The Effect Of Bounding Card On Maternal Motivation In Providing Stimulation For Toddlers Aged 6–24 Months At Home In Ciwaruga Village, 2025

Child development should be stimulated, particularly between the ages of six and twenty-four months, which is considered to be the "golden period" of brain development. On the other hand, the engagement of mothers is often poor since these moms have inadequate drive and there is a shortage of appealing educational media. Many people believe that the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Handbook is not applicable in real life. Bounding cards provide an option that is both more visually appealing and more relevant.The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact that they have on the motivation of moms to give stimulation. Between the months of November 2024 and May 2025, a total of 32 moms with toddlers participated in the study, which used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design.In the intervention, Boundary cards were utilized for a period of one month, and then an assessment was conducted using a questionnaire that was both valid and reliable. According to the findings, fifty percent of moms exhibited a lack of positive motivation before to the session, however that number rose to seventy-eight percent following the intervention. An analysis conducted using McNemar revealed a p-value of 0.004 (p < 0.05). It is possible to draw the conclusion that border cards are a good way to improve the motivation of moms to excite their infants.
