Increase the knowledge of mothers who have toddlers about stunting. This activity is carried out by conducting anthropometric examinations to toddlers and providing education to parents about the results of the examinations carried out. Based on the results of stunting detection, 32 children (91.43%) were not stunted and 3 children were stunted (8.57%).
