Infancy (0-12 months) is the most important period in human development. This is due in this period of brain development and intelligence that will affect adulthood (Winarno, 1990). Developmental disorder is a condition in which the child is not able to achieve the developmental tasks at the expected time. Disorder can occur in many areas of development, for example in motorik, language, social, or think. Based on the UNICEF conceptual framework, there are direct and indirect factors that affect child development (Myers 1990; and 1997 in Hartoyo Hadad et al. 2000).This study aims to determine the relationship of nutrition knowledge of mothers with levels of motorik and mental development of stunted children aged 6 to 12 months in Tanah Datar regency. This study uses a quantitative approach with cross sectional design and qualitative approaches. The samples were stunted children aged 6-12 months as many as 89 people. Sampling was carried out with Multistage Random Sampling technique. Data analysis was performed with a statistical test and Chi square test. The results quantitatively demonstrate an association with maternal nutrition knowledge of motorik and mental development of stunted children with p value 0.02. It is recommended to improve the coordination between the programs in health centers (posyandu), so that health problems, especially problems of child development can be satisfactorily resolved. Besides cross-sector participation as kenagarian, PKK and related agencies in the revitalization posyandu further enhanced, so that posyandu as one of community empowerment efforts can work well.
