Abstract Objectives Achieving sensorimotor (SEM) milestones is one measure of early infant brain development promoted through higher docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels. Both breastmilk and formula contain DHA, with a global level of 0.32% in breastmilk and many formula brands. However, a 2017 study of Midwestern U.S. mothers found significantly lower breastmilk DHA levels. It was thus hypothesized that infants fed formula would have higher SEM scores. The objective of this study was to measure differences in SEM development between infants fed breastmilk, formula, or a combination in participants of the PediaTrac™ Project. PediaTrac is a web-based measure providing longitudinal, real time, multidomain data on infant and toddler growth and development at time periods corresponding to well child visits. Methods Using PediaTrac, data were collected from 548 caregiver-infant dyads across multiple Midwestern sites. Caregivers reported the primary nutrition source as breastfeeding, formula or combination. Their responses to gross and fine motor function questions were used to create a SEM composite, Percent of Maximum Possible (POMP) score at newborn (NB), 2-, 4- and 6-months. Data were analyzed via ANOVA and Tukey test using SPSS. Results Infants fed formula had statistically higher mean SEM scores at NB (M = 0.618Formula, M = 0.590Breast, p = 0.017), 2- (M = 0.706Formula, M = 0.680Breast, p = 0.006) and 6-months (M = 0.727Formula, M = 0.696Breast, p = 0.014) compared to breastfed infants. Mean SEM scores of combination fed infants were higher than breastfed infants at 2- (M = 0.701Combination, M = 0.680Breast, p = 0.184), 4- (M = 0.684Combination, M = 0.673Breast, p = 0.573) and 6-months (M = 0.704Combination, M = 0.696Breast, p = 0.895), despite no significant differences between scores. Conclusions Formula fed infants showed consistently higher SEM scores than breastfed infants in the first 6-months. These findings contradict previous research, indicating a need for further investigation into variables contributing to these discrepancies such as maternal breastmilk DHA concentrations, socioeconomic factors, site specific confounds, accuracy of parent reports of motor development, etc. Funding Sources Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development of the National Institutes of Health.

Hand Performance

Adolescence is a sensitive period in motor development but little is known about how long-term learning dependent processes shape hand function in tasks of different complexity. We mapped two fundamental aspects of hand function: simple repetitive and complex sequential finger movements, as a function of the length of musical instrumental training. We controlled maturational factors such as chronological and biological age of adolescent female participants (11 to 15 years of age, n=114). We demonstrated that experience improves performance as a function of task complexity, the more complex task being more susceptible for experience driven performance changes. Overall, these results suggest that fine motor skills involving cognitive control and relying on long-range functional brain networks are substantially shaped by experience. On the other hand, performance in a simple repetitive task that explains fine motor speed is primarily shaped by white matter development driven by maturational factors.

The first five years of a children’s age is the period of rapid growth with physical and motor development. Those process will develop well if stimulated continuously. Early childhood always identic with high activity requires the opportunity to express their abilities. Therefore playing method is very urgent inchildren’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills development through a variety of playing activities both indoors and outdoors. Playing is an activity that cannot be separated from early childhood’s world. All playing activities will be carried out happily. By the same token learning by playing will be done happily without any sense of being forced or oppressed.

Time Movement

Little is known of how reallocations of time spent in different movement behaviors during preschool might relate to preschoolers’ fundamental movement skills (FMS), a key predictor of later physical activity (PA). Thus, the aim of this study was to examine (a) whether preschoolers’ school-time movement was associated with their FMS and (b) the effects on FMS of reallocating time between PA and sedentary behavior (SB). This was a cross-sectional study, using intervention data with Brazilian low-income preschoolers. We observed Brazilian preschoolers of both sexes ( Mage = 4.5, SD = 0.8 years-old; 101boys) over 10 hours of school-time and objectively assessed their PA and SB with Actigraph wGT3X and their FMS with the Test of Gross Motor Development – Second Edition. We explored the associations between school-time movement behaviors and FMS and between reallocated school-time movement behaviors and FES using compositional analysis in R (version 1.40-1), robCompositions (version 0.92-7), and lmtest (version 0.9-35) packages. This isotemporal reallocation showed that, for manipulative skills, reallocating time (5, 10, and 15 minutes, respectively) from light PA to SB was associated with increasing skill (0.14, 0.28, and 0.42 FMS units), raising questions as to whether fine motor activity occurred during SB. Thus, school-time movement significantly predicted FMS, with a modest increase in SB, at the expense of light PA eliciting improved manipulative skills.

