Objective: To cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, national health authorities temporarily closed cultural, religious, and educational institutions such as universities and schools. Children and adolescents with ADHD were challenged with the restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic such as homeschooling and reduced physical activity. The present narrative review aimed to summarize the state-of-the-art regarding associations between COVID-19-related social restrictions and possible psychological and behavioral issues in children and adolescents with ADHD. Additionally, we discussed the underlying possible reasons of the association focusing on the role of parental influence and physical activity, vulnerabilities of individuals with ADHD to Covid-19 infection and to school closure and remote learning. Method: To collect data for the present narrative review, recent publications on these topics between February 1st, 2020 and January 10th, 2021 were retrieved from the most popular search engines (PubMed; Scopus; Google Scholar; Psych Info; Embase) through a comprehensive search using relevant keywords. Results: During confinement, children and adolescents with ADHD reported increased behavioral and ADHD-related symptoms and overall decreased psychological well-being. Factors negatively impacting children’s and adolescents’ behavioral symptoms and well-being were: less physical activity, adverse parental behavior, difficulties in coping with preventive guidelines, and school closure and remote learning consequences. Conclusion: Children and adolescents with ADHD and their caregivers faced both specific and general psychological issues related to the school lockdowns and homeschooling. Additionally, Individuals with ADHD seem to be more vulnerable to Covid-19 infection which highlights the need for better healthcare adaptation.

Cautionary Tales

Parents strongly influence children’s health, yet how parents continue to shape the health of midlife adult children remains unknown. Moreover, while most adults are married by midlife, research has failed to identify the effects of parent-in-law relationships on midlife adult well-being. Using interviews with 90 individuals in 45 marriages, we investigate how midlife adults perceive the influence of parents and parents-in-law on adult child health. Findings reveal that particularly mothers and mothers-in-law positively influence child’s health via support during, or in anticipation of, illness and injury. The health experiences of parents and in-laws, particularly fathers/in-law, become cautionary tales preparing adult children for future health issues. Yet parents/in-law also have negative influence on adult children during midlife due to parents’ compounding health needs. We use family systems theory to show how parents/in-laws are intertwined in ways that influence health during children’s midlife that has ramifications into later life.

  Uma das manifestações mais conhecidas da Ginástica Artística é a sua manifestação competitiva. Compreendendo sua iniciação, geralmente, com crianças de pouca idade, o envolvimento e apoio dos pais torna-se um dos requisitos fundamentais no desenvolvimento do potencial esportivo, permanência e, principalmente, no bem-estar psicológico. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo se delimita em verificar de que forma ocorre a influência parental diante da carreira das filhas ginastas. Participaram cinco pais de atletas que competiram no Campeonato Estadual e Brasileiro de Ginástica Artística, categoria infantil, pela Federação de Ginástica do Rio Grande do Sul, na cidade de Porto Alegre, Brasil. Como instrumento de pesquisa foi utilizada uma entrevista semiestruturada e, posteriormente, os dados foram analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2011). Os resultados demonstram que o apoio dos pais no alto rendimento na carreira/vivência esportiva da criança aparece presente em diversas manifestações, como por exemplo através do transporte, aquisição de materiais para os treinos/competições, mudança de estado/cidade, viagens para campeonatos e também no apoio psicológico. Finalizamos este estudo destacando que os pais têm uma relevância importante na vida esportiva das atletas, sendo imprescindível sua participação durante a carreira das mesmas, entretanto é importante diferenciar incentivo de pressão no alto rendimento.  Abstract. One of the best known manifestations of Artistic Gymnastics is its competitive manifestation. Understanding their initiation, generally, with young children, parental involvement and support becomes one of the fundamental requirements in the development of sporting potential, permanence and, mainly, in psychological well-being. Therefore, the objective of this study is limited to verifying how the parental influence occurs before the career of the gymnasts daughters. Five parents of athletes who competed in the State and Brazilian Artistic Gymnastics Championship, child category, participated by the Gymnastics Federation of Rio Grande do Sul, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. As a research instrument, a semi-structured interview was used and, subsequently, the data were analyzed from the content analysis of Bardin (2011). The results demonstrate that the parents support in high performance, the parents' support in the child's sports career/experience appears in several manifestations, such as through transport, purchase of the tools used for training and competitions, change of state/city, travel to championships and also in psychological support. We concluded this study by highlighting that parents have an important relevance in the athletes' sporting life, their participation during their career being essential, however it is important to differentiate pressure incentive in high performance.

