A Pilot Study of a Tablet-Based Emotion Regulation Intervention for Early Adolescents
Conclusion: A digital intervention to enhance ER skills for youth in early adolescence was feasible and demonstrated promising indicators of impact on emotional competence. Increasing adolescents' awareness of and access to ER strategies could reduce decisions driven by transient emotions, which in turn may reduce engagement in risk behaviors and resultant negative health outcomes. This brief tablet-based intervention has the potential to be self-administered and used to increase emotional competency. (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

Embedding Financial Services in Frequented, Trusted Settings: Building on Families' Pre-existing Economic Mobility Efforts
Conclusion: Financial services may be more acceptable and used if they are embedded in trusted organizations and have expert, supportive staff with lived experience who empower guardians to work toward their economic goals, accessible platforms, and effective publicity. These characteristics may facilitate uptake and economic mobility. Trusted organizations serving young families can partner with financial services to test these findings and help families build economic mobility.

Assessment of Executive Function in Infants and Toddlers: A Potential Role of the Bayley-4
Conclusion: Executive function tasks in infants and toddlers are interrelated with task content either remaining the same or changing with advancing age (i.e., content that is homotypic or heterotypic, respectively). EFs measured by Bayley-4 items are useful clinically and become more complex with increasing age, corresponding to more advanced brain development and integration. The findings have the potential of providing additional information in the assessment of infants at risk such as those born preterm. (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

Diagnostic Overshadowing: Insidious Neuroregression Mimicking Presentation of Autism Spectrum Disorder
CASE: Zac is a 13-year-old boy who presented with his parents to developmental-behavioral pediatrics seeking diagnostic clarity. He was born by vaginal delivery at full term after an uncomplicated pregnancy. Developmental milestones were met at typical ages until he was noted to have language delay and to be hyperactive and impulsive on entering preschool at age 4 years. Although he used some phrases in speech, he often used physical force to take toys from other children, rather than using words. On entering preschool at age 4 years, he was noted to have language delay (i.e., continued use of phrase speech only) an...

Is Developmental Regression in Down Syndrome Linked to Life Stressors?
Conclusion: Psychosocial stressors are commonly reported preceding URDS. Knowledge about psychosocial stressors' impact may lead to preventive interventions, improved monitoring, and earlier diagnosis. Future research should focus on understanding psychosocial stressors to help identify individuals at risk for URDS and contribute to treatment.
