Data analysis used the chi-square test. The research showed that pattern parenting (p=0.045 and POR=2.9) and pattern feeding (p=0.014 and POR=3.3) are associated with stunting. Parenting and patterns of feeding are related to the incidence of stunting. Good maternal parenting can prevent children from experiencing stunting and feeding; if mothers provide the right food for their children, then children can be spared from stunting.
