Abstract

The consumption of unhealthy snacks among young children is increasing, while parents’ knowledge of children’s nutritional needs remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ethnoparenting-based training on improving parents’ knowledge of early childhood nutrition in Karangsari Village, West Java. The focus of the training was to develop an innovative nutritious snack, Manca, made from local ingredients, namely Manyung fish bone meal and Leunca vegetables, both rich in calcium and phosphorus. This research employed a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test procedures. The sample consisted of 30 parents of children aged 2 to 6 years, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene test, and paired t-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in parents’ knowledge, with the mean post-test score increasing by 37 points from 48 to 85. The findings align with Bandura’s Social Learning Theory and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, emphasizing the role of parental modeling and cultural context in shaping nutritional practices. The ethnoparenting-based training proved effective in enhancing parents’ awareness of balanced nutrition for young children. This study highlights the importance of culturally grounded approaches in health and education programs for parents. The findings imply the need to integrate ethnoparenting-based training into early childhood care and education (ECCE) policies globally, particularly in multicultural contexts where parental knowledge of nutrition varies widely. By promoting culturally sensitive nutrition behaviors among parents, this study contributes to the global discourse on improving child health outcomes amid rising cases of undernutrition and overnutrition. Furthermore, incorporating local practices into educational interventions may serve as a model for sustainable and culturally responsive public health initiatives worldwide.

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

Indonesia faces critical early literacy challenges, with 55% of children unable to read simple text by age 10, highlighting the need for innovative pedagogical interventions, particularly in non-formal education sectors. This qualitative case study explores the implementation and effectiveness of an integrated collaborative learning framework that combines fun learning, small-step systems, and individualized approaches to enhance early childhood literacy at biMBA AIUEO Jember, a non-formal education center. Data were collected from 15 participants (a unit head, two motivators, three parents, and nine children aged 3–6) through semi-structured interviews, systematic classroom observation over three months, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1994) interactive model with thematic coding and member checking for validity. Findings reveal four major themes: structured progression through individualized learning levels enhanced literacy acquisition; play-based engagement sustained motivation across developmental variations; adaptive facilitation addressed diverse learning needs within resource constraints; and measurable literacy growth was evident in writing complexity and reading fluency despite individual differences. The integrated framework proved effective in supporting literacy development under limited-resource conditions, though implementation challenges emerged, including uneven learner progress, limited facilitator capacity, and material scarcity. These findings underscore the global relevance of adapting collaborative learning frameworks to strengthen early literacy in resource-constrained, non-formal settings. The study extends collaborative learning theory through the concept of constrained collaboration, demonstrating that meaningful literacy growth can occur when pedagogical models are contextually grounded rather than imported from affluent systems. However, as a single-site and short-term case study, the findings have limited generalizability. Future research should employ mixed methods and longitudinal designs across diverse contexts to measure long-term literacy outcomes and scalability. Ultimately, improving early literacy in marginalized communities requires creative adaptation to local realities, affirming that quality learning can thrive even within material constraints through committed, context-responsive facilitation.

Abstract

Stunting is a major global health issue linked to chronic malnutrition, digestive dysfunction, and inadequate sleep, all of which impair growth and nutrient absorption. Toddlers with poor sleep quality are twice as likely to experience stunting, highlighting the importance of behavioral and sensory interventions. Citronella Oil aromatherapy, containing active compounds such as citronellal and geraniol, has potential appetite-enhancing and relaxing effects through olfactory stimulation of ghrelin and the limbic system. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Citronella Oil aromatherapy on appetite and sleep quality among stunted toddlers aged 2–3 years in the working area of UPTD Tepian Buah Health Center, Berau Regency. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied, involving 55 participants selected through stratified random sampling. Appetite and sleep quality were measured using validated questionnaires, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results showed a significant increase in mean appetite scores (from 37.40 to 44.76) and sleep quality scores (from 7.24 to 12.82) after seven days of Citronella Oil aromatherapy (p<0.05). These findings indicate that Citronella Oil effectively improves both appetite and sleep quality in stunted toddlers through neuroendocrine and behavioral mechanisms. The intervention offers a safe, low-cost, and culturally appropriate complementary therapy that may strengthen early childhood growth and development programs. However, limitations include a small sample size, the absence of a control group, and a short intervention duration, which constrain generalizability. Future studies using randomized controlled and longitudinal designs are recommended to confirm these findings. Beyond its local implications, this research contributes to global efforts to identify sustainable, non-pharmacological strategies to reduce stunting and advance holistic child health in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract

This study explores the role of drawing with YouTube in enhancing cognitive development among early childhood learners. Using an instrumental qualitative case study in one public kindergarten (TK Negeri Pembina Semarang) comprising eight classes with 138 children aged 4–6 years and nine teachers, data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and analysis of children’s drawings. The findings indicate that guided drawing with YouTube tutorials improved children’s observational accuracy (e.g., identifying geometric forms), stimulated collaborative creativity (e.g., divergent colour use), and fostered problem-solving skills (e.g., adaptive material substitution). These results suggest that drawing with YouTube serves as an effective visual learning medium supporting early cognitive and creative growth through multimodal engagement. In the global discourse on digital childhoods, this study provides evidence that structured digital use can transform screen media from passive consumption into active cognitive engagement. It contributes to worldwide discussions on multimodal literacy and digital creativity as essential competencies for young learners. However, the study is limited by its single-site context and lack of longitudinal analysis. Future research should include broader samples, cross-cultural comparisons, and quantitative validation to deepen understanding of the cognitive impacts of digitally mediated drawing activities. Practically, the findings highlight the pedagogical value of integrating short, guided YouTube videos with open-ended questioning to enhance visual literacy, reflective thinking, and creative autonomy in early childhood classrooms.
