The factors that cause stunting in the village of Pakuan include parenting patterns, lifestyle of pregnant women, unhealthy families, early marriage and there are still many parents who believe in beliefs or myths about the wrong diet of pregnant women in the community. The purpose of this activity is to accelerate efforts to prevent and reduce stunting through a family assistance program in Pakuan village, Narmada sub-district. The method is carried out by carrying out socialization activities, direct family assistance to the Pakuan village community who are the targets and monitoring through posyandu.
