Data collected using children growth chart and questionnaire was used in the project. Obtained data was analyzed by SPSS software and nonparametric statistical tests. Findings: The results showed significant differences between two groups in following items; mean of maternal self-esteem (p< 0.001), maternal performance in training others (p=0.006), weekly study time (p=0.004), frequency of mothers participation in education programs (p=0.002), their knowledge about the growth monitoring card (p=0.03),their ability in drawing growth curves (p< 0.001), Mothers knowledge about types of growth curves (p=0.001)and the objectives of growth monitoring (p< 0.001).
