Thank you so much for your suggestion. it is extremely helpful.

We will use the PR file as the primary source for analysis, merge the mother's information from the KR file onto the PR file, and apply the household weight.

We have one additional question. If we want to estimate the proportion of under-five children who are simultaneously stunted (PR), have mothers not exposed to mass media (merge from KR onto PR), and have been subjected to severe physical punishment (child discipline module in PR), would it still be appropriate to use the household weight? Or should we instead use the child discipline weight, since only under-five children selected for the discipline module constitute the analytic population in this case?
