This chapter challenges the prevailing narrative that mothers are risky to their children’s health, discussing the myriad ways in which mothers are portrayed as dangerous to their children’s health—and are often held legally responsible for it. This often occurs simultaneously with society’s failure to acknowledge the significant contributions to children’s health made by fathers and other men, as well as more distant, but equally significant, social, economic, and physical factors. The chapter introduces the role of unconscious psychological processes in influencing the decisions of key legal players.

Abstrak Peningkatan sosial ekonomi keluarga, maka kecenderungan pola makan pun akan mengalami perubahan. Sosial ekonomi keluarga juga memiliki korelasi dengan frekuensi membeli makanan diluar rumah yang cenderung mengandung lemak yang tinggi. Secara global, sebanyak 42 juta anak mengalami overweight pada tahun 2015 dan angka kegemukan di Indonesia sekitar 10,8% pada tahun 2013. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran sosial ekonomi keluarga dalam menanggulangi kesehatan anak di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder Riskesdas 2013 dengan desain studi deskriptif verifikatif dimana sampel penelitian sebanyak 49.620 anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 14,5% anak mengalami overweight dengan sosial ekonomi keluarga menengah atas (kuintil 4) sebesar 23,9%. Artinya hampir ¼ anak usia 10-12 tahun di Indonesia berada pada keluarga dengan sosial ekonomi yang lebih dari cukup. Dibutuhkan peran keluarga yang solid untuk mengontrol pendapatan yang tepat guna untuk meningkatkan kesehatan anak.

The socioeconomic family also has a correlation with the frequency of buying food outside the home which tends to contain high fat. Globally, as many as 42 million children were overweight in 2015 and the obesity rate in Indonesia was around 10.8% in 2013. The purpose of this study was to determine the socioeconomic role of families in tackling children's health in Indonesia. This research uses Riskesdas 2013 secondary data with a descriptive verification study design in which the research sample is 49,620 children. The results showed that 14.5% of children were overweight with upper middle family socioeconomic (quintile 4) of 23.9%. This means that almost ¼ children aged 10-12 years in Indonesia are in families with more than enough socioeconomic. A solid family role is needed to control appropriate income to improve children's health.   Keywords: Overweight, Family Socio-Economic, Children

Pre-schools and primary schools play a prominent role in the lives of children. In this phase of their life, reading and writing would begin. There are studies which explored the relationships between writing and reading performance and furniture in the classroom. A considerable body of research addresses the role of school furniture on children’s health. Nevertheless, the impact of furniture on behaviour received fairly insufficient attention in design and furniture industries. Since children have no choice in selecting their furniture, they ended becoming passive users in the design process. In this paper, we aim to understand the impacts that school furniture have on children’s health and performance. This paper reviews previous studies about children’s furniture at educational centers in order to introduce a new prototype of school furniture. This study could inform designers and those involved in children related educational systems to develop better furniture designs in schools.
