The Child Friendly Cities Initiative-Minneapolis Model.

The Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) is a UNICEF framework based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). CFCI was launched globally in 1996 to protect children's rights throughout the world. There are child friendly cities in over 44 countries around the globe, but none presently in the United States. The purpose was to establish a Child Friendly City in the United States. Child friendly cities are a child-rights and equity-based approach designed to ensure all children in a community reach their full potential for optimal health, development, and well-being. The paper discusses the development of the guiding principles of the CFCI-Minneapolis Model as well as a community needs assessment. The assessment consisted of a digital survey of 60 questions on the SurveyMonkey platform. The sample included 173 Minneapolis youth 10-18 years of age and 85 parents with children less than five years of age. The participants were drawn from four of the 83 Minneapolis neighborhoods that had the highest concentration of children and youth, communities of color, and immigrant families that have historically been under resourced. The results of the community assessment guided the development of four programmatic initiatives. These included child rights learning & awareness, emergency preparedness & planning, community safety, and youth participation in decision making. The paper concludes with the lesson learned to date in the implementation of the CFCI-Minneapolis Model. These include partnership, dedication, leadership, community engagement, coalition building, and celebrating success. CFCI-Minneapolis received full designation from UNICEF USA as a child friendly city in February 2024.

Mid-Day Meals Programs in the School of Pokhara through Child Friendly School Manual

This study, titled “Assessing School Mid-Day Meals Programs in the Schools of Pokhara through Child-Friendly School Manual,” aimed to identify modalities and assess school facilities related to mid-day meals in both institutional and public schools. The research design employed was explanatory sequential. The population comprised schools, headmasters, and class five students, and a multistage sampling technique was utilized. Five diverse schools each from institutional (preprimary, primary, upper primary, secondary, and higher secondary) and public schools were randomly selected for comparison. During data collection, students were assured that their responses would be confidential, and teachers were not present in the classrooms to encourage free expression of opinions. The findings revealed that more than half of the students in institutional schools carried homemade lunches, while public schools provided meals in canteens. Observations indicated that insufficient seating in canteens resulted in students having to eat meals on the ground or in classrooms. Moreover, many schools lacked soap in wash bins, potentially impacting students’ hygiene, and health. It is recommended to improve school facilities related to mid-day meals in accordance with child-friendly school guidelines.

Cat owners’ anthropomorphic perceptions of feline emotions and interpretation of photographs

BackgroundMany cat owners describe the relationship with their cat in anthropomorphic terms like child or best friend. Attributing such human social roles to cats might influence the interpretation of cat behavior and communicative cues. MethodOver 1800 Dutch cat owners filled out an online survey concerning the relationship with, and behavior of, their own cat and beliefs about the emotional lives of cats in general. Owners were also presented with seven photographs of cats (four with reliable cues to identify an emotion and three neutral ones). Results52 % of the respondents described the relationship with their cat in human terms such as family member (52 %), as a child (27 %) or as best friend (6 %) while 14 % described their cat as a pet animal. Owners who described the relationship with their cat in human terms, more often a) assigned complex social emotions (such as jealousy and compassion) to cats and b) assigned emotions to neutral photographs. Owners with a realistic perception of cat emotions were better at correctly identifying the emotional photographs. Moreover, owners that attributed complex social emotions to cats in general had a higher tendency to attribute emotions to the neutral photographs. ConclusionOur study shows that the correct interpretation of feline emotional cues from photographs are negatively associated with owners’ anthropomorphic perception of cats. This study highlights the importance of educating owners about natural cat behavior and realistic views of the emotional life of (their) cats.

