Facilitators and Barriers to Understanding and Accepting People with a Sexual Interest in Children: A Thematic Analysis.

The widespread conflation between having a sexual interest in children and engaging in sexually abusive behavior contributes significantly to elevated levels of stigma targeted at people living with a sexual interest in children. Stigmatization and societal punitiveness surrounding people living with these interests can impact their well-being, obstruct help-seeking, and potentially increase risk of offending behavior. Recent quantitative research employing stigma intervention strategies has produced encouraging results in reducing stigmatizing attitudes toward this population. The current study sought to expand on quantitative research findings to explore qualitatively the facilitators and barriers to understanding and accepting people living with sexual interest in children. Thirty participants were interviewed following completion of an online stigma intervention study. Participants were asked about their attitudinal responses to the earlier study and how personal and professional experiences contributed to shaping their attitudes surrounding people living with a sexual interest in children. Reflexive inductive thematic analysis was used to explore what factors promote understanding and what factors act as barriers to understanding people with sexual interest in children. The significance of experiences which challenged the dominant social narrative was identified across several themes which facilitated understanding and acceptance of people who have a sexual interest in children. Themes which reflected barriers to understanding included difficulty comprehending alternate narratives, parental concern, and reinforcement of current stereotypes. Implications for developing stigma-reduction interventions and future research are discussed.

THE ROLE OF SCHOOL LITERACY MOVEMENT (SLM) IN INCREASING STUDENT INTEREST IN READING: A LITERATURE REVIEW

This study was prompted by students' lack of interest in reading and literacy abilities in Indonesia. In 2015, Indonesia ranked 62 out of 76 countries in the PISA survey. The government created the School Literacy Movement (SLM) program in 2016, in response to students' low literacy scores and reading interest. The government expects that this program will increase reading enthusiasm in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the SLM on students' reading interest. The method utilized is a literature research or review. A literature study is a research design used to collect data sources on a certain topic. As the stage of searching for literary sources, data collecting for the study of literature is carried out using a database search tool.

As a result, it can be inferred that SLM has a role in enhancing children's interest in reading through various school-based programs and activities.

Certainly of Divorce Laws in Different Countries Base on Indonesian International Civil Law

Recognition and implementation of the divorce decision. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the principles of private international law is essential to navigate these complex legal challenges. Principles such as lex loci celebrationis, lex domicilii, and the principle of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments serve as guidelines in handling inter-country divorce cases. Court jurisdiction, the choice of applicable law, and the process of recognizing and implementing divorce decisions between countries are important focal points in legal settlements. International divorce, especially involving spouses of different nationalities, raises a number of complex issues. From determining jurisdiction to choosing the applicable law, every step in the divorce process requires careful consideration. In this context, several international treaties, such as the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Divorce, provide a uniform legal framework for dealing with such divorce cases.
 In addition, the importance of recognizing and enforcing foreign divorce judgments in other jurisdictions is an important factor in preventing multiple divorces and providing legal certainty. This process involves coordination between countries to respect and recognize foreign court decisions. Protecting children's rights in interstate divorce is an important focus, with jurisdictional determination and appropriate application of the law to ensure the child's best interests are safeguarded. An in-depth understanding of international private law, especially in the context of divorce from different countries, is the key to ensuring justice and legal certainty for all parties involved.
 In handling inter-country divorce cases in Indonesia, especially those involving couples with different nationalities, it is important to pay attention to national legal regulations, applicable laws and regulations, and guidelines from relevant international conventions. The divorce process in Indonesia, as explained in Article 66 of the Marriage Law, must follow the applicable national laws and regulations. This research, using normative juridical methods, provides in-depth insight into how international private law is applied in inter-state divorce cases in Indonesia. By exploring the principles of private international law and examining expert views, this research discusses the legal complexities involving marriage between countries and contributes to further understanding of legal certainty in this context. Overall, interstate divorce opens up a broad discussion of private international law issues, including jurisdiction, choice of law, recognition, and protection of children's rights. With increasing human mobility and globalization, a deep understanding of the principles of international private law is becoming increasingly important in dealing with marriages and divorces from different countries.

The Role of Financial Literacy in Developing Financial Management Skills in Early Children

EMPOWERMENT OF TRADITIONAL SPORTS IN LOWER GRADE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN BANJAR REGENCY

This article describes a national culture that is spread throughout the country and is slowly disappearing and is difficult to find in schools. This occurs as a result of developments in increasingly modern times, so that students are slowly switching from traditional games to modern games in the form of online games. This research was carried out at the Tambak Sirang Baru State Elementary School, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. The aim of this research is to introduce and socialize traditional games, especially Gobak Sodor.The research method is a quantitative experimental approach type one group pretest-posttest with a sample consisting of 10 grade 1 students. The research instrument is a questionnaire using the Guttman scale to measure participants' knowledge of traditional games before and after socialization. The research results showed that participants' understanding and interest in traditional games increased after socialization. Data analysis using percentages showed that the majority of participants had low knowledge (40-55%) 3 students or very low (0-40%) 5 students recognized traditional games before socialization. The improvement seen after socialization, most participants obtained a very high level of knowledge (85-100%) 5 students out of 10 students and very low (0-40%) none. Therefore, it is hoped that activities supporting traditional games such as Gobak Sodor can be a solution to revitalize children's interest and understanding of Indonesia's cultural heritage. This article states that in the context of PJOK learning, traditional games not only teach physical aspects but also build values, culture and cooperative strategies in group activities. From the results of this research, it is hoped that traditional games will become an effective educational tool for developing the physical, social and skill aspects of modern children.

