Parental knowledge is very important because parenting patterns and providing nutrition for yourself and your children will affect the child's growth and development. However, mothers' low knowledge about parenting patterns and lack of knowledge about fulfilling nutrition can cause children to be malnourished and cause children to become stunted. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017 Indonesia was included in the third country with the highest prevalence in the Southeast Asia region (SEAR). The average prevalence of stunted toddlers in Indonesia in 2005-2017 was 36.4% (WHO, 2017).
Height is a type of anthropometric examination and shows a person's nutritional status. The presence of stunting indicates poor nutritional status (malnutrition) over a long period of time (chronic). The problem of malnutrition in Indonesia is a health problem that the government has not been able to fully overcome. The aim of the research is to find out the description of parents' knowledge about stunting using the BERAKSI application (together with cadres to overcome stunting). The method: This type of research is descriptive. The sampling technique used in this research was total sampling, namely all mothers of toddlers who attended Integrated Service Post Lestari A and Integrated Service Post Rose B, namely 44 people. The research results showed that from the 44 samples studied, 10 respondents (22.7%) had not enough knowledge about stunting, 16 respondents (36.4%) had enough knowledge about stunting and 18 respondents (40.9%) had good knowledge about stunting. The conclusion was that the majority of 22.7% of respondents had a low level of knowledge, 63,8% of mothers' jobs were housewives, and 74.5% of mothers' education was up to senior high school.
