| dc.description.abstract | The problem of poor nutritional status in toddlers is a serious problem that is still
faced by many countries, including Indonesia. Poor nutritional status can hinder
children's growth and development, and risks reducing their quality of life in the
future. Improper parenting patterns, parents' lack of understanding about the
importance of balanced nutrition, and environmental conditions that do not support
cleanliness and health, are the main factors that influence the nutritional status of
toddlers. Improving parenting patterns, increasing parental awareness regarding
health care, and a clean environment are very important in preventing malnutrition
problems in toddlers. This study was conducted to determine the relationship
between maternal parenting patterns and the nutritional status of toddlers in the
work area of the Mandala Health Center UPT. The type of research is quantitative.
