A study from Stanford University found that children in high-performing schools who spend an average of over 3 hours per night on homework experience high levels of stress and health issues. The researchers studied over 4,300 students and found that while homework increased engagement, it also led to stress, lack of sleep, headaches, and stomach problems. Students reported that homework often took priority over activities, hobbies, and spending time with friends. The article provides tips for parents if their children seem overwhelmed, such as checking workload, study habits, procrastination, medical issues, and communicating with teachers.
This study investigated the association between joint physical custody arrangements and psychosomatic problems in children using data from a national survey of Swedish 6th and 9th grade students. The study found that:
1) Children in joint physical custody reported fewer psychosomatic problems than children living mostly or only with one parent, but more problems than children from nuclear families.
2) Satisfaction with material resources and relationships with parents was associated with psychosomatic health but did not fully explain differences between living arrangements.
3) Girls reported more psychosomatic problems overall compared to boys, with sadness being the most common problem reported by girls across living arrangements.
55.9% of children ages 6-17 have electronic devices in their bedrooms, with most of their time spent using one. On average, high school students are assigned 3.5 hours of weekly homework, middle school students 3.2 hours, and elementary students 3.5 hours. 80% of students come to school hungry at least once a week, while 82.7% of students ages 12-17 participate in extracurricular activities outside of school like clubs and sports. 31.3% of children ages 10-17 are considered overweight or obese.
Parents of successful kids tend to have 9 things in common: they teach social skills and have high expectations; the mothers work; they have higher socioeconomic status and educational attainment; they teach math early on; they develop strong relationships with their kids; they are less stressed; and they value effort over avoiding failure. Studies have found correlations between these parenting factors and children's later success in academics and career.
This document summarizes research examining the relationship between early childhood health and cognitive outcomes using data from the Growing Up in Ireland survey. The research finds that some measures of child ill health are associated with significantly lower vocabulary and reasoning test scores at age 5, independent of demographics, socioeconomic factors, and educational environment. Specifically, conditions impacting daily life and poor health as reported by caregivers showed associations with lower scores. While the health factors explained only a small percentage of test score variation, the effect sizes were not insubstantial. The conclusions call for further research using larger datasets to examine additional health measures and older age groups.

The document summarizes research on the long-term effects of early childhood experiences and interventions. It finds high correlations between skills at school entry and later achievement. Experimental studies show early intervention programs improved outcomes like IQ, education levels, and employment. High-quality early childhood programs were linked to better language and academic skills into elementary school, especially for low-income children. Adoption studies also showed environmental influences on IQ, with adopted children's scores changing to match their new socioeconomic status.

The document describes a web-based learning project in pediatric anesthesia between the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) and the European Society of Paediatric Anaesthesiology (ESPA). The project aims to establish an e-learning platform using 250 video presentations from past ESPA conferences on topics like coagulation, adverse respiratory events, and neurotoxicity. Initial results included 3 modules with videos, questions, and case studies. The project formalized a collaboration between SSAI and ESPA and hopes to expand the network and resources over time while maintaining the platform.
A comparison study on academic performance between ryerson (1)amo0oniee
This study compared the academic performance of Ryerson University ECS students who attended homecare versus childcare in their early years. The researchers hypothesized that students who attended childcare would have a higher GPA. A survey was conducted of 53 random ECS students across years 1-4. The results of a chi-square test showed no significant difference in GPA ranges between the homecare and childcare groups, not supporting the hypothesis. While early care may impact early school performance, the study found no long-term effects on university GPA based on type of early care received.

