Abstract

One often overlooked factor causing stunting is picky eater behavior in children. This behavior leads 
children to tend to choose certain foods and reject nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits, and protein. 
Through an emotional and practical approach, the Emotional Demonstration (Emo-Demo) method can 
create a positive long-term impact. This educational activity using the Emo-Demo method aims to increase 
knowledge and skills in providing healthy and nutritious food for children. The activity was conducted at 
Posyandu Melati 2, Jambesari Village, Jambesari Darus Sholah Subdistrict, Bondowoso Regency. The 
target participants were 8 mothers of toddlers. Effectiveness evaluation was carried out through pre-test 
and post-test measurements, which showed an increase in participants' understanding of picky eater 
behavior as a risk factor for stunting. The Emo-Demo method proved effective, as reflected by a 75% 
increase in knowledge, indicating a positive impact of health promotion in improving mothers' knowledge. 
The Emotional Demonstration (Emo-Demo) method is effective in increasing the knowledge of mothers of 
toddlers regarding picky eater behavior and its relation to stunting incidence.
