“…This can be explained due to the following reasons, low income is linked with failure to obtain daily basic needs including clothes, food, and entertainment which make it creates an environment for dropping from their studies, some run away from homes looking for jobs (house girls), increase risk of raping and some get easy to accept men hoping for support that all do creates an environment for early sexual practices and pregnancy. This is also supported by the previous findings [34,36].…”

Background Teenage pregnancies cause serious health, social and economic consequences including death among adolescent girls worldwide. It is estimated that in 2019 about 55% of unintended pregnancies among adolescent girls aged 15–19 years ended up in abortions, which are often unsafe in developing countries. Little was known about the magnitude of teenage pregnancy and its associated factors in Dodoma Tanzania. Therefore, the study aimed at establishing the magnitude and factors associated with teenage pregnancies among adolescents in Dodoma Region Tanzania. Method It was a community-based analytical cross-sectional study that included 539 adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 years old. A multistage sampling technique was used to recruit study participants. An interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed by using SPSS v23. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the distribution of the entire study variable while the inferential statistics helped to establish factors associated with teenage pregnancy among adolescent girls and the level of significance was set at two sides of less than 0.05. Results The magnitude of teenage pregnancy in Dodoma was 29%. After controlling for possible confounders, factors associated with teenage pregnancy were; urban residence [AOR: 3.02, 95%CI: (1.60–5.68), p = 0.001], low mothers’ education status [AOR: 3.46, 95%CI: (1.47–8.11), p = 0.004]; Poor knowledge on sexual and reproductive health [AOR: 2.09, 95%CI: (1.2–3.63), p = 0.009]; Low family economic status [AOR: 3.83, 95%CI: (1.77–8.30), p = 0.001]; Peer group [AOR: 2.92, 95%CI: (1.33–6.40), p = 0.007]; Early marriage [AOR: 2.58, 95%CI: (1.57–4.26), p < 0.0001]; and Sexual abuse [AOR: 13.56, 95%CI: (7.98–23.06), p < 0.0001]. Conclusion This study found a high magnitude of teenage pregnancy among youth in Dodoma. Teenagers who were more likely to teenage pregnancy were those with limited knowledge about sexual and reproductive health living in urban, from families with low economic status, their mothers had a low level of education, from a culture that encourage early marriages, with the influence of peer and who experienced sexual abuse. An innovative intervention study to come up with a cost-effective strategy to address the challenge of teenage pregnancy in Dodoma is highly recommended.

“…Meanwhile, other parties, including non-family (teachers and friends), god, and toys, only get responses of 19.48%; 1.30%; and 1.30% in a row. The findings in this study strengthen the previous research, highlighting that families have a positive relationship with children's well-being (Ruini, Vescovelli, Carpi, & Masoni, 2017;Gilligan, et al, 2017;Pannilage, 2017;Stradzdins, et. al., 2011;Holder & Coleman, 2007).…”

“…Research on the influence of families on children's well-being or happiness has developed rapidly over the past few decades. A study conducted by Pannilage (2017), has succeeded in finding that children feel unhappy when there is disharmony and violence within the family, unstable family income, family discrimination for sociocultural reasons, and lack of love, attention, and affection. Further, Brown, Manning, and Stykes (2015) also show that: (1) children living outside the family tend to be less healthy compared to those living with their families, (2) there is no difference in the level of happiness of children with single parents (mother or father only), biological parents who are married to stepparents, and families who live together without marriage.…”

This research was conducted based on three considerations. Firstly, childhood is a critical developmental stage that forms the foundation for the psychological well-being and future learning development of children. Secondly, the prevalence of child and adolescent behavioral problems is increasing, assumed to be caused by unhappiness. Thirdly, studies related to happiness in early childhood in Indonesia are still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to explore the meaning, situation, and parties associated with happiness in children. Our study is exploratory using a qualitative approach. The respondents include 51 children aged 4 to 6 years. The research took place in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. We interviewed the respondents and later analyzed the data using content analysis. The latter consist of three coding steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results show that, 1) the meaning of happiness refers to positive affects (55%), activities (28.9%), getting something (8.89%), positive physical conditions (4.44%), and affiliation (2.22%), 2) The situations that make children happy are activities (36.61%), learning (11.61%), entertainment (9.82%), and sports (2.62%), 3) The parties who make children happy are families (77.92%), extended families (3.90%), non-family (19.48%), God (1.30%) and toys (1.30%).

“…Ketidakbahagiaan pada anak dapat menjadi penghambat ketika anak berhubungan dengan banyak orang karena rasa kurang percaya diri (Fatmawati, 2019). Pannilage (2017) menyataan, anak akan merasa tidak bahagia ketika terjadi ketidakharmonisan dan diskriminasi dalam keluarga. Anak yang tidak bahagia dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan psikis anak dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang ditunjukkan dengan permasalahan emosi dan perilaku (Shoshani & Slone, 2017).…”

Kebahagiaan bagi anak usia dini dapat dikaitkan dengan emosi positif yang dirasakan oleh setiap individu. Kebahagiaan anak menarik untuk dipelajari karena anak mampu mengidentifikasi emosi dalam lingkungan interpersonal. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana prediksi hubungan sosial dan temperamen anak usia dini di TK Kecamatan Pegandon Kabupaten Kendal. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan ex post facto dan desain penelitian korelasional. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 150 anak TK di Kecamatan Pegandon Kabupaten Kendal dengan rentang usia 5-6 tahun. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dalam menentukan pengambilan sampel. Anak akan didampingi oleh guru atau peneliti untuk membacakan ketentuan dan butir instrumen dalam penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hubungan sosial dan temperamen memprediksi kebahagiaan anak usia dini sebesar 26.2% terhadap kebahagiaan anak usia dini. Hubungan sosial dan temperamen dapat memprediksi kebahagiaan anak usia dini apabila guru dan orang tua bekerjasama dan untuk membangun rasa percaya diri terhadap anak, mendorong anak untuk bersosialisasi dengan orang lain, memberi kesempatan kepada anak untuk meluapkan emosinya dan memberi kesempatan kepada anak dalam mengambil keputusan.
