This study aims to describe the forms of emotional trauma experienced by adolescent victims of verbal violence in Tuntungan Village 1. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method on three adolescents who were purposively selected based on their experiences of verbal violence in their family environment. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive picture of the psychological condition of the research subjects. The obtained data were then analyzed descriptively qualitatively through the processes of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that verbal violence has a significant impact on the emotional health of adolescents, including decreased learning motivation, the emergence of withdrawal behavior from social environments, and the loss of a sense of security and comfort within the family. In addition, harsh, demeaning, and repetitive family communication patterns form a negative self-concept in adolescents, which has the potential to affect personality development and social relationships in the future. The findings of this study emphasize the important role of families, schools, and communities in creating a supportive environment, as well as the need for preventive efforts and psychosocial interventions to prevent and address emotional trauma in adolescents on an ongoing basis.

This study aims to explore in depth the impact of Islamic parenting on the development of disciplinary character in early childhood. Conceptually, parenting in Islam is understood as a child-rearing method based on Islamic principles, emphasizing values of role modeling, love, responsibility, and moral development from an early age. Through this approach, parents serve as the first and foremost educators in instilling the values of discipline reflected in children’s daily behavior, both within the family and in social interactions. This research analyzes various ways Islamic parenting is applied in daily activities, including the habit of performing prayers on time, managing schedules for study and play, and implementing educational consequences in accordance with Islamic principles. The findings reveal that the consistent application of Islamic parenting patterns, combined with effective communication between parents and children, has a positive effect on the development of children’s disciplinary character. Children raised under Islamic parenting tend to have an awareness of obeying rules, valuing time, and taking responsibility for their duties and obligations. Conversely, the study also identifies challenges stemming from parents’ limited understanding of Islamic parenting concepts, as well as external environmental influences such as digital media and peer interactions that are not always aligned with Islamic values. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve literacy regarding Islamic parenting through educational activities involving early childhood education institutions, religious study groups, and parent communities. In general, the findings of this study highlight the importance of collaboration among families, schools, and communities in consistently applying Islamic parenting principles to foster children’s disciplinary character from an early age in accordance with Islamic teachings.

Strengthening the family economy through the development of productive household-based businesses is an important strategy in supporting sustainable rural community development. This approach is considered effective because it utilizes the potential of local resources and involves the active role of family members, especially housewives, in economic activities. One form of business that is relatively easy to implement is the production of hygienic laundry soap, considering the simple manufacturing process, affordable production costs, and has a relatively stable level of market need and demand. These conditions make this business an opportunity to be developed as a productive household economic activity. This study aims to analyze the implementation of home-based hygienic laundry soap production training and examine its impact on improving the skills and economic independence of housewives in Jambur Village, Padang Matinggi . The focus of the study is directed at the training process, the level of understanding of participants, and changes in attitudes and economic capabilities after participating in the activity. The approach used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method, which allows researchers to obtain an in-depth picture of the program implementation and participants' experiences. Data collection techniques are carried out through direct observation, interviews with participants and related parties, and documentation of activities to support research data. The research results show that the training on making hygienic laundry soap had a positive impact on improving the knowledge and skills of housewives in producing safe, hygienic, and marketable soap. Participants not only understood the production stages but also learned how to make soap independently. Furthermore, the training fostered entrepreneurial motivation and awareness of home-based business opportunities, thereby opening up opportunities to increase family income. Therefore, this training program significantly contributes to women's empowerment and strengthening family economies at the village level through the development of productive, home-based businesses.

Strengthening family-based microenterprises is one strategic approach to improving the economic resilience and independence of local communities. Family microenterprises not only serve as a source of income, but also as an important instrument in maintaining the social and economic stability of households. This study aims to describe the conditions of family-based microenterprises, identify obstacles to their development, and formulate strategies for optimizing family economics in Neighborhood I of Padangmatinggi Village, Padangsidimpuan City. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies. Research informants include family micro-business actors, village officials, and other related parties. The results show that family-based micro-businesses have a real contribution to increasing household income and meeting basic family needs. However, business development still faces limitations in capital, low financial literacy, limited product innovation, and minimal marketing access. Therefore, an integrated development strategy is needed that includes increasing human resource capacity, facilitating access to financing, utilizing digital technology, and institutional support from the local government to realize the sustainability of family micro-businesses.

