Gaps in Parental Understanding of Sleep Disturbances During Maintenance Therapy for Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in childhood, with survival rates approaching 90%. Sleep disturbance is common among ALL patients, often developing during the initial stages of chemotherapy treatment. While there have been significant efforts to understand and intervene in this issue during survivorship, there is far less research on children who are actively receiving treatment. In the current study, we sought to better understand the parent's experience in the sleep domain during maintenance therapy, including their perceptions of how their child's medical team had managed sleep disturbances, and recommendations for how to improve sleep management. Method: Fifteen parents of pediatric ALL patients (aged 4-12 years) completed semistructured interviews. Interview content was analyzed using a multistage thematic analysis. Results: Parents consistently expressed feeling unprepared to manage the sleep disruptions that arose during treatment, often reporting that they did not recall being told this would be a side effect. They were enthusiastic about learning how to improve their child's sleep, though they did not want pharmacotherapeutic interventions or additional medical/psychosocial appointments to address this. Conclusion: Despite consistent provider communication on sleep, parents report limited knowledge of the issue. This provides an obvious intervention target to improve treatment-related sleep disturbances. Clear messaging may help direct parents' attention and expectations regarding their child's treatment and potential for disturbed sleep, possibly in the form of a behavioral intervention that empowers parents with information about how to support their child's sleep health while they are undergoing treatment for ALL.

The Relationship between Democratic Parenting Style and School Readiness among First-grade Students

This quantitative study investigates the relationship between democratic parenting style and school readiness among first-grade students at SD Negeri Sidokare 2 Sidoarjo. The research aims to examine whether a correlation exists between the two variables. Data were collected through questionnaires and the Nijmeegse Schoolbekwaamheids Test (NST). The sample comprised 66 students selected using accidental sampling. The data analysis involved Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient in SPSS 26.0. The results indicate a significant positive correlation (rxy = 0.662, p = 0.000) between democratic parenting style and school readiness. Higher levels of democratic parenting style correspond to higher levels of school readiness among first-grade students. These findings imply that parents who adopt a democratic parenting style contribute to their children's preparedness for elementary school. The study suggests that schools provide training on the importance of parenting styles, particularly democratic parenting, to foster children's potential as they enter elementary school. Highlight: Positive correlation: The study reveals a significant positive correlation (rxy = 0.662, p = 0.000) between democratic parenting style and school readiness among first-grade students. Impact of democratic parenting: Higher levels of democratic parenting style are associated with higher levels of school readiness among children entering elementary school. Implications for schools and parents: The findings emphasize the importance of implementing democratic parenting styles to foster children's readiness for school. Schools should provide training to parents on the benefits of democratic parenting to optimize children's potential as they transition to elementary school.

Children's evaluations of and reactions to racial discrimination.

Despite the potential benefits of children's confrontations of other children's racial biases-especially for targets of bias-little is known about how young children react upon observing instances of racial discrimination. In the present research, child participants completed a novel measure designed to test their reactions to another child's racially discriminatory behavior. The measure presented scenarios in which a protagonist who matched the participant's race (Asian, Latinx, or White) repeatedly excluded Black children from different social activities. Participants evaluated the protagonist's behavior and had an opportunity to confront the protagonist. Both a pilot study and a full preregistered study revealed that the novel measure had high reliability within participants and substantial variability across participants (pilot study: N = 54 U.S. White 5-7-year-olds, 27 girls, 27 boys, median household income range of $125,001-$150,000; full study: N = 126 U.S. 4-10-year-olds, 33.33% Asian, 33.33% Latinx, 33.33% White, 56 girls, 70 boys, median household income: $120,001-$125,000). In the full study, older children and children whose parents reported more racial socialization rated the protagonist's behavior more negatively; older children were also more likely to confront the protagonist. Neither participants' own race nor their prior exposure to racial diversity impacted their evaluations or confrontations of discrimination. The results have implications for understanding children's potential to serve as agents of social change by regulating other children's racial biases and behaviors.

