The extent to which the Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI), could be used to estimate levels of language development in 2-year-old children was examined. Fifty-seven children between 23 and 28 months were given the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD), and at the same time a parent completed the MCDI. In addition the mean length of utterance (MLU) was obtained for each child from a spontaneous speech sample. The MCDI Expressive Language scale was found to be a strong predictor of both the SICD Expressive scale and MLU. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale, presumably a receptive language measure, was moderately correlated with the SICD Receptive scale; however, it was also strongly correlated with the expressive measures. These results demonstrated that the Expressive Language scale of the MCDI was a valid predictor of expressive language for 2-year-old children. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale appeared to assess both receptive and expressive language, thus complicating its interpretation.

Berdasarkan data situasi dan analisis gizi di Indonesia pada tahun 2017, status gizi balita diukur dengan indeks tinggi badan per umur (TB/U). Provinsi dengan persentasebalita pendek dan sangat pendek terbesar adalah Kalimantan Barat (32,5%) dan terendah adalah Sumatera Selatan (14,2%). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tumbuh kembang anak usia 4-6 tahun di desa kuala 2 wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Durian. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 242 orang. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 69 orang anak usia 4-6 tahun, diambil menggunakan random sampling serta menggunakan uji statistik chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukan faktor yang berhubungan dengan pertumbuhan anak berdasarkan indikator TB/U, yaitu riwayat ASI eksklusif (p=0,004) berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) (p=0,003), imunisasi dasar (p=0,000), penyakit infeksi (p=0,000). Sedangkan faktor yang tidak berhubungan dengan pertumbuhan anak berdasarkan indikator TB/U yaitu usia saat hamil (p=0,103). Serta terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pertumbuhan anak berdasarkan indikator TB/U dengan perkembangan anak (p=0,000).Saran kepada Puskesmas Sungai Durian untuk melakukan kegiatan sosialisasi di masyarakat serta membuat program khususnya tentang pentingnya deteksi dini gangguan tumbuh kembang anak, sehingga diharapkan dapat mengatasi gangguan tumbuh kembang anak di wilayah kerja puskesmas.   According to the Indonesian ministry of health, 2017 the nutritional status of children under five as measured by the height per age index, the province with the largest proportion of short and very short children under five is West Kalimantan (32.5% ) and the lowest was South Sumatra (14.2%). The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the growth and development of children aged 4-6 years in Kuala Village 2, the working area of Sungai Durian Health Center. This study was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The population in this study was probably 242 people. The sample in this study may be 69 children aged 4-6 years, taken using random sampling and using chi-square test statistics. The results showed the factors associated with growth based on the indicator of height / age, namely a history of exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.004), low birth weight (LBW) (p=0.003), basic immunization (p=0.000), infectious diseases (p = 0.000). Meanwhile, the factor that was not related to children's growth based on the indicator of height / age was the age at pregnancy (p = 0.103). As well as the significant relationship variable between children's growth based on the indicator of height / age with child development (p=0.000) It is suggested to Sungai Durian Public Health Center to carry out socialization activities in the community and create a program specifically on the importance of early detection of child developmental disorders, so that it is hoped that it can overcome child development disorders in the working area of the puskesmas.

Abstract Background Recent paediatric and family medicine graduates report feeling unprepared to identify and address children and youth with developmental disorders. Developmental history taking and physical examination alone limit engagement with children and youth in an interactive manner to assess development. The paediatric developmental toolkit (PDT) was developed to provide trainees with the opportunity to interact with a child in a play-based manner. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of PDT within clinical settings, and qualitatively explore how the PDT can be used by teachers and trainees. Methods Trainees and their clinical teachers participated in a qualitative study. Trainees used the PDT in clinical settings and were interviewed following their clinical encounters. Interactions between clinical teachers and trainees following the use of the PDT were also recorded. Teachers were interviewed following the trainees’ case presentations and closures of clinic visits. Trainee interviews, teacher and trainee interactions, and teacher interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed thematically. Results Nine trainees (six paediatric residents, two family medicine residents, and one clinical clerk medical student) and four developmental paediatricians participated in the study. Each trainee used the PDT twice in two different clinical encounters. All residents agreed the PDT enabled them to observe a child’s developmental skills in a short period of time. Clinical teachers all felt the toolkit allowed trainees to more holistically consider a child’s development and diagnosis. Conclusions As medical education shifts to a competency-based education curriculum, the PDT is an innovative tool that can be used to enhance paediatric and family medicine residents’ learning of child development by enabling opportunities for interaction with children.

The Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI) was used to describe the developmental status of 59 children before the start of kindergarten. Three years later children were classified in one of four categories, based on the amount of supplemental reading instruction necessary during the three-year period. A number of variables from the MCDI were highly correlated with this continuum of difficulty in mastering reading, with parental report of the child's general development and knowledge of letters and numbers being most significant. Significant correlations with group achievement tests also were obtained. The findings should encourage the inclusion of parent reports by persons using or constructing preschool screening measures.

More than a third of children in the world experience growth and development disorders both physically and mentally, and an estimated 5 to 10% of the child population has developmental delays. Child development problems such as motor delays, language, behavior, autism, hyperactivity, have increased in recent years, the occurrence in the United States ranges from 12-16.6%, Thailand 24%, Argentina 22.5%, and in Indonesia between 13 % -18%. Approximately 16% of children under five years old (toddlers). Indonesia experiences neurological and brain development disorders ranging from mild to severe. The purpose of this study is to increase the motivation of toddlers to carry out routine child development checks, increase the participation of toddlers to carry out child development checks using KPSP, early detection of growth, and developmental disorders. The method used in this community service is varied lectures. The speakers did a demonstration to mothers who have children of 3  - 72 months. Each mother gave information about their child's age and early detection of growth and development using KPSP according to the age child age. Results: Out of 140 children aged 3 - 72 months who were detected developmentally using the Pre Development Screening Questionnaire (KPSP), there were 134 children (95.7%) with normal results and 6 people (4.3%) with doubtful results and none (0%) who experienced deviance. Conclusion:  The 6 children with doubtful screening results, after 2 weeks of screening, obtained 100% normal developmental results. Suggestion: Early detection can find growth disorders and child development, therefore, an intervention can be done as early as possible.
