This paper aims to asses the key princssiples in developing government’s social policy for children. Social and economic changes have affected children so much. This often threatens the physical and personality development of children. This needs the role of government to protect children from the social changes through an appropriate policy for them. This paper focuses on the key principles required to design government’s social policy to children which are the children’s need-oriented principle, the children’s rightoriented principle and the children’s quality of life-oriented principle. This paper argues that there is no single principle the best among the others because they each have strengths and weaknesses in providing properly basis for designing government’s social policy for children. Government should combine three key principles because they are complement each other in providing basis for designing social policy for children. This study was conducted using literature review to reach its objectives. This study contributes to deeper understanding of the key principles in designing government’s social policy for children.
You may have heard the famous saying of George Bernard Shaw - “To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.” As a civilization, we in India have always placed teachers in the highest echelons, next to God. And why not?
A teacher plays a crucial role in the life of an individual. A good teacher occupies a very significant and pious place in the minds of young students. After parents, it is the teacher who influences a child most, and contributes to the shaping of his or her personality.
As you are well aware, children in every society face abuse, violence and exploitation. If you only look around you, you will see it. Little children engaged in labour and deprived of schooling – many of them bonded-parents beating their children, teachers beating children in the classroom or discriminating against them because of their caste or religion, girl children not being allowed to be born or killed soon after birth, or facing discrimination in the family and society because they are girls, early marriage, rape and incest...
Yes, this is the reality of many children’s lives. Some of them may be in your class or your school.
As a teacher what will you do when you see a child being abused and exploited or hear about it?

The Integrated Child Protection Scheme is expected to significantly contribute to the realization of Government/State responsibility for creating a system that will efficientlyand effectively protect children. It is based on cardinal principles of “protection of child rights” and “best interest of the child”. Hence, the ICPS objectives are: to contribute to the improvements in the well being of children in difficult circumstances, as well as to the reduction of vulnerabilities to situations and actions that lead to abuse, neglect,exploitation, abandonment and separation of children. These will be achieved by: (i) improved access to and quality of child protection services; (ii) raised public
awareness about the reality of child rights, situation and protection in India; (iii)clearly articulated responsibilities and enforced accountability for child protection (iv) established and functioning structures at all government levels for delivery of statutory and support services to children in difficult circumstances; (v) introduced and operational evidence based monitoring and evaluation.

The concept of children‟s participation has evolved over the last decade but the notion, either in theory or in practice, has not been able to make a significant dent in the collective mindset of the social and political institutions and the individuals who comprise of them. Most initiatives and interventions have arguably been confined to children‟s rights organizations and activists, and need to be appreciated and accepted by the mainstream society and the state in order to be scaled up. This is largely because of a lack of conceptual understanding and the appreciation of the value and practicability of children‟s participation.

An Efficient Approach for Ultrasonic Characterization of Biomaterials using N...inventionjournals
The methodology for characterization of biomaterial is the source of signal, Biomaterial and the response detector. The high frequency ultrasonic signal generator generates signals of high frequency suitable for biomaterial characterization. In this system, Ultrasonic signals are made to fall on the biomaterial to be characterized. While passing through the biomaterial, the ultrasonic signals are absorbed, reflected and scattered along different directions. The transmitted and reflected received signals are sense and detect by receiving transducer. The sensor produces proportional current in microamperes. This current will be applied to sensing circuit, which converts current into proportional amplified voltage with the help of Op-Amp. An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) converts analog signal into digital signal. This digital signal provides data to a computer. Data acquisition circuit interconnects the PC and driver software to which the data is input. Driver software makes NI LabVIEW to interact with hardware. The PC with LabVIEW platform is used to study characteristics of the biomaterials.

