Knowledge parents are correct about the first treatment of seizures and fever at home is needed so that parents can do it proper handling. This Community Service Program aims to provide health education to improve parents' knowledge about first-hand emergency treatment of seizure fever in children. The method used in this community service activity is health education for 15 parents with toddlers. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. Analysis results showed an increase in knowledge among parents about first-hand emergency treatment seizure fever in children from 13 people (86.7%) with poor knowledge and 2 people (13.3%) with sufficient expertise to 15 people (100%) with good knowledge (p-value 0.000 and mean rank 8.00). Next is required ongoing education regarding the first handling of emergency cases that can occur or be experienced at home/ community, as well as evaluation continued. Community service activity programs must be developed using training methods given to parents or local cadres.
