The role of the family,
especially the mother in raising children, is very important in determining
the growth and development of children. In order for parents to be able to
carry out their functions properly, parents need to understand the level of
child development, assess the growth or development of children, and have a strong
motivation to advance the growth and development of children. The results of
the study on parenting education show that the skills of parents in carrying
out the parenting function are still low Syakrani, 2010 the causes include the
absence of parenting programs, low understanding and awareness of parents
about the importance and influence of motherhood on children's growth and
development, and lack of information about the importance of parenting. child
care. Shochib, 2010 explains that the knowledge and attitudes of parents in
providing parenting to their children are influenced by the lack of
information about ways to achieve a healthy life which can lead to deviations
in parenting patterns for children. This study aims to determine the effect
of parenting education on mothers of infants under five on the knowledge and

Introduction
The role of
the family,especially the mother in raising children, is very important in
determining the growth and development of children. In the period of child
development there is a critical period so that useful stimulation is needed so
that potential can develop. In order for parents to be able to carry out their
functions properly, parents need to understand the level of child development,
assess the growth or development of children, and have a strong motivation to
advance the growth and development of children.
The results of
the study on parenting education show that the skills of parents in carrying
out the parenting function are still low (Sunarsih, 2015). There are several factors that cause this, including the
unpreparedness of prospective parents to foster a family and become parents, no
parenting program, low understanding and awareness of parents about the importance
and influence of motherhood on children's growth and development, low community
commitment, especially the government towards empowerment. family
(institution), and lack of information about the importance of child care.�
This is in
line with research conducted by (Shochib, 2010) that the knowledge and attitudes of parents in providing
parenting to their children are influenced by the lack of information about
ways to achieve a healthy life which can lead to deviations in parenting of
children. The results of the preliminary study that the author conducted
obtained data that 7 out of 10 mothers did not know about good parenting,
tended to apply authoritarian attitudes in parenting, and tended to follow the
parenting pattern of their previous family.
Midwives as
service providers to mothers and children, have a major role in providing
education to mothers and families through the provision of health promotions to
increase mother's knowledge about parenting, so that with sufficient knowledge
mothers and families can ensure that the growth and development of children
takes place optimally.
Based on this
description, the research aims to determine how the influence of Parenting
Education on Mothers of Infants Toddlers on Knowledge and Attitudes of Mothers
of Infants Toddlers about Growth and Development.

Discussion
According to (Mubarak, 2011) knowledge is an
impression in the human mind as a result of using the five senses. Brunner said
that the knowledge process involves three aspects, namely the process of
obtaining information, the process of transformation and the process of
evaluation. The new information obtained is a substitute for previous knowledge.
The transformation process is a process with new tasks. The
evaluation process is carried out by re-examining whether the method of
processing information is adequate.
A person's knowledge is influenced by several factors,
namely: Education, occupation, age, interests, experience, culture, external
environment and information. The ease of obtaining information can accelerate a
person to acquire new knowledge. In this study, mothers were given information
so that mothers quickly gained new knowledge.
Parenting is an ongoing process of interaction between
parents and their children which includes the following activities: nourishing,
guiding, and protecting children as they grow (Brooks & Vokey, 1991). (Tudge et al., 2009) puts pressure on
the family environment as the main ecology of early Childhood development with
parents as the most important socialization agent, but many studies suggest a
shift in parenting patterns.
Research conducted by (Sunarsih, 2015) says that the low
development of children, especially their EQ and ESQ, in Banjar and Madura
ethnic groups is a direct resultants of unhealthy parenting. Research findings,
nutritional problems began to be associated with the important role of
parenting in the family (Engle et al., 1999). The low growth
and development of children is mostly caused by low parenting skills.
Several studies have shown that children who get good
parenting will show good social competence in childhood. Meanwhile, Grosman and
Grosman (Sutcliffe & Lenard, 2002) found that
children with secure attachment qualities from their parents were better able
to handle difficult tasks and did not give up quickly. Parenting patterns have a
significant and positive direct influence on academic achievement,
self-efficacy, and motivation (Abesha, 2012).
