The study aimed to describe the mothers’ behavior who have children with stunting experience. Method: this study is a descriptive study with a sample of 174 respondents with a cluster random sampling technique in millennial generation mothers in the Martapura Kota Subdistrict, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. Results: The results of the study showed that a mother's parenting style in stunting children was mostly negative, and most of the information access of mothers was productive. Conclusion: Negative parenting increases the risk of stunting in children, whereas access to productive information reduces the risk of stunting in children. Nurses are expected to provide health promotion about the understanding, causes, and effects of stunting on children so that they can change parenting to be positive and access information about productive millennial mothers.
