Toddlers are the successors of our future, toddlers also determine the future of the nation, healthy toddlers will make smart toddlers. Toddlers are one of the age groups that are prone to disease if they lack food and nutrition. Nutrition Awareness Family (KADARZI) can be defined as a family in which all family members perform balanced nutrition behavior, able to recognize health and nutritional problems for each family member. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of energy and protein consumption of children under five and the behavior of nutritionally conscious families with the incidence of stunting. The research method used is a quantitative cross-sectional approach and qualitative methods are used to strengthen the findings. The results obtained are that the consumption of diverse foods is the most dominant factor, which has a 13.175 times chance of reducing the incidence of stunting in children under five than not providing diverse foods. The conclusion of this study is that statistically the factor that can reduce the incidence of stunting in children under five is the provision of various foods.
