7existence in a hybrid world, which includes real interaction, remains. The main goal of the study is to show that the digital shifts that interfere with the socialization of children occur as computerized interactions are forcing the cultural and anthropological values of the pre-digital stage to the periphery. The methodological strategy includes comparative analysis. The main results include the fixation of "new" norms and values of digital existence. The function of "content viewer" and "network practices agent" becomes dominant. Life "face to the screen" determines natures of thinking, in which cause-and-effect relationships and holistic perceptions of information are lost. The level of meaningfulness of information is reduced, and the ability for critical thinking, which is necessary for the realization of personal potential, disappears. There is not only a loss of independence and increase in social immaturity, but also the fundamental helplessness is instilled when the gadget is not at hand. In conclusion, we emphasize that, firstly, digital life, providing simulated analogues of real life, leads to digital loneliness. The rapid development of digital technologies points to the trend of the global spread of the "hikikomori syndrome". Secondly, the desire to transfer active abilities to the Network is accompanied by the transfer of gamification to real life. A child gamer prefers video games to communication with real friends and adults, forming a strong gambling addiction. Thirdly, the forms of networked communication that permeate the entire school culture, which is built on digital technologies, are fraught with new risks and vulnerabilities.

Abstract: Since the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic by WHO and then by all countries, including Indonesia, many medical and psychological impacts have been experienced by the community, including children. Data from the Indonesian COVID 19 Task Force obtained on July 16, 2021, after the Delta variant had a major impact on the rate of infection, shows that, of all confirmed cases of COVID-19 (2.4 million), there were 351,336 cases of children under the age of 18. The latest data (February 2022) from the Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) found 7,190 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in children. Although in recent months there have been indications that the numbers of new positive cases of COVID-19 are relatively low and the government is intensively increasing vaccination programs for children, we must be wary of new variants of COVID-19, such as those potentially causing acute hepatitis and new viruses such as monkeypox, which will certainly have a significant impact on children. Many psychological problems have arisen in children due to the pandemic, among which are psychological pressure due to online learning, internet addiction, and increased violence against children. Various psychological impacts that occur as a result of the pandemic on children indicate the need to build and maintain resilience. As for the strategy in building tough children, there are several things that must be done. These include seeing the positive side of the pandemic, implementing self-care, limiting the use of social media, actively seeking social support, and discipline in health protocols. Resilience related to mental health does not arise by itself. Thus, it is necessary to have social support from family, school, the community, and government. Improved resilience can be achieved by the following: self-care through various means, including providing information about services that are easily accessible to children, webinars, various guides to overcome children's anxiety and mental disorders, videos that can increase children's awareness of the importance of mental health, and hotlines that are easily accessible to children. The hotline (119 ext. 8) was initiated by the Presidential Staff Office together with the government agencies Indonesian National Telecommunications Company and Indonesian Psychological Association (HIMPSI).

The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of the modern media entertainment discourse on children and to conduct a comparative analysis of the perceptions of school-age children of the heroes of domestic and foreign cartoons, based on screening domestic and foreign fairy tales with similar plots. The study was conducted using methods of psychosemantic scaling and subsequent factorization of data. The factor structures revealed during the study reproduced the semantic spaces of consciousness of schoolchildren who were viewers of the Russian cartoon "The Frog Princess" and the American "The Princess and the Frog", as well as the Russian cartoon "The Scarlet Flower" and the American "Beauty and the Beast", each with similar fairytale plots. The study involved 40 adolescents from 13 to 16 years old (23 boys and 17 girls). Only six factors were identified, the total variance of the data was 70.9%. Factor 1 - moral and ethical 19.8%, 2 -charismatic 17.8%, 3 - strength, courage, and sociability 12.9%, 4 - psychological distance 7.7%, 5 - the dangers of behavior 7.1%, 6 - cunning and intelligence 5.7%. Significant differences in the perception of the characters' images were obtained by the first, second, fourth and sixth factors. In conclusion, it was possible to state differences between schoolchildren's perceptions of cartoon heroes from different cultural traditions.

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting closure of daycare centers worldwide, led to unprecedented changes in children's learning environments. This period of increased time at home with caregivers, with limited access to external sources (e.g., daycares) provided a unique opportunity to examine the associations between the caregiver-child activities and children's language development. The vocabularies of 1742 children aged 8-36 months across 13 countries and 12 languages were
