Role of the Health Consultant in Child Care and Schools

This article discusses the role of child protection and residential care institutions in mediating the tension between women’s productive and reproductive responsibilities in early state socialist Hungary. At a time when increasing numbers of women entered paid work in the framework of catch-up industrialization but the socialization of care work was inadequate, these institutions substituted for missing public child care services. Relying on not only policy documents but more than six hundred children’s case files, including Romani children’s files, from three different locations in Hungary as well as interviews with former children’s home residents and personnel, the article examines the regulatory framework in which child protection institutions and caseworkers operated. It points to the differentiated forms of pressure these institutions exercised on Romani and non-Romani mothers to enter paid work between the late 1940s and the early 1950s from the intersectional perspective of gender and ethnicity. Showing that prejudice against “Gypsies” as work-shy persisted in child protection work across the systemic divide of the late 1940s, the article contributes to scholarship on state socialism and Stalinism that emphasizes the role of historical continuities. At the same time, reflecting on parental invention in using child protection as a form of child care, the article also complicates a simplistic social control approach to residential care institutions in Stalinist Hungary.

Carriage of the GAS strain was common and widespread following a single fatal case of invasive GAS disease at the child-care center. Risk factors for GAS T-1 carriage did not identify all carriers. Our findings suggest that widespread culturing is needed to identify all potential carriers. The role of prophylactic antibiotic administration in preventing secondary cases could not be determined.

Female Migrant

Discussions about children and female migrant workers (TKW) are always in interesting issue. Especially, related to child care. By using data extraction techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation, it is known that parenting children of migrant workers in Madura has formed a new structure with the emergence of a second mother. There are three types of second mothers, namely grandmother, bu de (mother's brother or sister), and sister of TKW's child. They carry out the role of mother, among them being a model of children's behavior that is easily observed and imitated, becomes an educator, becomes a consultant, and becomes a source of information. Nearly 77% of grandmothers become maternal substitutes for migrant workers' children. Grandmother is considered the right person to do childcare tasks. This structure is called the inner parenting structure. While the structure of outside parenting takes the form of community participation in child care, namely good neighbors, the attention of the village head (Klebun), and the environment of friends and schools. Pembahasan tentang anak dan Tenaga Kerja Wanita (TKW) selalu menjadi isu yang menarik. Terutama yang berkaitan dengan pola asuh anak. Dengan menggunakan teknik penggalian data berupa observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi diketahui bahwa pola asuh anak TKW di Madura membentuk struktur baru dengan munculnya ibu pengganti (second mother). Ada tiga jenis ibu pengganti, yaitu nenek, bu de (kakak atau adik ibu), serta kakak dari anak TKW. Mereka menjalankan peran ibu diantaranya menjadi model tingkah laku anak yang mudah diamati dan ditiru, menjadi pendidik, menjadi konsultan, dan menjadi sumber informasi. Hampir 77% nenek menjadi sosok pengganti ibu bagi anak-anak TKW. Nenek dianggap sebagai sosok yang tepat untuk melakukan tugas-tugas pengasuhan anak. Struktur ini disebut dengan struktur pola asuh dalam. Sementara struktur pola asuh luar itu berwujud peran serta masyarakat dalam pengasuhan anak yaitu tetangga yang baik, perhatian kepala desa (Klebun), dan lingkungan teman dan sekolah.

This paper examines current issues and availability of employer-sponsored child care in Australia and compares two international perspectives on the issue of child care and responsibility with the present Australian perspective. The historical emergence of employer-sponsored child care in Australia is traced over the past two decades and is supported by three examples of companies having successfully used such arrangements. Implications for early childhood professionals and the changing roles practitioners face in terms of ensuring quality and equity in services for young children and their families are discussed. The authors propose employer-sponsored child care as a viable option for Australian families, and argue for the establishment of a central body responsible for supporting and monitoring quality, with equity being an essential component.

It is through social interactions in meaningful contexts that children learn who they are, what the world is, how to relate to others and what is expected of them. In early childhood programs, children are introduced to the institution of education. In culturally diverse settings, there may be significant differences between what is expected in the child care centre and what is expected in the home. One of the most direct ways in which children learn how to play an appropriate role in this new setting is through their experience of being praised by staff. An analysis of praise during group discussion in four child care centres is presented. It is suggested that in all four centres, children in this situation were being schooled in passivity rather than being encouraged to be active problem solvers and seekers after knowledge.
