MP Giving breast milk too early at less than 6 months of age is an indicator that the mother has failed to breastfeed exclusively, which also has an impact on the rate of exclusive breastfeeding which is still low. Providing early MP-ASI is closely related to the decisions made by the mother. Giving MP-ASI too early can have an impact on the baby's health, including other diarrheal diseases. This is because the baby's digestive system is not ready to accept food other than breast milk, causing a reaction in the digestive system (Utami, 2019). Giving people MP-ASI too early is a difficult problem. Even though breast milk is known to have many advantages in terms of nutrition, immunity, economics, practicality and psychology, mothers' awareness of giving breast milk is still very low. The practice of giving MP-ASI too early, namely to babies less than 6 months old, is a serious concern because the digestive organs in the baby's body have not yet fully developed. This is caused by several reasons, including because mothers' knowledge about the importance of breastfeeding is still low, lack of family support for exclusive breastfeeding, and many mothers work outside the home (Yuliarti, 2019). An initial survey was conducted at the BPS Sulastri Clinic, Medan Marelan District, Medan City on mothers who had babies aged 6-12 months. Of the 12 mothers who conducted interviews, there were 7 mothers who gave MP-ASI to babies before the age of 6 months, and 5 mothers said that the baby has been given formula milk since birth because only a little breast milk comes out. From the results of this background, the author is interested in researching "The relationship between the level of maternal knowledge about complementary foods for breast milk and the provision of complementary foods for babies aged 6-12 months at the BPS Sulastri Clinic, Medan Marelan District, Medan City in 2023."

Character is very important to instill from an early age, because nowadays quite a few children grow up with global flows and intense use of gadgets.

In this program, the service activities we hold are given the theme "Growing the Character of Orphanage Children Through Educational Games", with a case study at the Ulul Azmi Orphanage, Cimahi City. This program aims to provide alternative positive activities for children so they can be free from using gadgets and at the same time refresh their minds. Character development in this activity is carried out through two main stages. First, this program targets elementary school children from grade one to grade six, with a more interactive method so that it is not boring. Second, through the medium of educational games, various moral messages can be conveyed in a way that is more interesting and easy for children of their age to understand. Thus, it is hoped that this program can help orphanage children to form positive characters from an early age.

Citizens are one of the elements of state formation because the state cannot be formed without citizens. The link between the two is citizenship. Each country has different methods in determining citizenship in the country. Regulations regarding citizenship in Indonesia are listed in Law number 12 of 2006. The Republic of Indonesia uses the principles of ius soli and ius sanguinis in determining citizenship status. Indonesia basically adheres to the principle of single citizenship where one person is only allowed to have one citizenship. However, there are exceptions for children from mixed marriages who have the opportunity to have limited dual citizenship before they are 18 (eighteen) years old or married. This is regulated in article 6 of Law number 12 of 2006 concerning Indonesian citizenship. However, in practice there are still many Indonesian citizens above 18 (eighteen) years old and who do not meet the requirements to obtain limited dual citizenship status. Explained in Article 23 of Law No. 12/2006, the legal consequences that will be accepted if this happens are the loss of Indonesian citizenship status.

The student worksheet, also known as LKPD, is a crucial element in the educational process inside schools. Nevertheless, several LKPDS fail to satisfy the requirements of being feasible, valid, and successful in enhancing the abilities of science process learners. Furthermore, the absence of stimuli in the LKPD to foster critical thinking among learners is a pressing issue that requires attention. The objective of this project is to create a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) focused Learning Kit and Performance Dashboard (LKPD) that may enhance the scientific process and creative abilities of fourth-grade children in primary school, specifically in relation to plant matter. The study employed the ADDIE Development paradigm, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The findings demonstrated that the STEAM-oriented LKPD created had a positive impact on enhancing the science process abilities and fostering creativity among fourth-grade pupils in relation to plant matter. Furthermore, the enthusiasm for acquiring knowledge and the level of scientific literacy also exert a beneficial impact on the science process abilities of individuals. Teachers and learners also evaluate the LKPD for its viability and practicality
