 STRATEGI FOR OPTIMIZING
QUALITY OF
CHILD GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT

• Direct to the infant and child

• Indirect : improving quality of family,

especially mother, father and adolescence
girl

07/01/21
 Improving quality of mother, father
and adolescens girl
1. Improving nutritional status of mother and adolescence
girl: chronic malnutrition, Fe deffiency Anemia Iodium
defficiency
2. Improving educational status mother, father and
adolescen girl : reading for health information and its
application

3. Improving knowledge and skill mother, father and

adolescen girl on :
a. FAMILY PLANNING : pregnant >21 year < 35 year,
spacing for 2 – 3 years, number of child < 3 ,
b. MATERNAL HEALTH : prevention for anemia,
malnutrition, infection
07/01/21
 c. PREGNANCY CARE : prevention for anemia,
malnutrition, imunization, early identification of bleeding,
toxemia, infection
d. SAFE DELIVERY : especially for high risk mother
(chronic malnourish, anemia, too young or too old, too short,
too short spacing, too frequent, delayed care)
e. INFANT and CHILD CARE : perinatal care,
umbilical, MM, immunization, infant feeding, prevention for
infection, accident, early identification for ARTI, diarrhoea,
malnutrtion

f. EARLY STIMULATION for COGNITIVE and

EMOTION-SOCIAL : playing, BKB, PADU / Early Child
Education
.
07/01/21
 g. HYGIENE & SANITATION : washing hand
before handle baby, safe water, disposal, safe cooking,
feeding, home ventilatioan

4. Improving knowlegde mother, father and adolescence