The rise of online gambling has become an urgent social issue among South Tangerang adults, with Indonesia occupying the highest position as an online gambling user globally. This qualitative case study aims to explore the factors that cause adult involvement in online gambling, the recovery process of individuals experiencing addiction, and the role of local stakeholders in efforts to overcome it. The findings of the study revealed five main factors, namely the influence of friendships, situational pressure due to aggressive marketing, early winning experiences, misperceptions of winning strategies, and overconfidence in personal abilities. Recovery efforts undertaken by individuals include transformation of mindset, restriction of negative associations, elimination of access to online gambling platforms, increased spiritual engagement, and participation in productive activities. Meanwhile, stakeholders play a role through community education, collaboration with religious and community leaders, public awareness campaigns, and the provision of family counseling. However, this study found that there is no sustainable structured rehabilitation program. Therefore, this study recommends the development of comprehensive social intervention strategies involving professional psychological support and stronger enforcement of regulations to effectively address online gambling addiction.

This community service activity in the form of assistance aims to enhance the capacity of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of Magelang City as a legislative body in formulating gender-responsive regulations through the drafting of the Regional Regulation on Gender Mainstreaming (Raperda PUG). This activity represents a commitment to supporting the development of regional regulations that are responsive to gender equality issues and provide legal certainty in achieving gender-inclusive national development, as mandated by Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2000 on Gender Mainstreaming in National Development (Inpres No. 9/2000). To achieve broader gender equality—in family, community, national, and state life—it is necessary to implement gender mainstreaming strategies within national development, one of which is through the formulation of regional regulations. The assistance was carried out in two stages, namely preparation and implementation. The output of this activity consists of analyses and recommendations on the Raperda PUG, covering sociological and juridical aspects, which were presented both orally and in written form to the Special Committee II (Pansus II) of the DPRD of Magelang City.

This parenting seminar was designed to increase parents' capacity to understand and implement integrative holistic parenting, encompassing education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial aspects of children. An integrative holistic approach is considered important because child growth and development are influenced not only by formal education but also by health conditions, adequate nutrition, and emotional and social support from the family environment. This activity aims to provide comprehensive education to parents so they can carry out their parenting role optimally and sustainably. The activity was implemented using an interactive seminar method involving the delivery of material by competent speakers in the fields of childcare, education, and health, accompanied by discussions and a question-and-answer session that encouraged active participant participation. The material presented focused on understanding the concept of integrative holistic parenting, strategies for implementing positive parenting patterns, and the role of parents in supporting children's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in parents' knowledge, understanding, and attitudes regarding the importance of comprehensive and integrated parenting. Parents became more aware of their role as key figures in shaping character and optimizing children's potential from an early age. This seminar made a real contribution in equipping parents to be able to create a healthy, safe, and supportive parenting environment. This activity is expected to become a model for developing parental capacity in a sustainable manner with an integrative holistic approach as the key to successful child growth and development.

Gender equality in the religious sphere in Indonesia is a complex phenomenon, shaped by the interaction between theological doctrines, institutional practices, and the socio-cultural context of each tradition. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature review to analyze six major religions in Indonesia: Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Hindu Dharma, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The analysis focuses on three main dimensions: theological perspectives regarding gender roles and positions, social changes influencing gender relations, and transformations in institutional structures and practices that support gender equality. The findings indicate that historically, women were often placed in subordinate positions due to patriarchal norms, although the core teachings of these religions contain egalitarian principles and recognition of women’s dignity. Contemporary transformations are reflected in the reinterpretation of religious texts and practices that promote gender equality: Catholicism emphasizes the recognition of women’s dignity within the clerical hierarchy; Protestantism opens opportunities for the ordination of female pastors; Islam reinterprets the principles of Qawwamun and family law rights; Balinese Hindu Dharma adjusts women’s roles in rituals and public spheres; Buddhism revives the bhikkhuni order within the sangha; and Confucianism modernizes the interpretation of Wu Lun and San Cong to emphasize mutual responsibilities between husband and wife. In conclusion, despite persistent patriarchal challenges, this study affirms that religion has the potential to act as an agent of social transformation promoting gender equality while maintaining the moral, spiritual, and traditional values distinctive to each tradition. These findings contribute significantly to academic literature, interfaith dialogue, and the development of more gender-inclusive policies.