Development of a receiver circuit for medium frequency shift keying signals.inventionjournals
Frequency shift keying (fsk) mode of digital signal information transfer switches between two predetermined frequencies of the carrier wave, either by modulating one sine wave oscillator or by switching between two oscillators.The need for a receiver to decode an fsk signal along the transmitting medium from a digital source code within about 5 kilometer radius for security monitoring of environment informed this work. The design of a receiver circuit at a frequency of 500 kHzfor an input frequency shift keying (fsk) signal from a transmitter is presented. The receiver is to receive an RF signal, amplify it, filter it to remove unwanted signals, and recover the desired base band information. It consists of an amplifier, tuned circuitsand mixers which filters the base-band information. A comparator circuit is incorporated, to detect the digital signal received. The output from the comparators is the digital equivalent of the coded signals sent by the transmitter circuit, and transferred to a microcontroller circuit, to act as a coded signal representing information from the transmitting end. The bode-plot response of the receiver to the incoming signals using a FET tuned circuit, shows that only frequencies above 470kHz, and below 495kHz are allowed to pass through the network with a resonant frequency of 483.553 kHz and a gain of 27.734dB, while others are totally attenuated. The reliability of the designed receiver circuit was evaluated for a 1 year continuous operating period and was found to be 74.7%.Area of application of this work include electronic policing of a defined environment with good success

1. Background:
You work as the DOS (Dean of Students) at a faith-based, private, medium-sized, liberal arts school in the south. Your student population is 5,000 with 3,0000 undergraduate students. Your undergraduate population is approximately 80% white/Caucasian with the remaining approximately 20% of the undergraduate population made up of minorities: African American (85% of total 20%), Hispanic/Latino Americans (8%), Asian Americans (7%) as well as Native Americans (5%). Currently, within the student affairs model at your institution, there is no established multicultural office and your programming funding has not changed since 2010 (limited resources).
Scenario:
You have been approached by some of your minority student leaders (students involved in CAB, SGA, Orientation) in creating more specific opportunities for engaging new minority students in order to help with retaining more minority students. After meeting with the students several times, a meeting is finally accepted by the President of your institution. He is in favor of moving forward but tells the students that he would like for this endeavor to be organic in its approach and lead by the students in creating these new programs. He doesn't think a top-down approach (creating a Multicultural Affairs office) is the right fit but tasks you with helping this new student initiative.
What approach would you, the DOS, take in helping these students? How much involvement should you, the DOS, have in this creation to keep it truly 'student-driven'?
2. Tinto’s (1993) model of college departure has indicated that the greater a student’s academic and social integration, the more connected the student will be to the institution. Tinto (1993) goes on to indicate that orientation is the groundwork to achieving academic and social integration. Do you think that Tinto's (1993) model is still applicable to Gen Z and is orientation truly the right place to start?
3. Does 'student life programming' strengthen the academic enterprise? If so, then how? If not, why not pour funding back into strengthening academics? Please provide one recent article (2009-Present) that provides evidence for your answer.

Social change – child welfare
Issues to encounter in the strategic plan
Foster children who depend on the society for their living are mostly not given the care that they deserve. Foster children mostly do not grow and develop normally like children who are raised by their biological parents. They face so many problems and that is what this strategic plan wishes to address. Some of the specific issues to encounter include; child abuse, being unwanted, and generally being neglected. Most of these children face poverty, unnecessary disconnections from family and also limited access to opportunities. These children face the above problems because they do not have anyone to represent them in the political world, they have no voice therefore no one can hear them, and they are minors in the society so no one really cares about them.
The change needed to address these issues
The change needed to address the above issues to eliminate the problems and challenges faced by foster children so that they can access opportunities and create policies that will help them transition in and from foster care effectively. Annie E. Casey Foundation is an effective foundation that has helped most foster children through practice, policy and evaluation tools that seek to improve their opportunities and assets as well as help to build their personal and financial assets by engaging them in self-advocacy and leadership opportunities.
Change theory and how to apply it
Kurt Lewin change theory is applicable in this strategic plan. It is a three-step model which include unfreeze, change, and freeze. Lewin’s model ensures that there is a radical change, minimized disruption of the structure’s operations, and permanent change (Cummings et al., 2016). Unfreezing means making people unlearn their bad ways and open to change their way of doing their activities for a positive change. The second step is change. This is the implementation phase. When people have opened up their minds for a change, transition begins and it might take some time. The last step is freeze. This is cementing the change. Once a change has been made, it should be made permanent. This theory will be applied by changing the activities of foster care, policies applied in foster care and the society’s perception of foster children. It will begin with presenting the issues to be changed to the concerned parties and persuading them to open up for a change in the way foster children are handled. Secondly, once every party is open-minded about the change, then change will be implemented. For example, it is important to create jobs for foster children as they exit foster care and live by their own. Lastly, the change will be made permanent by putting it to practice.

