Normal-speaking and speech-defective children were compared on a speech-sound identification task which included sounds the speech-defective subjects misarticulated and sounds they articulated correctly. The identification task included four tests: [r]-[w] contrasts, acoustically similar contrasts, acoustically dissimilar contrasts, and vowel contrasts. The speech sounds were presented on a continuum from undistorted signals to severely distorted speech signals under conditions which have caused confusion among adults. Subjects included 15 normal-speaking kindergarten children, 15 kindergarten children with defective [r]s, and 15 preschool-age children. The procedure employed was designed to test, in depth, each sound under study and to minimize extraneous variables. Speech-sound identification ability of speech-defective subjects was found to be specific rather than a general deficiency, indicating a positive relationship between production and identification ability.

Wasting, stunting, and anemia are persistent and important forms of malnutrition in preschool-age children in the less developed world, in particular the Republic of Guinea, which was the site of a large outbreak of Ebola virus disease in 2014 to 2015. We analyzed data from 3 Demographic and Health Surveys done in Guinea in 1999, 2005, and 2012 to identify possible determinants of wasting, stunting, and anemia. All analyses, both bivariate and multivariate, were carried out separately for each of 3 age groups: less than 6 months, 6 to 23 months, and 24 to 59 months. Variables found statistically significantly associated with stunting, wasting, or anemia in bivariate analysis were placed in an age-specific logistic regression model for that outcome. Overall, anthropometric indices were available for 9228 children and hemoglobin concentrations were available for 5681 children. Logistic regression found relatively few variables associated with nutrition outcomes in children younger than 6 months. More variables were associated with nutrition outcomes in children aged 6 to 23 months. Such variables measured a wide variety of conditions, including estimated birth size, child health and nutritional status, child caring practices, mother’s nutritional and health status, and household water source and sanitation. A similarly broad range of variables was statistically significantly associated with one or more nutrition outcomes in children aged 24 to 59 months. Few of the standard infant and young child feeding indicators were associated with any nutrition outcome. Improvement in the nutritional status of young children in Guinea may require a broad range of nutrition and health interventions.

One aspect of development in preschoolers is personal social development. Preliminary study results conducted on 10 children obtained results 6 children with caution assessment, 2 children with delayed assessment, and 2 children with normal assessment with the Suspect interpretation on the assessment of the Denver II test.The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of play stimulation, the quality of interaction, and verbal abuse with the social development of preschoolers in kindergarten of Al-Djufri VI. This research use Analytical method with Cross Sectional approach with independent variables is play stimulation, interaction quality, and verbal abuse and the dependent variable is personal social development. The population is the parents of preschool children in kindergarten of Al-Djufri VI as many as 38 people with a total sample of 38 people Using total sampling technique. The instruments in this study used questionnaires on independent variables and used the Denver II test on the dependent variable.Statistical test using spearman rank test with significance level of 0.05. The result of this study using spearmen rank shows there is relationship of play stimulation with social development of preschool children with p value 0,000 <0,05 and r = 0,677, There is relationship of interaction quality with social development of preschool age children with p value 0,000 <0,05 and r = 0,724, There is relationship of verbal abuse with social development of preschool age children with p value 0,040 <0,05 and r = 0,334. Play stimulation, interaction quality, and verbal abuse have a relationship with personal social development. Parents and teachers are advised to be able to increase their knowledge as an effort to prevent child development delay in social aspect by doing screening test on health service to measure child development level.

Background: Malnutrition is estimated to account for more than one third of all child deaths, although it is rarely listed as a direct cause. Hypnoparenting is an attempt by parents to bring their children into the subconscious. This study aimed to determine the effect of hypnoparenting on nutritional status in preschool age children at Al-Fathir kindergarten, Tangerang, Banten. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment with a non-randomized pretest posttest design was conducted at Al-Fathir Kindergarten, Tangerang City, Banten Province from April to August 2020. A sample of 36 selected by purposive sampling. This study was divided into 2 groups: (1) 18 respondents were given hypnoparenting treatment and for the second group; and (2) 18 respondents were not given hypnoparenting. The dependent variable was nutritional. The independent was hypnoparenting. The data were analyzed by non-parametric tests. Results: There was a significant difference between nutritional status before hypnoparenting (p= 0.293) and nutritional status after hypnoparenting (p= 0.406) but there was no effect between changes in nutritional status made in the intervention group (Mean= 16.25; SD= 2.46; p= 0.222) and the control group (Mean= 16.18; SD= 3.88; p= 0.150). Conclusion: Hypnoparenting has effect in nutritional status of preschool age children, but it is statistically non-significant. Next, researchers will conduct further research on overcoming problems in children, especially nutritional problems, and the parents/guardians of students to be more effective in doing hypnoparenting to be maximized.

Background Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are still prevalent in Indonesia, with roughly one-third of infected population being preschool-age children (PSC), which are generally at higher risk of morbidity such as malnutrition and anemia. This study aimed to investigate the association of STH infections with nutritional status and anemia among PSC in Nangapanda subdistrict, Ende, East Nusa Tenggara. Methods A cross-sectional survey involving PSC ranging from 12 to 59 months old from Nangapanda subdistrict, Ende district, East Nusa Tenggara was performed. Socio-demographic, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding information was obtained from structured questionnaires, while nutritional and anemia status was determined from anthropometry and hemoglobin measurements, respectively. Anthropometric z-scores were calculated based on the World Health Organization 2006 standards and stool samples were examined using Kato-Katz method. Results A total of 393 PSC randomly selected from 22 villages were examined. The prevalence of underweight, stunting, wasting, and anemia were 33.1%, 40.2%, 17.1%, and 60.3%, respectively. STH infection, predominated by Ascaris lumbricoides, was found in 160 (58.8%) PSC. Single STH infection, but not multiple infection, was independently associated with a lower risk of anemia (odds ratio [OR] 0.320, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.126–0.809, p = 0.016). Similar association with anemia was also found on mild STH infection (OR 0.318 [95% CI: 0.114–0.887], p = 0.029). On the other hand, younger children were found to have a higher risk of anemia and stunting. None of the examined variables were independently associated with underweight and wasting. Conclusion STH infection as well as anemia and malnutrition were prevalent in this region. However in this study, current STH infections seemed to have minimal negative impact on children’s nutritional status.