Parenting education is one of the most important factors
influencing children's achievement and motivation (Ramachandran et al., 2013). Parenting
education is a general term for various kinds of parental learning opportunities
(Einzig, 1999), to develop
self-awareness, self-confidence, and increase parental capacity (Brown & Barlow, 2005), through
training, support, or education, and the main goal is to influence the
well-being of children's parents (Powell et al., 2002) Parenting education
programs have shown an increase in the quality of several interactions (Cowan, 2011), parenting
competence and stress (Crews & Nixon, 2003) and maternal
depression (Sanders & McFarland, 2000).
Research by Barlow and Stewart-Brown (Atkinson et al., 2002) identified
several situations in which parents could benefit from participating in
parenting training. What parents appreciate most by being involved in training
is the support they get from being around other parents and the opportunity for
them to be themselves in an environment that accepts them as they are. The fact
that the difficulties they face are not only their own, it is also very
empowering and empowering. Parents realize that their care can be shared with
others, they will feel able to reach the resolution of their problems in a
natural way. Many studies show that adults who participate in a number of
programs, become more aware of the behavior and needs of children, and feel
more competent as parents (Jen et al., 1994).
The tendency of parents to completely surrender the formation
of good children's habits to the school, can be seen from several points of
view, including the lack of parental knowledge about how to develop children's
behavior, wrongly choosing the method in developing these behaviors, or parents
feel that schools are more capable of developing these behaviors. shape
children's behavior. Parents who become impatient or force children to achieve
developmental tasks long before the child is ready, will damage the child's
self-esteem and even the child's physical well-being, and vice versa (Steinberg, 2005).
According to (Budiardjo, 2010) Attitude is a
person's feelings, thoughts, and tendencies which are more or less permanent
regarding certain aspects in his environment. This means the attitude shows
approval or disapproval, likes or dislikes someone towards something. Attitude
is not an action or activity but a predisposition to action or behavior.
(Alport, 1954) explains that
attitudes have 3 components, namely beliefs/beliefs, ideas and concepts towards
objects, emotional life or emotional evaluation of objects and tendencies to
act (tend to behave). These three components together form a complete attitude
(total attitude). In determining this complete attitude, knowledge, thoughts,
beliefs and emotions play an important role (Notoatmodjo, 2010).
Attitudes have levels based on their intensity, as follows:
Receiving (receiving); Receiving means that a person or
subject is willing to accept a given stimulus (object).
1. Respond (Responding). Responding means providing answers or
responses to questions or objects at hand.
2. Appreciate (Valuing). A person or subject will give a
positive value to the object or stimulus. Subjects will discuss it with others
and even invite or influence others to respond.
3. Responsibility (Responsible). This is the highest level of attitude.
A person will be responsible for what he has believed.
Parenting education is one of the most important factors
influencing children's achievement and motivation (Ramachandran et al., 2013). Parenting
education programs have shown an increase in the quality of several
interactions (Cowan, 2011), parenting
competence and stress (Rottenberg & Gross, 2003), (Slowdownik D, Lee A, 2008) and maternal
depression (Sanders & McFarland, 2000). social
intervention in the form of parenting education is intended to improve
parenting skills. Without this intervention, bad parenting will still be
considered the right way.
Conclusions
Based on the
results of the study, it can be concluded: (1.) A description of the knowledge
of mothers of infants under five about the growth and development of infants
under five before parenting education the highest level of mother's knowledge
was in the poor category (67.1%), while after attending parenting education the
mother's level of knowledge was in the medium category (60%) and the good
category (40%).
(2.) Before parenting
education, the mother's attitude was mostly in the bad category (64.3%), while
after attending parenting education the mother's attitude was mostly in the
good category (87.1%). (3.) The results of the different test are known as the
Asymp.Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, which means that H0 is rejected.
It can be concluded that there is an influence of parenting education on the
knowledge and attitudes of mothers of infants under five about the growth and
development of infants under five.
