ABSTRACT Stunting is one of the risk factors that will interfere with child development. Children with stunting have a 2.2 times risk of experiencing developmental disorders, 3.45 times experiencing communication problems, and 1.86 times experiencing delays in gross motor development. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between stunting and the development of gross motor, fine motor, language, and socialization in children aged 0-24 months. This study used a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted in Sukaluyu and Sri Kamulyan villages, Karawang regency. The research respondents were 234 children aged 0-24 months. The specified inclusion criteria are children in good health and KMS/KIA books. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and contingency coefficient. The results showed that 11.97% of respondents were in a stunted category and 14.96% in a very stunted category. The development of children who experience delays includes 32.48% gross motor, 7.26% fine motor, 11.97% language, and 8.97% socialization. The results of the correlation test showed that there was a relationship between height/Age with gross motor skills (p-value 0.053; C 0.886; 95% CI), fine motor skills (p-value 0.001; C 0.258; 95% CI), language (p-value 0.049; C 0.906; 95% CI). The condition of height/age proved to be unrelated to the socialization development of children aged 0-24 months (p-value 0.116; C 0.363; 95% CI). Monitoring and education to posyandu cadres and families are very important so that nutrition stimulation and child development can be carried out as early as possible.
