Abstract

Toddlers are a vulnerable group to appetite problems that affect their weight, growth, and development. At this age, children often experience a phase of picky eating influenced by behavioral factors, eating habits, and the family environment. Family-based health education is crucial in improving families' knowledge and skills in addressing this issue. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be provided is Tui Na massage, a traditional massage technique that aims to stimulate digestive function, improve the body's energy circulation, and help increase children's appetite. This activity aims to provide family nursing care to Mr. E, focusing on his 2-year-old child who is experiencing decreased appetite and is underweight. The method used is a family nursing process approach, which includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and physical examinations. The intervention provided included education on the importance of balanced nutrition and training in Tui Na massage. Results indicate improved family knowledge and skills in caring for children, as well as a more positive family response to addressing feeding issues. Family health education using non-pharmacological approaches such as Tui Na massage is an effective strategy in supporting improved nutritional status and child growth and development. It is hoped that all family members will play an active role in the treatment process to achieve optimal results.