The Concept of Children's Education Perspective of Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah

Children's education consciously guides and guides the condition of the soul, especially so that it can cultivate good morals and habits from the beginning of its growth and development, until it reaches puberty, so that a personality is formed in accordance with educational goals. In order to study the concept of children's education, it is necessary to study the thoughts of previous scholars, because it is undeniable that there have been many contributions made by previous scholars, especially in the world of education. Educational figures who are used as research objects are scholars of interpretation, hadith, ushuluddin, and Arabic, but not much research has been done on the concept of education. The concept of the figure's education is outlined in his books, but the world of education does not recognize him as an educational figure. Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyyah, with his characteristics and personality as a knowledgeable person, we will undoubtedly find some hints, views and instructions about education, in addition to his sincerity in discussing various other fields of knowledge. We certainly find advice about the concept of education in the books written by these figures. Therefore it is very interesting if it is discussed more deeply regarding the concept of children's education according to Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyyah. The type of research used in collecting data is library research, namely a series of activities related to library data collection methods, reading and recording and processing research materials. There are three important aspects in the concept of children's education according to Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah, namely the goals of children's education, children's education materials, and educational methods. In terms of children's education goals, Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah explained that the main goal of Islamic education is to grow and develop all of the child's potential, maintain nature, and protect it from deviations and realize the meaning of worship to Allah. In the aspect of children's education material, Ibnu Qayyim revealed that there are seven children's education materials namely Faith Education, Mental Education, Intellect Education, Moral Education, Social Education, Physical Education and Sex Education. In terms of educational methods, Ibn Qayyim explained several methods that can be used in children's education including the habituation method, the exemplary method, the advice method, and the punishment method.

Local Food Price Volatility and School Dropout in Sub‐Saharan Africa

AbstractWorldwide, children are enrolled in primary school in greater numbers than ever before. Nonetheless, school dropout rates are significant in many countries. A crucial factor in a child's education and potential for leaving school is their family's economic insecurity. Low‐income households, in particular, are highly sensitive to food prices, and increases in the cost of food staples can force families to sacrifice education to smooth food consumption. While earlier studies have relied on aggregate measures of economic conditions or are restricted to single countries and limited time periods, we take an individual approach and examine how education is affected by local food price volatility. Empirically, we combine individual‐level data on school dropout from 40 Demographic and Health Surveys in 14 sub‐Saharan African countries between 1992 and 2020 with geo‐referenced data on consumer food prices at local markets from the World Food Programme. Our results show that children are up to 8 percent more likely to drop out when local food prices sharply increase. Notably, this effect is strongest for older children, especially for boys. This demonstrates that economic instability during childhood can have long‐run adverse effects on individuals and has important implications for understanding the human capital costs of income crises.

Construction of a Specific Test for Flexibility Assessment in Rhythmic Gymnastics

Rhythmic gymnastics is a combination of sport and art, in which flexibility is one of the most important abilities and plays an important role in the performance specification equation. However, there is limited systematic research on specific tests of flexibility in rhythmic gymnastics for recognising children's potential and tracking the training process. The primary purpose of this research was to construct a measurement instrument for evaluating flexibility that would be applied specifically to rhythmic gymnastics. The sample consisted of 41 female rhythmic gymnasts aged 10-12 (X=11.05, SD=0.84). All of them are members of two rhythmic gymnastics clubs from Croatia and registered with the Croatian Gymnastics Federation. We used three familiar flexibility tests: - forward bend on a bench, frontal split with hand support, split in a supine position - and one new test – frontal split on an elevated surface. Results of the statistical analyses have shown that the new test measures flexibility, which is required for success in rhythmic gymnastics. There is a significant correlation between individual measurements (p<0.001), so this test is considered reliable. It would be good to implement the new test when selecting children for rhythmic gymnastics as well as during transitive measurements in the training process.

