Elementary School Childrens Development Viewed from The Children ’ s Health Perspective : An Integrative Review

This study aimed to ascertain the development of elementary school children in the digital age from their health perspective. This integrative review is aimed at creating a health program for elementary school children in order to guide health workers in creating meaningful, focused, and structured activities that will address their health needs in the digital age. The integrative review as a methodology provides a synthesis of knowledge and the applicability of results of significant studies into practice. Its objective is to present the phases of children’s health in an integrative review so that relevant aspects of the literatures will be taken into account when using this methodological resource. As the influence of digital technology-and especially the internet—has increased, the debate about its effect on elementary school children’s development has grown louder. We wonder, is the internet a threat to their over-all health and well-being? Digital dependency has shown to have a possible impact on brain development and cognition of elementary school children. In conclusion, the digital technology has already changed the world—and as more and more children go online around the world, it is increasingly changing childhood (UNICEF, 2017).

INTRODUCTION
~ This study aimed to ascertain the development of elementary school children in the digital age from their health perspective.This integrative review is creating a health advocacy for elementary school children in order of our lives set us on the path leading toward-or away fromgood health.There is strong evidence that demonstrates the effects of early childhood interventions, especially for children with the greatest social and economic advantage, to good health.Therefore, families of all socio-economic levels must experience the benefits from early childhood programs that translate into improved development and health.It is because improving early childhood social circumstances in this digital age is one of the most effective ways for a internet of things, artificial intelligence and machine learning are creating new opportunities as well as new challenges.In UNICEF's (2017) state of the World's Children-Children in a Digital World, it has stated some key messages about the development of elementary school children in the digital age.Digital technology has already changed the world-and as more and more children go online around the world, it is increasingly changing childhood.Smartphones are fuelling a "bedroom culture" with online access for many children becoming more personal, more private and less supervised.Connectivity can be a game changer for some of the world's most marginalized children, helping them fulfill their potential and break intergenerational cycles of poverty.Digital technologies are bringing opportunities for learning and education to children, especially in remote regions and during humanitarian crises.Digital access is becoming the new dividing line, as millions of the children who could most benefit from digital technology are missing out.Digital divides also mirror prevailing economic gaps, amplifying the advantages of children from wealthier backgrounds and failing to deliver opportunities to the poorest and most disadvantaged children.Digital technology can also make children more susceptible to harm both online and off.Already vulnerable children may be at greater risk of harm, including loss of privacy.While attitudes vary by culture, children often turn first to their peers when they experience the risks and harm online, making it harder for parents to protect them.The potential impact of Internet Computer Technology's on children's health and happiness is a matter of growing public concern-and an area that is ripe for future research and data.Although most children who are online view it as a positive experience, many parents and teachers worry that immersion in screens is making children depressed, better or for worse.The internet has changed how children form and maintain their friendships, allowing them to maintain almost-constant contact with peers.They have also transformed how children spend their leisure time, providing them with a constant feed of videos, social media updates and highly immersive games.But many adults fear these changes are not all for the better, Pearl Ed G. Cuevas, Elementary School Childrens Development Viewed… [134] and worry that excessive screen time is isolating children from their families and surroundings, fuelling depression and even making children obese.

Goldilocks' approach to children's screen time-not too much, not too little-and focusing more on what children are doing online, can better protect them and help them make the most of their time online.Even as the internet and digital entertainment have spurred tremendous creativity and expanded children's access to a wealth of enriching and entertaining content, a question is also raised related can shape the children's view of the world and even of themselves.Children in this age group begin to form ideas mentally.Children who have been introduced to the computer early on are expected to be more advance in this development.There are computer games that help them even in the next level of mental development, such as sequencing and ordering, preparing the way for math skills.During this stage, children form a more advanced understanding of numbers as the computer has already introduced this to them early on.Elementary children also tend to talk as they learn, and they learn better if active while learning.This is perhaps the best contribution of the computer that helps our children become multi-taskers.Normally, their interest span is short, for about 20 minutes, unless when they are engrossed in the computer.However, there is a clear gap in children's knowledge about risks online, and despite rapidly increasing usage among elementary children, many lack digital skills and the critical ability to gauge the safety and credibility of content and relationships they experience online.This reflects a need for a more widespread digital literacy opportunity that can both safeguard and empower children.Gaps in our knowledge about children's lives online, including the impact of connectivity on a range of areas, such as cognition, learning and social emotional development, make it more difficult to develop dynamic policies that get ahead of issues by addressing risks and making Pearl Ed G. Cuevas, Elementary School Childrens Development Viewed… [136] the most of opportunities.Gaps in our understanding of how children feel about their experience of connectivity-including their perception of risks-further limit us.One thing is certain, by protecting children from the worst digital technology has to offer, and expanding their access to the best, we can tip the balance for the better (Lake in UNICEF 2017).DISCUSSIONS In conclusion, the digital technology has already changed the world-and as more and more children go online around the world, it is increasingly changing childhood (UNICEF, 2017).Schools should provide children with the basic rules and awareness of internet use and abuse, to collect and distribute child sexual abuse images or commit other violations against children.Media stories about the potential impact of connectivity on children's healthy development and well-being should be grounded in empirical research and data analysis.must give children lots of positive feedback for good behavior and let the child help define rules.This will build self-esteem and cut down negative behaviors.Since this is the age of being competitive, encourage non-competitive games and help your child set individual goals.There must also be open "reporting" of activities to family.Parents need to set aside time specifically to listen and talk to children with no interruptions.It is important that parents help the child develop problem-solving skills.Encourage children to ask the wisdom of elders when they have questions about life and not merely to google the answer.Adults need to give children measured doses of realistic information to help them handle their fears.Remember that a positive selfconcept continues to develop with successful experiences.Communicate with children about why self-control is important and why they should learn to be patient, share and respect the rights of others.Physically, muscle coordination and control is uneven and incomplete.Parents need to encourage the child to participate in activities using high energy.Children of this age need 10-12 hours of sleep each night.For children who learned computer use early, parents may Mimbar Sekolah Dasar, Volume 5 Number 3 December 2018 [137] encourage them to work briefly with small motor tasks, then switch to running and jumping as this is important in physical development.At this stage, children begin to learn the value of "work".They need regular, realistic chores at home and school.As they now begin to understand the value and uses of money.A Nurse-family partnership and parents as teacher's activity is recommended to provide parent training and supportive guidance with the goal of increasing parents' self-efficacy and life skills.Children who participate in early child development programs are more likely to be healthy, have higher earnings as adults, and are less likely to commit crimes and receive public assistance.These benefits translate into tremendous savings for society (Braveman & Egerter, 2008).This study hopes to help guide more effective policymaking and more responsible parental practices to benefit children in a digital age.This current knowledge tells us that investing in improving our children's development in this digital age is probably the most effective strategy in realizing their health potential for the future.CONCLUSION In conclusion, the digital technology has already changed the world-and as more and more children go online around the world, it is increasingly changing childhood (UNICEF, 2017).The integrative literature review showed an evaluation on the strength of scientific evidence on the development of elementary school children and the effect of the digital age into the children's social, physical and mental health.

The Evidence Linking Early Childhood Experiences With Health
