Adults' interpretation of invitations using the word ‘time’
This study tested whether adults perceive the ambiguity in these invitations and whether they understand the source of children's pseudotemp oral errors. We examined 401 adult participants' perceptions of invitations using the word ‘time’, varying the phrasing of the invitation (about the time vs.what happened) and whether the participant had exposure to a child's pseudotemporal response. Adults largely interpreted the invitations as requests for what happened during an event, not requests for when an event occurred. They rated the invitations as clear, not difficult and appropriate for elementary-aged children. Howeve...

Factors Associated With Stability for Children in Family Foster Care: A Study of Case Files in Six Municipalities in Sweden
This article examines the risk and protective factors for stability for these children. Data, drawn from case files in six municipalities (n = 116), combine qualitative and quantitative analyses for a comprehensive understanding. Twenty children from each municipality were selected, with 10 in stable placements (lived in one family foster home for over a year) and 10 in unstable placements (lived in at least two different family fos ter homes). Quantitative results highlight the importance of factors like familiar placements, a child's age at the time of placement, behavioural challenges and the number of children in t...

Understanding Self-determination Learning Experiences Among Taiwanese Adults with Severe Disabilities
In this study, we interviewed 10 participants from Taiwan, all of whom had severe to profound physical disabilities or multiple disabilities. Data were analyzed thematically, and the following themes regarding participants ’ self-determination experiences emerged: (1) beliefs about self-determination, (2) challenges from external interference, (3) challenges from societal and cultural influences, (4) peer support for self-determination, and (5) family support for decision-making. Findings are discussed along with im plications for the teaching of self-determination practices to relevant stakeholders. (Source: Journal of ...

Assessment of the measurement properties of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 by applying the COSMIN methodology

Assessment of the measurement properties of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 by applying the COSMIN methodology
AbstractThe Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) has been used to assess the gross and fine motor skills of children (0 –6 years); however, the measurement properties of the PDMS-2 are inconclusive. Here, we aimed to systematically review the measurement properties of PDMS-2, and synthesize the quality of evidence using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurements Instruments (COSMIN) meth odology. Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL and MEDLINE, were searched for relevant studies through January 2023; these studies used PDMS-2. The methodological qual...

Melatonin in infants —physiology, pathophysiology and intervention options
AbstractThe effectiveness of melatonin in nonorganic sleep disorders in children and adolescents has been examined in 33 randomised controlled studies [1]. This review presents the current state of knowledge on the physiology, pharmacokinetics, pathophysiology and toxicity of melatoninin infancy based on well-documented studies. Up to the third month of life, premature and full-term babies cannot produce their own melatonin, so they are dependent on exogenous supply via their own mother ’s breast milk, non-pooled breast milk or non-pooled formula. Non-pooled means that a distinction should be made between melatonin-ri...

Determinants of normal haemoglobin concentration among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa: a Positive deviance inquiry using cross-sectional study design
Conclusion
According to our finding, only four out of 10 under-five children in SSA had a normal haemoglobin level. This finding proved that anaemia among children in SSA remains a serious public health concern. Therefore, improving maternal education, provision of drugs for an intestinal parasite and early detection and treatment of maternal anaemia, febrile illness and diarrhoeal disease is important.

Development and validation of an online dynamic nomogram system for pulmonary consolidation in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia
ConclusionsWe developed a dynamic online nomogram for predicting combined pulmonary consolidation in children with MP based on 7 variables for the first time. The predictive value and clinical benefit of the nomogram model were acceptable. (Source: European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases)

Leveraging Maker Learning in STEM to Promote Children ’s Interest in Cancer Research: A Pilot Program
We describe an educational pilot program for elementary school students, using developmentally appropriate activities focused on cancer at a museum dedicated to children’s maker-centered learning and STEM. The program was implemented through a public school in Washington, DC serving students underrepresented in STEM. Program conceptualization, museum and school engagement, and maker learning pedagogy are described, as well as curricular outcomes. A total ofN = 111 students (44% female, 75% Black/African American, 5% Latine) participated in a day-long field trip. Museum educators, assisted by cancer center researchers...

Clinical and molecular outcomes from the 5-Year natural history study of SSADH Deficiency, a model metabolic neurodevelopmental disorder
ConclusionsFindings from the SSADHD Natural History Study converge with iPSC and animal model work focused on a common disorder within our IDDRC, deepening our knowledge of the pathophysiology and longitudinal clinical course of a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. This further enables the identification of biomarkers and changes throughout development that will be essential for upcoming targeted trials of enzyme replacement and gene therapy.

Comment: Injuries that Hurt – A Comment to “Embitterment – Conception of a Potential Moderator to Dysfunctional and Aggressive Behaviour in Children and Adolescents”
AbstractThis comment discusses the article of Balder and Linden (2022), who debate the existence and role of embitterment in child and adolescent psychopathology. This topic appears highly relevant, but broader literature should be integrated when talking about embitterment. First, we question the conceptualization of embitterment as an emotion. We conceptualize it as a long-term emotion episode that stems from events involving severe and unresolved hurt feelings, also referred to as attachment injuries and narcissistic injuries. When overly intense, they might lead to PTED. In contrast to Balder and Linden (2022), we argu...

The role of the health visitor: where are we now?
Health visiting has been described as the backbone of early years services across the UK and the safety net around all families. This paper explores the role of health visitors and the current context in England. Health visitors lead and deliver the Healthy Child Programme which is the national preventative public health programme covering pregnancy and the first five y ears of life. It aims to ensure that every child has the best start in life, regardless of where they live. With child health deteriorating, more children falling behind with their development, growing concerns about invisible vulnerable children, wide...

The experience of children with disabilities and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic: what lessons can we learn?
COVID-19 has had serious, negative impacts on children's health and development. But the impacts have not been felt equally. Disabled children and their families have been hit particularly hard. In this paper we summarize UK legislation to limit the spread of the virus and describe how services to disabled children changed as a result. We discuss the long-term deleterious impacts of changes in service provision on the health and wellbeing of disabled children and the parent carers supporting them.
