The given article elucidates the theoretical-methodological and phraseological aspects of health insurance as an important field of the integral phenomenon - the well-being of the child. Significant arguments are made for understanding the need to strengthen the family, which has a defining impact in ensuring the well-being of the child. At the same time, risk factors are identified as elements of danger to health and certain family values are disclosed which, with certainty, have the status of protective factors that reduce or even eliminate risks for the child's health. child health protection. In this sense, value judgments and reasoning are brought with reference to the need to establish a functional partnership between all the social agents who are required by their duties to ensure the child's health.
Research Findings: The aim of this study was to examine associations between two aspects of teachers’ occupational well-being, i.e., teaching-related stress and work engagement, and the quality of teacher–child interactions in Finnish kindergarten classrooms. Participants were 47 kindergarten teachers with their classrooms of 6-year-old children. Teacher–child interactions (i.e., emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support) were observed twice during the kindergarten year (fall and spring), using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS). In addition, teachers completed questionnaires on stress and work engagement. The results indicated that teaching-related stress negatively predicted the quality of emotional support and classroom organization while teacher’s work engagement was positively associated with the quality of instructional support. Practice or Policy: The findings can be used to inform teacher education and professional development in order to promote in- and pre-service teachers’ occupational well-being and support them in their work with children in the classroom.

Agricultural child labor refers to the involvement of children, aged 10 years and above, in various agricultural activities such as farming, fishing, livestock herding, and other related tasks.These children are often from rural areas and come from families with low-income and limited educational opportunities.While some may see this as a way for children to contribute to their family's livelihood, it can have negative impacts on their well-being.This study aimed to determine Agricultural Child Labor And Well-Being of 10-Year-Old And Above Learners.The results revealed that agricultural labor among children is predominantly undertaken by males, with a higher prevalence among younger children in the lower grades.Moreover, the result showed that the perception of children engage in agricultural labor in terms of family income has a agreement that children are engaged in agricultural labor while perception of children engage in agricultural labor in terms of parent's working status and parent's educational status have a strong agreement that children are engaged in agricultural labor.Another results revealed that health, access to education, parental support, safety and security of the child has a strong agreement among respondents regarding the effects of parental support on their well-being.And it was found also that there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile and the level of effects of the well being of children engage in agricultural labor in terms of health, access to education and parental support.While age is the only demographic factor that exhibits a significant relationship with the level of effects on children's safety and security in the context of agricultural labor.There is a significant relationship between the Perception of Children engage in Agricultural labor and the Level of Effects of the Well Being of Children in terms of health, access to education, parental support, and children's safety and security.This suggests, implement policies and programs that prohibit child labor in agriculture and enforce existing laws, provide access to quality education and healthcare for children in agricultural communities, address the underlying economic and social factors that contribute to child labor and collaborate with agricultural organizations, schools, and community groups to create safe and child-friendly work environments for children.
A considerable body of literature takes a deficit perspective and shows that children who experience a parental separation have more disadvantages than children who live in a two-biological-parent family. This article argues that not all children respond identically to their parents’ separation, and examines whether there are heterogeneous effects based on parent-child relationship quality. We expect that having a good relationship with the resident parent can buffer the potentially negative effects of parental separation on a child’s well-being. Using longitudinal data from waves 2 to 13 (2009/2010 – 2020/2021) of the German Family Panel pairfam, we estimate fixed-effects models based on a sample of 2,057 children aged 7 to 15, 99 of whom experienced the separation of their parents. We find that children who had a high level of conflict with the resident parent had significantly more emotional problems after parental separation, whereas children who had few conflicts with the resident parent had significantly fewer emotional problems after separation. Similarly, we find that only children in a parent-child dyad with a low level of intimate disclosure had more behavioral problems after parental separation than before.
This paper examines the links between early childhood development and the subjective well-being of their caregivers. Using survey data collected among 390 households in rural western China, we investigate the correlations between early child development indicators and the life evaluations, emotions and mental health of caregivers. We find that child development indicators are correlated with caregiver subjective well-being. In particular, social-emotional skills are positively associated with life evaluations and positive emotion at conventional significance levels. However, we do not find any significant correlation between child development and negative emotion or depression, anxiety and stress (DASS) scores.
One of the most prevalent types of child abuse is child neglect. India is a home to the largest child population in the world, with almost 41 per cent of the total population under eighteen years of age. But in this scenario, According to the Times of India 2023, 90% of children are abused in one way or the other before they attain the age of 18. The health and security of the country’s children is an integral part of nation’s progress and development. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) define that child maltreatment as harm experienced by a children under the age of 18 years by an adult or child that is in the form of physical, sexual or emotional but can also involve a lack of love, care and attention. Child neglect is very common serious public health problem and it has adverse effects on childhood experiences. It affects the health, opportunity, and wellbeing of children in their later life. Any form of neglect of a child under the age of eighteen by a parent, caregiver, or any person acting in a custodial capacity is considered child neglect. The important contributing factors of child neglect are socio-economic conditions of the family, living arrangements and living with domestic violence, parental mental health and drug and alcohol use. The prevalence of child neglect can be reduced through creating awareness of their rights among the children, especially the right to protection, among parents and other stakeholders, must strictly follow the laws (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act) to punish those who abuse /exploit the children and take action to strengthen accountability on the part of government, NGOs and the civil society.