BACKGROUND Pokémon GO illuminated the potential for mobile gaming apps to engage users and promote health. However, much work is needed to fully understand mechanisms through which digitally supported behavior change intervention operate, particularly for children and families. OBJECTIVE The goal of the current study was to explore the user-experience and changes in physical activity since playing Pokémon GO from a family perspective and within the greater context of family health. Specifically, factors related to engagement, user trends over time, and health were examined from the perspective of parents, adult caregivers, and children/teen Pokémon GO players. METHODS In January-February 2017, congruent with one of the largest anticipated Pokémon GO updates “Gen 2,” a retrospective pre-post design was used to investigate changes in physical activity in parents and adult caregivers since playing Pokémon GO. Additional descriptive data was collected via a survey that incorporated both closed and open-ended questions from parents and adult caregivers who were impacted by a child/teen that played Pokémon GO. Children/teens who played Pokémon GO were also invited to participate. RESULTS Self-reported data from 160 adults and 31 children were included in the final analyses (representing 129 adults and 31 parent-child dyads). Gameplay most often occurred between mothers and sons ≤10 years old. “Spending time together” was the most cited reason for gameplay by both adults (76.3%) and children (77.4%), followed by “it helped me go outdoors” (70.1%) for adults and “I am a Pokémon fan” (67.7%) by children. Playing Pokémon GO also helped to satisfy the top three identified family goals: having fun, spending more time/quality time with child, and exercising more. Unique to this population, open-ended responses indicated child gameplay could trigger both positive and negative emotional parent response. Boredom was the most cited reason for app disengagement, while in-app events most contributed to reengagement. For adults, there were significant increases in minutes spent in mild (M=23.36, SD = 66.02; t(97)=3.50, P=.001) and moderate (M=21.76, SD 53.04; t(130)=4.70, P=.000) physical activity per week after playing Pokémon GO. However, dyadic data indicated that child perceptions of parental influence on physical activity most significantly associated with parents who reported weekly strenuous physical activity both before (rs =.514, P=.003) and after (rs =.536, P=.003) Pokémon GO uptake. CONCLUSIONS Pokémon GO transcended traditional understanding of digital health and uniquely reached across generations to engage users. Findings from this study highlight that, for a period of time, Pokémon GO fostered social and physical well-being for children and families through a multifaceted approach.

Abstract.FAMILY CONTEXT AND INVOLVEMENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING ADOLESCENCEAmong the contextual factors that mediate in youth’s well-being and personal adjustment, parental influence is one of the most studied. In this research we focus on the effects that parental support has in youth’s engagement in physical and sport activities, which improves adolescents’ well-being and personal adjustment. Participants were 169 adolescents between 11 – 19 years old (M = 14.22; SD = 1.52) and their families. Results show that parental support (both from parents and mothers) has a stronger effect in daughters. On the other hand, mothers’ support reveals a stronger effect both in sons and daughters engagement.Key words: family support, physical and sport activities, parental support, adolescents’ engagementResumen.Entre las variables contextuales que median sobre el ajuste y bienestar juvenil, la influencia parental es una de las más estudiadas. Este trabajo investiga el apoyo parental sobre la implicación en actividades físico-deportivas (AFD) de los hijos/as, clave para potenciar su bienestar y ajuste personal. Participan 169 familias con hijos de entre 11 – 19 años (M = 14.22; DT = 1.52). Los resultados muestran que el apoyo tanto de padres como de madres incide en mayor manera sobre las hijas. Se observa también que la influencia materna tiene un mayor efecto que la paterna tanto sobre la implicación de los hijos como de las hijas.Palabras clave: apoyo familiar, actividad físico-deportiva, influencia parental, implicación adolescente

The Relationship

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Negative Impacts

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.

Current research on feeding outcomes after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) suggests a need to critically look at the early underpinnings of persistent feeding problems in extremely preterm infants. Concepts of dynamic systems theory and sensitive care-giving are used to describe the specialized needs of this fragile population related to the emergence of safe and successful feeding and swallowing. Focusing on the infant as a co-regulatory partner and embracing a framework of an infant-driven, versus volume-driven, feeding approach are highlighted as best supporting the preterm infant's developmental strivings and long-term well-being.
