Adult Outcomes

Six types of studies show that father love sometimes explains as much or more of the variation in specific child and adult outcomes as does mother love. Sometimes, however, only father love is statistically associated with specific aspects of offsprings' development and adjustment, after controlling for the influence of mother love. Recognition of these facts was clouded historically by the cultural construction of fatherhood and fathering in America.

Tribal Communities

The present article attempts to analyse the cultural construction of childhood in the context of a few selected tribal communities of Arunachal Pradesh. The study of children is not only important as a subject for chalking out policies and programmes but as a whole, they are a different set of population that could make the society understand the crux of children issues and child development better.

Pia Løvschal Nielsen: Cultural Aspects of Child Development and Socialisation Using ethnographic material from a Hutterite colony in Western Canada, the article shows how adult interpretations of child development and socialisation influence the organisation of children’s daily routines and thus their access to social and cultural knowledge. In this colony, adults are thought to occupy a central position in children’s social and cultural learning processes. At the same time, adults and children are seen as two exclusive categories with separate spheres of action. Daily routines, grounded in this cultural construction, actively exclude children from adult practices, minimising their daily participation in adult spheres of action and allowing few opportunities for direct observation of adult models. The author discusses how children’s cultural and social learning takes place through exclusion from, rather than participation in, adult practices. Hutterite children’s intense involvement in an annual community event indicates that children actively create and participate in their own social field gaining social and cultural knowledge through this process rather than through engagement with adults. The author argues that children’s cultural learning processes are far more active and situational than proposed by theories of development and intemalisation which identify adults as focal to children’s development and intemalization of cultural codes for agency.

Mean Length Of Utterance

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.

Abstract Complex trauma resulting from chronic maltreatment and prenatal alcohol exposure can significantly affect child development and academic outcomes. Children with histories of maltreatment and those with prenatal alcohol exposure exhibit remarkably similar central nervous system impairments. In this article, I will review the effects of each on the brain and discuss clinical implications for these populations of children.
