Abstract/Notes: The general causes of childhood overweight and obesity have been assumed to be high caloric and fat intake paired with little to no exercise. Evidence has also shown that excessive sugar intake especially in soft drinks and increased portion sizes are also major contributors in childhood overweight and obesity. It is however well known that while still in the care of their parents, children eat that which is provided to them. And several studies found that parents’ dietary habits have a direct influence on dietary behaviors of their children regardless of demographic characteristics such as gender, age, socioeconomic status and country; however, the exact mechanism is still not clear. Therefore, when children are overweight or obese, a question is paused, how are the parents contributing to the development of overweight and obesity among the children? What role are they playing? Aim and objective This research project was directed towards investigating the dietary behaviors of both parents and children, and to provide evidence for the potential influence of parents’ dietary behaviors and practices on certain children’s eating habits which cause overweight and obesity. Research Methods Data was collected in March 2023 targeting a group of parents, teachers and children in affluent or private primary and secondary schools including Little Cranes Montessori in Bugolobi, The Northgreen School, GreenHill Academy Kibuli and Golden Stars Kindergarten. Although measurements of weight, height and basal metabolism rate (BMI) were meant to be taken, the schools already had record of these from the pupils’ termly medical checkups and these records were used to access the anthropometric data to establish nutrition status using BMI for age z scores as recommended by the WHO for children 5-19 years. Questionnaires were used for data collection to establish the children’s dietary practices, how much physical activity they were taking part in, nutritional knowledge level of parents and their influence on child food choices and lifestyle. Results and recommendations The data obtained from the study were analyzed to explore the relationship between parental factors and childhood obesity, including dietary habits, physical activity, and parental education level, among other factors. The results provide valuable insights into the role of parents in addressing childhood obesity and inform future interventions to prevent and manage the condition in this population. A total of 120 children aged 5 to 12 years old from 3 primary schools in Kampala, Uganda, were included in the study. Of these, 47.5% (57) were female and 52.5%(63) were male. The prevalence of childhood overnutrition was found to be 10.8% (n=13), with all of the children classified as overweight. This nutrition status was obtained using BMI for age, as recommended by the world health organization for determining the nutrition status of children 5-19 years old.

Abstract/Notes: The Montessori Child guides parents in using the principals of Montessori to raise their school-aged children in ways that assist their development and foster a respectful relationship between parent and child and world. When children are given independence, the tools to succeed, and the encouragement to build on their abilities, it's amazing what they can achieve. The newest book in the bestselling Montessori series is an everything-you-need-to-know guide to raising your school-aged child (from 3-12 years old, with a bonus chapter for the teen years) in the Montessori way. Educators Simone Davies and Junnifa Uzodike provide an in-depth, practical guide to incorporating Montessori principles into readers' everyday lives, with advice on everything from setting up your home in ways that encourage curiosity and independence to supporting your child's social and moral development with a balance of limit-setting and age-appropriate freedoms. The book includes dozens of hands-on activities to help foster your child's love of numbers and literacy, art and science, and ones that encourage community-building, social awareness, and connection with the natural world. The Montessori Child offers a powerful alternative for parents who feel that family life has gotten too complicated by showing parents how to make more intentional choices for your family, how to better understand the needs of your children, and support them as they develop their unique potential

Abstract/Notes: The research sought to find information that provides solutions for teaching reading fluency among grade one learners in distance education to identify the underlying factors that affect the teaching and learning process in Pulangbato Elementary School, Quiot Elementary School, and Maria Montessori International School, Cebu, Philippines. This research delved into the experiences of the parents' personal opinions concerning learners' reading habits and fluency at home, teachers’ opinion survey on reading, how parents' involvement affects learners' reading fluency, and parents' and teachers' challenges in teaching reading to learners on distance learning. It employed a Qualitative-Phenomenological method with 18 teachers and 18 parents from 3 different schools as participants. The researchers utilized an interpretative phenomenological analysis with the help of a survey questionnaire to determine the experiences of both participants, the parents, and teachers. The results of the study revealed that both participants, the parents, and the teachers, are still trying their best to adapt to the new normal set-up of learning, distance education. The parents favor having face-to-face classes for they are not confident with their ways of teaching, especially in teaching reading fluency among their learners. In addition, they are having difficulty balancing their work and, at the same time, teaching their learners.