Child care is a now a way of life for many of America’s young children, but this has not always been the case. In 1960, only about 10% of the 3- and 4-year-olds in the United States participated in a preschool (pre-K) program outside of their home. By 1970, twice as many 3- and 4-year-olds had enrolled in preschool, and by 1990 participation in preschool had doubled again to about 40% of all 3- and 4-year-olds. We know more mothers were working full time in 1990 than had been in 1960, but that is not the only explanation for the increased demand for early childhood education. Other factors, including the trend toward small.

By 1970, twice as many 3- and 4-year-olds had enrolled in preschool, and by 1990 participation in preschool had doubled again to about 40% of all 3- and 4-year-olds. We know more mothers were working full time in 1990 than had been in 1960, but that is not the only explanation for the increased demand for early childhood education. Other factors, including the trend toward small ...
In support of developing a parenting program for young couples, this study
conducted to determine whether and how significantly the module was
affects parenting practice among young couples in a small groups. Data were
collected through experimental research. The subjects of this research were
young couples with requirements as follows: have children whose age is
maximum five years old, graduated from high schools, able to communicate
fluently, and are willing to attend all interventions and are not joining any
similar training. The subjects were 26 parents who are domiciled in the
Province of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia and recruited
through social media. The data analysis technique was a paired sample t-test.
The result indicated -6.299 value t and value p=0.000 or (p<0.01). It showed
a significant development of parenting comprehension before and after
training (mean pretest is about 62.13 and mean post-test is about 78.26). This
parenting program module needs to be tested in the wider population to form
into final results.
Parenting Styles and Academic Performance of Senior High School StudentsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The district-wide survey study examined the parenting styles and academic performance among
Grade 12 learners in Social Science amidst the CoViD-19 pandemic. The study involved two hundred forty-four
(244) parents as respondents. The study used descriptive research design through survey questionnaires as the
main instrument in gathering the required data. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were employed in the
computation, analysis, and interpretation of data. Results of the study revealed that most parent-respondents are
female, in their middle adulthood, with a minimum family and a number of children. Parents agree on the
parenting styles they do. The mean academic performance of Grade 12 learners in Social Science was "Very
Satisfactory". There was a significant difference in parents' parenting styles as to authoritarian style when
respondents were grouped according to age and family monthly income. There was a significant difference in
parents' parenting styles as to permissive style when respondents were grouped according to age. There was a
significant difference in parents' parenting styles as to authoritative style when respondents were grouped
according to the number of children in the family. There was a very low positive correlation between the
parenting styles of parents and the academic performance of Grade 12 learners in Social Science. Based on the
study's findings, parents may consider exploring appropriate parenting styles to motivate their children, and
parents are encouraged not to spoil their children. Parents are encouraged to attend any PTA meetings to show
support for their children's learning. The parents may consider equally practiced parenting styles as
authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative regardless of their profile. It may be possible to undertake a
comparative study with a bigger sample size of participants from various places to validate and enhance the
generalizability of the results.

Often policies aimed at improving the situation of certain conditions in the society are formulated, passed and made ready for implementation. However, challenges face the implementation phase of the policies. There are a number of challenges that may hinder the implementation of a certain policy. These range from physical, social, economic, environmental and economic factors. this paper will seek to exploit the cost factors that affect the implementation of the juvenile delinquency policy. These fall under the economic factors of the above-named factors. These include a measure of the benefits that are to be realized upon switching to the new policy.
Training Costs.
Implementation of any policy involves capacity building of individuals who are going to disseminate the information to different part of the nation. This includes carrying out training in different places so as to ensure that the public is sensitized on the importance of this particular policy of juvenile delinquency for our case. This may include training in the institutions and also community-based training all of which will require funds for facilitation.
Incorporations Cost
The implementation of this policy will involve the provision of education to children in order to mold them to the desirable state of behavior. There will be a need of taking even the children who do not have access to education to institutions by ensuring that education is free of charge to all. To ensure these, the government of the day is obliged to sponsor these programs hence will need to source funds for the program.
Program Sustenance Cost
Once a program to support this policy is started, it important to ensure that the program is kept going on. There should be a consideration of the ways to sustain the program through the provision of necessities like learning materials among other education materials.
Administrative Costs.
These are the costs that are incurred to run the program in different places. This includes salaries for the officer responsible for overseeing the policy implementation in the different locations. This is also a great factor to put into consideration.
Ensuring The Participation of Different Groups in This Policy.
The involvement of the groups within the society is very important as it boosts this policy implementation. There are a number of ways that can be used to ensure the participation of these individual groups within society. The mass media being one of the groups can be involved through carrying out the campaigns via the media houses. The media houses can air any information that is supposed to pass across to the society. The media houses can also horst in.

