Mother possesses a central role in the process of educating children. Mother spends more time with children at home than in the school. Thus, the attachment between the child and the mother becomes a benchmark as having required the ability to perform interaction within constructed social relations of school-aged children. This study was conducted using an explorative study that focused on the ‘eyecatching’ of information and issues that obtained in the process of this study. Interview, observation and documentation techniques are applied. The results show that the attachment between mother and child is built on the basis of the various skills that must be owned by school-aged children. This also means the role and function of the mother in educating school-aged children, expecially teaching process, that is caring, willingness to share, respect, politeness and responsibility. Providing good role models is the best way to instill values   in children, thus becoming the foundation for good attachment building between mother and child. Keywords: attachment, mother, children, school-age children.

Makanan yang dikonsumsi oleh anak usia sekolah sangat mempengaruhi perkembangan fisik. Orang tua memiliki peran untuk melakukan pengontrolan dan pengawasan terkait dengan pola makan anak karena anak usia sekolah rentan terkena penyakit terutama permasalahan gizi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis pola makan pada anak usia sekolah. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2019. Penelitian ini melibatkan 97 orang siswa di SDN Sumur Batu 01 Pagi Kemayoran, Jakarta yang dipilih dengan teknik stratified sampling. Pola makan diukur dengan menggunakan instrument The feeding practices and structure quistionnare (FPSQ) (Jansen, Mallan, Nicholson, & Daniels, 2014). Pola makan anak dilihat berdasarkan 8 dimensi, yaitu: dimensi ketidakpercayaan nafsu makan, hadiah untuk perilaku, hadiah untuk makan, makanan persuasif, pembatasan terselubung, pembatasan yang jelas, terstruktur pengaturan makan, dan terstruktur waktu makan. Pola makan anak dikategorikan menjadi 3 kategori, yaitu rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Data yang telah dikumpulkan diolah dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 82,5 persen anak memiliki pola makan pada kategori sedang. Hasil ini menunjukan bahwa pola makan anak berada pada kategori belum optimal. Oleh karena itu, orang tua dan guru diharapkan dapat meningkatkan perhatian pada pola makan anak. Orang tua dan guru diharapkan dapat mengajarkan anak mengenai pola makan yang sehat.   Kata kunci: anak usia sekolah, keterlibatan keluarga, pola makan, makanan sehat   Analysis of Eating Pattern in School Aged Children Abstrack Food consumed by school age children greatly affects physical development. Parents have a role to the control and supervision related to child’s eating patterns because school age children vulnerable to disease, especially nutrition problems. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze eating pattern in school age children. The research was conducted in december, 2019. This study involved 97 students at SDN Sumur Batu 01 Pagi Kemayoran, Jakarta that were selected using stratified sampling technique. Eating pattern have been measured using the feeding practices and structure questionnaire (FPSQ) instrument (Jansen, Mallan, Nicholson, & Daniels, 2014). Children's eating patterns were seen based on 8 dimensions, namely: distrust in appetite, reward for behavior, reward for eating, persuasive feeding, covert restriction, overt restriction, structured meal setting, and structured meal timing. Children's eating patterns are categorized into 3 categories, namely low, medium, and high. The data that has been collected is processed and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that 82,5 percent of children had a moderate eating pattern. These results indicate that children's eating patterns are still not optimal. Therefore, parents and teachers are expected to be able to increase attention to children's eating patterns. Parents and teachers are expected to be able to teach children about healthy eating patterns. Keywords: eating pattern, family involvement, healthy food, school aged children

Abstract Background: Among school-age children, the decrease of cartilage thickness (Cth) with increasing age is well known. However, the influence of body mass index (BMI), height or weight on Cth has not been revealed. Here in, we aim to establish an age- and gender-specific Cth standard reference among Asians and investigate the possible prestige of BMI, height and weight. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in healthy Asian children. Bilateral knees, ankles, wrists, second metacarpophalangeals (MCPs) and proximal interphalangeals (PIPs) were measured using ultrasound. The children’s height, weight and BMI were also recorded for later adjustment.Results: A total of 200 school age Asian children (including 86 girls and 114 boys, aged between 5 to 13 years-old) were investigated. Cth differences were observed in the knees, ankles, wrists, MCPs and PIPs between sexes (p<0.05), with girls having thinner cartilage thickness. While Cth decreases with increasing age ( p <0.0001, 0.039, 0.001, 0.023, 0.091 in girls’ knees, ankles, wrists, MCPs and PIPs and p = 0.002, 0.001, <0.0001, 0.001, 0.045 in boys’, respectively). Our data showed that weight, height and BMI are not the main factors contributing to Cth. A formula to calculate gender-specific cartilage thickness for Asian school age children is suggested. There was no difference in Cth after adjusting for height or weight between Asian or Caucasian group.Conclusions: A formula to calculate gender-specific cartilage thickness for Asian school age children is suggested. Height, weight and BMI were not the major contributor for Cth among school age children.

