Introduction: Malnutrition during the first 1000 days of life, spanning from conception to two years old, poses a risk of enduring health issues, impacting both short-term and long-term well-being. Based on the Indonesian Toddler Nutrition Surveillance Status in 2021, the stunting prevalence rate in North Sumatra is estimated to be at 25.8 percent. Therefore, this research aimed to explore the benefits of child growth charts to make it easier for mothers to detect growth among toddlers aged 0-2 years. The Compass Model would motivate parents to consistently monitor the nutritional status of children in line with age to avoid stunting. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative methods were used, while the sample consisted of 257 individuals. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with lecturers and pediatricians as experts. Results: The results showed that the validity and reliability tests yielded significantly positive outcomes. Based on the interviews with pediatricians and lecturers, misunderstanding often leads to a lack of awareness among mothers regarding the growth and development of children. Conclusion: The Compass Model was found to be helpful as a new tool for mothers to monitor the growth of children. This was attributed to its ease of use and user-friendliness for midwives and mothers who could read the result of the change.
