Video-supported technology is employed by many families to support familial relationships between grandchildren and grandparents. Employing an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic approach, this paper investigates the interactions of one family during a Skype session. The Skype call examined has special significance as the family members (mother and grandson) are calling to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. Detailed examination of video-recorded intergenerational interactions shows how the interactions are managed. Analysis highlights the important role of the mother in managing the progression of the call and her child's interaction with the grandfather. The interactional resources employed by the grandfather to initiate and sustain interaction with his grandson are examined. Also explicated is the interactional competence of a very young child in deploying interactional resources that orient to the affordances of technology. The findings contribute to understandings about how intergenerational interactions occur.

Abstract Basidiobolomycosis is a fungal infection caused mainly by Basidiobolus ranarum, a filamentous fungus of the order Entomophthorales and the family Basidiobolaceae. This infection typically involves the skin and soft tissue; however, visceral organ involvement has also been reported. Here, we report a case of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis in a young child who presented with acute bloody diarrhea which was initially misdiagnosed as intussusception.

The following article on the use of foods from the “family pot” for the rehabilitation of malnourished children supports the conviction of many health workers that, in principle, this is the most practical approach to the prevention of malnutrition among pre-school children, even in impoverished families The small shifts in food distribution within the family that are required with this approach are of negligible significance for the other family members, but of critical importance for the young child. The problem in the past has been the lack of a means of persuading a mother of the need to feed her child more, particularly when she is already breast-feeding. This obstacle can be overcome if the mother can monitor the chid's growth and learn that a failure to gain weight from one weighing time to another means that more food is necessary. If there is evidence of disease, medical attention may also be indicated. Of course, the implementation of this approach is subject to cultural variation in the suitability of foods being used by the other members of the family. For reasons which include high fibre content, strong seasoning, and low nutrient density, some foods will not be appropriate for infants and young children. Also, the phrase “family pot” may well apply to some cultures, but in others there is no single pot, but rather a variety of foods, some of which are always suitable for the young child. If cultural variations are taken into account, the concept advanced by this article should be universally applicable.

This case study follows a 6-year old Caucasian Hispanic male who presented with symptoms of Tourette’s disorder and separation anxiety disorder. Given the young age of the child, a critical focus was placed on parental involvement and parental mastery of the treatment components within an attachment-focused conceptualization as the foundation for all treatment delivery. To address all issues presented by the family of this young child, a behavioral treatment was utilized to target symptoms of Tourette’s disorder, and components of cognitive-behavioral therapy were used to address symptoms associated with separation anxiety disorder (in the young child). Further, components of an attachment-based parenting program, Circle of Security–Parenting, were inserted throughout treatment to keep this young child’s parents in tune with their relationship with their young child. Following completion of treatment, this young child displayed significant decreases in his symptoms across both disorders. Further, this young child and his parents demonstrated a mastery of treatment concepts and coping skills. The family reported both qualitative and quantitative improvements in the young child’s overall emotional and behavioral functioning. This study displayed the effectiveness of an integrative family-based approach in the treatment of a young child with symptoms of both Tourette’s disorder and separation anxiety disorder.

Adoption is a beautiful thing in the world when it comes to giving life to abandon children. But as said often, “The only guarantee if a child is adopted is trauma,” the same adoption is so brutal when the child has been separated from the living family members and given for adoption. There is no worse pain than the pain of the children being separated from their birth family. This research throws light on abscission from the familial cohesion because of the critical situations in the family. Here, in this study, a young child is abscissed from her own family by adoption. The permanent separation from her biological parents creates the feeling of separation and longingness in the novel, And the Mountains Echoed, written by Khaled Hosseini. Pari, is theadopted child, and the protagonist of the novel was in her immature age when she had been separated from her family. The importance of familial relationships is shown very deeply in this novel through the plight of the protagonist, Pari. After the years of separation, the same child who became a mature woman gets reunited with her brother. But the traumatic experience that she had undergone can never be undone.

This research focused on describing communication pattern between mother and her young child in awe-awe doer family.  The study held in Kalibaru Manis village in Banyuwangi regency, Indonesia, with descriptive qualitative methodology.  There’re three mothers participated as informants, all of them are awe-awe doer and likely to bring their children when working on the street. The result shows that there are protective communication pattern in mother-young children relationship, with varied level of controlling behaviour and disciplinary techniques used in the family that depend on the importance of discipline and level of the mother’s confidence to assert discipline to the children. When awe-awe is not the main income of the family, the mother does not put much control on their children about it.  Awe-awe then become unique opportunities for the children to decide for themselves.
