Stunting is a chronic nutritional condition that arises from a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time, which inhibits child growth. As a result, the child's height is below the age-appropriate standard. This condition starts during the prenatal period and continues until the child reaches the age of two. Seeing this condition, we initiated a stunting counseling program in Suka Mulia Village, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency. The purpose of this article is to present information about the implementation of stunting prevention counseling in children at the posyandu in Suka Mulia Village. The counseling was conducted through the provision of information services in collaboration with the local health office, with the aim of educating the community and encouraging them to join the stunting prevention movement. In addition, socialization programs are also conducted for residents whose children have shown stunted growth, where supplementary feeding (PMT) is provided. Therefore, this activity is an effective method to deliver information on preventing and reducing stunting in children. It is hoped that through the implementation of stunting counseling and PMT socialization in Suka Mulia Village, community awareness of child growth and development can increase, thus facilitating the prevention and reduction of stunting, and contributing to the reduction of stunting rates in Indonesia

Even though they have families and children who still need guidance, direction and love. One of the causes of children's behavior that is deviant or not in accordance with applicable rules is inappropriate parenting patterns in the family, as well as parents' lack of education and knowledge about religion. This can be seen from the treatment of parents towards their children. This research is research (file research) which is descriptive qualitative in nature. The key informants in this research were parents and the supporting informants were 10 teenagers. Data collection techniques were obtained through observation and interviews. The collected data was analyzed using data analysis techniques sourced from observations and interviews. The validity of the data obtained was tested using triangulation. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the parenting style applied by parents will influence children's attitudes and behavior both in the family, social and community environments. If the parenting style is right, then the behavior displayed by the child will be in accordance with what the parents expect and vice versa, the child's behavior will be deviant and contrary to existing rules.

The development of Information Technology is now entering various sectors, including health, and is implemented in Bidadari Binjai Hospital. As a health institution that is committed to excellent service and quality, Bidadari Binjai Hospital needs to innovate technology. One health issue that requires attention is rubella, an airborne infectious disease that has the potential to cause serious disorders such as hearing loss, cataracts, speech delay, and heart failure in toddlers and children. The initial symptoms of rubella are often similar to other common diseases, so public understanding of these symptoms is very important for quick treatment. This research aims to develop an information technology-based system that is able to predict rubella using the backpropagation method. This method is expected to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and make it easier for people to recognize rubella symptoms early on. The proposed system aims to provide better diagnosis support at Bidadari Binjai Hospital, as well as increase public awareness and knowledge about rubella disease. From the research conducted, the results of the accuracy rate obtained when conducting a test program were selected according to the symptoms and the results obtained were rubella disease with a 100% accuracy rate.

Background: The period of growth and development of children has the potential to get sick more easily. The onset of illness in children is usually followed by several symptoms, one of which is fever. Hyperthermia is a condition where body temperature increases due to an increase in the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus. Normal temperature in children, where the body's cell tissue works optimally, is between 36.5-37.5ºC. The prevalence of fever cases in children in the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, with fever in children aged 1-4 years, was 59,235 children. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used is Water Tepid Sponge. Objective: This study describes the results of measuring body temperature before and after water tepid sponge therapy. Method: This research used a case study of 2 respondents conducted on 31 July – 2 August 2024 for 1 time a day, therapy duration 15 – 30 minutes. Results: the application of water tepid sponge therapy to the two respondents showed comparative results of development before and after therapy in An. Az the temperature drops by 1-1.1º while in An. My body temperature drops by around 1-1.2ºC. Conclusion: The results of the study can be concluded that there was an effect of water tepid sponge therapy on reducing body temperature in both respondents.
