The toddler period is a golden period that determines the rate of growth and development of toddlers both physically, mentally and emotionally. Assessment of nutritional status Assessment of nutritional status of toddlers using standard and measurable parameters can be used as a monitoring item for nutritional problems in toddlers. This study aims to describe the findings based on research data conducted in 2021 on 96 toddlers in the working area of the Ranomuut Public Health Center, Manado City, North Sulawesi Province. Primary anthropometric and age data were collected on toddlers 6-24 months and obtained data that 26% of toddlers have nutritional status in the poor category (<2SD) and 74% of them have nutritional status in the good category (? -2 SD to +2SD). Even though there is no urgency found in the results of this study, the conclusions of the research need to be published, and it is hoped that this can be used as a reference for future research.  

The background of this research is to see teenagers who always use gadgets both in study and at other times. Apart from that, the purpose of this research is to analyze the use of devices among adolescents and see the spiritual growth of adolescents. The results of this study will take teenagers longer to play with gadgets than pray and read the Bible. More teenagers before going to bed find time to turn on the device to open social media and other applications and forget to pray and on time to wake up is the first th ing teenagers do is open the device which makes them forget to pray. The use of gadgets always has an impact on the development of adolescent behavior, because gadgets have a variety of interesting and flexible features and applications so that they can add to the attractiveness of everyone, especially among teenagers. Excessive use of gadgets is more likely to have a negative impact on adolescent behavior including irritability, lazy learning, and even immoral acts. Therefore it is hoped that parents will always supervise the use of gadgets in adolescents, where adolescents must be able to operate gadgets properly and know the benefits of gadgets so that deviant behavior does not occur. The consequence of this research is that parents play a role in helping and guiding their children in dividing their time in playing gadgets and reading and investigating God's word so that the spiritual level of youth can increase. Christian Religious Teachers also have a role in directing teenagers to increase spiritual growth.

With the development of times and technology, humans have created tools that make it easier for humans to communicate with each other, including gadgets. Gadgets are one of the technologies that humans really need to communicate with other people. All technology has negative and positive impacts, in this case the role of parents greatly determines the impact that gadget technology has on a child's personality or morals. Children's dependence on playing gadgets cannot be separated from the role of both parents. In this modern era, parents should be smarter in introducing technology to their children. This study aims to analyze the influence that gadgets have on children's personality or morals and how parents deal with this rapidly increasing technology. The research method used is observation, documentation and interviews. Theoretically, this research is expected to add to the repertoire of social science and technology, especially sociology in the family.

Ibn Khaldun's thoughts on the philosophy of Islamic education reflect his valuable contribution in understanding the role of education in the formation and advancement of civilization. In his famous work, "Muqaddimah," Ibn Khaldun expresses a rich and relevant view of education in the Islamic context. Ibn Khaldun considers education as an important element in the formation of individual character and civilization. For him, Islamic education must include moral, ethical, and spiritual dimensions. Ibnu Khaldun argues that early education has a central role in forming the foundation of social life, and emphasizes the importance of providing good education to children from an early age. Apart from early education, Ibn Khaldun also recognized the importance of formal education in forming educated individuals. He recognized the value of knowledge and expertise in community development, and suggested that educational institutions such as madrasas and universities should provide knowledge that is scientific and skill-based. However, Ibn Khaldun also stressed the importance of experiential education in Islamic thought and understanding. He emphasizes that direct experience in social and political interactions brings a deeper understanding of the dynamics of society. According to him, this experience enables individuals to gain wisdom and contextual understanding which is crucial in understanding and applying Islamic teachings in everyday life. In his thoughts, Ibn Khaldun made education a means to achieve social justice and progress of civilization. He recognized the importance of acquiring knowledge and skills, but also emphasized the need for solid moral and spiritual education. For him, Islamic education must combine religious teachings with scientific understanding and practical experience to create individuals who are committed to the good and benefit of humanity.    

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in infants that occurs during a critical period of the process of growth and development in the womb and during the initial period after the baby is born. It is not only affected the physical growth of the baby but also the brain. The purpose of this research was to determine the factors associated with the stunting prevalence among the children under five years old of age in Jetis 1 Primary Health Care Center, Bantul. The research method is quantitative, case control research design with retrospective approach. The data analysis methods were chi-square and logistic regression. The results of this research were some factors could be associated with stunting prevalence. The factors were the history of exclusive breastfeeding (p: 0.037 or: 0.253) and the nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy (p: 0.001 or: 5.634). Meanwhile, gender (p: 0.153), history of birth weight (p: 0.677) and mother's education (p: 0.127) were found to have no relationship with stunting prevalence. It is expected that the mothers of children under five years old can prepare for pregnancy in the future by calculating nutritional intake before and during pregnancy and provide exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months.

