Abstract

Stunting is a disorder of growth and development in children due to chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections which is characterized by their length or height being below standard. This can cause disruption of brain development, body metabolism, and physical growth. Parents' knowledge about good nutritional intake and its management is very important as a stunting prevention strategy in children. This community service aims to increase parents' knowledge about stunting prevention from an early age by providing good nutrition to children. This community service uses lecture, discussion and question and answer methods. This counseling activity was carried out at Posyandu Anak by distributing counseling materials and information brochures (leaflets) about stunting to parents to clarify the information conveyed. All event participants stated that this community service was very useful because it can increase knowledge about information related to stunting prevention and of course it has an impact on children's health.
