Abstract


Stunting can pose a threat to the development of a nation and cause affected individuals to experience various limitations, both in terms of physical development and cognitive abilities. The dangers of stunting have become a shared concern among the entire community of Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. Therefore, preventive measures are being implemented through educational initiatives conducted by local government agencies, such as the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection of Poso Regency, targeting parents and adolescents. These educational initiatives emphasize the importance of implementing effective family communication practices at home so that all immediate family members understand and are able to adopt healthy lifestyles. These practices include consuming nutritious food, using positive messages during interactions, engaging in physical exercise, and understanding boundaries in social interactions. Throughout the educational process, the community is continuously encouraged to utilize effective communication to maintain both physical and mental health.
