Abstract

Suboptimal growth and development in children will have an impact on the incidence of growth and development disorders in children under five years of age and can cause the risk of stunting. The results of Riskedes (2018) show that 35.7% of children in Indonesia experience developmental growth disorders and are classified as high public health problems. The occurrence of non-optimal child growth and development is due to a lack of knowledge in the family, especially mothers. Maternal knowledge will determine attitudes and behaviors in providing nutrition, affection, and the frequency of stimulation given to their children. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of mothers about the growth and development of toddlers at Posyandu Sejahtera 1 Benyo Sendangsari Hamlet. This research is a mixed methods research, which is a research step by combining two forms of approaches in research, namely qualitative and quantitative.
