The "Kumon method" as a means of mastering the initial subject knowledge in children

Introduction. The problem of activating educational activities has always been in the center of attention of teachers, however, the changes taking place at the present time have given it special relevance. New socio-economic conditions dictate the need to study new forms and methods of education aimed at intensifying the process of acquiring knowledge. The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of the Kumon method in relation to the development of initial subject concepts by children of preschool and primary school age from the point of view of the theory of meaningful learning. Materials and methods. The article provides an analysis of the content of the key provisions of the Kumon method based on methods of systematization and classification, as well as general scientific methods of analysis, generalization and synthesis. The support of the idea of L. S. Vygotsky's "zone of proximal development" makes it possible to use rich theoretical material on self-learning as a child's ability to identify and search for information, distinguish and assign it, taking into account the relationship with previously acquired information. Results. The purpose of the study was to study the key characteristics of the organization of training in the Kumon system. The principles, neuropsychological foundations of the method under consideration, and the possibilities of this technology from the perspective of the multidimensionaldevelopment of a child's personality are analyzed. The authors concluded that in modern pedagogical practice, the use of the Kumon method can be effective for children who need to master the procedural aspects of mathematics and reading. Discussion and conclusions. As a research perspective, the authors see the study of the possibilities of the Kumon method as an individual method.

Childhood Traumas and Personality Traits' Impact on Rhinoplasty Decision.

Aesthetic surgeries are increasingly common procedures today, with rhinoplasty being the most frequently performed. The desire for improved appearance is closely linked to an individual's psychological health. It is known that patients seeking rhinoplasty tend to be more anxious and have experienced more negative childhood experiences. However, the impact of personality traits and adverse childhood experiences on the decision to undergo rhinoplasty remains unclear. The study included 256 individuals, consisting of 106 who had undergone rhinoplasty, 46 considering rhinoplasty, and 104 not considering rhinoplasty. All participants completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised Short Form and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Neuroticism increased the likelihood of undergoing rhinoplasty by 16.3%, and this rate rose to 29.3% if a family member had undergone rhinoplasty. Psychoticism increased the likelihood by 15.4%, and the rate increased to 19.1% if no family member had undergone rhinoplasty. Extraversion increased the likelihood by 24.4%, and this rose to 30.9% if a family member had undergone rhinoplasty. Emotional abuse, mediated by neuroticism, increased the likelihood of undergoing rhinoplasty by 5.4%, and this increased to 17.7% if a family member had undergone rhinoplasty. Physical neglect increased the likelihood by 17.9%, and this rate rose to 22% if no family member had undergone rhinoplasty. Our findings indicate that both personality traits and childhood traumas influence the decision to undergo rhinoplasty. These results will serve as an important guide for future research.

Life After Neonatal Seizures: Characterizing the Longitudinal Parent Experience

BackgroundParents of neonates with seizures report persistent symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. We aimed to characterize the parent experience of caring for children impacted by neonatal seizures, including longitudinal assessment across childhood. MethodsThis prospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted at Neonatal Seizure Registry (NSR) sites in partnership with the NSR Parent Advisory Panel. Parents completed surveys at discharge; 12, 18, and 24 months; and 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 years. Surveys included demographic information and open-ended questions targeting parent experience. A conventional content analysis approach was used. ResultsA total of 320 caregivers completed at least one open-ended question, with the majority of respondents at discharge (n = 142), 12 months (n = 169), 18 months (n = 208), and 24 months (n = 245). We identified the following three primary themes. (1) Personal Burden of Care: Parents experienced emotional distress, financial strain, physical demands, and fears for their child's unknown outcome; (2) Managing Day-to-Day Life: Parents described difficulties navigating their parenting role, including managing their child's challenging behaviors and understanding their child's needs amid neurodevelopmental impairment; (3) My Joys as a Parent: Parents valued bonding with their child, being a caregiver, and watching their child's personality grow. ConclusionsParents of children impacted by neonatal seizures face persistent challenges, which are interwoven with the joys of being a parent. Our findings suggest that future interventions should promote resiliency, address caregivers’ psychosocial needs longitudinally, and provide enhanced support for parents caring for children with medical complexity.

