Abstract

Education on preventing stunting in children in the Krapyak Village community, Pekalongan City, is an 
important effort to improve the quality of children's health and development. Stunting, or failure to thrive due to chronic 
malnutrition, can have long-term impacts on children's intelligence and productivity. This educational program aims 
to increase public awareness and understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition, healthy eating patterns, and 
clean and healthy living behavior. The results of the Work Program that have been implemented are the Foster Care 
Program for Stunting Children, Assistance for prospective brides and grooms through the Elsimil application, 
Reproductive Health Counseling for Young Women, Counseling and Increasing Community Skills regarding Healthy 
Nutrition Menus through the Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting DASHAT, Counseling and Monitoring baby growth 
and development , toddlers and pre-school children, Environmental Health and Sanitation Counseling, Clean and 
Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). Through counseling, training and mentoring, it is hoped that the community can 
implement good nutritional practices, regularly monitor children's growth and access necessary health services. This 
education also involves various parties, including health cadres, parents and educational institutions, to create an 
environment that supports children's optimal growth and development, so as to reduce the prevalence of stunting in 
the region.
