Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in toddlers (5-year-old babies) with length or height of the body under minus two standard deviations (<−2SD). This is caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially in the first 1000 days of life.
 AIM: This study aimed to examine the parenting style of family-based stunting children seen from the reinforcers and inhibitors of stunting in Makassar City Slums.
 METHODS: This type of research is qualitative research with a case study approach. Informants, in this study, were 26 people, consisting of families with stunting children aged 0–59 months in 2019 as many as 14 people, families who have stunting children aged 0–59 months in 2018 and are free from stunting as many as four people, one nutritionist, four Integrated Healthcare Center cadres, and three Community Leaders/Religious Leaders. Analysis of the data used is content analysis which is then interpreted and presented in the form of narratives, matrices, and schemes.
 RESULTS: The reinforcers factors consisting of adequate health service support and family members provide support in caring for children and providing nutritious food. While the inhibiting factors consist of uncertain family income for the daily needs of family members, and irregular nutritional food intake is given in a day. The need for nutrition education for community stunting management was analysed by the public health center and integrated health-care center through a program to improve the first 1000 days of life and increase family planning coverage.
 CONCLUSION: Based on the results of research and discussion of the reinforcers factor of family-based stunting children parenting in the slums of Makassar City. Hence, it can be concluded that the reinforcers factor consists of support for health services that are already quite good, and family members provide support in child care. While the inhibitors factors consist of uncertain family income for the daily needs of family members, and irregular nutritional food intake is given in a day.
