“…The mean scores of the following subscales were similar to those of this study: 'Eating meals together as a family' and 'Talking with the partner about the child' were higher than or close to 4 (Sawada et al, 2022). This nding may also be associated with the cultural and household characteristics of Mongolians.…”

The main purpose of this study was to assess the quality of the childcare environment among parents of children with disabilities. The study also looks at the factors that influence the childcare environment and assesses the validity of using the Index of Child Care Environment in the context of Mongolia, particularly for children with disabilities. A total of 84 parents with disabled children were surveyed based on their self-reported responses, and the child care environment was assessed using the Index of Child Care Environment. Simple descriptive analysis, the X2 test, and logistic regression analyses were used for quantitative data analysis. All the statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS version 27. The qualitative methods were used to obtain deeper insights into parents’ perceptions and attitudes in relation to the study subjects. Content analysis was used for qualitative data analysis. The study results revealed that the Index of Child Care Environment can be used to assess the quality of the child care environment in Mongolia. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that parents’ education, employment status, and accommodation type were significantly related to the child care environment. On the other hand, the children’s age was significantly related to going shopping with parents and meeting children of similar ages. The children’s gender was related to reading books with their parents. The study also revealed that the quality of the child care environment was not sufficient for the selected parents. Further studies with more diverse settings are required to identify and assess child care environments in Mongolia to identify local-based strategies and models for caring for children in a local culture-based context.

“…This suggests that the care environment of all children should be taken into consideration by parents and professionals. According to the social support, human and social involvement subscales, the mean scores of the child care index were much lower in Mongolia than in Japan in 2022 (Sawada et al, 2022).…”

“…The quality of the childrearing environment is critical for healthy development. A safe nurturing environment, positive interactions and sharing time with parents are in a positive direct relation to the child’s development [ 2 ]. Negative influences such as poverty, poor nutrition, under-stimulating environments and unhealthy surroundings can impede and restrain development [ 3 ].…”

Background Child development is shaped throughout the first years of life through the interaction of genetics and the environment. Bayley-III is valuably used to determine early developmental delay (DD). The aim of this study was to detect the differences in performance of a sample of apparently healthy Egyptian infants and toddlers on the Bayley-III scales in relation to their age and gender. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Bayley scales were applied to 270 of the 300 recruited children following the inclusion criteria; to avoid potential risk factors affecting development. Assessment included cognitive, language and motor skills. Engaged children aged 18–42 months were divided into 4 age groups with six-month intervals. Results Approximately 78.4%, 76.2%, and 72% of the participants had average and above average scores in the cognitive, motor, and language domains, respectively. The language domain was characteristically impacted. The oldest age group (36–42 months) scored the highest means composite scores, while the 2nd group aged 24 - <30 months, scored the lowest means in the three evaluated domains. In general, girls had non-significantly higher composite scores than boys, with a small effect size (d = 0.2–0.4). In the language domain, girls aged 30 to < 36 months scored significantly higher composite scores than boys (p < 0.05), with a medium effect size (d = 0.73). Conclusion The study indicates that the performance of apparently healthy Egyptian children on the Bayley III evaluation differs in relation to age and sex. The most vulnerable age group at potential risk of DD was children aged 24–30 months. Efforts must be directed to investigate the nutritional, physical, psychological and safety needs of this group. Attention must be paid to early childhood intervention programs that stimulate development, especially language development, and they must be tailored on the basis of age and gender. Gender-specific norms may be needed in the evaluation of language development.