Children after war: From moral development claims to welfare and agency rights

AbstractWithin a framework of rights that protects children's interests and seek to balance their developing interests in welfare and agency, I consider how contexts of war impact children's lives to argue that such contexts provide opportunities to advance or set back both the development of moral powers, namely capacities for a sense of justice and a conception of the good, and capacities for autonomy. Besides an interest in satisfying their basic needs and protection, children have an interest in developing their moral powers and growing into autonomous agents. Evidence shows great variation in children's responses to traumatic circumstances, from severe psychological disorders to enhanced resiliency and moral reasoning. As moral powers and autonomy ground the permissibility for paternalistic treatment and the exclusion of children from certain rights, I argue that once the war is over children are entitled to an adequate assessment of how their interests and capacities have changed. For children whose development was set back, states should grant opportunities for recovery and further development, which suggests strengthening welfare and protection rights; while for children whose development was advanced, states should recognize such advancement and grant opportunities for the exercise of their newfound capacities, which suggests granting certain agency rights alongside welfare and protection.

‘Adoption is Kinda Hard and Kinda Cool’: Residential care children's views on adoption and preparation for adoption

AbstractPreparing children for adoption is one of the major goals of the child welfare system. Research on adoption preparation has mainly focused on the perspective of adults, and studies addressing the views of children eligible for adoption are meagre. This study aimed to contribute to filling this gap by exploring the child's perspective on adoption and preparation for adoption. Twenty children aged 9–13 years old (seven girls) and living in residential care institutions, participated in three semi‐structured focus group interviews. Thematic analysis of the data revealed three major themes: understanding of adoption, challenges associated with adoption and preparation and other factors that facilitate adoption. The results suggest that children perceive adoption as an opportunity for a better life that involves challenges such as navigating ambivalence, distancing from biological parents and anticipated risks. Preparation for adoption is key to overcome the expected difficulties. We discussed these results considering the importance of prioritizing children's best interests and exploring practical applications of incorporating their perspectives in adoption preparation. Addressing the views of children eligible for adoption may contribute to promoting the quality of child‐centred care in adoption preparation practices.

Rare, but potentially risky, high individual increase of self-reported sexual arousal in men, who have committed sexual offenses against children, while being confronted with experimental sexual stimuli — a retrospective data analysis

AbstractThis data analysis was initiated to further understand the infrequent yet intense instances of sexual arousal and signs of decompensation that emerge after exposing men who have committed sexual offenses against children to experimental sexual stimuli. We analyzed retrospectively and exploratory data of a self-developed sexual arousal questionnaire (“Current-State-of-Emotions-Questionnaire”, CSEQ) with the following objectives: (i) examine subjective sexual arousal changes elicited during confrontation with experimental sexual stimuli, (ii) analyze these sexual arousal changes at an individual level to detect large responses, and (iii) ask for associations between large responses in sexual arousal and individual characteristics of participants, e.g., demographic, clinical, and criminological parameters. The sample consisted of 241 adult, male Germans, comprising four groups: Ten individuals who have committed sexual offenses against children and have been placed in forensic psychiatric facilities (ISOCFP), 31 non-hospitalized individuals with sexual interest in children (ISIC), eight individuals who have committed other offenses and have been placed in forensic psychiatric facilities (IOFP), and 192 individuals without sexual interest in children and offense histories (IWO). We found a significant increase in subjective sexual arousal after confrontation with sexual stimuli (three experiments: initial orientation: Z = −4.819, p < .001, sexual distractor task: Z = −2.954, p = .003, stimulus rating: Z = −6.899, p < .001). Up to 14.3% of participants indicated high sexual arousal values before, but mainly after the experiments, with 20.0% of ISOCFP, 12.9% of ISIC, 12.5% of IOFP, and 14.6% of IWO. ISOCFP and ISIC with high sexual arousal were more likely to be diagnosed with paraphilia (pedophilia) and/or affective disorders, and to receive anti-depressive treatment. We assume a higher emotional lability or/and reduced emotion regulation abilities in those individuals. A careful weighing up of anticipated scientific knowledge gain and a potentially, though rare, increased risk of recidivism or decompensation seems indispensable.

How should we decide how to treat the child: harm versus best interests in cases of disagreement.

Where parents seek treatment for their young child that healthcare professionals cannot agree to, the High Court can determine what is in the child's best interests. Some activists and academics seek change to impose threshold criteria that would bolster the decision-making rights of parents and reduce deference to clinicians and the courts. We defend the best interests standard against arguments that a higher threshold of 'significant harm' should apply. We do so from ethical, legal, and clinical perspectives. The matter is of significant moral and practical importance, especially in light of the divergence of academic opinion, the burgeoning number of cases coming before the courts and recent case law and statutory attempts to effect change. We begin by disputing ethical claims that a significant harm threshold is preferable to the best interests standard, and then we set out jurisprudential and practical arguments that demonstrate the imprudence of a significant harm threshold and defend the established yardstick of best interests.
