Abstract: (632 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to explore caregiver practices for optimizing toddlers’ healthy growth and development.
Participants & Methods: This qualitative research was done using an explanatory case study design. Qualitative exploration was conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 19 parent participants selected via purposive sampling. All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcriptions were screened for relevant information, manually coded, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Findings: Five themes related to caregiving practices emerged, including the fulfillment of children’s health requirements, the provision of sufficient nutrition, responsive parenting, ensuring safety and security, and offering early learning opportunities.
Conclusion: Comprehensive support for optimizing the growth and development of stunted children requires collaboration among parents, family members, health centers, government initiatives, community organizations, and professionals in the health, education, and social sectors.