Indonesia is still facing major challenges in the field of nutrition. Lack of nutritional intake is a type of nutritional problem that can cause disturbances in the growth and development of children, so efforts are needed to be made to overcome them. Specific nutrition interventions have been shown to reduce nutritional problems through supplementation and fortification interventions, supporting exclusive breastfeeding, counseling about children's diets, and providing additional food. This study aims to identify specific interventions that have been carried out in addressing under-five nutritional problems using qualitative methods using non-probability sampling techniques. Data was collected through in-depth interviews. The results showed specific nutrition interventions, namely toddler interventions (monitoring toddlers at posyandu, immunization, vitamin A, and PMT). Maternal intervention (pregnancy women's classes, PMT for pregnant women, nutrition and health seminars) and youth interventions (blood-boosting tablets/TTD program).      

This article describes the importance of youth education and development as an anticipatory measure to overcome the negative impact of poverty. This approach is based on the teaching and wisdom found in Proverbs 22:1-16 in the Bible. In this chapter of Proverbs, the author emphasises the importance of values such as wisdom, work ethics, and wise financial management. By practising these values, young people can build a strong foundation for their future, preventing them from being trapped in the cycle of poverty. Education is identified as one of the key aspects in preparing young people to face the challenges of poverty. A quality education provides the knowledge, skills and awareness needed to solve problems, improve well-being and achieve success in life. In addition, this article highlights the importance of helping young people develop a positive attitude towards work and enterprise. Having a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial skills can help young people overcome economic limitations and create new opportunities to improve their own lives and those of their communities. Wise financial management is also an important factor in preventing the negative impacts of poverty. Young people need to learn about budget management, smart investments, and the importance of saving. By having a good understanding of finance, they can avoid excessive debt and build a stable future. In order to realise effective education and development of young people, there needs to be cooperation between families, educational institutions and communities. Families should prioritise values that support their children's growth and success. Educational institutions should provide inclusive and relevant learning environments, while communities should provide support and opportunities for young people. By adopting this approach, we can anticipate and mitigate the negative impact of poverty on young people. Quality education, a strong work ethic and wise financial management can open the door to a better and more sustainable life for future generations.

Cow's milk allergy is defined as a reproducible adverse reaction to one or more cow's milk proteins (usually casein or serum -lactoglobulin). ASS is a type of food allergy with the highest incidence in children under three years old, where this age is a golden period in the growth and development of a child. The incidence of cow's milk allergy in the world is only 2-3%, but cow's milk allergy is a problematic health problem for children, because in its management children must eliminate cow's milk protein from their daily diet, including replacing formula milk which mostly contains cow's milk protein. . 54% of cow's milk allergy is mediated by IgE, and 46% is not mediated by IgE. IgE-mediated reactions occur within minutes or within an hour of ingestion of cow's milk (rapid reaction). Allergic symptoms associated with IgE reactions include urticaria, diarrhea, eczema, rhinitis, and anaphylaxis. Meanwhile, symptoms associated with non-IgE reactions (slow reactions) such as vomiting, constipation, hemosiderosis, malabsorption, villous atrophy, eosinophilic proctocolitis, enterocolitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis may occur after one hour of consumption of cow's milk.

Improving cognitive skills in early childhood is an important part of their development. An effective learning environment can be a means to that end. One type of learning media that can be used is loose parts. Looseparts is a term used to describe materials or objects that have certain properties and can be used creatively in children's play and learning. These materials are often available in a variety of sizes, shapes, textures, and flexibility, so that children can manipulate them, combine them, and use their imagination to create a variety of possibilities for play and exploration. Examples of looseparts are rocks, sand, branches, pieces of wood, leaves, paper, shells, rubber bands, rubber rings, ropes, boxes and other everyday objects. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the analysis of the needs of looseparts learning media in the implementation of improving early childhood cognitive skills, the data collection method in this study is by distributing questionnaire sheets, interviews and documentation. When children play with looseparts, they can develop various cognitive aspects such as categorization, problem solving, visualization, abstract thinking, spatial skills, and comprehension. It is important to give children time and space to freely explore the open passages so that they can develop cognitive skills in a natural and interesting way  

Natural material media is everything learning media that exists in the environment around us to support learning that is very easy and economical but can be used effectively and efficiently which is directly obtained from nature, natural materials that are used as learning media include: stones, branches, seeds, leaves, wood and other natural objects. Natural media becomes something effective and efficient if it is well optimized as material in learning and adjusted to the learning goals that will be achieved by children. One of them is in the development of numeracy and cognitive abilities of children. Natural media can help children develop numeracy skills and cognitive abilities, through various activities that involve critical thinking and problem solving such as counting, comparing, sorting, building, classifying objects and so on.