Reunification Between Parents & Their Children Who Were Placed in Foster CareDr. Glenda Clare (LION)
Associate Professor Fernandez found that child welfare systems were lacking in their efforts to provide interventions to enhance reunification between parents and their children who had been placed into the foster care system.
This document discusses evidence-based practice in education. It begins by explaining why evidence-based practice is needed using an analogy of a doctor prescribing medication without examining a patient. The document then outlines a model of evidence-based practice that uses multiple sources of evidence, including research, expertise, student data and context. It discusses some common misconceptions, such as evidence-based practice ignoring teacher expertise. Tools for evidence-based practice like the PICO framework for forming questions are introduced. The document concludes by presenting a theory of action for how evidence-based practice can improve student outcomes through changes in teacher and leader behavior.
The document summarizes an asthma intervention program launched by the Worcester Prevention & Wellness Trust Fund Asthma Task Force. The program targets high-risk pediatric asthma patients through home visits conducted by community health workers, referrals to legal aid for housing issues, and school-based programs. Data shows the program reduced emergency room visits and absenteeism. Challenges include data tracking across multiple health records systems and high provider demands. Next steps include improving hospital discharge processes and expanding the healthy schools project.
This document discusses the rise in food allergies among school-aged children and the need for schools to improve their preparedness. It notes that food allergies affect 6-8% of elementary students and have increased 18% in the past decade. While most schools have emergency plans, few follow guidelines from FAAN (Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network). The research aims to understand what makes schools' plans successful in ensuring student safety from allergic reactions. It concludes that food allergies are increasing in children, schools are underprepared to handle emergencies, and more education is needed for parents, teachers and students on food safety.
1) The document discusses two projects aimed at improving self-management skills and transition to independence in teenage patients with chronic illnesses like lupus.
2) A survey of 52 teenagers with chronic illnesses found low proficiency in many self-care skills needed for independence, even among older teenagers.
3) An analysis found that adults diagnosed with lupus as teenagers were 50% less likely to be employed than those diagnosed as adults, suggesting poor self-management skills may impact long-term health and career outcomes.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are developmental disabilities characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, as well as restricted behaviors. While the causes of ASD are unclear, research suggests both genetic and environmental factors may play a role. Some studies have found higher rates of ASD diagnoses in recent decades, coinciding with rising childhood immunization rates, leading some parents to question whether vaccines could be linked to ASD. However, several medical organizations have examined this potential link and rejected it based on large studies finding no connection. While the debate continues, effective educational programs and family support remain important.
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between student transiency (mobility) and academic performance. The study aimed to determine if transiency negatively impacts student achievement in reading and math. It hypothesized that increased student mobility would correlate with lower test scores. The study analyzed test scores of 89 3rd grade students, categorizing them as non-mobile, mobile, or highly mobile. It found no statistically significant differences in reading or math scores between the three groups. Therefore, the study concluded that transiency did not significantly impact 3rd grade student achievement as measured by standardized tests in this sample.
The document discusses how lack of sleep can negatively impact students' learning and performance in school. It presents several studies that show moving school start times later can result in students sleeping more and experiencing benefits such as higher test scores, fewer absences, and more time spent on homework. The document advocates aligning school schedules with teenagers' natural circadian rhythms to improve their health, safety, and academic success.
1. The document discusses an intervention program for children and adolescents with ADHD that aimed to improve working memory. It provided cognitive training over 10 full days and assessed working memory before and after using tests.
2. The results found no significant changes between pre-and post-test working memory scores and no relationship between memory and the intervention. There was also no difference between children and adolescents' memory scores.
3. The study had limitations as the sample was small without a control group. Future research should include larger samples and test in school/home settings to better assess real-world impacts.
This study aims to validate the PICCOLO assessment for measuring parenting skills by comparing it to the gold-standard Crowell assessment. The researchers hypothesize that subscales of the shorter PICCOLO will correlate with subscales of the Crowell when administered during parent-child free play and teaching tasks. Preliminary findings provide partial support for correlations between the Responsiveness and Affection subscales of the PICCOLO and Emotional Responsiveness and Positive Affect subscales of the Crowell. Encouragement subscales significantly correlated across assessments. However, correlations between Teaching and Behavioral Responsiveness were not significant or trending negative. This study could help determine if the briefer PICCOLO is
This study examined play and joint attention in 27 children with autism compared to 28 children with other developmental delays in public preschool special education classrooms. The results showed that children with autism spent more time unengaged and less time engaged in symbolic play and joint attention behaviors. Teachers also seldom focused directly on symbolic play and joint attention in their teaching. This suggests the importance of educating teachers to target these skills for children with autism.

