The National Wellness Centre believes more needs to be done to improve the knowledge of parents in Fiji about how to raise their children in a positive and healthy way.
It has found that a lot of parents in Fiji need to learn a lot about raising their children in the right way in terms of positive thinking, eating well, drinking well and also ensuring that their children get enough exercise and rest.
Director Doctor Isimeli Tukana believes improving the knowledge of parents will help address the increasing rate of non-communicable diseases in the country.
This has become a concerning issue after the National Wellness Centre found that a significant number of children in Fiji are going to school without having breakfast.
