Family involvement is defined as cooperation between the school and family and the family's active participation in the education process of their children. Family support is very important during preschool years, as the early education of the child affects the learning process, academic achievement, and social skills in later years. The goal of this article was to examine the relationship between family involvement and children's self-esteem and social-emotional adaptation. Self-esteem and social-emotional adjustment are two concepts that begin to develop during early childhood and are closely related to behaviors and skills in later life. Previous research shows the importance of family involvement on children’s self-esteem and social-emotional development. In this article, we first discussed the role of family involvement on child development. Then, we examined the effects of family involvement on children, parents, and teachers. Finally, we focused on the effects of family involvement on self-esteem and social-emotional adaptation. This article will contribute to understand the importance of family involvement during preschool years. Keywords Preschoolers, family involvement, self esteem, social-emotional adaptation

The Relationship

AbstractThis paper examines the relationship between self-esteem in adolescence and later mental health, substance use, and life and relationship outcomes in adulthood. The investigation analyzed data from a birth cohort of approximately 1,000 New Zealand young adults studied to the age of 25. Lower levels of self-esteem at age 15 were associated with greater risks of mental health problems, substance dependence, and lower levels of life and relationship satisfaction at ages 18, 21, and 25. Adjustment for potentially confounding factors reduced the strength of these associations to either moderate or statistically nonsignificant levels. It was concluded that the effects of self-esteem during adolescence on later developmental outcomes were weak, and largely explained by the psychosocial context within which self-esteem develops.

Education Process

Education and health are mutually dependent. If the child is not healthy, then he or she cannot be educated due to increased absenteeism. If the child is a failure in school, lack of self-esteem affects health and the relationship to the family and community. School health programs exist to support the education process. Most schools require that these programs be directed by a physician. Because of his or her training and interest in school children, the pediatrician thus takes on the responsibility of planning a school health program or acting as a liaison between the school, the child, and the family.1 SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM Administration and Planning

The Relationship

The chapter examines the relationship between creativity and human development from birth to eighteen years of age. The chapter begins by describing several fundamental developmental theories, including Sigmund Freud's psychosexual stages of development, Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory, and Jean Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development. Lev Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development Theory is also explored. The use of creativity in these theories and the relationship between these theories and creativity is also explored. After these theories are discussed, the importance of creativity will be highlighted by examining how creativity is developed, impacts cognitive, and social-emotional development in childhood. Creativity development is linked to pretend play, and it is important for parents to help nurture their child in an appropriate manner. Finally, this chapter explores how stimulating a child's divergent thinking in early life will have a host of benefits in later life.

The Relationship

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The influence of marketing on addictive behaviours has been studied among tobacco and alcohol users. Although the fashion industry is highly influenced by marketing, research has poorly studied vulnerability to fashion marketing as a factor related to buying-shopping disorder (BSD) while considering psychological characteristics (buying motives, impulsivity, and self-esteem). <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The objective of the present work is to investigate the relationship between vulnerability to marketing and BSD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Women (<i>n</i> = 242) were exclusively recruited through social networking. They completed an online survey exploring the severity of BSD using the <i>Compulsive Buying Scale</i> (CBS) and the psychological factors associated with BSD (impulsivity, self-esteem, and buying motives) and an experimental task designed to investigate the intention to purchase in several situations, where marketing modalities such as price, brand, and packaging fluctuate. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among the 242 participants in the study, 34 were identified as compulsive buyers (14%). Income level was considered, and compulsive buyers displayed a higher level of vulnerability to marketing, except for the packaging modality. High levels of positive urgency, lack of premeditation, and coping motivation were found to be significant predictors of the CBS score, but vulnerability to marketing was not. <b><i>Discussion and Conclusions:</i></b> Compulsive buyers seem to be more sensitive to marketing strategies, although vulnerability to marketing was not identified as a predictor of the severity of BSD. Given the enormous literature on the role of marketing in other addictive behaviours, further studies are needed to better understand the role of marketing in BSD to develop appropriate public health policies.
