“…Likewise, the community involvement represents a potential benefit for emancipated foster youth; some studies (e.g., Magson et al, 2016) highlight that the feeling of belonging to the community could decrease risk-taking behaviors among disadvantaged emerging adults. Sarriera and Bedin (2015) developed a socio-community well-being model, including variables related to the feeling of belonging to the community in the idea of well-being. Therefore, an increase in relational satisfaction in life requires interpersonal and collective spheres to be more integrated (Prillelstensky, 2004).…”

Through a relational lens: reflections about foster care experience in Italian emancipated foster youth

2023

The study aimed to investigate relational outcomes of Italian emancipated foster youth across open-ended reflections about their perceptions of their relationships with the biological and foster family, with partner and peers. A total of 26 Italian emancipated foster youth (19–25 years old) recruited by social services completed a single in-depth interview. A qualitative thematic analysis was selected for this study. The results revealed two major themes of foster care experience that emerged often simultaneously from the participants’ narration: (1) Positive Relational Outcomes including “Feeling supported,” “Sense of belonging,” “Good memories,” “Relationship with family of choice,” and “Staying in touch”; and (2) Negative Relational Outcomes referring “Devaluation,” “Refuse,” “Bad memories,” and “Isolation.” Foster care experience leads to complex relational perceptions in emerging adulthood according to different relational outcomes and ways of processing foster care experience. Professionals could work on relational outcomes and memories, especially during a critical transition like emerging adulthood, to support youth in making sense of their past experiences.

“…Future studies could include gender as a variable of interest when analyzing cross-nationally the relationships between satisfaction with safety and how adults listen to children and take what they say into account and children's SWB, since some differences have been detected previously for safety perceptions, generally in favor of boys (see, for instance, Sarriera et al, 2020). They could also be contrasted with objective indicators in line with the work of Uyar-Semerci et al (2017) who observed that differences in safety perceptions by gender are influenced by the "safety welfare context for children", i.e., objective conditions regarding the provision of health, education, and more at the country level, with girls showing lower SWB in low safety contexts.…”

“…Satisfaction with safety (Ben-Arieh & Shimoni, 2014;González et al, 2012;González-Carrasco et al, 2018;Lee & Yoo, 2015;Rees, 2019;Sarriera et al, 2020;Steckermeier, 2019;Varela et al, 2020) and satisfaction with how adults listen to children and take what they say into account (Corominas et al, 2020;Kutsar et al, 2019;Rees & Main, 2015) are two variables that have been shown to contribute greatly to children's subjective well-being (SWB) in many countries. However, little is known about the relationships between satisfaction with safety and satisfaction with how adults listen to children and take what they say into account, and what contributes to these two satisfaction variables themselves, specially the latter one.…”

Satisfaction with safety and satisfaction with how adults listen to children and how they take what they say into account are the most important satisfaction domains that contribute to children’s subjective well-being (SWB). However, there is still more to know about what contributes to both domains. Little is understood about their mediating effects on the safety perceptions of being cared for and supported in terms of children’s SWB. Age and country are also relevant variables in this equation that suffers from a lack of information. Therefore, this article attempts to shed light on these questions by using the third wave of the Children’s Worlds data set that covers Spain, Brazil, and Chile and focuses on the 10- and 12-year-old age group. Results show that perceived contexts (home, school, and neighborhood) in each country are very important for assessing satisfaction with personal safety, while having parents who listen and take children’s opinions into account is very important for SWB in all contexts. The importance of the effects of feeling safe on SWB increases from late childhood to early adolescence, with its indirect effects being much more important than direct effects. Most children do not perceive to be listened to by teachers or do not perceive that what they say is taken into account by their teachers, which does not turn out to be very relevant for SWB in any of the three countries. Despite existing relationships between all of the variables analyzed, there are differences depending on the country and age group, with a common relationship observed between some of them.

“…Moreover, these findings prompt schools to reassess their strategies to address the potential impacts arising from these challenges (Conrad et al, 2022;Fonte & Osti, 2020). Research also underscores the consequences of failing to identify, evaluate, and intervene early, which can contribute to a cycle of exclusion manifested as school dropout, behavioral issues, underemployment, and limited access to further educational opportunities (Coacci et al, 2023;Sarriera et al, 2021).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a neuropsychopedagogical motor intervention program (NMIP) on the cognitive functioning and academic achievement of students. 201 students aged 7 to 10 participated, randomly assigned to either the control group (103 students underwent two assessments during the NMIP period) or the experimental group (98 students underwent NMIP interspersed with two assessments). The NMIP utilized the Coordinating Methodology, focusing on motor development, executive functions, and mindfulness. It consisted of 36 sessions, each lasting 15 minutes, involving the coding and decoding of figures and colors with parts of the glass human body, implemented by the class teacher in the school setting. Cognitive functioning and academic achievement were assessed using the Children's Scale for Inhibitory Control Screening (CSICS), Neuropsychopedagogical Scale for Working Memory Screening (NSWMS), Scale for Screening Phonological Abilities (SSPA), and Children's Scale for Reading and Writing Screening (CSRWS) before and after the NMIP. The results showed significant improvements in the experimental group: ±19% (p<0.01) in CSICS, ±29% (p<0.01) in NSWMS, ±23% (p<0.01) in SSPA, and a reduction of ±52% (p<0.01) in reading and writing difficulties measured by CSRWS. Additionally, ANOVA analysis indicated superior performance (p<0.01) in cognitive functions and academic skills among children in the experimental group post-NMIP compared to those in the control group. In conclusion, the NMIP demonstrated substantial positive effects on both cognitive functioning and academic achievement in elementary school students.

Perceptions of safety and subjective well‐being of Brazilian children

Abstract: Safety is considered an important aspect of life and well-being. However, few studies have examined the relationship between safety and well-being among children, especially in Latin American.
