In this scale, participants were presented with a 10 step "social ladder" and asked to place an "X" on the step they perceived as their social standing in comparison with the rest of the United States in terms of income, education and occupation prestige. Finally, the authors also acquired structural neuroimagi...

All I needed to know about marriage I learned in a child development book&h
2008-01-14 03:36:00 Given my grumpiness lately and Kid’s around-ness with winter break, I recently decided to check out Your Four-Year-Old: Wild and Wonderful by Louise Ames. It’s part of a child development series of books (Your One-Year-Old: The Fun-Loving, Fussy 12-To 24-Month-Old, Your Two-Year-Old: Terrible or Tender, etc.). They may be somewhat dated, but the best thing is…..they’re SHORT! Which is crucial when you start reading after 9pm and fall asleep sometimes at the sound of a book opening. At the time, I needed some OBJECTIVITY, or at least VALIDATION, so I turned to the books. You do this, right? As an example of my research needs, I wanted to know if CONSTANT BADGERING is normal for this age, and there it was. YUP. But then, things took a turn. Possibly it was the late hour, or my tired eyes, but as I kept reading I began to wonder to WHOM this book may also apply…. p. 34, Things to Avoid: 2. Don’t fuss too much and certainly don’t wor...

Child Development
2007-08-10 06:04:00 I have been a reading baby information website. It is about 75% of normal 15-month-olds should be saying at least five words consisting of “mama”, “dada” and at least 3 other nouns. As a stay-at-home-mom, your role is to take care of the family, especially the children. I cannot avoid worrying so much about my baby’s development. I am wondering why, when my daughter reached to 24 months old, she wasn’t talking yet. She could only say “mama.” As I observed, with my friend’s children in the Philippines, they started to talk as early as 15 to 18 months of age. Although, I can admit, I can't help but feel a little jealous; because I did not understand why my daughter is not as advanced as the other children. Some friends told me that we cannot compare children’s development and expect them all to be the same. Some will develop early and some are late. One thing that impressed me with my daughter is that her motor skills are very good. She can perform along with ac...

What Every Girl Should Know

TV Is An Experiment On Our Children
2006-04-08 03:11:00 I caught a post on Bioethics.net referring to an article in New Scientist on the work of Dimitri Christakis and Frederick Zimmerman, from the University of Washington in Seattle. Christakis and Zimmerman wrote an editorial in the latest issue of the journal Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. It contained this quote: We?re conducting a large uncontrolled experiment on our children and waiting to see what the results will be. I first became concerned about the effects of television during my training as a clinical social worker. I recognized the strong effect advertisements had on me, especially as a child. I was a TV addict as a child. I probably watched as much as six hours a day from preschool through high school. I remembered begging my parents for certain products I'd seen advertised on TV and the feeling of gratification when I got my way, and the deprivation I felt when refused. "All my friends have it," I'd complain. The truth is, I seldom really knew anyone ...

Interpreting Children's Behavior
2006-03-22 19:50:00 Mental Notes had a great post a few days ago listing the kinds of indications to look for in understand if your child is suffering from a serious problem. Behavior can mean many things, often because of the context of situation. You may need help to figure out what needs the attention. I will take issue with one of his assertions. While it is true that a full assessment takes a lot of time and there is very little incentive from the doctor's perspective to do the full diagnostic and medicating as a trial is a widely used method of diagnostics, I'd advocate for the full evaluation before medicating. There are too many stories of "kids like zombies" floating around to say nothing about this. Bring your child to a mental health professional who will take a full 45 to 60 minute evaluation, or more to determine a diagnostic of ADHD. I've known several clinicians in my community who will take 2 to 3 sessions to do a complete background including some standardized tests. I think that...