Children who grow up in orphanages have the same rights as children who are in a family environment. Communication carried out by caregivers to provide motivation to foster children in terms of self-confidence. Based on this, orphanage caregivers need to carry out good communication patterns in increasing the confidence of foster children. The theory used in this study is the theory of social penetration popularized by Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor. This theory discusses the development of relationships through 4 stages, namely the orientation stage, the exploratory exchange stage, the affective exchange stage, and the stable exchange stage. This research uses a qualitative approach. Researchers use the constructivist paradigm, where knowledge is the result of human construction. Data collection techniques in this study through direct observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The results showed that the pattern of communication of caregivers to foster children in increasing self-confidence in the Asyiyah orphanage was a wheel pattern, and a star pattern. The relationship between caregivers and foster children goes through 4 stages, namely the orientation stage, the exploratory exchange stage, the affective exchange stage, and the stable exchange stage. Factors that influence the increase in self-confidence in foster children are environmental factors and educational factors.

Anxiety is the most common feeling experienced by pediatric patients who experience hospitalization, anxiety that is often felt by children such as crying, fear of the environment and new people. The number of stressors experienced by children when undergoing hospitalization can have a negative impact on the child's development. This aim is to determine the effect of coloring play therapy on the anxiety level of preschool-aged children who experience hospitalization at the Banda Aceh Mother and Child Hospital. This study used a quantitative research design with a sample size approach of 5 respondents. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data collection instruments were carried out before and after carrying out coloring play therapy using observation sheets with a percentage calculation assessment scale. The results showed that before being given coloring play therapy, there were 2 respondents who experienced moderate anxiety (40%) and 3 child respondents who experienced severe anxiety (60%). And after being given coloring play therapy there were 4 child respondents who experienced mild anxiety (80%) and 1 person who was in the moderate category (20%). It is suggested that the results of this study can be used as a reference for coloring play therapy in preschool-age child patients who experience hospitalization anxiety in the children's room at the Banda Aceh mother and child hospital in 2021.

Education is expected to produce quality, moral and responsible human beings and be able to welcome progress in the future. The quality of education at every level and one educational unit can be seen through the learning outcomes obtained by students because these learning outcomes can indicate the extent to which students have mastered the subjects they are studying. One of the successes in forming self-efficacy and children's creativity is influenced by the parenting model. Parenting parents are divided into three types, namely authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. Each of these parenting styles has an impact on child development. Authoritative parenting is the best way to develop children's self-efficacy and creativity. Because this authoritative parenting style is characterized by parents who are democratic, respect and understand the child's situation with its strengths and weaknesses so that the child can become a mature, sociable person, and can adapt well to the surrounding environment. The research method used is classroom action research by collecting through observation and questionnaires as well as analysis techniques using qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of observations and student questionnaires, it showed that there was a significant increase in the results of authoritative parenting to increase student self-efficacy and creativity in Cycle I, where the results of student observations and questionnaires about self-efficacy and student creativity were good, namely 10 students with a percentage (83.33%) of 12 students. It can be concluded that there is an increase in self-efficacy and student creativity through authoritative parenting.    

In psychology, temperament broadly refers to consistent individual differences in behavior that are based on biology and are relatively independent of learning, value systems, and attitudes. Every child is born with a different temperament or biological behavior, depending on the temperament or biological behavior of their parents. However, in the process of character formation, this temperament will change in the course of life according to the parenting patterns of parents and even the environment in which they live. The development of children in the social, cognitive and emotional fields is very important in their future life when starting life or maturing. Parenting patterns are divided into 4 which can certainly influence a child's growth and development, namely: authoritarian (authoritarian), indulgent (permissive), authoritative (democratic), neglectful (ignorant). The aim of this research is to determine the influence of parental parenting on children's temperament. This research sample used 4 teenagers who had different parenting patterns.

This article discusses and examines the allusions and meanings in the lyrics of the song entitled 'Amin Paling Serius' by Sal Priadi and Nadin Amizah from the perspective of the use of language styles and allusions. Due to the development of pop music in Indonesia, Millennial and Z generation, children are more likely to like pop and foreign language songs so songs in Indonesian begin to fade and reduce listeners, therefore it is necessary to introduce Indonesian songs so that Millennial children are more familiar with their own culture. The method used in the research is descriptive qualitative. Based on the results of observations, the song 'Amin Paling Serius' uses five language styles and figures of speech, namely Smile, Metaphor, Personification, Antonomasia, and Hypocrisy in it. This song is also packaged poetically with symbolic words and means a journey of love with very romantic love and hope for lovers who strengthen each other, pray for each other and pray for each other to continue to a more serious level.  

This article aims to implement a culture of literacy to children starting from an early age. This is due to the rise of the digital era which makes people, especially children, choose to spend more time playing gadgets. Therefore, at this time there is a lot of degradation of insight and knowledge due to lack of motivation to familiarize themselves with reading literacy. If a culture of literacy is not applied from an early age, this will cause the possibility of interest in reading and writing for the next generation to be minimal or reduced. Therefore, an understanding of literacy culture from an early age needs to be instilled because at that age, the age of the child is stepping on the "golden age" or golden period, which ranges from when the child is 1 to 6.5 years old. At that time, children experience the development of growth and grow rapidly, so that to apply the culture of literacy methods, interest in reading or writing is easy to apply and easier to get used to.
