Introduction The study aimed to develop and examine the aesthetic, bedtime story, connecting with nature, and drawing (ABCD), community based, program for grandparents to help them promote their grandchildren’s development. Methods The action research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were utilized to gather information from healthcare providers, teachers, and community leaders to develop the ABCD program. This was followed by a critical evaluation of the program’s activities, materials, and contents. The second phase was to examine the program’s effectiveness. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used to study the effectiveness of the program among 20 dyads of grandparents and grandchildren. Results All grandparents attended and completed the program. The grandparents’ knowledge increased significantly ( p = 0.024), and satisfaction with the program was high (X = 9, SD = 0.93) while children’s development was not statistically different ( p = 0.317). Conclusion The ABCD program was found to be feasible and acceptable to grandparents of skipped families to promote their grandchildren’s development. The importance of healthcare providers, teachers, and community leaders in providing ABCD programs must also be recognized.

“…There are contradictory opinions about the effects of media on children's behavior and development. A popular opinion suggests that media and gaming are responsible for increasing obesity rates, reducing social skills development, encouraging violent behavior, and negatively affecting language, social, cognitive, and emotional development[ 44 ]. On the other hand, other studies endorse that media and video gaming enhance athletic participation and decrease the rate of obesity.…”

Play is a pleasurable physical or mental activity that enhances the child’s skills involving negotiation abilities, problem-solving, manual dexterity, sharing, decision-making, and working in a group. Play affects all the brain's areas, structures, and functions. Children with autism have adaptive behavior, adaptive response, and social interaction limitations. This review explores the different applications of play therapy in helping children with autism disorder. Play is usually significantly impaired in children with autism. Play therapy is mainly intended to help children to honor their unique mental abilities and developmental levels. The main aim of play therapy is to prevent or solve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal child-healthy growth and development. Play therapy helps children with autism to engage in play activities of their interest and choice to express themselves in the most comfortable ways. It changes their way of self-expression from unwanted behaviors to more non-injurious expressive behavior using toys or activities of their choice as their words. Play therapy also helps those children to experience feeling out various interaction styles. Every child with autism is unique and responds differently. Therefore, different types of intervention, like play therapy, could fit the differences in children with autism. Proper evaluation of the child is mandatory to evaluate which type fits the child more than the others. This narrative review revised the different types of play therapy that could fit children with autism in an evidence-based way. Despite weak evidence, play therapy still has potential benefits for patients and their families.

“…Several studies have examined how DT may affect children's cognitive, emotional, and social development, potentially endangering their wellbeing, safety, educational attainment, and future career and social lives. Many studies considered the length of time spent using DT as a risk factor and often signalled negative consequences for the neurologic and socioemotional development of children (Bohnert & Gracia, 2021;Goagoses et al, 2020;Hollis et al, 2020;Robidoux et al, 2019;Sharpe, 2021;Suhana, 2017). Risks to children also relate to accessing inadequate or inaccurate content for their capacity to understand and include content, such as pornographic or negative messages, that might disturb or upset them (Sprung et al, 2020;Stoilova et al, 2021;Tiwari, 2020).…”

Understanding the Everyday Digital Lives of Children and Young People

The digital behaviour of children is influenced by vulnerabilities in their offline world, especially in their families and peer group. By analysing children’s interactions with digital technologies (DT) from a familial–ecological developmental perspective, one objective of this chapter is to identify the general, categorical, situational, and individual vulnerabilities in children’s use of DT, their reflections, and their caretakers’ accounts. Adding the cultural constructivist developmental theory of Vygotsky to the ecological perspective that grounds our work in this chapter offers a second objective to incorporate parenting mediation in the discussion on children’s development regarding digital behaviour. The chapter is based on an analysis of 31 family interviews with children aged 5–6 or 8–10 years and 62 members of their families, as well as 31 focus groups with children in the two age groups. The analysis of the mediation of children’s DT use by caregivers and children’s responses to parenting rules shows the relevance of the constructivist theory in understanding children’s digital behaviour. The evolving agency of children may enhance their chances to overcome vulnerabilities and promote healthy adaptation, growth of competence, and resilience.
