This study aims to understand the critical role of parents in supporting children's mathematics learning at the elementary school level. In this context, the research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to explore parental involvement in facilitating mathematics comprehension at home and collaboration with teachers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis of ten purposively selected families. The results indicate that effective communication between parents and teachers, as well as the support provided at home, plays a significant role in enhancing children's understanding and motivation in learning mathematics. Parents who are actively involved in their children's learning, both through direct interaction with teachers and by facilitating learning activities at home, are proven to help children overcome challenges in learning mathematics. The study also emphasizes the importance of consistent collaboration between home and school to create a supportive learning environment. The implications of this study suggest that active parental involvement and collaboration with teachers are crucial for achieving optimal mathematics learning outcomes.

The presence of both parents plays a crucial role in the development of early childhood, especially in creating an environment that supports their optimal growth and development. Ideally, fathers and mothers work together in parenting with a balanced division of roles. However, in Indonesia, father involvement is often less than optimal because of the view that the father's main task is to earn a living. This study aims to improve the understanding and knowledge of the community, especially in Tanjunganom Village, about the importance of father involvement in child care. Through seminars and mentoring held by the KKN POSKO 5 UIN Walisongo Semarang team, fathers were given insight into the division of roles, monitoring strategies, and evaluation in child care. The results of this activity showed an increase in knowledge among fathers regarding their role in parenting, as well as their ability to balance time between work and child care. Children who are cared for by actively involved fathers show progress in social, emotional, cognitive, and affective development. In conclusion, father involvement in early childhood care is very important to support children's overall development. Fathers who are active in parenting have a stronger relationship with their children, which ultimately makes children more sensitive to their emotions and environment. Therefore, it is highly recommended for fathers to understand that child care is a shared responsibility between father and mother.

Background: Stunting occurs when a child's height is lower than the average for age due to poor growth caused by chronic malnutrition, which occurs when a child's nutrient intake is inadequate for a long period of time. Stunting may have direct and indirect causes. Direct causes include inadequate nutrition, while indirect causes include parenting. Food consumption is a habit that improves the body's nutritional state in a measurable way. Objective: This study was to determine the relationship between food intake, and maternal parenting patterns with the incidence of stunting in toddlers at the Kuala Bhee Health Center, Woyla Induk District in 2024. Method: Quantitative, observational, cross-sectional techniques were used in this study. June to July 2024 were used for this study. Primary data and secondary data are two categories of data. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test for bivariate and univariate analysis. Results: The findings showed a significant correlation (p value = 0.000 <0.05) between food consumption and the incidence of stunting. P value = 0.002 <0.05, indicating a relationship between maternal parenting patterns and stunting incidence. Conclusion: There is a strong correlation between calorie consumption and stunting. Parental involvement is significantly associated with stunting rates. Suggestion: We hope that Posyandu cadres and Puskesmas officials at the study site will gain a deeper appreciation of the role played by parents in monitoring their toddlers' dietary needs.
