This paper details an institutional ethnography conducted in Constance Lake First Nation, a rural Oji-Cree community in northern Ontario, Canada. The study is a part of a larger project called the Inclusive Early Childhood Service System Project, which is partnered with several municipalities and service organizations in four communities across Ontario. The current project examined six family narratives of accessing disability support services for young children. The project seeks to understand how the service system functions from the perspective of families, and the impact of institutional interactions on families within the service system. Employing critical disability theory and Indigenous perspectives of child development, the study seeks to develop a culturally-based conceptualization of disability support for Indigenous children with disabilities or gifts.

Pola asuh adalah karakteristik yang dimiliki orang tua dalam pengasuhan pada anak yang dilakukan secara berkelanjutan. Ada tiga jenis pola asuh yang biasa diterapkan oleh orang tua yaitu demokratis, permisif dan otoriter (Baumrind, 2010). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola asuh yang diterapkan oleh orang tua tunggal pada anak usia dini. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan teknik perekrutan partisipan secara purposive sampling. Kriteria perekrutan partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah orangtua tunggal yang memiliki anak usia dini dan ada 60 partisipan, 9 laki-laki dan 51 perempuan, yang memenuhi kriteria tersebut. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner melalui google form kepada para partisipan tesebut selama enam bulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada 51,4% partisipan penelitian yang menerapkan pola asuh demokratis, 27,9% menerapkan pola asuh otoriter dan 20,7% menerapkan pola asuh permisif pada anak usia dini.

Introduction Early childhood is a vital part of human life because most of the brain developments occur in this particular period. Early childhood disability is a significant global public health burden, which can negatively impact the children’s quality of life and their overall productivity. It is also a major social and economic problem in Bangladesh. Therefore, it is very important to understand the associated factors for early childhood disability, which may help disability prevention, better management and policy formulation. The main objective of this study is to investigate the child, family, and community-level factors associated with early childhood disability in Bangladesh. Methods A cross sectional nationally representative data was derived from Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), 2019. A total of 14,072 Bangladeshi children under five years of age were selected for this study. Various types of statistical analysis (simple, bivariate, multivariable) were performed. To assess the bivariate relationship between chosen categorical variables (independent) and early childhood disability (dependent), a chi-square test was used. The multivariable ordinal logistic regression was used to find out the association of disability with child, family, and community-level factors. Results The results show that 2.0% of the children have at least one disability and 0.8% have more disabilities. Several factors namely not attending in early childhood education [Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.13–1.17 Ρ = 0.01], having mother’s functional difficulty (OR = 1.23; 95% (CI) = 0.58–1.88 Ρ <0.001), unhappy mother’s life (OR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.30–1.39 Ρ <0.001), parents without internet access (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.06–1.29 Ρ = 0.03) and parents using mobile phone (OR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.09–0.95 Ρ = 0.02) were found to be important for early childhood disability in Bangladesh. Conclusion Early childhood disability is still neglected in Bangladesh and further epidemiological studies are recommended. The findings of this study may help policy makers and relevant stakeholders to develop interventions for reducing the overall burden of early childhood disability.

This knowledge synthesis aims to understand Indigenous experiences of early childhood education, care, family support, intervention, health, and Indigenous services in the context of childhood disability. Each of these institutional contexts has its own underlying professional discourses and worldviews. Knowledge from three sources have been synthesized: (1) interviews with Indigenous families about their experiences of having disabled children, conducted through the Inclusive Early Childhood Service System (IECSS) Project; (2) analysis of the IECSS interviews by the Districtof Temiskaming Elders Council and Indigenous community partners; and (3) the existing body of literature on disability and Indigenous children.This project was conducted in partnership with a mixed team of Indigenous and settler researchers.

This descriptive study examined the inservice training perceptions and suggestions of 242 early childhood service providers in Louisiana. These interventionists indicated that they had primarily or exclusively experienced more passive types of inservice training strategies than active kinds of strategies. Few participants reported having experienced support following training. In general, these interventionists rated passive didactic training techniques, such as lectures, handouts, and lists of resources, as much less likely to result in actual practice changes than dynamic strategies that include observations of teacher modeling, small-group discussions, and opportunities to practice targeted skills.

This study aims at determining the impact of using smartphones on aspects of early childhood language development. This analytical descriptive study was conducted among early childhood children. Documentation was the technique for collecting the data whereas analysing the data was the library research method. Allowing children to use smartphones which are still at an early age with adequate time control, does not interfere with their language development. Children with these criteria can still develop normally. However, the undesirable effects of using smartphones outweigh the constructive effects. In conclusion, early childhood is already familiar with smartphones and is strongly dependent on them in their activities. With a high quantity of time, children’s language development is not optimal and tends to be hampered.
