Physical growth and development are pertinent for every human being, especially in the early years. Thus, research was conducted to identify mother’s effort towards developing their children’s physical growth, using the main research question: How do mothers develop the physical potential among their children? In-depth interviews with four renowned mothers and their children were conducted to answer the research question. Finally, three major themes emerged: Trust, Physical Activities and Food. This finding could become a part of the parenting benchmark in nurturing the physical potential of children. Besides, more research should be done to explore the best practices of parents in nurturing their children.
