Stunting is characterized by a condition of failure to thrive to achieve normal growth by having a body length or height that is less compared to its age due to malnutrition over a long period of time. The prevention and treatment of stunting can be done by increasing the knowledge of mothers who have stunted children so that it does not continue in the next generation. Providing education to mothers can be done using demonstration methods and video playback. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of providing education using demonstration methods and video playback on mothers' knowledge about stunting in Pakatto Village, Gowa Regency. The research method uses quasy experimental with time series design. The research subjects consisted of 34 mothers who had stunted toddlers. Mother's knowledge data regarding stunting was collected using pretest and posttest questionnaires.
