Abstract

Preschool children (ages 3–6 years) are in their golden age of development, during which physical and psychological maturity progress rapidly. Fine motor skills are particularly important, as they support later academic abilities such as writing and drawing. This study aimed to determine the effect of coloring stimulation on the fine motor development of preschool children at Aisyiyah Kindergarten, Sungai Alang Branch, Karang Intan. This research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design using one group pretest–posttest without a control group. The study involved 18 children in class B. Fine motor development was measured using an observation rubric, and data were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.  Before the intervention, the mean fine motor score was 3.89 (range 3–5). After five sessions of coloring stimulation, the mean score increased to 10.11 (range 8–12). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p-value=0.001, p<0.005), indicating that coloring stimulation had a measurable impact on children’s fine motor development. Coloring stimulation significantly improves preschool children’s fine motor skills. Both teachers and parents are encouraged to provide regular coloring activities as a simple, enjoyable, and effective strategy to optimize children’s developmental outcomes.

Abstract

Nutritional issues in toddlers remain a public health challenge, impacting their growth, development, and immune system. Nutrition intervention programs through supplementary feeding (PMT) and growth monitoring have been implemented at the community health center (Puskesmas) and integrated health service posts (Posyandu). However, program effectiveness is largely determined by community acceptance, regular distribution, and the quality of health services. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the nutrition intervention program for toddlers, including community knowledge, acceptance of assistance, perceived impacts, implementation challenges, and service quality. The study used a quantitative and qualitative approach (mixed methods) using questionnaires and in-depth interviews with mothers of toddlers receiving nutrition assistance. Data were analyzed thematically according to the categories of knowledge, acceptance, impacts, challenges, service quality, and community expectations. The results showed that the majority of respondents were aware of the nutrition intervention program and had received PMT assistance since 2024–2025. The program was assessed as having a positive impact in the form of weight gain, improved appetite, and decreased frequency of illness in toddlers. The quality of services provided by the community health center and integrated health service posts (Posyandu) was appreciated for being friendly and informative. Challenges emerged relatively minor, primarily related to the technical aspects of PMT distribution. Respondents hoped the program would continue with additional nutritious food variations. The nutrition intervention program has proven well-received by the community and has had a positive impact on toddler health. The program's success can be strengthened through diversification of support, ongoing monitoring, and increased participation of integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres in family support.

Abstract

Based on 2024 data, Banjar Regency has stunting data reaching 24.38%. The Astambul sub-district area is one of the location loci that are the focus of intensive stunting handling through the Stunting Case Audit (AKS) program initiated by the Health Office and the Banjar Regency Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team for more targeted interventions. Data from the Banjar Regency Central Statistics Agency shows that the total area of ​​Pingaran Ilir Village is 13.5 km². It is one of 22 villages in the Astambul Sub-district, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province, with a stunting case of 35.82%. This problem is caused by several factors, including low parental knowledge about good parenting and lack of access to information and quality health services. The purpose of this community service is to empower cadres through appropriate socialization and education for parents while increasing the capacity of parental knowledge about good parenting and empowering cadres in supporting sustainability so that partner problems can be addressed thoroughly to reduce the prevalence of stunting in Pingiran Ilir Village. The results of this community service activity successfully increased the knowledge of Posyandu cadres and parents of toddlers about appropriate parenting patterns to prevent stunting in children aged 6–23 months. Pre-post test evaluation showed a significant increase in cadre knowledge from an average score of 85 to 99 and parents from 78 to 93. Empowered cadres were able to deliver continuous education to parents, contributing to changes in better parenting patterns.
