Abstract
Balanced nutrition is very important to provide from the early stages of life because it can influence good physical and mental development and health in the future. For toddlers, more serious efforts are needed to achieve balanced nutrition so that it is useful for improving the early stages of toddlers lives. The Indonesian government has created the Keluarga Sadar Gizi (KADARZI) program to reduce nutritional problems in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between maternal education and knowledge in nutritionally conscious family behavior among toddlers in Batu City. This research is a quantitative research with an observational type of research with a cross sectional design. This research observed that subjects were observed only once when collecting data on the relationship between maternal education and knowledge in implementing nutritionally conscious families simultaneously. The sampling technique for this research uses a simple random sampling technique, namely a sampling technique that is carried out randomly and comes from an existing population by paying attention to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Based on the output results obtained, the significance value of the Pearson Chi Square Test in the knowledge category was 0.004. Because the significance value is less than the alpha value (<0.05), H0 is rejected, this shows that there is a relationship between maternal education and maternal knowledge regarding Nutrition Aware Family behavior.
