Abstract

This study aims to provide a strong and clear overview based on relevant and reliable sources regarding the impact of maternal nutritional parenting patterns, especially in economically constrained families, on the physical development of early childhood. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. The study involved interviewing mothers of children aged 3-5 years in the Rawamangun area, East Jakarta, in May 2023. The results showed that out of 20 respondents,
7 mothers had good nutritional parenting patterns, while 13 mothers had poor ones. Among them,
11 children, or 55%, experienced stunting. It can be concluded from our research that the physical growth of children depends on the parenting approach, particularly in terms of nutrition and diet. However, to ensure children grow healthily, mothers need a solid understanding of good parenting practices. Therefore, to prevent growth delays in early childhood, especially in economically challenged families, it is essential to conduct socialization efforts on good nutritional parenting. This would help address nutritional issues faced by young children in financially struggling families. Such socialization should target not only the mothers but also the children and can be conducted at local community health centers (posyandu).
