Children constitute the largest proportion of the population in Indonesia at 33.9% (82.6 million). Research in Indonesia shows that 20-30% of children under five experience growth disorders. The target of achieving the MDGs in 2015 has not been achieved, so hard work is needed to achieve this target. Community empowerment needs to be done so that these targets can be achieved. Health cadres are partners who are closer to the community. For this reason, it is necessary to create a quality of life for toddlers, to maintain and detect child development well, so that skilled cadres are needed to screen children.
