In this middle income\ncountry, unhealthy eating patterns are one of the major causes for impaired\ngrowth among children. In the poorer neighborhoods that we work with, it is not\nuncommon that children don\u2019t eat fruits and vegetables, and consume instant\nnoodles, deep-fried snacks, or sugary drinks multiple times per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to the need to fight unnecessary\nstunting among children, we proposed a new series of training, focusing on the\nbasics of nutrition, to the teachers and parents of the two public\nkindergartens we had been partnering with in the past two years. Because of the\nencouraging results of the parenting classes offered in the end of 2019, the\nheads of the kindergartens and the parents made special contributions to allow\nthe new training to take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help change eating patterns, we offered\nan experiential learning to parents concerning the need of a balanced diet. In\nthe workshops, we shared not only the functions and benefits of each major food\ngroups, we also invited participants to prepare simple and nutritious dishes in\nclass using affordable ingredients bought in the local market. Parents,\nteachers and children were happy to learn and share food together. Even the\nlocal district official came to join us in some of the sessions.&nbsp; The training is still ongoing and we hope to\nmeasure in detail the impact of our training in the near future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YPP Jakarta is proud to address critical\nhealth needs among impoverished communities rarely cared for in one of the most\ndensely populated cities in the world. We are creating trainings that address\nlocal needs in context, and hope to develop more partnerships to strengthen our\nreach to more underprivileged families. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to UNICEF Indonesia, around one in three Indonesian children under the age of five were stunted in 2019.
