A Study on Preschooler’s Preferred Play Area and Peer Behavior

The behaviors of each of eight 12- to 14-mo.-old infants were filmed at two frames per second for 15 min. Infants averaged 9.5 bouts of behavior directed toward peers, primarily looking. The median total duration of peer behavior was 92 sec.; they were alone most of the time. Objects did not seem to be mediators of peer interaction. Analysis of bout-durations indicated that, to capture sequences of “general” categories of behavior, observation intervals must be > 1 sec.; sequencing specific acts required intervals > 2 sec.

The Impact

Children in this millennial era cannot be separated from the use of smartphones, of course, without parental supervision, it will have an impact on the development of children's mental and psychological conditions. Excessive use of gadgets causes children to do little or even no physical activity at all, such as playing with their friends. Whereas physical activity in children affects the growth and development of children. Therefore, at the Bhayangkara University Surabaya Real Work Lecture, group 062 students took the initiative to make a playground in Tebel Village, Gedangan District, Sidoarjo Regency on 22 May - 6 June 2021. The children and residents around the play area were very happy and excited to come and take advantage of these facilities. It is expected that children are more active and can socialize with their peers.

Control Study

Objectives. To examine risk factors for driveway-related child pedestrian injuries. Design. A community based case-control study. Setting. The Auckland region of New Zealand. Participants. Cases (n = 53) were children killed or hospitalized as a result of a driveway-related pedestrian injury, in the Auckland region over a period of 2 years and 2 months. Controls (n = 159) were an age-matched random sample of the child population of the Auckland region. Results. The absence of physical separation of the driveway from the children's play area was associated with a threefold increase in the risk of driveway-related child pedestrian injury (OR = 3.50; 95% CI 1.38, 8.92). Children living in homes with shared driveways were also at significantly increased risk (OR = 3.24; 95% CI 1.22, 8.63). The population attributable risk associated with the absence of physical separation of the driveway from the children's play area was 50.0% (95% CI 24.7, 75.3). Conclusion. The fencing of residential driveways as a strategy for the prevention of driveway-related child pedestrian injuries deserves further attention.