Analisis Perilaku Bersosialisasi Anak Di Sekolah Dasar Ditinjau Dari Perbedaan Latar Belakang Keluarga

All children are born in different environments and home environments. But one thing is certain: children need love and guidance to help them thrive in every aspect of their lives. Currently, there are many differences in children's family backgrounds that influence their socialization behavior. The reason behind this is because there are harmonious families, there are also broken homes. In the family, parents in particular play an important role in the development of a child's personality, especially in the child's daily behavior. The aim of this research is to describe children's social behavior when viewed from differences in family background. The research method used in this article is qualitative research, namely descriptive research in the form of describing/exposing the behavioral symptoms of people being observed. Researchers are the main instrument of research carried out at MI Al Awal Palembang for comprehensive data collection. This panel research was carried out in class IV at MI Al Awwal Palembang. The research results show that there are many differences in the social behavior of each child when viewed from family background. We identified two different family backgrounds, namely a harmonious family and a broken home family. So the solution that can be implemented in developing the character and social behavior of children who come from broken homes is that teachers must guide and educate children so that they can change their character from bad habits to good ones, they must try to understand children's feelings and provide advice and considerations as best as possible. Teachers must also try to bring children closer to their friends. The role of peers is no less important, because one of their roles is to provide a source of information and comparison about the world outside the family environment

Childhood trauma, resilience, psychopathology and social functioning in schizophrenia: A network analysis

The affective pathway to psychosis implicates affective symptoms and neuroticism as mediating steps between childhood trauma and symptoms of schizophrenia. Prior research seldom examined the interplay between childhood trauma, resilience, personality, social functioning and symptoms in schizophrenia patients. This study recruited 290 schizophrenia patients, and constructed a regularized partial correlation network of childhood trauma, resilience, big-five personality traits, symptoms and social functioning. We further applied flow diagram and shortest path analysis to clarify how different childhood trauma types would contribute to and reach different symptoms. In the network, emotional and physical abuse showed the highest expected influence, and resilience showed the highest strength. In flow diagrams, all nodes together contributed two-thirds of variance of social functioning (which had highest predictability). Among childhood trauma types, emotional abuse contributed most to positive symptoms; physical neglect contributed most to negative, depressive and disorganized symptoms. Childhood abuse reached positive symptoms via neuroticism and depressive symptoms, yet it reached negative symptoms via physical neglect and social functioning. Childhood neglect reached positive symptoms via resilience, conscientiousness, neuroticism and depressive symptoms, yet it reached negative symptoms via social functioning. Our findings support that different childhood trauma types contribute to different symptoms, and interacts with resilience, personality and social functioning.

Traumatic childhood experiences and personality functioning: effect of body connection in a cross-sectional German and Chilean sample

BackgroundTraumatic childhood experiences are a major risk factor for developing mental disorders later in life. Over the past decade, researchers have begun to investigate the role of early trauma in impairments in personality functioning following the introduction of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders in Section III of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders 5. Although first studies were able to empirically demonstrate a significant link between early trauma and impairments in personality functioning, only little is known about the underlying mechanisms. One possible mechanism is body connection due to its involvement in self-regulatory processes and its link to both early trauma and personality (dys)functioning.ObjectiveIn the current study, we investigated whether body connection, which encompasses the awareness, integration, and utilization of one’s own bodily signals, mediates the relationship between childhood trauma and personality functioning.Participants and settingA total of 1,313 adult participants recruited in Germany and Chile anonymously provided self-report data in an online survey.MethodsSelf-report data included the short form of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-SF), the Scale of Body Connection (SBC), and the brief form of the Levels of Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS-BF 2.0) as well as demographic data (age, sex, education, clinical diagnoses).ResultsTraumatic childhood experiences explained 27.2% of the variance in impairments in personality functioning. Interestingly, 60.5% of this effect was explained by body connection, particularly body dissociation. Additional exploratory analyses revealed that body dissociation and, to a much lesser extent, body awareness, accounted for 64.41% of the variance in self functioning and 55.75% of the variance in interpersonal functioning explained by childhood trauma.ConclusionBody connection appears to be an important mediator in the association between early trauma and impaired personality functioning, underscoring the need for interventions specifically targeting the avoidance and ignorance of signals from one’s own body in individuals with traumatic childhood trauma.

