 Abstract. Growth disorders with short stature and stunting involve comparing a child's height with a reference group or with his own height over time. To identify any of the conditions in infants and toddlers, parents should focus on examining accurate measurements of length/height and weight and weight gain based on WHO standards from birth to 2 years. This activity is a community service carried out with a descriptive approach. Community service is carried out at one of the fostered Posyandu in the working area of the Abeli Public Health Center, Kendari City, with a duration of 60 minutes for 2 days. Results in the final evaluation were that the participants had a good understanding of preventive measures and early detection of short stature and stunting underfives through the MTBS approach and were able to practice proper height and weight measurements for underfives to detect short stature and stunting. Community service activities regarding prevention and early detection of short stature and stunting toddlers through the MTBS approach to toddlers are urgently needed, especially to improve toddler mothers, this is because mothers are the closest people to toddlers
