The success of development is closely related to the quality of good human resources. Establishment of optimal quality of human resources, both physically and psychologically is very dependent on the process of growing and developing at an early age. Monitoring the growth and development of children that is carried out appropriately and directed guarantees more optimal growth and development of children that makes children of high quality, intelligent, responsible and efficient for the nation and the nation. Based on the results of observations, the Posyandu of Beji Sidoarum has been limited to growth checks only in the implementation of posyandu related to growth, namely weighing and measuring height. Development checks have never been carried out because of the limitations of cadres and not every month the puskesmas midwives conduct health checks at the posyandu. There has never been a Posyandu health cadre who participated in the early growth growth stimulation and intervention training. Therefore, increasing education for cadres related to growth and development is needed to improve the quantity and quality of services at this posyandu. Outputs produced are 1) Compilation of booklets/modules as information media, 2) results of examination of fallen children under five, 3) Ability of cadres and mothers of children under five in stimulation and early detection of development using KPSP, 4) publication. The results obtained by cadres and mothers of children under five in carrying out stimulation and early detection using KPSP independently. Based on this, it is expected that the implementation of activities for monitoring the growth of children under five can run routinely at the posyandu.Keywords: early detection, training, stimulation, growth and development

The growth and development of children under five is very important to be monitored, considering that this period is the golden age period during the child's development. Some children experience developmental delays or disorders. One of the developmental disorders that is often encountered is a delay in speech. Early detection of language and speech disorders will greatly help parents to describe whether their children have speech delays or other disorders. However, many parents do not have sufficient knowledge about language and speech disorders. Based on this condition, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of early detection of language and speech disorders at Anyelir Posyandu and Sekar Asih Posyandu to raise awareness about the importance of early detection for toddlers. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection through the technique of interview, observation, and documentation study. The results of the study show that the level of awareness among parents increases towards the growth and development of their child's language after parents get information about early detection of language and speech disorders. By doing early detection on the problems experienced by their children, parents can get further information and treatment if needed.

Posyandu is an important tool in the community that supports efforts to achieve nutri-tionally aware families (KADARZI), helps reduce infant mortality and birth, and accelerates the acceptance of norms of happy and prosperous small families. However, in reality many posyandu members in the community themselves do not use posyandu to monitor their chil-dren's growth and development on the grounds of being busy working or not being able to bring their toddlers to the posyandu and lack of knowledge about the importance of monitoring growth and development in children under five. So a study was conducted aimed at finding out the relationship between the participation of mothers of children under five to posyandu with the weight gain of children under five. This research is observational with cross sectional ap-proach. Data on the participation of mothers of children under five to the posyandu and the weight of children under five is taken directly from the records of KMS and Posyandu Infor-mation Systems (SIP) for children under five in the posyandu. Analysis of the data used is the Chi-Square test. There is a relationship between the participation of mothers of children under five to the posyandu with the weight gain of children under five with a P value of 0.005. Where as seen from the last six months the participation of mothers of toddlers who actively came to the posyandu was 93.9% and those who were not active 61%, the weight of toddlers who rose by 78.8% and those who did not increase by 21.2%, there was a relationship between partici-pation to posyandu with weight gain. The results of this study can be information and input for PUSKESMAS Sumberberas Muncar Banyuwangi East Java village to provide guidance on the benefits of active participation of children under five to the Posyandu and can be used as a ref-erence to develop further research related to the participation of mothers under five to Posyan-du with weight gain under five. .

Immunization, nutritional support for food vitamins and nutritional content from food are important components to support good children's growth and development. However, the number of malnutrition and malnutrition in Indonesia is still high, causing many children under five to experience stunting during the golden age. Through this research, analysis and design of mobile-based information systems that can be accessed anywhere and anytime as needed is carried out. The design of this information system can be used as a guide for young mothers regarding child health information needed, especially during the growth and development period of toddlers by monitoring growth curves and providing health recommendations through the calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) in toddlers and can also be used as a reminder and recording of immunization data in children under five.

Abstract One form of physical growth failure in children is the "stunting" condition. Stunting is a form of growth disorder characterized by a child having a height that is less appropriate for his age, which is caused by chronic malnutrition since pregnancy. The incidence of Stunting toddlers is worth watching out for, because the danger of stunting can lead to generations who are not smart and sick. WHO set stunting tolerance limits (short stature) a maximum of 20 percent or one fifth of the total number of children under five. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, 7.8 million out of 23 million children under five were stunted or around 35.6 percent. As many as 18.5 percent are very short categories and 17.1 percent are short categories. In 2018, in East Java 2.1 percent of children under five were stunted from the total number of children under five. Experts explain that the main cause of stunting is due to the problem of chronic malnutrition since pregnancy. This research was conducted on community groups that have toddlers with an age range of 2 to 5 years in the working area of puskesmas in Kota Batu. The purpose of this study is to examine several factors that influence the occurrence of Stunting in Toddlers. The study design used probability sampling as a data collection technique, by taking a sample of 106 respondents. The results of the analysis of research data using a linear regression test obtained Economic factors (X3) with a significance value of 0.002 <0.005 and t arithmetic 3.182> t table 2.262, so it can be concluded that X3 influences Y. Thus it can be concluded that economic factors become the dominant factor among factors causing stunting  Key word: causative factors, toddlers, stunting

Human growth and development is very important because human will never develop without development and growth. The factors that influence human growth and development are not widely known, one of which is the fulfillment of balanced nutrition. Inadequate nutritional intake will have an impact on the growth and development of children under five years of age for long-term, which are permanent and difficult to repair. Likewise, maternal health will affect mother’s activities in taking care of family. Complementary feeding (MPASI) and food for mothers can be made from local ingredients so that children under five years of age get adequate nutritional intake according to their age. Moringa leaf is an ingredient that is rich in macro and micro nutrients. The high nutritional value in Moringa leaves can be used to meet the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers and children under five years of age in their infancy (Aminah et al, 2015). The objective of this community service was to improve the health status of mothers and children through utilization of Moringa leaves. This activity was carried out on September 14, 2020 at PosyanduMelati 2, Harjosari II Village, Medan Amplas Subdistrict. Having participated in this activity, the knowledge of mothers about the making of ingredients from Moringa leaves was increased and the knowledge of mothers about the benefits of Moringa leaves was also increased.

Toddler age (under five years) is an important period in the process of human growth and development, where in this period growth and development takes place very quickly. The process of growth and development of children that takes place quickly brings the consequences of increasing nutritional needs that are adequate. Poor nutrition is one of the factors that is significantly associated with an increased risk of acute respiratory infections, diarrhea, measles and several other infectious diseases. Such conditions will further worsen the nutritional status of children. If this continues, the risk of death in children will increase. Based on the Nutrition Program Report at the Pekalongan City Jenggot Health Center, in 2018 there were 13 infants with poor nutritional status 9 (BB / U) with 1 toddler with very thin nutritional status (BB / TB). This shows that there are still many children under five suffering from malnutrition (BB / U) and need special handling in overcoming this. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge, attitudes and practices of toddlers about malnutrition and to compile healthy foods or snacks. Pretest and posttest were conducted to find out the knowledge of mothers who have babies and toddlers with poor and malnourished status. The results obtained are an increase in knowledge both mothers of children under five who after being given treatment, which was originally 33.3% to 60%. Routine Puskesmas to conduct classes for toddlers with varied in delivery, Academics or other related institutions, to always provide counseling for mothers of toddlers
