BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF TEACHERS
STUNTED GROWTH – is a reduced growth rate in human development. It is a primary manifestation of
malnutrition (or more precisely under nutrition) and recurrent infections, such as diarrhea and
helminthiasis, in early childhood and even before birth, due to malnutrition during fetal development
brought on by a malnourished mother.
UNDERWEIGHT- is a term describing a person whose body weight is considered too low to be healthy.
OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY- are defined as ''abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a
risk to health''
IMPACTED CERUMEN - Ear wax, also called cerumen, is made by the body to protect the ears. The ear
wax has both lubricating and antibacterial properties. Most of the time, the old ear wax is moved
through the ear canal by motions from chewing and other jaw movements and as the skin of the ear
canal grows from the inside out. At that time, it reaches the outside of the ear and flakes off. Ear wax is
produced in the outer part of the ear canal, not deep inside the ear.
SWIMMER’S EAR- Otitis externa, also known as swimmer's ear, [1]
is an inflammation of the ear
canal.[2]
It often presents with ear pain, swelling of the ear canal, and occasionally decreased hearing.[2]
Typically there is pain with movement of the outer ear. A high fever is typically not present except in
severe cases.
OTITIS MEDIA- is a group of inflammatory diseases of the middle ear.[2]
The two main types are acute
otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME).[6]
AOM is an infection of abrupt onset that
usually presents with ear pain. In young children this may result in pulling at the ear, increased crying,
and poor sleep. Decreased eating and a fever may also be present. OME is typically not associated with
symptoms.[1]
Occasionally a feeling of fullness is described. It is defined as the presence of non-infectious
fluid in the middle ear for more than three months.
BLURRED VISION- refers to eye movement control and eye coordination. Something that is hazy and
indistinct to the sight.
ASTIGMATISM- is a type of refractive error in which the eye does not focus light evenly on the retina.[1]
This results in distorted or blurred vision at all distances.
MYOPIA - Near-sightedness, also known as short-sightedness and myopia, is a condition of the eye
where light focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina.[1]
This causes distant objects to be blurry while
close objects appear normal.

HYPEROPIA- Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness and hyperopia, is a condition of the eye in
which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina.[2]
This causes close objects to be blurry, while far
objects may appear normal.
XEROPHTHALMIA- is a medical condition in which the eye fails to produce tears. It may be caused by
vitamin A deficiency, which is sometimes used to describe that condition, although there may be other
causes.
STRABISMUS- also called crossed eyes is a condition in which the eyes do not properly align with each
other when looking at an object.
SUNBURN- is a form of radiation burn that affects living tissue, such as skin, that results from an
overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun.
CORNS- an in growing callus often on the foot
BLISTERS- is a small pocket of body fluid (lymph, serum, plasma, blood, or pus) within the upper layers of
the skin, typically caused by forceful rubbing (friction), burning, freezing, chemical exposure or infection
SCOLIOSIS - is a medical condition in which a person's spine has a sideways curve.
LORDOSIS- refers to the normal inward lordotic curvature of the lumbar and cervical regions of the
human spine
KYPHOSIS- is an abnormally excessive convex kyphotic curvature of the spine as it occurs in the cervical,
thoracic and sacral regions.
CAVITIES- are damage to the structure of a tooth.
GINGIVITIS- "inflammation of the gum tissue") is a non-destructive disease that occurs around the teeth.
PERIODONTITIS- also known as gum disease and pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting
the tissues surrounding the teeth.
MALOCCLUSION-is a misalignment or incorrect relation between the teeth of the two dental arches
when they approach each other as the jaws close.
HALITOSIS- also known as bad breath is a symptom in which a noticeably unpleasant odor is present on
the breath.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS
Nutrition is very important for everyone, but it is especially important for children because it is
directly linked to all aspects of their growth and development; factors which will have direct ties to their
level of health as adults. For example, a child with the right balance of omega fatty acids in their daily
diet has a much better chance at creating a more solid foundation for their brain activity and capabilities
later on. Likewise, a child who practices a low fat and cholesterol diet on a daily basis significantly
improves their chances of preventing a heart attack; even if heart disease tends to be hereditary within
your family.
We are surrounded by microbes that affect us in various ways and varying degrees.
Maintaining personal hygiene is of utmost importance for children and needs to be approached with the
right teaching tools and methods. Personal hygiene is much more than just keeping your hands clean. It
is also about keeping your entire self clean and taking care of not infecting others around you.
