The results showed that from 80 samples of good parenting (40.0%), sufficient parenting (30.0%) and less (30.0%). A total of (3.8%) samples have more energy consumption, good energy consumption (53.8%), and less energy consumption (42.5%). Some samples have more protein consumption (42.5%), good protein consumption (30.0%), and less protein consumption (27.5%). A small number of samples had more nutritional status (2.5%), good nutritional status (96.2%), and under nutrition status (3.8%). Based on the results of the Pearson Correlation test showed that there was no significant relationship between parenting and the nutritional status of the BB / U indicator (p = 0.062, R = -0.209). There is no significant relationship between energy consumption and nutritional status indicator BB / U (p = 0.623, r = -0.056). There was no significant correlation between protein consumption and the nutritional status of the BB / U indicator       (p = 0.725, r = -0.043).