The document discusses using media tools to improve collaboration and communication within a sorority with over 200 members. It notes that as officers transition each year, important documents are often lost. Using tools like Google Docs, GroupMe, and Basecamp would allow current and future officers to collaboratively create and store documents, better communicate through group messaging, and discuss department information to continue making progress from year to year. This would help reduce the problem of losing documents during transitions and allow new officers to focus on their roles rather than recreating old documents.

A Review Of Research On The Effects Of Early Childhood Education And Care (EC...Scott Faria
This document reviews international research on the impact of early childhood education and care (ECEC) on child development. It finds that high-quality ECEC is associated with benefits for children's development, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. However, low-quality care can sometimes have negative effects. While research on preschool-aged children is consistent, evidence for younger children is more mixed, with some studies finding positive effects and others finding negative or null effects, depending on factors like quality of care and family background. The document provides a comprehensive overview of research from different countries and programs, finding both individual and societal benefits from high-quality ECEC.
This document examines factors that may contribute to achievement gaps in early childhood test scores. It discusses previous studies that both found and failed to find observable gaps between children of different backgrounds. The document then reviews literature on early childhood development, noting that a child's environment and experiences can significantly influence brain development. Finally, it discusses factors studied like neighborhood crime and parents' education levels that are used to represent a child's socioeconomic status and learning environment. The authors aim to determine if socioeconomic status impacts test scores in Ontario between grades 3 and 6.
The long term benefits of early childhood education RaydaXo
The document summarizes a journal article that examined the long-term benefits of early childhood education. The study found that providing high-quality early education to children from poor families contributed to better academic performance, social skills, emotional maturity, and behavior compared to children who did not receive such education. It assessed students in the Opportunity Project program, which provides early learning opportunities, finding they performed better in math and reading and were less likely to need special education than children not in the program. The study supports the link between quality early education and positive psychological development.

Until the last decade, studies of the timing of early symptom emergence in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relied
upon retrospective methods. Recent investigations, however, are raising significant questions about the accuracy
and validity of such data. Questions about when and how behavioral signs of autism emerge may be better
answered through prospective studies, in which infants are enrolled near birth and followed longitudinally until
the age at which ASD can be confidently diagnosed or ruled out. This review summarizes the results of recent
studies that utilized prospective methods to study infants at high risk of developing ASD due to family history.
Collectively, prospective studies demonstrate that the onset of ASD involves declines in the rates of key social
and communication behaviors during the first years of life for most children. This corpus of literature suggests
that regressive onset patterns occur much more frequently than previously recognized and may be the rule rather
than the exception.
1. Introduction
The onset of behavioral signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is
usually conceptualized as occurring in one of two ways: an early onset
pattern, in which children demonstrate delays and deviances in social
and communication development early in life, and a regressive pattern,
in which children develop largely as expected for some period and then
experience a substantial decline in or loss of previously developed
skills. While it was long believed that the majority of children with ASD
demonstrated an early onset pattern, more recent studies suggest that
regressive onset occurs more frequently than previously recognized
(Brignell et al., 2017; Hansen et al., 2008; Kern et al., 2015; Pickles
et al., 2009; Shumway et al., 2011; Thurm et al., 2014; for a review, see
meta-analysis by Barger et al., 2013). Studies occasionally also identify
a third onset pattern, that of developmental stagnation or plateau
(Shumway et al., 2011), that is characterized by intact early skills that
fail to progress or transform into more advanced developmental
achievements. This onset pattern is distinct from regression, in that the
child does not lose acquired skills, but instead fails to make expected
gains.

Evaluating PICCOLO Scores Against the Crowell Is the PICCOLO Valid with Pare...Felicia Nicole Ghrist
This document discusses using the PICCOLO assessment tool to evaluate parenting skills with parents in the child welfare system. It summarizes previous research showing poor outcomes for infants who experience maltreatment. The study aims to validate the PICCOLO for use with maltreating parents by comparing PICCOLO scores to the Crowell assessment during free play and teaching tasks. It hypothesizes the PICCOLO scales will correlate with Crowell scales, and scores during teaching will correlate stronger. The study analyzes videos of 10 parent-child dyads before and after a parenting program through a Baby Court project.

