ABSTRACT Background: Impaired growth and development of children remains a serious problem globally. The role of the family, especially the support and participation of parents are the important factors in monitoring the growth and development of infants/ toddlers. This study aimed to determine the effect of family support on the growth and development of infants/ toddlers. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Kragilan Village, Mojolaban, Sukoharjo, Central Java in November 2018. The study subjects were total of 115 mothers with children aged 1-60 month. Multistage cluster sampling technique was conducted. Dependent variable was growth and development of children. Independent variable was family support. The data for family support was collected by questionnaire. The data for growth of infants/ toddlers was collected by assessing growth chart (monitoring whether weight gain or loss from previous month), assessing length/height-for-age (normal height or stunted), head circumference measurement (macrocephalic/ microcephalic/ normocephalic), and assessing teething chart (erupts/ loss of teeth in accordance with age or not). The data for development of infants/ toddlers was collected by evaluating the gross motor, fine motor, language, and social skills based on child development pre-screening questionnaire. Results: Good family support increases growth (b= 0.895; p <0.001) and development (b= 0.337; p <0.001) of infants/ toddlers. Conclusion: Good family support increases growth and development of infants/ toddlers. Keywords: family support, growth, development Correspondence: Fitria Hayu Palupi.

IntroductionEarly childhood interventions primarily focus on the mother–child relationship, but grandmothers are often critical in childcare in low-resource settings. Prior research is mixed on how grandmother involvement influences child outcomes and there is a paucity of research on grandmother caregiving in low-income and middle-income countries. We examined the role of grandmother involvement on child growth and development in the first 2 years of life cross sectionally and longitudinally in rural Pakistan.MethodsWe used data from the Bachpan Cohort, a longitudinal birth cohort in rural Pakistan. Maternally reported grandmother involvement in daily instrumental and non-instrumental caregiving was collected at 3 and 12 months. A summed score was created and categorised into non-involved, low and high. Outcomes included 12-month and 24-month child growth, 12-month Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development and 24-month Ages and Stages Questionnaire—Socioemotional. We used multivariable generalised linear models to estimate mean differences (MD) at 12 months (n=727) and 24 months (n=712). Inverse probability weighting was used to account for missingness and sampling.ResultsIn our sample, 68% of children lived with a grandmother, and most grandmothers were involved in caregiving. Greater 3-month grandmother involvement was positively associated with 12-month weight z-scores; however, greater involvement was associated with lower 24-month weight z-scores. High 12-month grandmother involvement was associated with improved 12-month cognitive (MD=0.38, 95% CI −0.01 to 0.76), fine motor skills (MD=0.45, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.83) and 24-month socioemotional development (MD=−17.83, 95% CI −31.47 to –4.19). No meaningful associations were found for length z-scores or language development.ConclusionIn rural Pakistan, grandmothers provide caregiving that influences early child development. Our findings highlight the complex relationship between grandmother involvement and child weight, and suggest that grandmothers may positively promote early child cognitive, fine motor and socioemotional development. Understanding how grandmother involvement affects child outcomes in early life is necessary to inform caregiving interventions.

<p>The important period during the growth of children is the fi rst fi ve years which is the golden period of life. Stimulation has important roles to improve child growth and development, especially cognitive function, psychomotor and affective. The lack of stimulation will result in the loss of function of the brain cells. Stimulations from parents and nutritional status are two factors which influence children’s growth. The purpose of this study was to identify the relation between development stimulation in 1-3 years old children. The research used analitic prospectif cohort in 1-3 year old children in Sedayu Sub-District, Bantul Regency from February until May 2015. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling. The instruments used were questionnaire, and KPSP form. Univariate data analysis technique used frequency distribution, bivariate analysis used Spearman’s rank, There was a signifi cant relation between stimulation and development children in 1-3 years old (p=0,001; CI 95% ;OR=3,37).</p>

