Tool four: Children overall wellness scale Results: The study finding revealed that, 88%, 75% and 80% of the mothers had satisfactory knowledge, adequate practice and positive attitude respectively at post instructional guidelines compared with 94%, 86% and 75% had unsatisfactory knowledge, inadequate practice and negative attitude respectively at pre instructional guidelines. Conclusion: The implementation of instructional guidelines improves the mothers' studied knowledge, adequate reported practices, and positive attitude. Moreover, high children's overall wellness.