Summary of What the Graphs Say about the Student
Assessment frames learning, creates learning activity, and orients all aspects of the knowledge acquisition process. Nonetheless, it attempts to introduce more realistic and meaningful tasks, providing broader and reliable indicators of student achievement. Several positive effects on learning have been identified and students strongly support new methods of assessment. Problems inevitably arise, since the level playing field of the exam room remains unchallenged and should be replaced with new means of establishing fairness, reliability, and validity, by embracing innovative a ...

Peer Acceptance in the School Class and
Subjective Health Complaints: A Multilevel
Approach
YLVA B. ALMQUIST, PhDa BITTE MODIN, PhDb LILLY AUGUSTINE, PhDc
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Feeling accepted by peers is important for young people’s health but few studies have examined the overall
degree of acceptance in school and its health consequences. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether health
complaints among Swedish students can be attributed to the acceptance climate in their school class even when the health
effects of their own (individual) acceptance score have been taken into account.
METHODS: The data used were from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study for the years 2001 to 2002,
2005 to 2006, and 2009 to 2010, consisting of 13,902 5th-, 7th-, and 9th-grade Swedish students nested into 742 school classes.
The statistical analyses were performed by means of linear regression multilevel analysis.
RESULTS: The results indicated that the variation in subjective health complaints could be ascribed partly to the school-class
level (boys: 5.0%; girls: 13.5%). Peer acceptance at the individual level demonstrated a clear association with health: the lower
the acceptance, the higher the complaint scores. For girls, but not for boys, the overall degree of peer acceptance in the school
class demonstrated a contextual effect on health, net of acceptance at the student level. Interaction analyses also revealed an
increasingly favorable health among poorly accepted girls as the acceptance climate in the school class declined.
CONCLUSIONS: A lower overall degree of peer acceptance in the school class is associated with poorer health among girls.
However, girls who themselves feel poorly accepted are not as negatively affected health-wise by a poor acceptance climate, as
are well-accepted girls.
Keywords: school class; children; peer acceptance; health complaints; multilevel analysis; Sweden.

The need to feel accepted by others is one of thegreat forces that drive human behavior.1 This is
perhaps especially true during adolescence, which is a
period in life when young people invest much energy
in peer relationships.2 The school class constitutes a
central context for peer interaction, where students
are required to interact with peers on a daily basis
to maintain their social anchorage.3 It is, therefore,
reasonable to assume that students who feel accepted
by their classmates enjoy better health and well-being
compared to those who do not. The ‘‘classroom
climate’’ in terms of overall acceptance toward peers

Lack of Parental Supervision and Psychosocial Development of Children of Scho...ijtsrd
This study sought to investigate lack of parental supervision and psychosocial development of children of school going age in Buea sub division of the South West Region. A mixed research method was used. Data collected from the administration of questionnaires with pupils and the interview data from interview sessions with parents were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative data analytical techniques respectively. In relation to questionnaire data, we adopted the quantitative technique of data analysis consisting of both descriptive and inferential statistics. This consisted mainly to the closed ended questions which consist of both single response and Likert scale sets of questions. The open ended questions were analysed using thematic analysis. After receiving questionnaires from the field, the data was entered and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS Standard version, Release 21.0 IBM Inc. 2012 and data validation and cleaning were carried out. Descriptive results revealed that parents offer assistance to their children with regards to their assignments but do not exercise full supervision with regards to whether their children need private teaching at home there is high level of parental supervision over children works also there is parental supervision with respect to discussion of issues concerning the future of children parents and guardians create time to supervise their children to determine if they have done their assignments before going to bed as well as offer attention to children. Findings reveled that in cases of increase in lack of Parental supervision, there is an increase in social withdrawal amongst children r=0.461, p 0.01 , increase in anger levels amongst children of school going age r=0.263, p 0.01 , decrease in anxiousness in children r= 0.164, p 0.01 , but an increase in self esteem levels in children of school going age r=0.363, p 0.01 , and an increase in depression amongst children r=0.399, p 0.01 , and an overall increase in psychosocial development in r=0.345, p 0.01 of children of school going age in Buea Sub Division. Lack of parental supervisor determines 15.9 variation R2= 0.159 F=66.088 P 0.01 in pupil’s level of depression, 21.2 variation R2= 0.212 F=94.094 P 0.01 in children’s level of social withdrawal, 6.7 variation R2= 0.067 F=26.029 P 0.01 in level of anger amongst children, 2.7 variation R2= 0.027 F=9.613 P 0.01 in pupil’s level of anxiousness, 13.2 variation R2= 0.132 F=53.070 P 0.01 in pupil’s level of self esteem and 11.9 variation R2= 0.119 F=47.184 P 0.01 in overall psychosocial development of children of school going. This confirms the hypothesis results that t=6.869, P 0.01 lack of parental supervision has a significant effect on the psychosocial development of children of school going age in Buea Sub Division.