According to Kaye (2013), Save the Children USA is a non-profit institution that is known by another name as Save the Children Federation. The organization seeks to advance the lives of children who are in the United States as well as in other nations throughout the globe. The organization was recognized in the year 1919. The organization has its headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut. The organization seeks to ensure children are taken care of even in war-torn countries. The organization seeks to give children a healthy start, a chance to learn and protect them from harm. This move ensures the organization has reduced the cases of death and fatalities. The organization has undertaken several strategic plans. The mission of the organization is to invest in children every day either in times of crisis and even for the future. The organization seeks to give children in the United States and even in the world a healthy start in life, give them a chance to get an education and defend them from danger.
The organization has set some Short Term Goals that will ensure that the children of the world are safe. The current world has been unstable and characterized chaos and wars. In this kind of setting, children and women are the people who greatly suffer because they do not have experience in combat. These wars result in too many fatalities that could have been avoided. The organization is looking forward toward ensuring that the children have received an education. The organization is planning on using some of the financings it has received from the donor countries and the US to build learning institutions in the affected countries. The move is also aimed at ensuring that they have gotten access to highly qualified teachers (Johnson, 2014).
The Long Term Goals of the organization is making it possible for all children around the globe more so in the war-torn countries and the developing countries to have access to education. The Long Term Goals also focus on contributing to the success of the developing countries through providing formal education to the children. The other long term goal is that they have been ensuring that the children have access to well-equipped health facilities. The Save, the Children USA, wishes to expand their services to even getting access to the kitty that will finance the development of infrastructure and social amenities in collaboration with the US and the countries in the developing countries.
The short-term goal of the organization is to ensure that child health care in the earliest years including the antenatal period before birth is well catered. The challenge of achieving this goal is that pregnant w.

Delinquency Prevention and Diversion Programs 5Introduction
Delinquency prevention programs entail superseding youths' and children's lives to deter them from delinquent acts. Delinquency prevention programs occur outside the juvenile justice system, and the plans are not organized to undermine and exclude justice personnel. Diversion programs are substitutes that are entwined to initial or progressive official dispensation of the youth in the juvenile delinquency system. Diversion programs majorly entail redirecting the youthful wrongdoers from the justice system through different programs such as sports, supervision, and recreational activities. In this work, we will see the basic assumptions for these programs, the justification of these programs, and the public's reluctance to finance them. Basic Assumptions for Delinquency Prevention and Diversion ProgramsA match in the parties
There should be an understanding between all the underlying parties for the prevention delinquency and diversion program to be successful. According to Lipsey, the parties involved include the juvenile target, the host organization, and the program's concepts. The targeted individual must be willing to undergo the guide program in his trial to quit the adapted behavior. In this case, the target is the leading party since the whole program's success depends on their willingness. The host must also be willing to work with the particular individual, lay and work a program suitable for the exercise (Farrington, et al, 2017). The most applicable program to this assumption is the school program. Since many minors spend a lot of time in school than in any other institution, there is a need to conduct delinquency prevention and diversion programs in schools. Therefore, the school must be willing to roll a plan suitable to accommodate the targeted juvenile's interests. The parents may also play a part in convincing the juvenile to enroll in that program. The assumptions work in all preventions; primary, secondary and tertiary preventions. The matching of all the parties hence makes it easy for the program to run. No specific program is effective
In these juvenile court programs of delinquency prevention, we assume no single program can effectively do away with delinquency. The main reason behind this assumption is that the underlying problems are from different sources. The crimes may be a result of low housing, poverty, inadequate education, among others. These existing problems are complex and independent, such that not a single program can overhaul them once. Therefore, the host organization must plan on a series of programs related to each of the problems. Besides, it is prudent to target the issues first rather than the prevention of their outcomes. (Johnson, 1998) suggests that for effective prevention, we have to deal with t ...