This research aims to determine the skills of PAUD teachers and prospective teachers in managing classes to anticipate bullying behavior in PAUD institutions through the implementation of the Child Friendly Class Management Model (MKRA). This research uses quantitative descriptive methods with survey techniques for PAUD teachers and classroom action research (PTK) for prospective PAUD teachers with data collection techniques using questionnaires, tests and observations. The sample in this study was 115 teachers who taught at non-formal PAUD institutions in Pulo Gadung District and 20 prospective teachers in the PG-PAUD FIP UNJ undergraduate study program. The research results show that teachers who have the ability to manage the classroom are in the quite good category at 60.80%. Meanwhile, the teacher's ability to anticipate child bullying in the classroom is 64.30%. These results illustrate that there are still many teachers who are unable to manage the classroom to anticipate children's bullying, which is characterized by the lack of teachers in recognizing the forms and characteristics of children's bullying, as well as the learning methods used. The results of classroom action research (PTK) show an increase in the ability of prospective teachers to manage the classroom from initial conditions of 50% to 70% in cycle 1 and 95% in cycle 2, which proves that the Child-Friendly Classroom Management Model (MKRA) can help improve competency managing classes for prospective PAUD teachers.

Analyzing physical environment of Child Friendly Spaces in emergencies: in the context of Rohingya crisis at Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

Purpose Child friendly space (CFS) has been introduced worldwide as an effective Child Protection response to the affected children in emergency to restore their life through psychosocial support programs. An effective physical environment is crucial to accommodate the psychosocial activities of a CFS. Several guidelines have stated minimum standards regarding design and implementation of a CFS. However, different case studies show that the physical set-up of CFS varies in different contexts. Therefore, there is a scope to analyze the physical environment of CFSs in the context of Rohingya camps based on those standards. Design/methodology/approach Very few guidelines have solely discussed the criteria of physical design and implementation of a CFS. First, the study develops an assessment tool by sorting out those standards from available sources. Secondly, the study follows multiple case study research approach to assess physical environment of four CFSs in Rohingya camps, Cox’s Bazar based on those standards using direct observation, photographic analysis and key informant interview as survey tools. Findings Major findings reveal that local factors such as topography, availability of land and density have great impact on physical environment on CFSs in Cox’s Bazar beyond the minimum standards, which indicates the importance of considering local factors while designing a CFS for a given context. Originality/value Solely demonstrates the need of considering the benchmarks as well as local factors, which will contribute to the knowledge of policymakers and implementers during designing and implementing a CFS for a specific context.

Komunikasi Antarpribadi untuk Membangun Kedekatan Antara Relawan Komunitas Sahabat Anak Kanker (SAK) Malang dengan Anak Penderita Kanker

<p><em>Pediatric cancer patients often experience side effects from treatment, both physically and psychologically. The impact of this treatment, necessitates special assistance, which can be done through interpersonal communication to provide support for children with cancer. However, previous studies have not focused much on the closeness that ultimately builds on forms of interpersonal communication in the world of health. So, through phenomenological design, this study aims to determine interpersonal communication carried out to build closeness between volunteers of the Malang Cancer Child Friends Community (SAK) with children with cancer. Data collection was conducted by in-depth interviews with six informants who were SAK volunteers. The results of this study show that in general volunteers interpret the purpose of mentoring to build relationships, help, and comfort children with cancer. Meanwhile, in terms of the closeness of volunteers with children with cancer, volunteers interpret closeness based on the intensity of meetings, children's desire to meet volunteers, and volunteers' personal abilities in approaching children. Furthermore, in looking at the characteristics of communication, in general, volunteers recognize differences in terms of physical, psychic, and child maturity. So this condition requires volunteers to be more careful and patient in communicating with children with cancer.</em></p>

Girl Talk and Hold Music

Abstract In this article, the author visits filmmaker Wu Tsang's 2015 short film Girl Talk at the New Museum in New York. The film's documentation of a dance, the author's fieldwork in the museum, and Tsang's cinematography evidence how feminine boyhood and trans girlhood are better supported in the music, conversation, and dance of what the author calls “girlfriend performance.” Against the violence of adult-authored accounts of trans feminine childhood, this article argues that children's friends should tell the story of trans feminine childhood instead. The author examines Tsang's film for its depiction of friendship in queer and trans feminine childhood and develops a transfeminist educational theatre exercise inspired by its repertoire of conviviality—of “girl talk and hold music”—for applied theatre artists, drama educators, and art therapists working with queer and trans youth, specifically feminine boys and transgender girls, and their friends.