UNDERSTANDING THE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND PARENTAL EXPECTATIONS

This study aims to describe the understanding and expectations of parents towards children with Intellectual Disability (ID). Children with ID have advantages, they have the potential to win, even at the level of world championships, such as the Special Olympics. However, there are still parents of children with ID who do not know their child's potential. They still wonder about what they can expect from children with ID. In addition, although parents of children with ID help their children in therapy, there are still some of them who do not fully understand the concept of ID. To find out aspects of understanding and expectations of parents of children with ID, the researchers conducted interviews with four parents (mothers) of children with ID. Researchers explored the understanding of parents (mothers) regarding what they know about the concept of ID. In addition, researchers also explored their expectations for their children with ID. This research used two questionnaires, namely the Parent’s Understanding of ID Scale and the Parental Expectations on ID Scale. The Parent's Understanding of ID Scale consists of 50 items, while the Parental Expectations on ID Scale consist of 10 items. These two scales were developed by researchers based on various literatures. Based on the interviews related to understanding ID, the results obtained: (a) parents stated that they lack information about ID, (b) parents began to know that their children have ID when their children were unable to speak at the age of 12 months, and (c) parents were told by doctor that if the child is unable to walk until the age of 18 months, it is one of the signs that the child has ID. Regarding the expectations toward children with ID, the results show that parents expect: (a) their children will not experience bullying in the community, (b) their children will easily find schools that are suitable for ID, and (c) parents can accompany their children, especially if they are outside.

Cultural Arbitrariness of School and Childrenstudents’ Identity Behaviours

Introduction: The school as a culture’s institution provides ready-made models of identity in direct and subliminal cultural messages, confronting the child-student on a daily basis with the necessity to (successfully) cope with the (mis)comprehension of meanings produced by the school culture. Research Aim : In article I make an attempt to (re)cognize how narrations conducted and/or imposed by the emerging school culture determine the (un)conscious acquisition by children of meanings that describe their school reality and build their identity as learners. I have embedded the study in the theoretical framework of the reconstructed psychocultural concept of school culture of J. S. Bruner and the theory of cultural reproduction of P. Bourdieu. Method: The research material that I analyse and interpret in this paper using the hermeneutic-phenomenological method of coding are narrative interviews conducted with ten-year-old children at risk who have become fourth grade students. Results: The results of the research relate to the perception of school by children who have crossed the 2nd educational threshold in terms of school rules and norms. The research focuses on the process of implementing the child into the role of a student, indicating the oppressive nature of the school's culture. Conclusion: In the discussion of the results, I seek to draw attention the hidden beliefs about students, who become a material, an object or a product of the school (culture)'s operation and contrast them with Korczak's idea of openness and sensitivity to the child's potential.

SOSIALISASI DAN EDUKASI PENERAPAN PROTOKOL KESEHATAN BAGI ANAK-ANAK DI KELURAHAN SAMKAI PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

Corona virus prevention is very important to do by using the socialization method. Socialization is providing information about how to prevent the Corona virus. Corona virus prevention can be done by practicing social distancing, implementing clean living and self-isolation to avoid transmission of the virus. Children are an important priority to be educated to have a healthy lifestyle. The service activities carried out aim to educate children on the coast of Binaloka, Samkai Village, to improve security independently in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. The high activity and interaction of the children around can already be balanced with the awareness of children in terms of strict self-care against Covid-19, for example washing hands properly and adopting a healthy and clean lifestyle. Through this activity it is hoped that children's potential to be exposed to Covid-19 can be reduced, because children have tried to take preventive measures. Based on the results of the service, there was an increase from pre test to post test, namely knowledge about the dangers of the corona virus from 56% to 80%. Knowledge of the correct use of masks from 70% to 100%, and knowledge of the importance of washing hands from 68% to 85%. Based on the increase in scores from pretest to posttest, it can be concluded that community service activities regarding health outreach and education for children in Samkai Village were successful.

