Stunting is one of the effects of malnutrition that occurs among children. It becomes a severe issue when it has a huge impact, especially in the cognitive development process of preschool children. Thus, this paper will discuss the general problem among preschool children and how it affects their cognition development and influences literacy skills. The discussion also includes a comparison of the theory of constructivism by Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget regarding the needs of children to enhance their cognitive development.
