Eating habits have a direct or indirect impact on all systems of the human body since appropriate nutrition is vital for optimal development and bodily functions. As a result, it is crucial to establish programs that encourage healthy eating habits in children for their overall well-being. The study aimed to assess picky eating behaviors in children aged 8-13 years living in rural areas and to develop educational materials aimed at improving their eating habits.enThesis
