Neurodevelopmental disorder is a disorder that occurs in different ways and is diagnosed in childhood involving central nervous system abnormalities. Neurodevelopmental disorder can be explained in children with autism spectrum disorder down, intellectual disability, learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cerebral palsy. Children with ncan be affected in many dimensions developmentally, experientially and environmentally. It is known that children show special conditions in various subjects from their peers due to their physical, mental, social development and brain activities being affected. It is revealed that these special conditions affect peer relations in children's social lives, cognitive issues such as problem solving, analytical thinking, language development issues such as understanding and expression, as well as the child's balance and physical activity. By processing the information coming from visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems together, the symptoms and characteristics of physical activities in body movements with the energy available by using the muscles in the balance and skeletal system are determined to a great extent. The characteristics of children with neurodevelopmental disorders, their assessment, the balance context and the level of physical activity are described.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the mediating roles of social skills and peer relationships in the association between mindfulness and spiritual well-being (SWB) among adolescents. Drawing on the mindfulness-to-meaning theory, the research sought to clarify how mindfulness supports adolescents’ spiritual well-being through social and relational mechanisms. Method: A correlational research design was employed with a sample of 761 adolescents attending high schools in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Social Skills Scale, Peer Relations Scale, and the Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale. The hypothesized serial mediation model was tested using PROCESS Macro Model 6 with 5000 bootstrap samples. Results: Mindfulness was positively associated with SWB. Both social skills and peer relationships showed significant mediating effects. The serial indirect effect through social skills and peer relationships was also significant. Conclusions: Findings highlight mindfulness as a key psychosocial resource that enhances adolescents’ spiritual well-being through improved social skills and supportive peer relationships. School-based mindfulness programs should integrate peer interaction and social skills components to promote adolescents’ holistic development.

The usage of technology is increasingly woven into the fabric of the lives of children from a young age. On the positive side, technology can provide opportunities that can support the learning and developmental phases of children, with risks being posed to attention, regulation, and eating behaviors from excessive and inappropriate usage. Frequent usage and unhealthy use of digital technology can compromise the interaction between parents and children during the feeding of the former, reduce the awareness generated from the perception of the eating process, and amplify the risk for irregular eating patterns and an increased risk for overweight and obese status. The usage of technology at various developmental phases from infancy to the adolescent phase has implications for the interaction between parents and the antecedent environment related to attitudes and contributes to the risk for the eating behaviors of the children. From the effects posed, the positive expression of technology usage from parents can be considered as a protective factor.

Amaç: Araştırmada, ergen ebeveynlerinin kuşaklararası ebeveynlik deneyimlerinde yaşadıkları zorlukların, kaygıların ve bu kaygılarla baş çıkma stratejilerinin zamana bağlı nasıl değişim gösterdiğinin karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Nitel karşılaştırmalı araştırma yaklaşımı ile tasarlanan çalışmada, ergenlik döneminde çocuğu olan ebeveynler ile ergenlik dönemini tamamlamış çocuğu olan ebeveynlerden oluşan toplam 30 katılımcı çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmış ve form aracılığıyla toplanan verilerin nitel tematik analizi ile kodlar, temalar ve alt temalar oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin ergen çocuklarıyla iletişim ve disiplin kurmada zorluklar yaşadıkları, özellikle günümüz ebeveynlerinin ergenliği anlamada yaşadıkları zorluklar ile birlikte akademik ve gelecek odaklı zorluklar yaşadıkları, ergenlik dönemini tamamlamış çocuğu olan ebeveynlerin ise ebeveynlikte yetersizlik ve tükenmişlik duygularıyla birlikte aile ve yaşam koşullarına bağlı problemler yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Ebeveyn kaygılarının özellikle olumsuz sosyal çevre ve riskli davranışlar, değerler ve inanç alanlarında olmakla birlikte günümüz ebeveynlerinin daha çok ekran süresi, internet güvenliği ve dijital ortamın olumsuz etkilerine vurgu yaptıkları görülmüştür. Ebeveynlerin kaygılarıyla baş edebilmede, iletişim kurma, kontrol ve takip, duygusal öz düzenleme ve sabır, sosyal destek alma, manevi ve bilişsel baş etme gibi stratejiler ile birlikte ergenlik dönemini tamamlamış çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin özellikle bireysel kaçınma stratejisine başvurdukları belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar: Zaman perspektifinde geçmiş ve günümüz ebeveynlerinin ergen çocuklarını yetiştirme sürecinde değişen zorluklar ve kaygılar yaşadıkları, gerçekleşen değişimin etkisiyle farklı baş etme stratejileri geliştirdikleri görülmüştür.

Telehealth is a broad digital model of service that encompasses diagnosis, assessment, monitoring, and education services, which became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parent education programs are one area in which the telehealth model is preferred. They are offered through synchronous models with professionals, asynchronous models with prerecorded content, or hybrid models. These models promote the parents' active involvement in the process. Telehealth interventions enable children to be monitored by their caregivers in their home environment and evaluated by specialists, creating a vital resource for ongoing monitoring of children. Telehealth applications for parents are supported through tele-coaching, video feedback, AI-based chatbots, and gamification methods. Parents generally report high levels of satisfaction with telehealth-based programs because of their accessibility, low cost, and the time they save. In addition, challenges include inequalities in accessing the technological tools and concerns about privacy. In conclusion, while telehealth has many advantages for parenting support, responsible use is essential.
