Abstract: National development
aimed at improving human resources. Nutrition is one determinant of the quality
of human resources quality, healthy, intelligent and productive. The prevalence
both in children under five in Indonesia remains high. Children under five are
the most frequent age group suffer from malnutrition and disease-prone, because
of the assumption at this time is the transition from baby food to adult food,
children under five have not been able to fend for himself, including foods,
and usually already have a toddler or younger his mother was working full so
that his attention has been reduced. Effects of malnutrition on mental
development and brain depend on the degree of severity, duration and timing of
brain growth itself. Nutritional problems is a very complex and has a very
broad dimensions, not only about the health aspects but also include social issues,
economics, culture, upbringing, education, environment and behavior. Positive
Deviance understanding can be used to explain the factors that affect growth
and nutritional status is better than children who live in poor neighborhoods
(slums), where most of the other children suffering from stunted growth and
development of the condition of having less nutrition. Positive Deviance learn
why the study of the many infants and young children in an impoverished
community that only a minority of poor nutrition. Habits that benefit the
family as the core of positive Deviance program is divided into four main
categories, namely, providing food, care, cleanliness, and health services. In
Indonesia, positive studies have been conducted by Jauhari Deviance et al (2000)
in Jakarta, Bogor and East Lombok. The result is the interaction of mothers
with children aged 6-17 months was positively related to nutritional status of
children. Children who always strived to eat, get a response when the
chattering, always got a smile from the mother, better nutritional condition
than their peers who received less parental attention.