American Muslim Tarbiya: Parents, Experts, ʿUlamāʾ, and Debates about Mothering
Available from: Knowledge UChicago
Islamic Montessori method of education

Abstract/Notes: This dissertation accounts for debates around correct American Muslim mothering in the 21st century. It centers around the following underlying questions: What advice do Muslim modernists and Sunni ʿulamāʾ offer to mothers for raising Muslims in the limited, privatized spaces of their nurseries, homes, and mosque communities? How do Muslim mothers who desire to rear children communally, in harmony with their fiṭra (innate nature) and according to traditional notions of tarbiya (development, education) accomplish this as religious minorities in a hyper capitalist, secular modern context? What are the different ways that mothers negotiate the ideas of Muslim advice-givers, which sometimes clash both internally and with the diverse opinions of American pediatricians, psychologists, and neuroscientists? This study considers the nuanced impact secular modernity, feminism, and the expanding authority of the medical and psy disciplines have had on American Muslim child-rearing practices, reconfigurations of gender roles in Muslim families and the intergenerational transmission of American Islam. To gauge this impact, this dissertation narrowly focuses on two highly contested decisions mothers make in early childhood: how to feed infants after birth and whether to corporally punish young children. The data for this project was collected from in-depth fieldwork interviews with a diverse sample of Muslim mothers conducted in 2017 in the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. This data was analyzed by situating the types of religious and parenting education mothers had both received and sought out and by surveying the Islamic scriptural and jurisprudential texts, contemporary childrearing manuals, and social media sources that informed their child-rearing practices. This dissertation found that most mothers were much more likely to formula feed or breastfeed their infants themselves than allow other mothers to nurse their children. None of my interlocutors engaged wet nurses or used donated human milk for infant feeding. Additionally, most mothers disapproved of using corporal punishment for children’s discipline, either by themselves or others in loco parentis. Corporal punishment of children was increasingly viewed not as one method among many to cultivate children’s embodiment of ritual practices, but as child abuse. However, a minority of mothers demonstrated an openness to sharing milk and employing constrained forms of physical discipline in specific circumstances. In investigating the ever-shifting child-rearing advice from religious scholars (ʿulamāʾ), non-Muslim scientific experts, and a hybridized class of Muslim parent educators, this dissertation offers another avenue for understanding the fragmented nature of religious authority in American Muslim communities. It contributes to the growing body of scholarship that tracks the rising popularity of Sunnī rationalism and traditionalism by noting the way it attracts mothers who long for styles of parenting that are more shared and communal and less demanding and intensive. Finally, this dissertation affords insights into ongoing contestation over what constitutes correct, ethical tarbiya and how best to integrate and transmit American Islam

Abstract/Notes: The main and early education centers also started from the family environment. One of the important aspects that needs to be educated is the spirituality of the child. Parents have a responsibility to work on this. This spiritual education needs to be done from an early age, given that this age is the age at which the child can easily record, imitate and digest what he sees and feels. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to explain the role of parents in educating early childhood spirituality based on Deuteronomy 6. The author uses qualitative research methods. The role of parents in educating early childhood spirituality based on deuteronomy chapter 6 is by teaching the values of truth repeatedly, inviting children to worship God, and telling the history of the experience of faith with God to children. The main purpose is for the child to know and accept the Savior and live more and more like Christ. Pusat pendidikan utama dan mula-mula juga berawal dari lingkungan keluarga. Salah satu aspek penting yang perlu dididik ialah kerohanian anak. Orang tua memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengerjakan ini.
