Researches in the sub-Saharan area seems to relate to
training or assessment to improve the quality of the care for children. The surprising fact is that the quality level
they are working on is still very basic such as survival rate, community health
and orphanages. The Australian website
introduces the topics like what we see in America. They are for understanding
children so that educators and caregivers can provide quality care and
education. The surprising fact from a journal from this website is that one in
five children living in low-income or single-parent families have mental health
concerns. The European one has a lot of interesting and up-to-date topics such
as children’s self-esteem in computer and learning and playing in different
languages. One of the new insights here is that there are studies done about
the challenges of children’s real participation. The noteworthy
information/insight is that the interpretation of observation and interviews are
always done by adults so what we think is true from the research results might
not be true so we have to continue to study about children to understand children
more accurately.
Hi Ayako
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, It seems like great initiatives have been going on for a long time in trying to improve the quality of life in the sub Saharan, and they still seem to be lagging behind. My understanding of this is that there is so many people living there, that when we see or hear things going on it's to a small group, and some people who live in remote area, are just receiving help.
I hope they keep up the good work in helping all children.
Ayako,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I also found it shocking that one in five children living in low-income or single-parent families have mental health concerns.
