Abstract

The problem of malnutrition in children remains a controversial topic of discussion and an unresolved challenge, especially concerning parental knowledge. Parents must be knowledgeable about balanced nutrition before proceeding to the implementation stage. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of parental knowledge about the 2014 Balanced Nutrition Guidelines that were developed by the Ministry of Health in Indonesia. In order to collect data, the questionnaire was distributed to 80 respondents who were parents of students at Al-Maarif Singosari Kindergarten in Malang Regency. The questionnaire focused on evaluating parents' understanding of the recommendations for a balanced diet. The research findings revealed that 64% of parents demonstrated a strong comprehension of the balanced diet recommendations, while 36% exhibited a moderate understanding. However, these results are insufficient to ensure the effective implementation of balanced nutrition in children unless the knowledge is consistently translated into practice. Further research is needed on the relationship between parents' understanding of balanced nutrition and children's nutritional levels.

Abstract

Attention to engaging children in math-related play is increasing, but it is not clear how early childhood practitioners in South Africa practice lived mathematical play. This study sought to determine early childhood care and education practitioners’ lived mathematical play practices. The study was anchored on Vygotsky's social constructivist theory, which holds that children learn best when they are scaffolded and mediated by people who have more knowledge than they do. The study adopted a phenomenological research design using a sample of 10 practitioners. The researchers gathered data using a semi-structured interview guide. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the data that were gathered. The findings of the study revealed that the lived mathematical play practices of early childhood partitioners include building relationships, showing respect, having passion, being experienced, and acting in loco parentis. Moreover, practitioners seem to know and understand what was expected of them in ECCE, particularly regarding the teaching of mathematical play-based learning. It was recommended that practitioners' lived mathematics play-based learning can be improved through appropriate teacher development programs and by gaining acceptable qualifications.

Abstract

Environmental hygiene is an important issue that impacts health and quality of life. As a consequence, several measures are required to keep the environment clean, including fostering environmental hygiene habits at an early age. This study aims to describe the habituation of environmental hygiene in children with special needs. The type of research used is qualitative, which is analyzed descriptively, using direct observation and semi-structured interviews with open questions involving participants, namely educators and students five to six years old. The results of this study indicate that the habituation of environmental hygiene in children with special needs at Talented Kindergarten Semarang City runs well through various methods such as hygiene songs, making costumes made from used goods, and applying the concept of Zero Waste Life Style. Personal cleanliness and toilet training are examples of habituation, which is the process of doing something repeatedly until it becomes second nature. The existence of adequate facilities can support children in maintaining cleanliness. The involvement of teachers, parents, and professionals in children's therapy influences their growth and development, in order for these activities to foster self-reliance, accountability, and environmental consciousness.

Abstract

This study examines parental involvement in fostering children's independence and promoting an early understanding of gender equality. Using a qualitative case study approach at SILO Makale Kindergarten, South Sulawesi, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that active parental involvement, particularly when grounded in gender-responsive practices, positively influences children's independence and their comprehension of gender equality. Children raised in such environments tend to demonstrate greater autonomy and a more equitable perspective on gender roles. Conversely, limited parental attention and engagement were associated with higher dependency in daily activities. The study also reveals that gender education at the preschool level remains underdeveloped, which may hinder children's understanding of gender roles. Based on these results, the study recommends that parents actively engage in practices that support both independence and gender equality, while preschool institutions should begin systematically integrating gender equality concepts into early childhood education.
