<![CDATA[In Muncar District, Banyuwangi, 105 children under five were recorded as stunted in May 2024, increasing to 121 in June 2024. Although local government efforts have focused on improving nutritional intake, aspects of parenting practices and optimal feeding strategies have received less attention. This community service activity aimed to provide training on parenting and maternal feeding practices for mothers, with the expectation that they would be better equipped to care for and provide appropriate nutrition for stunted toddlers. The intervention method consisted of training sessions for 43 mothers with children under the age of five. The results indicated that participants gained knowledge about stunting, child-rearing practices, and appropriate feeding strategies for toddlers. Based on pre- and post-test results from 28 cleaned datasets, a significant difference was found, with a t-test value of -2.360 and a p-value of 0.026. Qualitatively, participants demonstrated good understanding and were able to apply simple caregiving practices, as observed through discussions and question-and-answer sessions during the training. In conclusion, parenting and maternal feeding training can improve knowledge and foster positive attitude changes among participating mothers.]]>
