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.

Monitoring the development of early childhood is a family task, but not all families can carry out this task optimally. Busyness, lack of knowledge, and the socio-economic condition of the family are factors that do not support this effort. Therefore, monitoring children's growth is coordinated through the role of the community through the Posyandu program. Posyandu, as one of the community-based health efforts, has a vital role in providing convenience to the community in obtaining essential services. To achieve this goal requires the role of a Posyandu cadre who has the knowledge and skills in monitoring child growth and development. The method of activity is carried out by providing material for child development and practicum on how to assess and measure children's growth and development. The results of activities were measured through differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test, as well as the results of observations when cadres provided services during Posyandu implementation. The results of the activity showed that the training in monitoring the growth and development of children under five given to Posyandu cadres could increase the knowledge and skills of cadres in providing services at Posyandu related to monitoring the growth and development of children under five.

Data from Kepanjen Health Center in Malang Regency in 2017, especially in the Cempokomulyo village, shows that 5.3% of children under five suffer from severe malnutrition and 3.5% suffer from malnutrition. While in the Jatirejoyoso village shows that 3.4% of toddlers experience malnutrition. One of the factors that influence the incidence of malnutrition is the lack of access to care and information for mothers of infants and the lack of initiative and skills of posyandu cadres. The provision of information, motivation and skills needed by cadres and mothers of children under five are considered as one step in nutrition recovery. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers. Nutrition training was given to cadres and mothers of toddlers, namely measuring nutritional status, feeding infants and children, breastfeeding practices, detection of growth and development of nutrition recovery at the posyandu level. The results of this activity indicate that there is an increase in the knowledge of cadres and mothers of infants, at pretest 10% of knowledge is good and 5% of knowledge is lacking and at the time of posttest it is 85% of knowledge is good and 15% is sufficient. In addition, there was an increase in the skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers, at pretest 75% of their skills were sufficient and 25% of their skills were lacking and at posttest they were 90% of good skills and 10% were sufficient. Thus it can be concluded that there is an increase in the knowledge and skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers to be mostly good. Posyandu cadres and toddler mothers are expected to be able to carry out nutritional recovery at the follow-up phase at the posyandu level.   Keywords: knowledges, skills, posyandu cadres, children under five mothers, nutrition recovery

Background: Teenage pregnancy is a common public health problem worldwide which is detrimental to the health of mother and child and has long been considered a high-risk situation. The risk of low birth weight (LBW) and preterm delivery is particularly high among teenagers.Methods: A comparative study was conducted in Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur during the period of July 2015 to June 2016. The study was carried out to compare the immediate neonatal outcome and morbidity pattern in neonates of 50 adolescent and 50 adult mothers.Results: In the present study, 84% belonged to adolescent mother group (17-19 years) whereas 50% belonged to adult mother group (20-23 years). Illiteracy was seen more in adolescent mothers (62%) and most were from rural areas (68%). The common immediate neonatal outcome found in adolescent and adult mothers were preterm delivery (96% vs. 52%; p value 0.001), low birth weight (LBW) (70% vs. 38%; p value 0.001). The common neonatal morbidities seen significantly high in neonates of adolescent mothers, viz: Neonatal sepsis (NNS)(54% vs. 20% p value <0.02), apnea (30% vs. 14% P value <0.02), neonatal jaundice(NNJ)(44% vs. 30% p value <0.01) while the other morbidities found were birth asphyxia (20% vs. 14%; p value <0.1), Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (36% vs. 24% p value<0.1), anemia (16% vs. 8%; p value <0.1), seizure (10% vs. 8%; p value <0.1), meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) (6% vs. 18%; p value<0.1) and intrauterine growth retardation(IUGR)(22% vs. 20%; p value <0.5). Similarly mortality was found to be more in neonates of adolescent mothers (14% vs. 8%; p value <0.1).Conclusion: Adolescent pregnant mothers are at risk of having poor neonatal outcome and morbidities like NNS, NNJ, RDS, apnea, IUGR, birth asphyxia, anemia and seizure. JNGMC,  Vol. 14 No. 2 December 2016, Page: 56-59