The development of the digital world has brought significant changes to various aspects of people's lives, including the family economy. Digitalization opens up new opportunities for economic activity, particularly through the use of social media, marketplace platforms, and digital financial services. However, many people still lack adequate digital literacy and are therefore unable to optimally utilize this technology to increase family income. This community service activity aims to improve the community's digital literacy and encourage the use of digital technology as a means of sustainably increasing family income. The implementation method includes providing training on the basics of digital literacy, digital-based entrepreneurial mentoring, and hands-on practice in using social media as a promotional tool, marketplaces as sales channels, and digital financial services to support business transactions. The results of the activity indicate an increase in public understanding of the use of digital technology, a change in a more adaptive entrepreneurial mindset, and the emergence of various digital-based business initiatives. The use of digital technology has been proven to open new economic opportunities and make a positive contribution to increasing family income.

This Community Service Program (PKM) was conducted with the primary objective of enhancing understanding, awareness, and skills among youth in Parangloe District in preventing drug abuse. Drug abuse has become one of the greatest threats to the development of young generations in Indonesia, including in Parangloe District, which has begun to show indicators of increasing risk. This activity focused on education-based prevention efforts and youth empowerment through a peer educator approach, whereby youth were trained to become agents capable of disseminating information and positive influence within their communities. The program was implemented through a series of socialization sessions, seminars, interactive discussions, and peer youth training. The materials provided covered understanding various types of drugs, causal factors of abuse, health impacts, social and legal consequences, and prevention strategies applicable at the family, school, and community levels. The results demonstrated increased participant knowledge, formation of Peer Youth Groups Concerned with Anti-Drug Efforts, and growing commitment to undertake sustainable prevention measures. This PKM activity had a significant impact on strengthening social resilience in Parangloe District and building an active role for youth as pioneers of the anti-drug movement.

The authority of the Religious Courts in Indonesia has undergone substantial transformation since the enactment of the 1974 Marriage Law, which serves as a foundational milestone in harmonizing the national legal system on family matters. Prior to this legislation, the jurisdiction of the Religious Courts was limited and influenced by legal dualism among customary law, Islamic law, and Western civil law inherited from the colonial period. This article examines how the Marriage Law initiated a shift in the structure and legitimacy of the Religious Courts and how their jurisdictional expansion reached a more comprehensive form through Law No. 7 of 1989 on Religious Courts and its subsequent amendments under Law No. 3 of 2006 and Law No. 50 of 2009. Using a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes statutory regulations, academic literature, and Islamic legal doctrines. The findings show that the Marriage Law provided the initial legal foundation for strengthening the Religious Courts' authority in handling family disputes, which was later expanded significantly to include inheritance, wills, grants, endowments (wakaf), alms (zakat), charitable donations (infaq and sadaqah), and Islamic economic matters during the legal reform era. This transformation not only reinforced the institutional structure of the Religious Courts but also improved access to justice for Muslim communities and supported the integration of Islamic law into Indonesia’s national legal framework. Therefore, the development of the Religious Courts’ authority after the Marriage Law reflects the dynamic modernization of the legal system and the harmonization between religious values and the rule of law in Indonesia.

The pluralistic development of Indonesian national law creates a dynamic relationship between national civil law and customary law, including in the context of resolving inheritance disputes in Chinese families who adhere to patrilineal traditions. Supreme Court Decision No. 1204 K/Pdt/2024 shows that there is a tension between legal certainty under the Civil Code and substantive justice originating from living law. This research aims to analyze the judge's interpretation of family documents as a basis for inheritance rejection, inheritance sharing mechanisms that ignore Chinese customary norms, and their implications for legal pluralism in Indonesia. The method used is normative juridical with a case study approach and a descriptive-analytical legislative approach, using literature studies of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The results showed that the ruling applied neither the Civil Code nor the principle of Chinese customary inheritance consistently. The family declaration on which the judge relied was not actually a refusal of inheritance, but an internal agreement granting authority to the testator. Moreover, the distribution of inheritance carried out is not in accordance with the principle of patrilineal custom which places the eldest son as the recipient of the largest share. This finding shows the weak application of legal pluralism (weak legal pluralism) and reveals the gap between das sollen and das sein, so it is necessary to strengthen the role of judges in exploring the traditional values that live in society.