Life Span Parenting Project
Children ought to be evaluated when it comes to their entire environment with the inclusion of whatever negative or positive parental influences that could exist, this is according to Group counseling and psychotherapy with children and adolescents. I have learned that one of the most refreshing impacts concerning parents is because mainly we work with their kids who are reaching the adolescent stage in regions of their personal/social, academic success, career development, and realm. Their work comprises of working in intervention and prevention (Denno et al., 2015). Counselors help students like who undergo rough times, for instance, in adolescent and help them in enlightening their skills of resilience to be equipped better in case of hitting tough times in the future.
The adolescent stage is characterized by uneven and dramatic integration of changes that are developmental into the day to day lives of young persons. Simultaneously, teenagers experience growing independence from their families, mood swings, and at times, rapidly increasing sexuality. The tasks of talking to them usually start within the units of the family. Often, as guardians, we tend to view our teens as fragile thus visit our pediatricians or doctors since we see them as people whom to seek advice from regarding both behavioral and physiologic issues (Shechtman, 2017). The ongoing relationship with the pediatrician and the family gives for enough prospects to offer support and guidance that is anticipated as our kids get into and move through the stage of adolescence.
Determinants of Parenting
As we all know, the parent-child relationship has a massive influence on most aspects of the development of a child. When behaviors, parenting skills, and optimal capabilities have a positive effect on the school achievement or self-esteem of a child, there is positive behavior and development on the kids.
Fig: Family-Based Therapy
Some other treatment programs that can be used to work in families include family therapy, family-centered therapy, or family-based therapy. These programs change from one to the other. These are effective when it comes to family counseling and help in coming to terms with the stage or any disorder that could arise in the process.
As far as I am concerned, therapy is vital when looking at parenting approaches. This is because when an individual is a child, through adolescent to when they mature to being adults, they require guideline on being better per.

The Core Values of the Universal Child Care Organization
The universal child welfare value is the intervening ethical end aimed by the entire characteristics of the child welfare part of the practice. Also, it is a source integration of general basic values of social work because, for children, liberty comprises of the likelihood to grow as well as build up without harm as well as exploitation. The justice of children includes right to basic needs along with nurturance. Moreover, a child does not request to be produced, therefore it is children birthright. Additionally, these privileges are present for the reason that children, similar to adults, are also human beings having intrinsic as well as irreducible value. As a final point, if we do possess some selfless obligation to fellow individuals, it is particularly likely for children because we are the ones who create them to be, reliant on us, they are weak, as well as they lack power and influence.
Another important core value of the universal child welfare organization is known as transparency. through the Universal Child Welfare Organization is allowing the character of human service professionals to walk before them, and use their heart to speak boldly, clearly and with confidence on the societal issue of child welfare. Each year, more than thirty billion dollars is spent on a federal, state and local level in order to stimulate the well-being of vulnerable children and their families. However, with the core value of transparency involved in this nonprofit organization, we are able to promote ongoing quality improvement in child welfare. Even with the core value of transparency, there comes some sort of accountability within the child protection system; as the more we increase transparency in our child protection system the more aware the public is about what is taking place in a day-to-day child protection work, the less likely issues within the system will be overlooked until yet another tragedy takes place.
To contribute to the well-being of the people, groups, families, and global communities, the child welfare agency has formed numerous policy and norms to direct practiced activity, for instance, the application of change theory which will be applied by altering the performance of foster care as well as policies employed to foster care along with the community’s opinion of foster children. Also, it shall start with providing the problems to be transformed to the related parties as well as influencing them to create a way for a change in the manner foster children are treated.
What is its mission?
The mission of the Child welfare is to protect, promote, and improve the protection, wellbeing as well as the healt.
1.1 Why a Family-Centered ApproachTraditionally, schools through.docxpaynetawnya
1.1 Why a Family-Centered Approach
Traditionally, schools throughout the world have been institutions in which teachers, social workers, and educational specialists are considered the sole source of knowledge, information, and expertise, and parents are expected to support and implement the advice of these experts. Until recently, in contrast with schools, early childhood care and education programs followed a parent-oriented approach in which parents assumed a more active role. Families got together to care for each other's children; sometimes the older women in a community cared for the young children, and mothers rotated care in mother's-day-out programs. One example of high-quality family-oriented child care in the United States can be found in the Kaiser Shipyards during WWII, where mothers worked in factories building ships. These programs provided family medical care and even meals for mothers to take home after their shift in the factory (Hurwitz, 1998). However, over the years, many early childhood programs became more like schools, expecting parents to listen passively to their advice and to help implement their programs (Keyser, 2006).
The development of a family-centered early care and education approach can be traced to the federal early childhood program Head Start. Formed in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty, Head Start was developed as a comprehensive program for low-income families with preschool-age children, with a focus on parent involvement and community collaboration (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], 2012). The architects of Head Start recognized the need to work in an equal partnership with families of low-income children (Greenberg, 1969). To this end, the program was designed with very specific roles and responsibilities for parents. Program Performance Standards outline overall standards to be met in each component area. These are critical quality indicators used to ensure the program meets the unique needs of the communities and families the program serves. Component areas that must meet these performance standards include specific requirements for parent activities, such as opportunities for parents to follow a career path to become teachers in the local program. Additionally, all local Head Start programs have a governing body, known as a policy council, which must include parents. This body has direct responsibilities in a variety of areas, including approval of hiring and firing of all staff, budget and program component approval, and overall program evaluation (HHS, 2012).
The design of local Head Start programs led more and more early childhood programs to consider a shared approach to power and control. Other early childhood models (such as Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and local community-based programs) practice different degrees of the family-centered approach, depending on their unique philosophy, history, and ownership. With a family-centered approach ...

introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

What are the key principles in developing government’s social
policy for children?
Stefanus Sampe
(Political Science Program, Sam Ratulangi University, Indonesia)
ABSTRACT: This paper aims to asses the key princssiples in developing government’s social policy for
children. Social and economic changes have affected children so much. This often threatens the physical and
personality development of children. This needs the role of government to protect children from the social
changes through an appropriate policy for them. This paper focuses on the key principles required to design
government’s social policy to children which are the children’s need-oriented principle, the children’s right-
oriented principle and the children’s quality of life-oriented principle. This paper argues that there is no single
principle the best among the others because they each have strengths and weaknesses in providing properly
basis for designing government’s social policy for children. Government should combine three key principles
because they are complement each other in providing basis for designing social policy for children. This study
was conducted using literature review to reach its objectives. This study contributes to deeper understanding of
the key principles in designing government’s social policy for children.
Keywords: Children’s needs, children’s rights, children’s quality of life, convention on the rights of the child,
government’s policy
I. INTRODUCTION
This paper will answer the question on what are the key principles in developing social policy for
children and examine the existing key principles which are the children’s need-oriented principle, the children’s
right-oriented principle and the children’s quality of life-oriented principle in developing social policy for
children while arguing that no single principle is the best among the others in providing fundamental for
designing social policy for children because each has its own strengths and weaknesses. These strengths and
weaknesses make the government should combine these existing principles so that they are complement each
other in underlying social policy making process for children adequately.
II. THE CHILDREN’S NEED-ORIENTED PRINCIPLE
This principle is mainly reflected from the theories of developmental psychology which see childhood
as a developmental process of personality towards adulthood. In the developmental process of personality, a
child has particular needs [1] which are different with those of adult. These particular needs should be
progressively completed as a requirement to develop children’s personal development into adult maturity.
Theories of developmental psychology which mainly influence this approach are ‘theories of
evolutionary development’, theories of psychodynamic development and theories of cognitive development [2].
These theories argue that children are on the development process to be a mature adult. In the developmental
process children experience an important transformation gradually. Children should successfully complete this
critical transformation in order to achieve the fully mature adult. As a consequence, children who fail to fulfil
these needs in the developmental process will experience dysfunctional personality in the future.
This children’s need-oriented principle requires serious attention of parents and society as well to keep
children can meet their needs. Children in their developmental process have needs which they should fulfil with
adults’ assistance. Parents and society play important role in guide children to pass ‘the critical period’ in their
personality development process because this principle perceives children are so weak to complete their needs.
For successful developmental process from childhood to maturity children are completely dependent on adults
[3].
Social policy for children which adopts this principle focuses on children’s welfare for which parents,
society and state should makes an effort. This social policy is directed to support children to complete their
needs for example providing education, leisure activities and playgroups. Then, identification of children’s
needs is so important in developing social policy based on this principle. However, this social policy still
requires adults’ responsibilities to protect and to meet children with their needs as well.
The children’s need-approach this principle has criticism because this principle positions children as
uncompleted person which is so weak, not autonomous and depends on the adult’s guidance. This principle fails
to explain survival strength of street children in Jakarta who live freely and autonomously. The street children

