Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, where individuals begin to question the phenomena that occur around them to form self-worth. One of the phenomena that is developing among adolescents is the hedonistic lifestyle, which is increasingly influenced by advances in technology and social media. In this lifestyle, the search for instant pleasure becomes the main goal, which often encourages adolescents to pursue pleasure without considering the long-term impacts. Social media, which displays a glamorous lifestyle and unrealistic standards of pleasure, plays a major role in influencing adolescents' consumer behavior and desire to follow certain trends. This phenomenon is influenced by social factors, family environment, and technological advances, which create behavioral patterns that are more oriented towards instant pleasure. The impacts are seen in social, mental, and educational aspects, such as reduced deep emotional relationships between adolescents, mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, and decreased motivation to learn that can interfere with their academic development. However, a hedonistic lifestyle can also encourage creativity and the development of social skills. This study aims to explore more deeply the causal factors, impacts, and challenges that arise due to changes in the hedonistic lifestyle among adolescents, as well as efforts to overcome its negative impacts through character education and the formation of a supportive social environment.

This research examines the formulation of restorative justice-based law enforcement policies for children in conflict with law, focusing on the development and implementation challenges within the juvenile justice system. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study analyzes current policy frameworks, implementation practices, and systemic challenges through comprehensive literature review, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and focus group discussions with legal practitioners and child protection experts. The findings reveal that while the legal framework for restorative justice exists, implementation faces significant challenges including limited understanding among law enforcement officers, inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient inter-agency coordination. The study also identifies successful practices and proposes a comprehensive policy framework that emphasizes capacity building, institutional strengthening, and community engagement. This research contributes to the development of more effective and child-centered approaches in juvenile justice systems, providing practical recommendations for policy makers and law enforcement agencies in implementing restorative justice principles for children in conflict with law.

Early childhood is experiencing a period of very rapid growth and development. Children's health and nutrition greatly affect the growth and development process. Therefore, health care and nutrition are very much needed to optimize children's development. In general, maintaining children's health which aims to prevent children from contracting a disease, which can interfere with children's learning and intelligence, can be done through: a) maintaining children's personal hygiene and their environment, b) timely immunization, c) maintaining the types of food consumed by children. Children's health care is also adjusted to the child's development. The intensity of health services provided to infants is certainly higher than that of children. This is because at the age of infants, they cannot be independent and still need full assistance from adults. While at the age of children, they must be accustomed and trained to be independent in maintaining personal health with light activities (with parental supervision). As educators, they are required to be able to provide behavioral stimuli and knowledge about how to maintain health in children. Efforts to maintain children's health begin with implementing clean and healthy living habits in everyday life

Toxoplasma gondi is a pervasive parasite that causes a variety of diseases both in humans and animals, it infects the neural cells of the central nervous system. There have been previous reports linking this infection with Autism. Autism is a combination of complex neurodevelopmental disorders leading to alteration in social communication. This study was done to detect the frequency of seropositive Toxoplasmosis in Autistic children attending psychiatric units in Azady Teaching Hospital in Kirkuk governorate-Iraq. This case-control study was done on 40 Autistic children (30 male, 10 female) with an average age of 5.4±6 years and 40 healthy children (8 male, 32 female) with the same age range (6.1±2) year, from April 2018- January 2020. Sample collection was done by obtaining four ml of blood from all study group children for the detection of both IgM and IgG Toxoplasma gondi antibodies using the ELISA technique. Chi-square and paired T-tests were used for data analysis. The IgM serology for both Autistic and control children was negative while there was just one positive result of T.gondi IgG in Autistic Children and two positive results in normal children which made the result insignificant( X2=0.45, p-value>0.05). Regarding gender, there was no significant difference in detecting positive results between boys and girls of the study groups (X2=0.45 p value> 0.05). The study also demonstrated that Autistic Parents were statistically older than healthy children of the same age. We couldn't uncover any connection between ASD and toxoplasmosis. The age of parents & family history has a significant impact on the development of ASD.

Most of the children show good mastery of fine motor skills as measured through the activity of putting together geometric puzzles, although there is still one child who needs more attention.

Stunting is a condition of impaired child growth due to chronic malnutrition during the 1,000 First Days of Life (HPK), affecting physical, cognitive, and social development. In Indonesia, stunting remains a major challenge, particularly among toddlers. Providing appropriate Complementary Feeding (MP-ASI) for children aged 6-24 months is key to prevention. This article discusses an educational program for stunting prevention through the development of MP-ASI menus in Saringembat Village. The program aims to increase community awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition through three main stages: determining MP-ASI menus, preparing educational materials, and conducting socialization and MP-ASI-making practices. The menus are divided into three age groups (6-8 months, 9-12 months, and over 12 months) using local ingredients such as catfish, spinach, and potatoes.The results show increased community understanding, the effectiveness of using local ingredients, and the success of hands-on practice. A final evaluation quiz indicated that most participants understood the concept of MP-ASI and stunting prevention. This program is expected to continue to help reduce stunting rates and create a healthier generation.

One of the aspects that assist the adequacy of child development is parents' support. One of the factors that influence the development of toddlers is stimulation. Stimulation is trigger that comes from the child's external environment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between maternal stimulation and the development of pre-school children aged 3-5 years. This research is a correlational analytic study with a cross sectional approach. They were taken using a complete sampling approach on a population of 30 persons and a sample of 30 people. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The frequency distribution is used for univariate data analysis, and the Fisher’s Exact Test alternative is used for bivariate data analysis. The result showed that 22 mothers provided good stimulation and 8 mothers gave less stimulation. From the results of the KPSP, it showed that there were 20 children with appropriate development, 4 children with doubts, and 6 children with deviations. Based on the Fisher’s Exact Test alternative, it was known that the P value is 0.000 with α 0.05. Because the significance value is <α, then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, indicating that there is a correlation between stimulation and the development of pre-school children aged 3-5 years in KB RA Umi Sundari Kraksaan, Probolinggo Regency. It is hoped that the results of this study would help parents who have children give adequate stimulation for their children's growth.
