Upaya Pencegahan Stunting melalui Edukasi Pola Asuh dan Pemenuhan Gizi Balita di Desa Karang Bangun

الملخص

Stunting is a nutritional issue that requires ongoing prevention efforts, one of which is through family education. This community service initiative aims to provide education on child-rearing practices and the nutritional needs of toddlers as a measure to prevent stunting in Karang Bangun Village. The initiative was carried out through several stages: preparation, coordination, the delivery of educational content, and evaluation. The topics covered included stunting prevention, the implementation of appropriate child-rearing practices, the provision of balanced nutrition, hygiene, and the monitoring of toddler growth through local integrated health posts (posyandu). The initiative received a positive response from the community, evidenced by the enthusiasm and active participation of parents in asking questions throughout the educational sessions. This program served as a resource for parents to gain information on the importance of effective child-rearing and proper nutrition in supporting the growth of their toddlers. It is hoped that continuous education will encourage the adoption of sound child-rearing practices and the provision of balanced nutrition as part of efforts to prevent stunting from an early age.