www.ijhssi.org 7 | Page
look after their brothers and sisters and even their poor, weak and old parents. Even still young age, they can
survive and live in streets autonomously [4]. Moreover, it cannot prevent children abuse in family.
III. CHILDREN’S RIGHT-ORIENTED PRINCIPLE
This principle criticises the children’s need oriented principle which positions children as a bunch of
needs. This children’s right-oriented principle is constructed by idea which perceives that children are human
being as well as adults. As human being, children have rights which should be realised [5]. Recognition of
children’s rights positions children as citizens. This leads children are endowed rights as citizens [6]. Therefore,
as citizens, children should be supported as well as protected by parents, society and state to realise their rights.
Children’s right-oriented principle is brought into discussions in international level to get universal view
on forms of rights for children. In 1991 The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)
identifies the forms of rights for children to provision which encompasses children’s rights to survive and to get
access in distribution of development such as proper health care, education and appropriate standard of living;
protection which means that state has responsibility to protect children by ensuring facilities, institutions and
services match with standards of safety and health; and participation which includes freedom of expression,
freedom of association and freedom to get access to information. Through this convention document UNCRC
has set goals for designing policy for children [7]. Moreover, this principle provides opportunity to children to
do things for themselves and to take advantages from the development process in their country [8]. Therefore,
this benefits children in the countries which ratify this convention document because this can enforce the
countries to do appropriate efforts to protect and to realise children’s rights.
However, the children’s right-oriented principle emerges criticisms. This principle is difficult to
implement in developing countries because limited resources available in the countries forces the government to
give priorities to other policies rather than to policy for children. Moreover, this principle is too individualistic
in providing freedom to children. Endorsement of rights for children can lead children’s rights constrict with
parents’ rights such as right to safeguard and social values as well. This principle can decrease authority of
parents to look after their children. Whereas, children still need professionals to help them to solve the negative
circumstance which they can face [9]. In addition, this principle is inapplicable for some cultures. In Africa
children are viewed as components of a broader network rather than as an individual [10]. Therefore, this
principle is not appropriate to be the single principle in providing basis for developing social policy for children.
IV. CHILDREN’S QUALITY OF LIFE-ORIENTED PRINCIPLE
This principle emerges as criticism to the need-oriented principle and the right-oriented principle. This
principle offers alternative way to develop social policy for children [11]. This principle is built on the basis of
theory of social construction which sees children’s attitudes, beliefs and understandings as products of social
dynamics. Children’s attitudes, beliefs and understandings are reflected by their circumstances. Moreover, this
principle sees welfare not only as material conditions such as, food and housing, but also how children enjoy
their lives. However, this principle still requires adults’ intervention not only to meet children’s needs and to
protect children’s right but also to help children to solve difficulties which they face in their circumstances. So,
this principle attempts to accomplish the need and right principles.
According to Roger [12] this principle is underpinned by two elements which are of resilience and
children’s view. Resilience is ability of children which is formed by difficult circumstances to face and to deal
with problems. Parents should encourage children to activate their resilience by making them autonomous and
teaching them how to build communication with other people. This is important to make children brave to face
and deal with their problems. Moreover, parents should also listen to and appreciate children’s view, even
though it is contrary with parents’ view. Therefore, by these elements this principle positions children not as
weak person to realise their needs and right, but it makes children active to develop their personality.
This principle has advantage in providing basis to develop policy for children. The policy can provide a
remedy to children which grow in hard circumstances such as living without parents and becoming heads of
households to look after their brothers and sisters. This policy can help children who are affected by their hard
circumstances and get maturity well beyond their age to solve their problems because this principle sees them as
a full person. Therefore, this policy provides appropriate treatment for children to realise their needs and rights
in a hard circumstance.
Even though this principle is more holistic and so respectful to cultural diversity [13], it has criticism.
This principle would abandon children’s normal childhood period. As children grow within adult circumstance
without parents’ guide, they are more likely to adopt adult life style. They are not aware that the adult life style
is not suitable for them. They imitate adult attitude because adult persons surrounding them perform it. This
would be a part of social construction process which makes children become adult maturity before their age.
Therefore, this principle can make children neglecting their normal childhood period.