Evidence from the temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) in 2021 suggests it helped to reduce family poverty, lessen food hardship, and increase families’ financial expenditures on children across race and ethnicity. We review recent evidence on the impacts of the CTC on differences in well-being across race and ethnicity, including differences in access to the tax credit, how families used the tax credit, and the food insecurity and mental health circumstances of those families. We supplement our review of extant research with an analysis of racial income inequality using nationally representative data from the Current Population Survey: we find that the 2021 CTC expansion is associated with lowered Black–white and Hispanic–white income inequality in the bottom half of the income distribution, particularly at the 10th and 25th percentiles.
In disability research, there is an increased focus on the well-being of families with a child with a disability, also known as family quality of life (FQOL). However, the well-being of families with a child with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) has not yet been explored, even though their well-being may be affected by the pervasive support needs they need to manage. In turn, sufficient well-being of the family is necessary to guarantee adequate support and thus well-being for the person with PIMD. The purpose of this study was to examine the well-being of families with a child with PIMD, including possible differences between parents and siblings, and how individual and familial factors are related to FQOL. A total of 82 participants from 44 families with a child with PIMD in the Netherlands participated. Multilevel models were employed to analyze FQOL scores and which factors significantly affected scores. Families scored moderately high on both total score and subscales, scoring lowest on emotional well-being. There were significant differences between parents and siblings and a significant effect of age of the respondent on emotional well-being, material well-being, and disability-related support. Siblings scored higher than parents, and scores decreased with age on these domains. Although families with a child with PIMD scored, on average, satisfactory on their FQOL, they were least satisfied with the support for their emotional well-being, and may therefore require additional support for this aspect of their family life. Results of this study contribute to understanding the lives of families with a child with PIMD and their support needs.

Background: The study engaged parents and grandparents to define child health and well-being in their local context, develop domains, and provide input on appropriate measures. Methods: We employed an exploratory methodological approach that builds off a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) methodology. Parents and grandparents defined child health and well-being using PhotoVoice methodology; outlined key domains together during focus group sessions; and reviewed measures identified by the research team for construct and face validity. Results: Ten parents and grandparents, living in an overburdened and under-resourced community in New York City, were recruited for this study. They defined child health and well-being in terms of three domains: Safety, Love, and Equity. The research team identified three candidate measures that have been developed with or widely used with children from a similar racial and ethnic background as the children from this community. Results showed adequate face validity for each of the three measures and for both English- and Spanish-speaking parents and grandparents. While overall the measures will address the domains they identified, there are some modifications to wording that will be needed before implementing the measures in the community. Conclusions: We found a paucity of child health and well-being measures developed explicitly for and validated with African American and Latinx young children living in low-income urban environments. Therefore, the field needs more validation studies and new measures designed with and for populations from different cultural backgrounds, particularly for younger children

Internet addiction among children has become a global health problem, including Malaysia. It raised public awareness of its increasing number. Most of the internet addiction risk factors relate to parents and their awareness regarding this issue. Therefore, this study was done to explore family awareness of child’s internet addiction and to identify the role of the family in overcoming internet addiction among children. This is a qualitative study using a scoping review design. The articles were obtained from the Academic Search Premier@EBSCOhost university database published from 2015 to 2023. A total of 38 articles were selected from the EBSCO-Host together with other relevant and significant articles from earlier years. Findings revealed that family awareness in term of understanding role of family members (parent’s role, sibling’s role, child’s role) is very important in facing internet addiction among children. Besides that, there are five elements in managing child internet addiction which include controlling and monitoring children's internet use, limiting time and space in children's internet use, the concept of psychological reward and punishment in internet use, application of moral and spiritual values, and joint involvement of parents and children in social activities. In conclusion, this study can be a guidance to the involved party such as educators or community in dealing and helping the family or parents who are facing with the issue of child’s internet addiction.
