent findings, implementation strategies, and the potential impact of these approaches.
