ANALISIS PERTUMBUHAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN ANAK USIA DINI

Abstract

The growth and development of early childhood changes along with nutritional intake and developmental simulations provided. Therefore, growth measurement and detection of development in early childhood needs to be done and analyzed so that if found there are obstacles in the growth and development of children can be immediately overcome through the fulfillment of balanced nutrition, intensive examination and treatment, and stimulation according to the needs of children. Early childhood education teachers who do not understand how to analyze nutritional status and child development examination results will experience obstacles when determining appropriate stimulation for each child and will have an impact on the quality of play activities designed in paud units because basically, if paud teachers are able to analyze the growth and development of children, the play program designed in the Early childhood education unit will be based on analysis results so that early childhood is stimulated according to their needs.  growth and development. The method used in this study is a literature review, reviewing the literature on the analysis of early childhood growth and development. Paud teachers should have the ability to make analysis of growth measurements and developmental observations on child development in order to be able to determine appropriate interventions for each child. Child growth analysis includes a child's nutritional status based on weight according to age, length or height according to age, length or height according to weight, body mass index according to age, and head circumference. Through this study, it is hoped that Early childhood education teachers will be able to understand how to analyze the nutritional status of children so that they can provide growth and development stimulation that is appropriate for the child's age.
