This potential is the result of the interaction of various interrelated factors, namely genetic factors, bio-physical-psycho-social environment and behavior. The unique process and different end results give each child its own characteristics. This research uses a critical review method by reading various books, journals, or other publications related to the research topic discussed by comparing research methods, processing methods, and the results obtained from each article. The research results show that language development in late childhood can be seen from speech progress such as increasing vocabulary, forming sentences and pronunciation. In late childhood, language development reaches a higher level. Children are able to use more complex sentences. Emotional development in late childhood involves various changes and existence caused by learning experiences and self-understanding.

Early childhood plays an important role in forming the basis of development, which involves stimulation of various aspects such as moral religious values, social emotional, language, cognitive, and physical motor skills. The concept of early childhood learning is focused on play, where every activity is designed to be play, so that learning becomes more effective. Parents also need to understand today's children's education to interact with children positively. This research focuses on sentiment analysis of children's education-based app reviews on the Google Play Store, using Random Forest and Logistic Regression methods. The review data is taken from three apps with the theme of child development, namely "About Kids", "PrimaKu", and "Teman Bumil", with a range of review years between 2018 and 2023. The test results show that Logistic Regression has higher accuracy compared to Random Forest, especially in the "About Kids" and "PrimaKu" applications with accuracy above 90%. The conclusion of this research highlights the importance of sentiment analysis in improving understanding of user responses to children's education applications, with suggestions for future research to increase the number of datasets and variations in testing schemes by tuning hyperparameters to improve prediction accuracy and more optimal results.

Children's education is a critical aspect in shaping the future of society. This article discusses the importance of learning with children as an effective way to enhance their educational experience. Holistic learning is an educational approach that recognizes that a child's development is not limited to academic achievement only, but involves other aspects such as physical, emotional and social interactions. The main goal of holistic education is to develop children as a whole, including life skills, values and deep understanding of themselves and their surroundings. This activity is carried out through active and collaborative interaction. Adults have an important role in creating a constructive learning environment, stimulating creativity, and developing positive emotional relationships. Joint activities such as reading books, simple experiments, and listening to music can be effective media for facilitating intellectual and social growth for young children. This learning is carried out by including elements of play and fun, which can stimulate the curiosity of young children and stimulate their willingness to learn. This “Sinau Bareng” activity shows that learning together with children can increase their intrinsic motivation, as well as form a solid character foundation for future academic achievements.  

Abstract. Development is a pattern of changes experienced by an individual from the time they are still in the womb until a certain period of life.  Development generally involves growth (progress) but at certain times it will involve aging.  This development is the result of the maturity process and learning experiences of each individual.  Development is closely related to tempo and rhythm, it is integral to it.  Individuals who experience development can be marked by certain characteristics, but it is not uncommon for individuals to be less aware of the changes that have occurred to them.  This research uses a critical review method, which involves careful examination and evaluation of various sources of information, such as scientific journals, articles and other media.  The main aim of this approach is to improve the reader’s understanding and interpretation skills in the context of prenatal, early childhood and child development psychology while offering a critical assessment of the material reviewed.  In addition, a critical review requires identifying important topics in the literature, analyzing the methodology used, and evaluating the strengths and limitations of the sources studied.  In development, there is a pattern of changes experienced by individuals from the time they are still in the womb up to a certain period of life. In a child’s life there are two processes that have the potential to be continuous, namely growth and development. In this case, both processes have stages, including moral and spiritual stages.

This research discusses complex problems in child development psychology, especially those experienced in the family environment. Difficulty in educating children who do not meet expectations can hinder growth and development according to their age. The family environment has a crucial role as a good educator, meeting standards as a necessity for parents. Failure in this case has a serious impact on the psychology of child development, because of the close relationship between parents and children to support their future. The importance of the family environment, especially the role of parents, as the first education for child development psychology is the main focus of this research. The child's development process in language, physical-motor and emotional aspects requires critical support from the family environment as capital for the child's future life. Early childhood experiences a vulnerable phase called the Golden Age, where their development experiences a significant spike and does not repeat itself in the following age period.

Child development includes physical, intellectual, social, linguistic, emotional, moral and religious aspects, all of which are integrated into one whole. This research describes the complexity of an individual's life personality development, distinguishing from various main aspects, including physical and motoric, intellectual, social, language, emotional, moral and religious. The findings from this research provide in-depth insight into how the family environment can play a critical role in shaping a child's development, with major implications for that individual's well-being and future.
