“…This was supported by a previous study that recommended putting emotions into words, or using emotion labelling as a method of regulating emotions indirectly (39). When parents encourage children to have conversations about emotions, children's understanding of emotions will improve (40).…”

Introduction: Childhood anxiety is one of the common mental health problems in children. Untreated childhood anxiety will lead to a higher risk of developing mental health problems in adulthood. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between parental emotional styles and family values to anxiety level among primary school children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a selected primary school in Kelantan, Malaysia. A set of questionnaires consisted of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale–Parents’ Report (RCADS-P 25), the Parental Emotional Style Questionnaire (PESQ), and the Asian Family Characteristics Scale (AFCS) was used for assessing anxiety, parental emotional styles, and family values, respectively. Data were collected via an online survey using Google Form, and were analysed using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) to determine the factors associated with childhood anxiety. The significance value was set at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 150 parents of primary school children from the selected school was involved in this study. The majority of respondents were females (82.0%), married (94.7%), hold a degree (66.7%), and were working in the government sector (60.0%). Most of the respondents’ child were twelve years old (20.7%) and males (62%). Based on the MLR, emotional dismissing parental style (p = 0.025) and family values (p = 0.016) were significantly associated with anxiety in these children. Conclusion: Emotional dismissing parental style and family values were significant predictors of anxiety in primary school children. Future intervention research on childhood anxiety is needed.

Scouting is one of the activities of forming discipline, morals, character, and mental development with a learning process outside the school environment and outside the family environment which is packaged in an interesting and fun way carried out in the open air. There are two kinds of scout learning material, namely knowledge learning and scouting techniques. In scouting activities there are several scouting techniques that are often used for example camping, exploration, terrain orientation, and mountain climbing. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the scouting technique of scout first aid material for scouts through a Community Service program that is integrated with lecture activities at the project location to implement the scouting technique of scout first aid material for scouts in Gudep Bumi Bahari so that scouts in Gudep Bumi Bahari can know and apply every step in performing first aid in accidents during scouting activities. The purpose of this service is to increase the knowledge and skills of the first aid of the Cub Scouts, because the knowledge of first aid in the accident of the Cub Scouts of Gudep Bumi Bahari is still lacking. The method used in this community service is lecture-based coaching, practice and educational games, interviews are conducted as a final evaluation. The service program carried out with the project implementation team can be carried out according to targets such as increasing the understanding and skills of Scouts related to first aid material at Gudep Bumi Bumi Bahari in SD Negeri Pulias Abaling.

“…Using these tasks to study children aged 7 and older could throw light on how later stages of ToM development relate to emotion comprehension. Based on the literature indicating that SES (i.e., parental education and self-reported family economy) can be a crucial factor enhancing children's development in the area of emotional understanding and ToM, future studies should collect very detailed data regarding parents' economic status, in addition to general information about the group (Raval and Walker, 2019;Bjørk et al, 2022Bjørk et al, ). 10.3389/fpsyg.2023 Frontiers in Psychology frontiersin.org…”

“…Some studies showed that children start to label mental states related to emotions at the age of 2–3 years (I am, for example, happy or angry), before being able to label cognitive mental states (I see, I know, I want) at around the age of 3–4 years ( Wellman et al, 2001 ). Other studies showed that children first come to understand the distinction between the appearance and reality of physical objects at the age of 4–5 years and then of emotions at the age of 6–7 years ( Gross and Harris, 1988 ; Harwood and Farrar, 2006 ; Bjørk et al, 2022 ; Lombardi et al, 2022 ). Numerous studies have shown that children understand ignorance and false beliefs at the age of 5–6 years before being able to understand the impact of ignorance and false beliefs on emotions at the age of 6–7 years ( de Rosnay et al, 2004 ; Bender et al, 2011 ).…”

The study examined the relation between perspective taking embedded in theory of mind (ToM) and emotion comprehension (EC) in young children. Our study involved children from Poland aged 3–6 (N = 99; 54% boys) from public and private kindergartens residing mainly in urban areas, whose parents could mostly be classified as middle class. The children were examined with the Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC) and three tasks targeting three aspects of ToM: a first-order false belief task, an appearance-reality test, and a mental states opacity task. The results showed similarities in performances between these different measures. However, only the opacity task predicted the emotion comprehension test results (η2 = 0.13). The results indicate that the key element of ToM that explains individual differences in children’s emotion comprehension is the full-blown understanding of perspective taking, namely that having access to an object under one description does not ensure access to that object under all descriptions. In the research, we took also into account the linguistic side of such specific competences as ToM and EC, which allowed us to see the role of language in scaffolding the development of children’s ability to handle such socially fundamental tasks as understanding emotions and epistemic states.
