Subject
children, preschool, social development
Description
Introduction: Children's social development affects how they socialize with
their surrounding environment, where some children have difficulty
socializing and adjusting to the environment. The purpose of this study
was to compare the social development of preschool-age children in
working mothers and non-working mothers.
Methods: This study used analytical observations with a cross-sectional
design conducted by 113 mothers with preschool children aged 4-6. Data
was collected using the DDST II questionnaire sheet specifically for aspects
of personal social development.
Results: The respondents were 20-35 years old (79.6%), almost half of the
children were four years old (40.7%), and also half of the children were
female (64.6%). Next, half of the mothers were working (75.3%), the
nuclear family type (61.9%), and the social development of preschool
children were mostly in the caution category, as much as 47.8%. There was
a difference in the social development of children in working mothers and
non-working mothers (p-value<0.05).
Conclusion: It is expected that working mothers can manage their time,
guide and supervise the development of their children, and provide
independent trust and freedom to children so that they are not dependent
on their parents to carry out age-appropriate developmental tasks.
