Internalization Strategy of Religious and Moral Values for Early Childhood

This study seeks to identify ways for the internalization of religious ideals and morals in early life. This study employs a literature review methodology, which entails the critical analysis of data obtained from various literary materials, including novels, journals, and scientific publications. The study's findings demonstrate that Islamic teachings regard early childhood education as a crucial element in cultivating robust religious ethics and ideals. In this context, eleven successful tactics have been found, including fostering a sense of love for Allah, establishing a sense of security, and promoting environmental observation. These tactics, grounded in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and endorsed by Muslim authorities, can be executed by educators and parents. The surrounding environment, including family and classmates, significantly influences the development of children's character. A holistic approach encompasses a concealed curriculum that reinforces religious beliefs and ethics in early life via exemplification, appreciation for diversity, environmental stewardship within schools, and disciplinary practices that align with the moral objectives of education.

Domesticating American serial characters in European children’s comics magazines: the case of Corriere dei Piccoli in the 1910s

ABSTRACT This article explores the profound impact of American newspaper comics on the development of Italian comics by examining their transformative influence on the Italian children’s magazine, Corriere dei Piccoli. Focusing on the creative endeavours of Italian artists Attilio Mussino and Antonio Rubino, who drew inspiration from iconic American comic characters, this article illuminates their artistic adaptations. In 1911, Mussino crafted Gigi & Gigetta, copying Johnny Gruelle’s Mr. Twee Deedle (1910–1918), while Rubino conceived the series Cirillo, imitating George McManus’s The Newlyweds series. This exploration not only scrutinises the localised iterations of The Newlyweds and Mr. Twee Deedle within Corriere dei Piccoli but also delves into the distinctive Italian avatars created by these artists. Employing Casey Brienza’s concept of domestication as a nuanced, multidirectional process, I contend that the Italian artists actively contributed as cultural producers, transcending a simple one-way importation of creative material. The repurposing and recreation of these American influences underscore the intricate nature of cultural exchange, emphasising the agency and significance of Italian artists in shaping a new media format for children: the children’s comics magazine.

Review: Storying Plants in Australian Children’s and Young Adult Literature

In lieu of an abstract: In a largely anthropocentric view of history, plants and other non-human beings occupy a position of marginality (Marder). While plants remain central in narratives meant for children and young adults, they serve a subservient role in the storyline which tends to focus on child characters (Höing). Thus, approaching youth literature from the perspective of critical plant studies can provide intriguing insights on how meanings are created and imposed onto the natural world. The 13 essays in the volume provide a comprehensive understanding of colonial, postcolonial, and Indigenous approaches to plants and their representation in Australian youth literature, as well as transnational perspectives from Poland, Ukraine, and Aotearoa New Zealand.

A mother sees her own childhood, innocence, fears, past experiences, adolescence, and love reflected in her daughter. She can always act as her daughter's greatest role model, sharing crucial lessons necessary for thriving and achieving success.

Smile, Sara! and Other Stories: Creating Children’s Picture Books Exploring Emotional Regulation

As the emotional regulation process has already happened since childhood, it is a crucial phase to learn to manage emotions with different strategies. This paper explores emotional regulation strategies performed by children in five children’s picture book stories. The theoretical framework is derived from Emotional Regulation Theory by James Gross. Using antecedent-focused strategies such as situation modification shows better effects than a response modulation strategy such as expressive suppression has negative consequences. As a result of performing expressive suppression strategy, each child character in the stories experiences unpleasant effects such as stress, pessimism, and discomfort with the people around them.

All these lead to better consequences of emotional regulation such as experiencing a happier mood and lower levels of negative mood.

Custody (Hadhanah) Regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia: A Developmental Psychology Perspective on Child Welfare

Custody (Hadhanah) holds great importance, as it is a process that shapes a child's character throughout life. The establishment of the age of discernment (mumayyiz) in Indonesia is stipulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law, while in the state of Selangor, it is defined in the Selangor Islamic Family Law Enactment 2003. One implication of setting the mumayyiz age is that it allows a child to choose to live with one of the parents in the event of a divorce. This study is a type of normative legal research employing a comparative law approach. The legal materials used include primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. Data collection techniques are conducted through a literature review of both print and digital sources, using descriptive analysis and inductive reasoning. The results of this study indicate that the age of discernment, according to the Compilation of Islamic Law, is 12 years, while the Selangor Islamic Family Law Enactment 2003 sets it at 7 years for boys and 9 years for girls. The similarities between these two regulations lie in the division of custody (hadhanah) rights, maintenance obligations, post-maternal care, a child's right to choose, and social conditions. The differences, however, involve the strength of legal basis, the determination of the age of discernment, requirements for the caregiver, safeguarding of a child's assets, and the transfer of custody (hadhanah) rights. Developmental psychology suggests that the ideal age for children to make such a choice, within the range of 7 to 12 years, begins at 12 years, as their cognitive and social development at this age is considered sufficient to make a sound decision.

IMPLEMENTASI TIGA KATA AJAIB BAGI PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER KRISTEN ANAK GENERASI ALPHA

This research aims to describe the three magic words in the character building of Alpha generation children. The reluctance of a child who is lazy to interact with other people in his environment apparently makes the child lose the opportunity to find and grow the character that exists in him.

The three magic words are words that have different meanings, where these three words are needed in building a relationship or relationship with other people in the neighborhood.

Creating “a Little Garden of Our Own”: Constructions of Childhood and Knowledge About Gardening in Frances Burnett’s The Secret Garden (1911) and Arthur Mee’s The Children’s Encyclopaedia (1910)

Although there has been considerable previous scholarship on the garden and what it symbolises in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden (1911), less attention has been paid to the act of gardening itself within the text. The present article reads this popular children’s novel in conjunction with Arthur Mee’s The Children’s Encyclopaedia (1910), which, while well-known in its time, does not have the classic status of The Secret Garden. Drawing on theory about the narrator–narratee relationship in children’s texts, this comparative analysis considers how knowledge about gardening is constructed and narrated in a work of fiction and a work of nonfiction, respectively, particularly in terms of how the child reader is addressed, constructed, and positioned. We investigate how constructions of childhood are linked to the concept of gardening, both mediated through books and the act of reading, and as an activity that children are invited to undertake. Both texts present knowledge about gardening as something which is constructed both through reading and studying and through practical experience. However, while in The Secret Garden, child characters co-construct knowledge more collaboratively, the adult narratee in The Children’s Encyclopaedia more strongly instructs the “young gardener”. The garden in both texts eventually becomes a way to socialise children; however, the act of gardening also allows a temporary freedom from those social roles.