One issue with standardized testing is that we don't completely grasp what they are measuring. On the surface, they appear to be intended to provide an objective assessment of knowledge, or perhaps even inherent intellect.
The study investigated the relationships between high parental expectations, adolescents' academic performance, and depression in Hong Kong. It found that high parental expectations were positively associated with academic performance but also positively associated with depression. The relationships were partially mediated by adolescents' value of academic success, self-efficacy, and social support from parents and school. The findings suggest parental expectations can have both benefits and costs for adolescents and social support may play a role in the effects of expectations.
This article summarizes a study that examined the associations between perinatal risk factors (such as prenatal substance exposure, prematurity, and low birthweight) and developmental outcomes in approximately 100 infants adopted from foster care. The study found that perinatal risks like low birthweight correlated with poorer cognitive outcomes, while adoption helped improve developmental outcomes over time, especially for children placed before age 1. The results suggest adoption can help buffer the impact of prenatal risks on infant development.

Developmental Assessment and the Child Essay Paper.docxstudywriters
1) The document discusses developmental assessment of school-aged children between 5-12 years old. Assessment techniques differ based on a child's age and should be modified to match their developmental stage.
2) An example is given of assessing an 8-year old, who at this age can typically dress/groom themselves, understand history/time concepts, and achieve certain physical milestones.
3) Applying Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, an assessment of an 8-year-old would examine reading/writing ability, ask about peers and friendships to evaluate self-esteem, and engage the child to achieve cooperation.
Capstone Research Paper. Fall 2015. Huang, Nguyen & ZhangZijian Huang
This study examines the impact of early childhood education programs, particularly Head Start, on children's non-cognitive outcomes using a national longitudinal dataset. The results indicate that children who attended Head Start improved in both internalizing and externalizing behaviors between 3rd and 8th grade compared to children who attended other pre-K programs or had no pre-K. However, Head Start children from low-income families did not fare as well in externalizing behaviors compared to children in other pre-K programs. This highlights the need to improve aspects of Head Start that address externalizing behaviors and enhance program quality for low-income children.
This progress report summarizes the work of the International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research and Education (INSPIRE) in improving pediatric life support (PALS) courses using simulation tools. INSPIRE aims to increase implementation and reduce confounding factors by shifting from PALS courses with mixed experience levels to training homogenous groups without prior experience. INSPIRE has expanded to include two new partners and plans to integrate PALS training into nursing education programs. Key challenges include lack of standardization in PALS courses and difficulties within healthcare systems. INSPIRE seeks help revising its re-elaborated project and expanding its work over the next year.

