The elderly stage is characterized by complex physical, psychological, and social changes, often leading to a decline in bodily functions and limitations in daily activities. This condition frequently results in older adults becoming highly dependent on assistance from others, including family members and caregivers in nursing homes. This study aims to understand the changes in bodily functions experienced by older adults and to identify factors that accelerate or worsen these processes, particularly among those residing in nursing homes. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, involving three older adult participants and one caregiver at Harapan Ibu Nursing Home. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed descriptively to illustrate patterns of functional decline and influencing factors. The main findings indicate that older adults experience decreased mobility, muscle strength, motor function, as well as impairments in vision and hearing. However, those who remain active in daily activities and receive environmental support demonstrate better levels of independence and quality of life. The study concludes that the decline in bodily functions among older adults is a natural process that can be slowed through physical activity, social support, and a supportive environment, enabling them to maintain a meaningful and independent life despite limitations.

This study aims to explore the emotional regulation skills of children in Harapan Community Semarang through the snakes and ladders game intervention. The method used is a participatory approach that involves children in fun game activities, so that they can learn to manage emotions in a more adaptive way. The results showed that children who previously showed maladaptive and aggressive behavior began to understand the importance of emotional regulation, such as holding back when angry and seeking help from adults. The snakes and ladders game activity not only created a relaxed atmosphere, but also provided space for children to learn cooperatively and build positive relationships with peers. Although this intervention was successful, there were some limitations, such as the constraints of setting children in a crowded environment and the short implementation time. This study concludes that a game-based approach can be an effective tool in improving children's emotional intelligence, especially in communities with limited resources, and emphasizes the need for ongoing support from parents to strengthen emotional regulation at home.
