The COVID-19 pandemic affected people across the life span, including children and adolescents. This study focuses on exploring the lived experiences of children and adolescents in the United States during the pandemic. We interviewed 12 children and adolescents in April 2020 and identified four themes: (a) change in school environment, (b) connection, (c) creative celebrations, and (d) hope. We discuss limitations, recommendations for future research, and implications for counseling.

Eye Examination

The art of taking a patient's case history is essential for a solid understanding of pertinent details before proceeding with an examination. While establishing rapport with the patient, the clinician should ask questions about birth history, developmental history, educational and social history. Active listening skills and flexibility of the provider are useful tools for an effective start to the examination. This chapter reviews categories of questions needed for optimization of case history for the pediatric patient. This includes questions focused on specific age categories, including infants and toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-aged children, and adolescents. The chapter author provides clinical pearls for a more efficient and effective exam, including a section on assisting children with special needs.

General Functioning

Children and adolescents with an intellectual disability (ID) and autistic traits often attend special needs schools where they are surrounded by peers with diverse characteristics. Given the role that peers can play in social development, we examined whether autistic traits development in students with ID and high levels of such characteristics are influenced by the level of autistic traits among the schoolmates they like most. Furthermore, we investigated the degree to which this peer influence susceptibility depends on students’ gender. A longitudinal design, with data collection points at the beginning and the end of a school year, was used. Staff reported on 330 students with high levels of autistic traits (20.6% girls; age 10.17 years, SD = 3.74) who attended 142 classrooms in 16 Swiss special needs schools. Results showed that students’ future individual level of autistic traits (T2) was not predicted by the autistic traits level of preferred peers (T1), controlling for individual autistic traits at T1, level of general functioning, gender, and age. However, the peer effect was significantly moderated by students’ gender, indicating that girls but not boys were susceptible to peer influence. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for understanding autistic traits development and directions of support for children and adolescents in their peer context.

IntroductionFairness is a fundamental factor for prosocial behaviors and have a crucial role in social interaction. Examining fairness during maturation can shed light on different questions and hypothesis about the development of prosociality across life span.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the development of strategic planning in children and adolescents.MethodsA total of 288 healthy students between ages 7 and 18 from four community schools participated in a one-shut run game which the participants were proposed and should set a package of offers concluded six suggestions.ResultsAmong 288 students, 128 (44.44%) participants were male and 160 (55.56%) participants were female. In first offer, 29.7% of boys suggested an unfair offer but girls with 23% were more generous. However, in last suggestion in comparison with girls (73% unfair), boys showed more generosity (64% unfair). Notably, girls in average, spent 135.78 seconds (SD = 86) to set their offers while boys needed less time to prepare their suggestions (117.16s, SD = 119.7)ConclusionAccording to the findings it seems that both genders start more generous offers and end up with less generous offers. In comparison with boys, girls need more time in economic decision-making and interestingly more fair options at the start of game.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
