We analyze the father’s role in child development and present psychodynamic view on the stages of child development. A clinical case and history of psychoanalytic treatment are presented. A number of modern theoretical views on a father’s role in child development are integrated into clinical material. We consider the functions and features of the father’s role in the symbiotic, practicing and rapproachment phases of child development. The phenomenon of the alienated (forced) identification is outlined, and its potential consequences are analyzed. We emphasize the role of parents as a couple at the Oedipal stage and draw out the prerequisites of psychologically healthy fatherhood stemming both from the father’s personality and from the couple’s dynamics.

Following some background studies on the nature of school bullying, its prevalence, and the negative consequences it can have, this article reviews the history of anti-bullying interventions over the last 30 years. It considers several major programmes in detail, such as the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, KiVa, Steps to Respect, and Friendly Schools. The nature and evaluation of the interventions is discussed, followed by a review of meta-analyses of the programmes effectiveness. Issues considered are the effect at different ages; components of interventions; work with peers; disciplinary methods, non-punitive and restorative approaches; challenges regarding cyberbullying; the role of parents; the role of teachers and teacher training; set menu versus à la carte approaches; sustainability of interventions and societal context. Conclusions show that interventions have had some success, with traditional bullying. However, further progress is needed in strengthening theoretical underpinnings to interventions, and in tackling cyberbullying.

Background: The role of fathers in infant and young child feeding has not been explored in Zimbabwe. To date, local research studies on the role of parents in infant and young child feeding have focused more on the mothers than the fathers, and more on breastfeeding than complementary feeding practices, which begin from 6 months of age. Purpose of study: To explore the knowledge and extent of involvement of fathers in the complementary feeding of children 6 to 23 months in Zimbabwe. Method: Through a qualitative approach, 10 fathers with children aged 6 to 23 months participated in the study. Local key informants were used to validate information given by fathers. Thematic analysis was used to identify emergent themes. Results: There has been a notable change in behaviour among the fathers in comparison to what they did 10 years ago. For example, they support their wives with household activities such as playing with the child, fetching water and firewood in bulk and cooking simple meals for their children, though the latter was generally reported as being done only during the mothers’ absence. Some of the fathers however, are still mindful of what the predominant culture defines as a father’s role in child feeding and thus only do selective activities. Major conclusion: This qualitative study, a first of its kind, delved into some of the experiences and perceptions of fathers in the complementary feeding of infants 6 to 23 months in Zimbabwe. Rich exploratory insights into the subject matter have been provided and can thus be expanded upon in future research.

<p><em>Childhood is a very important and valuable phase and is the period of formation in the period of human formation. Early childhood is often viewed as a golden age for education providers. The golden age of the child is a very fundamental phase for the development of the individual because in this phase there are great opportunities for the formation and development of a person. So great the role of parents in the formation of character and child development, it is natural if parents need to apply a balanced parenting (authoritative) in children, not authoritarian parenting or permissive.</em></p>

This chapter explores the history of ideas about intervention in family, highlighting attempts to shape children's upbringing for the sake of the nation's future. A consistent and influential idea has been that undesirable attitudes and actions, and the propensity for deprivation, are transmitted down the generations through the way that parenting shapes children's minds and brains. The chapter considers the relationship between interventions designed to address fears about the state of the nation in the form of poverty, crime, and disorder, and understandings of the role of parents and families as they link to shifting emphasises of the capitalist system across time.

The conclusion of this paper is that the development of children in Surat Luqman according to ar-Râzî in the interpretation of Mafâtîh al-Ghaib, includes guidance in: the values ​​of faith, understanding religious teachings in a ritual and substantial manner, being devoted to parents, democratic attitudes, consistency and patience in amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, avoiding intellectual, moderate, and communicative arrogance. The concept of fostering religious values ​​in a ritual-substantial manner and fostering Muslim character is integrated in an applicative and continuous manner. This paper also reveals that the coaching process starts with the parents, because coaching children requires a successful coach. Luqman is also symbolized by part of the parents, as insân kâmil because of the wisdom, "hakîm" is a sign of one's self-perfection, "integrating knowledge, faith and charity". After that, ar-Râzî mentions "mukâmil", as a sign to perfect the personality of others. In contemporary studies, the concept of child development discussed in this paper has relevance to "eco-parenting", namely the role of parents in introducing environmental education to children. This paper uses qualitative methods and the maudu'i interpretation method to find a comprehensive concept of child development. following with the inter-verse munâsabah method, and ta'wîl al-Qu'rân.

West Sumatra society today has a high interest in getting children into pesantren, it can be seen from the interest that increased every year. In terms of cost, education funds in pesantren are quite expensive. Admission fee into pesantren currently ranges from eight to fifteen million rupiahs, while monthly for one child ranges from seven hundred thousand to one million three hundred rupiahs per month. This differs greatly from public schools that are free of charge. The assumption is that this is a positive symptom where parents have a good Islamic passion and give sufficient attention to increase their children's religious understanding. This paper will explain about the phenomenon of education is quite expensive but able to attract the interest and attention of the community and reveal what factors are driving parents to enter children into Islamic boarding schools. The method used is qualitative. The fact that the assumption is not entirely true, because many factors that encourage parents to enter children into the pesantren are more driven by work, household problems, and more importantly, the community considers pesantren to be able to provide solutions for child development problems. In fact the pesantren is also unable to fully appreciate the role of parents. So the awareness of all parties, both parents and the school to collaborate, really helps the realization of better children's education

ALTHOUGH I have considered presenting some of the work of our group on this occasion, I have elected, rather, to discuss an issue which I feel to be of importance not alone to those of us interested in child development, but to all pediatricians (and indeed to all interested in child welfare). I refer to the role of child development in pediatrics—most particularly academic pediatrics. To the members of this section it is no surprise to observe that teaching and research in child development have not been integrated into the mainstream of academic pediatrics. It continues, with rare exceptions, to be treated as a minority group in the academic community, even though a knowledge of child development is a major concern of the practicing pediatrician. This relative neglect causes me to inquire as to whether we are to have two cultures or one in pediatrics. At the outset I wish to indicate that my bias is clearly in favor of a unitarian view. For, I believe we continue this dichotomy at our peril in pediatric teaching and research. Perhaps we can deal with this problem better if we understand how we came to be this way. I will, therefore, attempt to develop my thesis from an historical perspective. These periods are arbitrarily defined; although starting dates are given, there are no end points, since each new period is telescoped into the rich history of its antecedents (Fig. 1). The prescientific era in pediatrics (prior to 1900) was rich in contributions to our understanding of child development.

This chapter provides an overview of theory and research on parenting and moral development in US Latino/a populations, including acculturation and enculturation, ethnic identity, and exposure and responses to discrimination and culture-related stress experiences. First, we briefly review traditional theories on the influence of parents in children’s prosocial development. Second, broad ecological and developmental theories that speak to the role of culture-related processes are covered. The third section presents a brief history of US Latino/as and highlights cultural values and characteristics relevant to understand the role of parents in US Latino/a children’s prosocial development. The fourth section presents an integrative cultural stress-based model of US Latino prosocial development and summarizes supporting research. Finally, the authors identify gaps in the existing literature and directions for future research.
