“…The literature contains no definitive research to an optimum age and also what swimming competencies would be needed to prevent drowning [35]. There is evidence to suggest that children aged between 2-4 years may be less likely to drown if they have had swimming lessons [26,73]. Many of these studies were small in sample size and the definition of what aquatic competencies are needed to prevent drowning were not well defined [26].…”

Aquatic competencies have been proposed as a prevention strategy for children aged 2–4 years who are over-represented in drowning statistics. For this recommendation to be made, exploration of the connection between aquatic competencies and drowning is required. This review critically analyzed studies exploring aquatic competencies and their effect on drowning and/or injury severity in children 2–4 years. English language peer-reviewed literature up to 31 July 2019 was searched and the PRISMA process utilized. Data were extracted from twelve studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Findings from this study included that aquatic competencies were not found to increase risk of drowning and demonstrated children aged 2–4 years are capable of developing age-appropriate aquatic competencies. Age-appropriate aquatic competencies extracted were propulsion/locomotion, flotation/buoyancy, water familiarization, submersion and water exits. The acquisition of these competencies holds benefit for the prevention of drowning. No evidence was found relating to injury severity. There was limited exploration of the relationship between aquatic competencies attainment and age-related developmental readiness. The review highlights the need for consistent measures of exposure, clarity around skills acquisition, better age-specific data (2 years vs. 3 years vs. 4 years), studies with larger sample sizes, further exploration of the dose–response relationship and consistent skill level testing across age groups. Further investigation is required to establish the efficacy of aquatic competencies as a drowning prevention intervention, as well as exploring the relationship between aquatic competencies and age-related developmental readiness. In conclusion, early evidence suggests aquatic competencies can help to reduce drowning.

“…Salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan kesiapan menulis adalah kematangan usia anak, semakin matang usia anak semakin besar anak untuk bisa berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Usia anak yang relatif lebih muda, dia akan mempunyai pengalaman belajar kurang sehingga anak yang lebih tua usianya mempunyai kemampuan kesiapan menulis lebih baik (Patel et al, 2017).…”

Background: Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity that affected to the children’s occupational performance in their activities. Individuals suffering from this disorder have a delayed development of visual-motor integration, difficulty participating in learning activities including writing readiness and poor academic progress. This research aims to (1) determine the effect of visual-motor integration activity interventions on writing readiness in ADHD children (2) find out the demographics of ADHD children based on age, gender and education. Methods: The design of this study was conducted a one group pre-experimental study using a pretest -posttest design. Samples were taken by purposive sampling technique. There were 35 samples consisting of 15 women and 20 men. The research instrument was the Beery DTVMI. Data analysis with paired parametric comparison test (paired sample t-test). Results: This study are (1) visual-motor integration activity interventions have a positive and significant effect on the writing readiness in ADHD children (p = 0,001). (2) ADHD children in YPAC Surakarta Occupational Therapy Clinic is dominated at the age of 5-6 years (54.3%). (3) Most of the ADHD children in the YPAC Surakarta Occupational Therapy Clinic were male (57.1%). (4) The education level of ADHD children in Surakarta YPAC Therapy Occupational Clinic was at the kindergarten level (51.4%). Conclusion: This study is visual motor integration activity interventions be able to improve writing readiness in ADHD children.
