Pre-test through measurement of nutritional status of children under five years old. The intervention was given for 8 weeks through a family health task intervention with the FCN model approach in the intervention group, and independent learning through modules in the dick group. Furthermore, a post-test is carried out through the measurement of the nutritional status of children under five years old.
