Abstract

This study aims to examines the impact of prostitution environments on children's mental development and evaluates the effectiveness of child protection programs in Indonesia. Studies show that children living in prostitution environments are vulnerable to psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and social stigmatization. This study aims to analyze these impacts, assess the effectiveness of child protection policies, and formulate an intervention model based on psychological, social, and educational support. Through qualitative methods, the study involved participants from the village secretary and the head of the Pamandangan RT, who were selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and policy document analysis. The results showed that children in prostitution environments experience complex trauma due to violence, stigmatization, and family instability. Protective factors such as school support, mentoring, and the role of community leaders can increase children's resilience. However, the implementation of child protection policies is hampered by weak coordination between institutions and limited resources. This study enriches the child development model with an ecological and resilience perspective and offers guidelines for community-based interventions. In terms of policy, it is recommended to strengthen the synergy between the government, KPAI, and LSM through integrated monitoring and specific budget allocation for child protection in prostitution environments.

Abstract

The development of logical thinking skills and spatial visual intelligence in children aged 4ÔÇô5 years is essential for fostering early understanding of geometric concepts. Many children at this stage still experience difficulties recognizing basic geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles, along with identifying concrete examples from their surroundings. This study aims to develop and examine the MEGA (Media Edukasi Geometri Anak) application as a varied alternative learning medium to stimulate these abilities. The research applies a Research and Development (R&D) model with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 25 children aged 4ÔÇô5 years from Kindergarten Muslimat Kabuh were involved, with data gathered through observational research activities. The effectiveness of the application was analyzed using the N-gain test. Results indicate that the application effectively enhances logical thinking, enabling children to better recognize and distinguish geometric shapes. Furthermore, spatial visual intelligence develops, as children become able to identify colors, name vertical and horizontal lines within geometric drawings, and relate real-world objects to their geometric forms. These findings highlight meaningful improvements in childrenÔÇÖs cognitive and spatial abilities after engaging with the MEGA application, showing its potential as an alternative learning medium in early childhood educational settings.┬á

Abstract

This study examines the impact of parental nutrition literacy on the physical-motor development of children at TK Al-Falah. Using a case study approach, data were collected through questionnaires and observations, and analyzed thematically. The findings suggest that parents with a strong understanding of nutrition are more likely to provide balanced, nutritious meals, which positively influence their children's physical-motor development. Children of parents with high nutrition literacy exhibit greater physical activity, improved balance, and enhanced fine and gross motor coordination. In contrast, children of parents with limited nutrition knowledge tend to have less balanced diets, potentially hindering their physical development. These results underscore the importance of nutrition education for parents to ensure children receive adequate nourishment for optimal physical-motor growth. It is recommended that schools and relevant organizations strengthen nutrition education initiatives to support children's overall development.