Neuromuscular deficits described in early childhood as motor awkwardness or slow movements are still clinically present in school-aged boys with XXY and XYY sex chromosome aneuploidy. A control group of 14 boys (6 to 19 years of age) and 14 XXY and four XYY boys (6 to 15 years of age), identified by newborn screening, were blindly evaluated by a physical therapist. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) was administered and a clinical rating of neurologic status and sensory-motor integration was assigned. On the motor proficiency test, the XXY boys had significantly lower mean scores for upper limb coordination, speed and dexterity, and on gross motor and battery composites. The neuromuscular status of the aneuploid boys was deficient, with hypotonia, apraxia, primitive reflex retention, and problems with bilateral coordination and visual-perceptual-motor integration. This mild to moderate dysfunctional sensory-motor integration, as well as previously described auditory-processing deficits and dyslexia, contributed to school performance below that expected from their cognitive potential.

Medical Marijuana Use

Marijuana is one of the most widely used recreational substances in the United States, with high rates of use during peak childbearing years. Medical marijuana use is also becoming more widely accepted in the United States, with legalization in 17 states and the District of Columbia. The available literature suggests that maternal marijuana use during breastfeeding is associated with potentially negative outcomes for infants and children. Adverse effects can include feeding difficulty, lethargy, and delayed cognitive and motor development. Mothers considered heavy or chronic users of marijuana are advised to not breastfeed infants. The aim of this article is to examine the prevalence of marijuana use, the potential effects on breastfed infants, and current recommendations from lactation experts.

ABSTRACTThis research is motivated by difficulties in fine motor skills, problems that occur in group A in Kindergarten IP Assalaam Tasikmalaya City, there are still many children who are less in fine motor development especially in motion skills of both hands, fingers and skill to coordinate the speed or dexterity of hands with eye movements. This is suspected because the learning in the classroom is still monotonous and the teacher still has not used the media, especially for the fine motor development. The purpose of this research is improve the fine motor skills of children through Balok Bergambar media in group A age 4-5 year in kindergarten IP Assalaam City Tasikmalaya. Classroom Action Research (PTK) conducted in collaboration with teachers, implemented 3 cycles using the Kemmis and MC Taggart Model. The subjects of the research were children of A kindergarten IP Assalaam Tasikmalaya City group consisting of 18 people, as many as eight male and 10 female and one teacher as a partner teacher. The object of research is the fine motor ability of the child through Balok Bergambar media. Data collection techniques used observation and documentation, while data analysis techniques using descriptive qualitative. Each cycle consisting of four and stages: planning, implementation stage, observation stage, and reflection stage. The results of the research have shown that the use of Balok Bergambar media can improve the fine motor ability of the child. This is evidenced by the increase in the ability of teachers in planning daily learning, the ability of teachers in the process of implementation of learning by using Balok Bergambar media and the ability to fine motor children aged 4-5 years from each cycle. Can be concluded the Balok Bergambar media can improve the fine motor ability of children aged 4-5 years in kindergarten IP Assalaam Tasikmalaya City. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi adanya kesulitan dalam kemampuan motorik halus, permasalahan yang terjadi pada kelompok A di TK IP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya, masih banyak anak yang kurang dalam perkembangan motorik halusnya khususnya dalam keterampilan gerak kedua tangan, keterampilan jari jemari dan keterampilan mengkoordinasikan kecepatan atau kecekatan tangan dengan gerakan mata. Hal ini diduga disebabkan karena pembelajaran di kelas masih monoton dan guru masih belum menggunakan media, khususnya untuk perkembangan motorik halusnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak melalui media balok bergambar pada kelompok A usia 4-5 tahun di TKIP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya. Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilakukan bekerjasama dengan guru, dilaksanakan sebanyak 3 siklus dengan menggunakan model Kemmis dan Mc. Taggart. Subjek penelitian adalah anak kelompok A TKIP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya yang terdiri dari 18 orang yaitu sebanyak  delapan orang laki-laki dan 10 orang perempuan dan  satu orang guru sebagai guru mitra.  Objek penelitian adalah kemampuan motorik halus anak melalui media balok bergambar. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan dokmentasi, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan deskriptif  kualitatif. Setiap siklus terdiri dari empat tahap yaitu perencanaan, tahap pelaksanaan, tahap observasi, dan tahap refleksi. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media balok bergambar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan adanya peningkatan kemampuan guru dalam  merencanakan pembelajaran harian, kemampuan guru dalam proses pelaksanaan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan media balok bergambar dan kemampuan motork halus anak usia 4-5 tahun dari setiap siklusnya. Maka dapat disimpulkan media balok bergambar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak usia 4-5 tahun di TKIP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya.
