Abstract

The toddler years require adequate nutritional intake to support growth and development. The toddler's diet, apart from being an effort to meet nutritional needs, is also an initial effort to introduce food. The more diverse you are introduced to tastes, textures, colors and various processing, the more children will get a wealth of references to the variety and types of food. Mistakes in feeding toddlers will not only cause nutritional problems during infancy, but are also associated with nutritional problems in later life.
Stunting in toddlers is closely related to the diet they are given. Apart from being related to family food availability, child feeding is determined by knowledge and skills in providing food. Diet is often related to culture, so nutritional problems often occur in certain groups. Counseling efforts with limited resources can be carried out to increase the effectiveness of message delivery.
Group counseling is an effort to solve problems for patients with the same problem. By gathering patients with relatively similar problems, the message will be more focused and it can even happen that they share experiences with each other.
