Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children that can affect their growth and development. The role of nutrition in the first two years of a child's life plays a very important role in preventing nutritional problems, ranging from stunting to other forms of malnutrition. Proper breastfeeding and complementary feeding are one way to reduce the risk of stunting in children, and are also one of the approaches taken by the government in reducing stunting. One of the approaches that can be taken in optimizing the prevention or reduction of stunting or malnutrition is to increase understanding and efforts to change behavior, especially among the elderly. Efforts to overcome stunting can require support from various parties, both from health service centers and from community participation, in this case, parents and posyandu cadres. Good knowledge of posyandu mothers and cadres can play an important role in realizing a better degree of public health, especially in terms of preventing nutritional disorders such as stunting. This health education activity began with mothers and toddlers being measured first for their knowledge through a pre-test. Health education activities are carried out by giving lectures, Bento-making demonstrations, and discussions. After the health education activity, the mother will again measure her knowledge with a post-test. Measurement. This community service is to increase the knowledge and practice of mothers' complementary foods through a health education approach and increase the variety of children's food with the local food-based bento demonstration method. Before health education activities and Bento making demonstrations, mothers had low knowledge of 32 people, mothers who had moderate knowledge of 12 people, and those who had high knowledge of 8 people. After health education activities and Bento making demonstrations, there were 40 (76%) mothers with a moderate level of knowledge and 12 (24%) others with a high level of knowledge. With health education and demonstrations, mothers' knowledge about stunting and the variety of children's diets increased.
