Abstract

Unaddressed behavioral problems in early childhood often persist into later life stages. This study aimed to analyze how empathy levels influence behavioral problems among young children and whether this relationship remains significant after controlling for gender. Using an explanatory quantitative design, data were obtained from 141 kindergarten and RA B teachers in Semarang City through a structured questionnaire. The results of frequency analysis showed that children’s empathy levels were entirely within the high category (100%), while behavioral problems were mostly in the low category (70.9%) and moderate category (29%). Multiple regression testing confirmed that empathy significantly reduced problem behaviors (p < 0.05). Emotional contagion, concern for others, and prosocial behavior were the most influential dimensions. When gender was controlled, empathy remained a significant predictor, whereas gender had no direct effect. This study contributes to the growing body of global scholarship on early childhood socio-emotional development by highlighting empathy as a key psychological mechanism for behavioral regulation. It strengthens the theoretical integration between empathy development and behavioral adjustment, offering empirical evidence that supports cross-cultural understanding of emotional and behavioral competencies in early childhood education. The findings suggest that interventions emphasizing emotional contagion, caring, and prosocial responsiveness can effectively reduce behavioral issues regardless of gender. Further studies are recommended to explore cross-contextual factors such as emotional regulation, family interactions, and teacher–child relationships to enrich the explanatory model of empathy’s influence on children’s behavioral outcomes.

Abstract

Children with physical disabilities (tunadaksa) require educational services that are adaptive, inclusive, and responsive to their physical and psychological needs. This article aims to describe the characteristics, challenges, and educational strategies for children with physical disabilities in elementary schools. The method used is a literature review from various books, journals, and educational regulations related to inclusive education and special needs education. The results show that children with physical disabilities generally experience difficulties in mobility, limitations in the function of limbs, slower movement, difficulties in self-care activities, and decreased self-confidence due to physical differences. Therefore, schools need to provide accessible facilities, adaptive learning methods, emotional support, and inclusive social environments. Teachers also play an important role in fostering students’ confidence and independence through collaborative and student-centered learning approaches. Proper educational support can help children with physical disabilities develop their academic potential, social skills, and self-confidence optimally.