The increasing number of children facing the law in Indonesia indicates that the repressive legal approach has not been fully effective in addressing juvenile crime. Children, as subjects of law, have social and psychological characteristics that differ from adults, so law enforcement against them must consider humanitarian and educational aspects. This research aims to analyze the factors causing children to commit criminal acts and formulate a model for addressing them based on developing a legal culture rooted in Pancasila values. This research employs a normative juridical method with conceptual and legislative approaches, and analyzes data qualitatively thru literature review and positive legal norms. The research findings indicate that the causes of children committing criminal acts are multidimensional, encompassing family factors, social environment, education, economics, and psychological factors. Therefore, mitigation efforts cannot be done partially, but must be thru a preventive, educational, and restorative approach. This research offers a model for overcoming challenges thru the development of a legal culture based on five main pillars: family, education, society, the state, and the legal system. This model emphasizes the importance of synergy between law enforcement and moral development in accordance with the values of Divinity, Humanity, Unity, Deliberation, and Social Justice. Thus, the development of Pancasila legal culture is expected to realize a child criminal justice system that is humanistic, substantively just, and oriented toward social rehabilitation in accordance with the legal ideals of a Pancasila state of law.

This Community Service Program (PkM) aims to enhance character, life skills, and family capacity in supporting youth development in Parangloe District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. The family entrepreneurship training activity was conducted through an educational approach, skills training, family workshops, and structured mentoring by involving youth as agents of change. Implementation methods included material presentations on the dangers of drugs, socialization of youth-family collaboration, exposition of entrepreneurship concepts, and hands-on practice in making handicrafts (mini brooches from felt fabric). The activity results demonstrated increased knowledge and understanding among youth regarding positive character values such as discipline, responsibility, and effective communication. Skills training had a significant impact on youth abilities in critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity development. Family empowerment through parenting pattern workshops yielded positive outcomes in parent-child relationships. This program is expected to serve as a model for human resource development at the local level and can be replicated in other regions to create a young generation with excellent character and competitive edge.

Malang Regency is known as a strategic location with considerable potential as a tourism destination in Indonesia. According to data released by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Malang Regency has recorded 267 tourist destinations spread across 33 districts. This study uses data from one water tourism destination, referred to as Tourism Site X, which focuses on the management and development of recreational areas, including swimming pools, bathing facilities, water attractions, artificial lakes, as well as the management of recreational parks and family facilities such as playgrounds, seating areas, and recreational and educational facilities. Tourism Site X is located in Pakis District, Malang Regency. The reuse of treated wastewater as a non-potable water source for irrigating green open spaces represents a crucial strategic approach to conserving water resources, particularly in water tourism areas such as Tourism Site X, which require substantial water supplies. In practice, the wastewater generated in Tourism Site X mainly originates from domestic sources, including activities such as cleaning swimming pool areas and animal enclosures, toilet usage, and food court operations. This study aims to assess whether the quality of treated wastewater from the wastewater treatment process at Tourism Site X complies with the required standards for green open space irrigation, in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Environment/Environmental Control Agency of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2025 concerning Wastewater Quality Standards and Wastewater Treatment Technologies for Domestic Wastewater, as well as to identify parameters that need to be reduced or eliminated.

This community service program was initiated in response to the need to strengthen collaboration between parents and schools in fostering character development and noble morals among elementary school students. The main issue addressed was the lack of structured and sustainable educational collaboration between parents and the school in supporting character-building practices. The program aimed to develop a participatory and reflective collaboration model through a systematic parenting initiative. A qualitative participatory approach based on community engagement was employed, consisting of needs assessment, joint discussion and planning, parenting program design, workshops and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), mentoring and monitoring, as well as evaluation and reflection. The results highlight significant improvements in two-way communication between parents and teachers, increased collective awareness of the family’s strategic role in character education, and the establishment of a regular communication forum as a new social structure within the school community. Positive changes were also observed in parenting practices, including the implementation of positive discipline and empathetic communication at home aligned with school values. The emergence of local parent leaders further strengthened program sustainability. Overall, the participatory educational collaboration model proved effective in promoting social transformation and reinforcing sustainable character and moral development among students.

