Abstract

Background: The growth and development period is the golden phase for toddlers; thus, providing adequate and balanced nutrition is essential to optimize their nutritional status. One of the factors influencing poor nutritional status is limited food availability. Purpose: This study aims to analyse the relationship between food availability and the nutritional status of children aged 6–24 months in the Bulak Banteng Subdistrict, Surabaya. Methods: This study employed a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all children aged 6–24 months in Bulak Banteng Subdistrict, totalling 146 toddlers. A total of 107 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Food availability, was measured using the Household Food Insecurity Access questionnaire, and nutritional status, was assessed using anthropometric measurements. Data were analysed using the Spearman’s rho test. Results: The findings showed that most households were categorized as food secure, and most children had a good nutritional status. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between food availability and nutritional status (p =0.001, ρ <0 .05). Conclusion: Food availability is significantly associated with the nutritional status of toddlers. Parents demonstrated the ability to maintain good nutritional status in their children; however, they are encouraged to actively participate in nutrition education programs, enhance their knowledge and skills in preparing nutritious meals, and regularly monitor their children’s nutritional status.

Abstract

The preschool period is a golden era for development, where social and emotional skills determine a child's future ability to interact and manage emotions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between active parental involvement and the socio-emotional development of preschool children at Dharma Wanita Persatuan 1 Kindergarten in Kemulan Village. Using a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, the study employed a total sampling technique involving 55 parent respondents from the institution. Data were collected through a parental role questionnaire and developmental observation sheets, subsequently analyzed using the Spearman’s Rank Correlation Test. Results revealed a p-value of 0.019, confirming a significant relationship where higher parental engagement leads to superior emotional outcomes. It is recommended that educational institutions and community programs, such as Bina Keluarga Balita, enhance parental literacy to create a supportive ecosystem that fosters children's independence and emotional regulation