Parenting Patterns and Child Behavior

This study aims to compare the parenting patterns of single and full parents and their impact on child behavior in Sementara, Pantai Cermin Sub-district, Serdang Bedagai Regency, Indonesia. Parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and future. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, the home environment, especially parental parenting, has the greatest influence on child development. This study focuses on three parenting styles: authoritarian, democratic, and permissive. Authoritarian parenting is characterized by strict rules and limited freedom, while democratic parenting prioritizes the child's interests and involves discussions between parents and children. Permissive parenting provides loose supervision and unrestricted freedom for children to behave and act as they wish. Previous studies have shown that single mothers tend to apply authoritarian parenting, resulting in spoiled children with difficulty interacting, while single fathers tend to apply permissive parenting, leading to more independent children who are easier to make friends. Additionally, authoritarian, democratic, and permissive parenting styles have been associated with aggressive behavior in children, obtained through social learning. Democratic parenting has been found to increase children's motivation and achievement at school, while authoritarian parenting inhibits children's socialization skills. This study provides important insights into the impact of parenting patterns on child behavior in the context of single and full parents in Sementara, Indonesia.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adult Marital Adjustment: The Role of Personality Development and Resilience Factors

Marital adjustment is a crucial aspect of family life, profoundly influenced by individuals' mental health and past experiences. This study examines the relationship between childhood maltreatment, personality development, and adult marital adjustment. A sample of 385 individuals aged 25 to 40 participated, with data collected through convenience sampling. Utilizing tools such as the Big Five-Personality Inventory (BFI-10), JVQ-R2, Screener Sum Version, Adult Retrospective Form, and Marital Adjustment Test (MAT), the study sought to replicate previous findings regarding the impact of adverse childhood experiences on adult mental health. Results indicate a significant association between childhood maltreatment and adult mental health, with implications for marital adjustment. Specifically, individuals reporting childhood maltreatment exhibited greater difficulties in marital adjustment. Furthermore, personality traits were found to be shaped by childhood experiences, with notable correlations observed. Neuroticism demonstrated a negative correlation with marital adjustment, whereas extraversion, openness, and loyalty exhibited positive associations. These findings underscore the complex interplay between early-life experiences, personality development, and adult relationship functioning. Understanding these dynamics can inform interventions aimed at promoting healthy marital adjustment and mitigating the adverse effects of childhood maltreatment on adult mental health.

Studies have revealed that Children's psychological, behavioral, and emotional problems are easily influenced by the family environment. In recent years, the family structure in China has undergone significant changes, with more families having two or three children. To explore the relationship between emotional behavior and parental job stress in only preschool and non-only preschool children. Children aged 3-6 in kindergartens in four main urban areas of Shijiazhuang were selected by stratified sampling for a questionnaire and divided into only and non-only child groups. Their emotional behaviors and parental pressure were compared. Only and non-only children were paired in a 1:1 ratio by class and age (difference less than or equal to 6 months), and the matched data were compared. The relationship between children's emotional behavior and parents' job stress before and after matching was analyzed. Before matching, the mother's occupation, children's personality characteristics, and children's rearing patterns differed between the groups (P < 0.05). After matching 550 pairs, differences in the children's parenting styles remained. There were significant differences in children's gender and parents' attitudes toward children between the two groups. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) scores of children in the only child group and the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) scores of parents were significantly lower than those in the non-only child group (P < 0.05). Pearson's correlation analysis showed that after matching, there was a positive correlation between children's parenting style and parents' attitudes toward their children (r = 0.096, P < 0.01), and the PSI-SF score was positively correlated with children's gender, parents' attitudes toward their children, and SDQ scores (r = 0.077, 0.193, 0.172, 0.222). Preschool children's emotional behavior and parental pressure were significantly higher in multi-child families. Parental pressure in differently structured families was associated with many factors, and preschool children's emotional behavior was positively correlated with parental pressure.

FACTORS INFLUENCING PARAPHILIA DEVELOPMENT: A REVIEW OF CURRENT METHODOLOGIES AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS – REVIEW ARTICLE

This review addresses the role of childhood experiences in the development of paraphilias, a topic insufficiently explored in current research. It proposes the examination of the influence of attachment styles and boundary-setting with parents and caregivers on the onset of paraphilic behaviors, as highlighted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). By broadening the scope of research on the etiology of paraphilias, this review aims to identify a wider range of causal factors, ultimately aiding in the creation of more accurate treatment plans. Key studies reviewed include "Childhood Abuse and Sadomasochism" by Abrams et al. (2022) and "The Impact of Childhood Trauma, Personality, and Sexuality on the Development of Paraphilias" by Longpré et al. (2022).