Research Findings: Interpersonal relationships among staff caregivers, parents, and children have
been recommended as essential aspects of early childhood intervention. This study explored the
associations of these relationships with program outcomes for children and parents in 3 Early Head
Start programs. A total of 71 children (8–35 months, M ¼ 20), their parents, and 33 program
caregivers participated. The results showed that caregiver–child relationships were moderately
positive, secure, and interactive and improved in quality over 6 months, whereas caregiver–parent
relationships were generally positive and temporally stable. Caregiver–child relationships were more
positive for girls, younger children, and those in home-visiting programs. Caregiver–parent relation-
ships were more positive when parents had higher education levels and when staff had more years of
experience, had more positive work environments, or had attained a Child Development Associate
credential or associate’s level of education rather than a 4-year academic degree. Hierarchical linear
modeling analysis suggested that the quality of the caregiver–parent relationship was a stronger
predictor of both child and parent outcomes than was the quality of the caregiver–child relationship.
There were also moderation effects: Stronger associations of caregiver–parent relationships with
observed positive parenting were seen in parents with lower education levels and when program
caregivers had higher levels of education. Practice or Policy: The results support the importance
of caregiver–family relationships in early intervention programs and suggest that staff need to be
prepared to build relationships with children and families in individualized ways. Limitations of this
study and implications for program improvements and future research are discussed.

Parental Stress among Parents of Children with Autistic, Language Impairment ...ijtsrd
This research is a comparative study of stress between parents having normal children, and parents having children with autism, speech and hearing impairment. The study conducted was on parents of children between the age group of 4 to 15 years old and the age group of parent was 25 60. The study was conducted on 30 parents of children with autism and 30 parents of children with speech hearing impairment 30 parents with normal children. The parental stress scale by Judy O Berry and Warron H Jones was used for the study. The responses were scored according to the manual and the data was analyzed employing appropriate statistical methods using SPSS. The results show that parental stress was high on parents of children with autism than parents with normal children and speech hearing impairment children. Parents of children having autism scored highest mean 48.700 which shows autistic child’s parent experience more stress. The results indicate that parent’s age is a differentiator on parental stress among parents with normal children. The age group of parents with 25 35 got higher mean rank 20.11 than the other age groups 36 45 and 46 60 which shows that as the age increases stress levels decreases.

Authors’ Claims
In the introduction, the authors review how children who are prenatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs delays or effect their learning and behavoiral problems by focusing on their abilities to shifting tasks, maintaining attention, and manipulating information based off memory. They believed that if educators have a better understanding of the nature of the disorder, they may be prone to selecting more effective classroom interventions that aligns with the deficits of those students based off the various risk factors related the prenatal exposure to drugs and/or alcohol.

Don't Delay School for Summer-Born or Premature Kids
1. Don't Delay School for Summer-Born or Premature Kids
MONDAY, March 9, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Delaying the start of school for a year for children
with summer birthdays or those born prematurely may lead to worse academic performance later,
new British research suggests.
"Our study shows that delaying school entry has no effect on Year 1 teacher ratings of academic
performance. But it is associated with poorer performance in age-standardized tests of reading,
writing, mathematics and attention as the children get older," the study's corresponding author,
Professor Dieter Wolke, from the Department of Psychology at the University of Warwick, said in a
university news release.
Due to the study's design, the researchers can't say that delaying the start of school was what
caused poorer performance later, only that there was a link between these factors.
The study was published recently in the Journal of Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology.
In conducting the study, the researchers examined data on nearly 1,000 children from the Bavarian
Longitudinal Study in German. Of these children, 472 were born prematurely. The researchers
pointed out that Bavarian policy requires all children to be assessed by a community pediatrician
three to 12 months before they start school to determine their readiness.
2. The researchers compared the ratings the children received from their teacher during their first
year in school as well as their scores on standardized math, reading, writing and attention tests by
the time the children were 8 years old.
"Many parents demand that preterm children should be held back, particularly if they were born in
the summer. This is also supported by many charities supporting parents with preterm children," the
study's co-author, Julia Jaekel, from the Department of Developmental Psychology at Ruhr-University
Bochum in Germany said in the news release.
The hope is that the delay will give these children more time to mature, and that waiting will help
them do better in school.
"However, we found missing one year of learning opportunities was associated with poorer average
performance in standardized tests at 8 years of age for both pre-term and full-term children. Future
research is needed to determine the long-term effect of delayed school entry on academic
achievement, but our results certainly give parents and educational providers food for thought," she
added.