AbstractBackgroundIn developing countries, infections caused by soil-transmitted helminthes (STH), such as Ascaris, Trichuris and hookworm, pose major public health problems among the school-age children, resulting in impaired physical growth such as stunting and thinness, and cognitive development. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of STH infections, stunting and thinness, and risk factors among school-age-children in Ibadan. This becomes highly imperative in order to serve as a guide on the prevention and control.MethodA cross-sectional study was carried out in 8 primary schools at Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria, between May and November 2018. All the school-age-children between the ages 5 and 18 years old (mean 10.4 ± 1.7 years), from primary one to six took part in the study. Demographic data were obtained and STH infections was analysed in single-stool samples by Kato-Katz. Anthropometric parameters were taken to calculate Height for-age Z score (HAZ) and Body-Mass-Index (BMI) for-age Z score (BAZ), in order to determine among school-aged-children stunting and thinness respectively.ResultsIn overall, 458 school-age-children partook in the study. The prevalence of STH was 9.0%, out of which 7.6%, 2.8% and 1.5% were recorded for Ascaris, Trichuris and multiparasitism respectively. The overall prevalence obtained revealed that the results of stunting and thinness (HAZ < -2SD, BAZ < -2SD) were 24.7% and 27.3% respectively based on the WHO Child Growth Standards (2007). Notably, ages of the children (P< 0.01), their classes (P=0.05), different schools (P=0.003), washing of hands after toileting (P = 0.05) were important risk factors determining STH infection, HAZ and BAZ.ConclusionThe study showed that specific risk factors among school children in the studied area will make them vulnerable with high risk of STH infection, HAZ and BAZ. Effective prevention and control strategies can be well planned when risk factors and dynamics of transmission in vulnerable groups have been painstakingly identified.SummaryAscaris, Trichuris and hookworm are responsible for major public health problems among the school-age children (SAC); this has led to stunting and thinness, and impaired cognitive development. With the aim to determine prevalence of STH infections, stunting, thinness and associated risk factors, a cross-sectional study of STH infection in 8 primary schools at Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria was conducted in 2018. School-aged children between the ages of 5 and 18 were enrolled, demographic data, stool samples and anthropometric parameters were obtained in order to determine STH infection and nutritional status. 9.0% was the prevalence of STH, the prevalence of 7.6%, 2.8% and 1.5% were recorded for Ascaris, Trichuris and multiparasitism respectively, while 24.7% and 27.3% were obtained for stunting and thinness respectively. The children’s age, hand washing after toileting and locations of the different schools were significantly correlated with STH infection, HAZ and BAZ. This study is highly imperative because its shows some risk factors associated with STH infection, HAZ and BAZ among SAC, this can serve as a guide on the prevention and control among SAC.

Abstract. In two experiments (Experiment 1: N = 180, Experiment 2: N = 150), we investigated the anecdotal observation that school age children are assumed to be experts in spatial associate learning. In the first experiment, second graders, sixth graders, and adults learned the associations between 32 pictures and either a position or a word. 16 pictures had each to be associated with one position in a 4-by-4 grid of squares (spatial condition); the other 16 pictures had each to be associated to one of 16 monosyllabic words (verbal condition). After a 3 min distractor interval the associated position or word had to be retrieved with the pictures as cues. In Experiment 2, the results were replicated in principle with modifications in the experimental details. Performance improvement as a function of age turned out to be substantially larger in the verbal condition compared to the spatial one. The results are traced back to the idea that spatial associate learning is a cognitive function maturating early during life span.

Abstract Background Biological changes underlying the sexual and reproductive maturation of school-age children are linked with various sexual and reproductive health and rights risks. SRHR risks are predictors of poor SRHR outcomes, such as poor knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases and early sexual initiation occurring predominantly among school-age children. The aim of this proposed review, therefore, is to identify educational interventions that have proven to be effective in promoting or supporting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of school-aged children in low- and middle-income countries. Methods A systematic review of studies on the strategies promoting the SRHR of school-aged children shall be conducted. Electronic searches will be conducted from January 2000 onwards on the following databases: MEDLINE(R) ALL (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOHost), APA PsycInfo (Ovid), ERIC (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Ovid), Education Source (EBSCOHost), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), SciELO Citation Index (Clarivate Analytics), Global Health (Ovid), and Sociological Abstract (Proquest). Studies eligible for inclusion will be randomized control trials (RCTs), non-randomized trials, quasi-experimental studies (e.g., pre-post tests), and observational studies (cross-sectional and cohort studies). Peer-reviewed studies published in English and/or French and involving school-aged children 5–10 years old will be included. The primary outcomes of interest will include knowledge, awareness, or attitudes about SRHR topics. The secondary outcomes of interest will include sexual and reproductive behaviors. Two reviewers will independently screen all citations, abstract data, and full-text articles, and the methodological quality of each study will be appraised using JBI critical appraisal tools. A narrative synthesis of extracted data will be conducted. Discussion The systematic review will synthesize the evidence on existing educational interventions targeting SRHR outcomes of school-aged children in low- and middle-income countries. It will identify which interventions have proven to be effective, and which interventions have not proven to be effective in promoting or supporting their SRHR. Review findings will provide a useful reference for policy-makers, program developers, global health leaders, and decision makers who wish to support the SRHR of school-age children. Systematic review registration The protocol has been registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42020173158).