VIETNAMESE REGULATIONS ON THE POOR ETHNIC AND MOUNTAINOUS CHILDREN'S PROTECTION

Education and training development is determined as the leading national policy to ensure equality in learning for poor ethnic and mountainous children. The lack of access to quality education also means losing a potential source of future growth for the country. No schooling and access to written language and education not only reduce children's individual potential but also stifle their intellectual attainment and equal opportunities and increase cycles of poverty and disadvantage for all generations over the country. For mountainous and ethnic minority regions, illiterate children are becoming a drag on the development and integration process, preventing the industrialization and modernization of rural agriculture. Besides the positive changes, education in those regions still reveals several limitations and shortcomings that need to be overcome soon to improve the quality further.

A Case Study on Autism Spectrum Disorder with Low Level Attention

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is now more widely recognised in both the public and medical spheres. Developmental impairment known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is brought on by variations in the brain. Individuals with ASD may struggle with confined or repetitive activities or interests, as well as social communication and engagement. Moreover, people with ASD may learn, move, or pay attention in various ways. Due to the increased number of children and teenagers seeking earlier guidance, evaluation, and diagnosis, there is a strong need for services. All clinicians working with children, including primary care teams, allied healthcare professionals, educational and social care staff, must have a solid understanding of the presentation and assessment of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and an understanding of the co-morbidities to maximise detection and minimise harm. There are standards in the identification, referral, and diagnosis of autism, even if entry points for referrals can change due to a variety of presentation and local service provision. In order to improve a child's potential, provide appropriate support, and implement focused interventions for ASD and co-occurring problems with the hope of improving outcomes, early identification is advantageous. This case study discusses autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and offers professionals who come across a child with suspected ASD an assessment strategy.

Analisis Multiple Intelligence dalam Pembelajaran Biologi

Multiple intelligence theory can be used as a basis for assessing children's intelligence potential, the results or multiple intelligence profiles will be very useful for guidance and education. The challenges of era 4.0 and the characteristics of today's generation of learners encourage teachers to be able to innovate and develop the learning process continuously. One of the innovations that can be carried out is the implementation of multiple intelligence-based learning. For this reason, it is necessary to know the multiple intelligences that can be accommodated in learning biology on cell material. This research is a descriptive narrative research. The sample taken was total sampling using subjects as many as 7 grade 8 students and 1 science teacher. The research was conducted at Equal Bright School Bandung because this school is based on multiple intelligence in its learning. Data collection techniques were conducted by direct observation techniques to see the implementation of biology learning, interview sheets to describe learning from teachers and students, documentation in the form of photos and videos and multiple intelligence inventory questionnaire adapted from McKenzie (1999). The data collected from the analysis of lesson plans, interviews and multiple intelligence questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive methods, the calculations carried out in the form of categorization. The results of the research show that the teachers' learning of the biology of the cells can facilitate several multiple intelligences, kinesthetic, naturalistic, interpersonal, visual-spatial, verbal and intrapersonal. The creation of a biology learning plan based on multiple intelligence and learning in the classroom is based on the dominant intelligence of the student.

O perspectivă logopedică asupra tranziției către școlaritate a copilului cu implant cohlear

Cochlear implant (CI) is a medical procedure originally developed in the United States. In Romania, it is part of the national programme for the treatment of deafness with implantable hearing aids managed by the National Health Insurance House. Successful implantation transforms the child with hearing loss into a hearing but not a speaking child. Only with systematic support and guidance will the child become a speaker. It is risky to assume that the development of the child with CI follows the same milestones and has to overcome the same challenges as the typical child. In fact, successful integration into mainstream school must be considered a separate objective, which will be prepared and actively pursued during the child's pre-school years by the child's educational partners (family - teachers - speech therapist). Spontaneous development is not guaranteed; moreover, there is a risk of losing the child's development potential. This is why the preparation of the family, the child with CI, the teachers and even the school as a physical environment is essential for a successful start at school. This paper aims to provide a brief contextualisation of cochlear implantation and also answers some pressing questions for an optimal transition to schooling. It considers building and strengthening the self-image of the child with CI, developing personal autonomy, training and developing conversational skills, investigating options related to school choice, getting to know the school and future teachers, forming and developing the prerequisites for schooling, pragmatic suggestions for involving the family in school activities, but also for involving teachers in the school integration of the child with CI.