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to improve the quality of youth and strengthen the role of families in youth development through structured socialization and training programs in Parangloe District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. The formation of an excellent generation requires active and synergistic roles among youth, families, and the social environment. Families hold a strategic position as the primary space for character formation, while youth need proper guidance to develop their potential optimally and responsibly. The program was implemented through a series of socialization activities, seminars, interactive discussions, and training sessions involving youth, families, community leaders, sub-district government officials, and facilitators from educational institutions. Through a collaborative socialization and training approach, the activities successfully enhanced participants’ understanding of the importance of effective communication, positive parenting, and the strengthening of character values within family life. The results indicate increased participant knowledge regarding the roles of youth and families, the establishment of supportive collaboration, and the growth of commitment to creating a conducive environment for youth development. This program represents an important step in preparing a generation in Parangloe District that is strong in character, adaptive, competitive, and capable of contributing positively to future community development.

Heritage language loss among immigrant and diaspora communities represents a critical challenge to cultural identity, intergenerational communication, and cognitive diversity. Traditional heritage language maintenance approaches face significant barriers including limited resources, lack of qualified instructors, geographic dispersion, and competing demands of dominant language acquisition. This study investigates the effectiveness of bilingual digital story applications as innovative tools for heritage language maintenance among children aged 4-12 years. Through a 24-month longitudinal mixed-methods study involving 1,843 families across eight language communities (Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Hindi, and Polish), we examined language proficiency development, cultural identity formation, family engagement patterns, and app usage behaviors. Quantitative analysis of pre- and post-intervention language assessments revealed statistically significant improvements in heritage language vocabulary (effect size d=0.68), listening comprehension (d=0.54), and oral production (d=0.47) among children using bilingual story apps for at least 20 minutes daily. Qualitative findings from parent interviews and child focus groups highlighted the apps' role in making heritage language learning enjoyable, facilitating parent-child interaction, connecting children to cultural narratives, and normalizing bilingualism. However, effectiveness varied substantially based on app design features, with interactive elements, culturally authentic content, parent involvement scaffolds, and adaptive difficulty showing strongest associations with outcomes. This research demonstrates that thoughtfully designed bilingual story apps can serve as accessible, scalable tools for heritage language maintenance, though they function most effectively as complements to rather than substitutes for rich home language environments and community connections. The study contributes empirical evidence to inform app development, family language planning, and policies supporting linguistic diversity in increasingly globalized societies.

This study explores the roles of innovation and perseverance as critical success factors for young entrepreneurs in the fried chicken business through an in-depth case study of Fried Chicken Smile, located in Medan Tembung Subdistrict. The research focuses on how young entrepreneurs are able to survive and grow in a highly competitive culinary market dominated by global brands such as KFC. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with business owners and employees, direct field observations, and documentation analysis. The study is supported by several theoretical perspectives, including Grit Theory, which emphasizes perseverance and passion for long-term goals; Entrepreneurial Behavior Theory, which explains proactive and adaptive business behavior; and Schumpeter’s Innovation Theory, which highlights innovation as a driver of competitive advantage. The findings indicate that business success is influenced by continuous product innovation, particularly through adapting menu flavors to local tastes, maintaining consistent operational quality, and implementing effective digital marketing strategies via social media platforms. In addition, strong social support from family, peers, and local communities plays a significant role in sustaining entrepreneurial motivation. Overall, the study demonstrates that the combination of innovation, persistence, and social capital enhances competitiveness and supports the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). These findings provide valuable insights for the development of young entrepreneurship in Indonesia’s dynamic culinary sector.

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly influenced the lives of young children, affecting their cognitive, social, and emotional development. However, this advancement also presents challenges for parents in guiding their children to avoid the negative impacts of digital exposure. This article aims to explain the importance of digital literacy for parents, identify the main challenges they face in managing children’s technology use, and offer effective strategies for digital parenting. The method used is a literature review based on recent academic sources. The findings show that parents’ digital literacy plays a crucial role in shaping healthy digital behavior in early childhood. Parents with high levels of digital literacy can act as filters, facilitators, and role models in using technology wisely. Collaboration among families, educational institutions, and the government is also necessary to create a safe and supportive digital environment for children’s optimal development.
