It does not seem possible we are beginning year IV of PREP. Those who have been with us since the beginning will recall that the Pediatrics Review in Education Program, PREP, is designed as a six-year cycle. Each year objectives are developed by panels of pediatricians drawn from practice and teaching for two areas: Recent Advances of importance to the general pediatrician and Topics for Annual Review. Recent Advances cover the entire field of pediatrics, but are limited to information developed in the past six years; Topics are limited to a cluster area with no time limitation. For the 1982/83 Year, the Topics for Annual Review include community health, school health, accidents, poisoning and trauma, athletics and physical fitness, learning disabilities and school adjustment problems, adolescent medicine, delinquency, and drug abuse.

The aim of this study was to provide empirical descriptions of responses to the death of a sibling to the sinking of the Sewol ferry in South Korea. 16 bereaved parents are interviewed regarding their surviving children's grief responses at approximately 2 years after the death. The surviving siblings described by the bereaved parents are 14 in total, including 8 teens in their 10s and 4 young adults in their 20s. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method. The following themes emerged: (a) negative behavioral changes, (b) expressions of grief, (c) change in relationship with parents, (d) school adjustment problems, and (e) social changes. Unique aspects of the grief responses among the surviving siblings in this study are noted. Discussions and implications are provided based on the results.

This informal case study was written as an example of a gifted child whose behaviour and school adjustment problems prevented his teachers and parents from a full understanding of his intellectual capabilities. It illustrates the role of counselling in solutions to such problems.

School adjustment and coping strategies are vital elements of students' lives because they help them adapt and function well to their environment, thereby preventing countless mental health problems. However, despite the robust information about the importance and benefits of adaptability or adjusting well to one's environment, many students still encounter school adjustment problems. Luckily, students often resort to various coping strategies in order to deal with their problems effectively. Hence, the paper determined the degree of school adjustment problems and the extent of coping strategies of senior high school students of a Diocesan Catholic school in Antique during the School Year 2019-2020. Likewise, it determines the correlation between school adjustment problems and students' coping strategies and whether good coping strategies predict school adjustment problems.

The problem of grouping children in the classroom for the purpose of improving teaching has been traditionally approached by making groups homogeneous on the basis of age, intelligence test scores, achievement tests, or personality measures. Using an alternative approach, involving direct assessment of academic productivity and pretraining to work in groups, two studies are presented in this article. Experiment I showed that through the management of reinforcement contingencies a teacher could develop and maintain a high rate of academic productivity in a group of two boys with school adjustment problems. Experiment II, which applied similar techniques to a larger group, showed that high rates of work behavior could be maintained as the she of the group increased, and suggested that the proximity of the teacher may be related to the amount of study behavior generated.
