Positive parenting and its mediating role in the relationship between parental resilience and quality of life in children with developmental disabilities in Java Island, Indonesia

Backgrounds Developmental disabilities exert severe physical, cognitive and social-emotional consequences, such as low quality of life, not only on children but also on their families. However, the extent of the effect of such consequences on quality of life is partially dependent on how parents address the situation. Aims The study aimed to examine whether positive parenting mediates the link between parental resilience and quality of life of children with a developmental disability in Indonesia. Methods and procedures Data were derived from a three-wave longitudinal study on 497, 224 and 209 families in waves one, two and three, respectively. The study determined parental resilience by assessing the knowledge of parents about the characteristics of their child, perceived social support and positive perception of parenting. Quality of life consisted of five aspects: material well-being, communication and influence, socio-emotional well-being, development and activity. Positive parenting was assessed through observed levels of support, encouragement and praise. Conclusions and implications The results demonstrated that positive parenting mediated the impact of positive perception of parenting on quality of life. This finding implies that positive perception and positive parenting should be encouraged when families with children with developmental disabilities receive care or support

Math is an important subject. It will improve student’s ability to thinklogically, analytically, and systematically. However, the process of learningmathematics often causes anxiety. Math anxiety is a feeling of inadequacy,tension, or panic when dealing with arithmetic operations and mathematicalproblems in a situation of academic and in everyday situations. One of the factors that cause mathematics anxiety is the learning methods which were notappropriate to make students understand mathematical concepts. Because of this they had an unpleasant experience while learning mathematics.Researchersexamined the level of mathematics anxiety among students who learn with rotemethod of learning and inquiry learning. Rote learning method is learningthrough memorizing a series of information without understanding the processand the relation between those concepts. Inquiry learning is a method thatencourages students to collect and analyze information, make decisions, buildtheir own understanding, create new things, and apply those concepts to solve problems. Researchers used a Children Math Anxiety Questionnaire (CMAQ). There were 175 students. The results show that there are significant differences in the level of mathematics anxiety among students who learn by rote learning and inquiry.