Background: Malnutrition in children under five causes a variety of developmental disorders. The nutritional need for children aged 3-5 age is very critical to reach optimum growth and development. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyse the association between nutritional status using WAZ, HAZ, WHZ index with gross motor, fine motor, passive communication, active communication, cognitive, self-help ability and social behavior development childred aged 3-5 years old. Methods: Data was obtained from a study entitled Improving Child Growth and Development through Nutrition and Psychosocial Intervention in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Setting in Rural Areas and was fully funded by the Nestle Foundation (NF), Switzerland. The study design was cross-sectional, with 120 children aged 3-5 years old as subjects. Locations and subjects were selected purposively in Bogor District. Nutritional status was assesed by WAZ, HAZ, and WHZ index. Child development was assessed by using Bina Keluarga Balita questionnaire.Results: Most of the subjects had good nutritional status dan development level. WAZ indicator significantly associated with gross motor dan cognitive development (p<0.05). HAZ indicator significantly associated with gross motor, active communication skills and cognitive development (p<0.05). WHZ indicator significantly associated with fine motor and cognitive children (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nutritional status is associated with child development.

Abstract Objectives Choline has been positively associated with child growth and development, but few studies have been in areas of high stunting and low choline intake. This secondary analysis examines the association of plasma choline with growth/development in Malawian children enrolled in a randomized trial of 1 egg/day versus nonintervention control. Methods Venous blood, anthropometric, and developmental measures were collected at enrollment (at age 6–9 mos) and at endline 6 mos later. Plasma choline, betaine, dimethylglycine, and trimethylamine N-oxide were measured using untargeted metabolomics among 400 children. Length, weight, and head circumference were converted to z-scores using WHO Growth Standards. Developmental measures included fine and gross motor, personal social, and language skills (measured and normed using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool), memory (elicited imitation [endline only] and visual paired comparison tasks), and attention (Infant Orienting with Attention [IOWA] task). Generalized linear models, adjusted for covariates including group assignment, were used to examine the association of plasma choline with growth/developmental outcomes. Results In cross-sectional models including both time points (baseline, endline) and adjusting for repeated measures, a 1 SD-unit increase in plasma choline was negatively associated with length-for-age z-score (–0.11 SD [95% CI: –0.20, –0.02]) and positively associated with IOWA reaction time (8.8 ms [1.7, 16.0]), meaning slower shifts in attention with higher plasma choline. In predictive models, higher baseline plasma choline predicted lower endline fine motor z-scores (–0.13 SD [–0.22, –0.04]). There were no associations of plasma choline with weight-for-age, head-circumference-for-age, weight-for-length, or the other developmental outcomes. Analysis of other biomarkers revealed few significant associations with growth/development. Conclusions Plasma choline was not strongly associated with growth or development in this sample of Malawian children. The few significant associations suggested poorer growth/development with higher plasma choline. Further research in various contexts is needed.

ABSTRACT   Children are the nation's next generation, so the quality of future generations depends on the quality of children's development, especially in infants aged three years (toddlers), because the first three years of life, growth and development of brain cells are still ongoing. It is said to be a golden period because infancy lasts very briefly and cannot be repeated again. It is said to be a critical period because at this time the baby is very sensitive to the environment and requires good nutrition and stimulation for growth. and its development. Between growth and development must run simultaneously. While delayed development is a developmental disorder which is usually caused by risk factors of pre-natal, natal, and post-natal. This study will identify the relationship between the behavior of providing developmental stimulation to improve children's motor development in overcoming delayed development in children aged 12-24 months, by examining using the DDST II Test (Denver Development Screening Test) II. Methods This study uses an analytic observational design with a cross sectional approach, with a multivariate analysis design. The sampling method uses purposive sampling technique with the number of research respondents as many as 60 children in the Yogyakarta PKU Hospital and the independent clinic Child Growth. The results of the nonparametric statistical analysis test with the Likelihood Ratio in gross motor development obtained significance values α = 0.01; whereas in the development of fine motor, a significance value of α = 0.01 is obtained, while in the development of language, a significance value of α = 0.00 The conclusion of this study is the relationship between the behavior of stimulation with the development of gross motor, fine motor, and language. The specific objective is to find out the behavior of development stimulation in overcoming delayed development in children aged 12-24 months   Keyword: development, delayed development, developmental stimulation

Micronutrient deficiencies and enteric infections negatively impact child growth and development. We enrolled children shortly after birth in a randomized, placebo-controlled, 2 × 2 factorial interventional trial in Haydom, Tanzania, to assess nicotinamide and/or antimicrobials (azithromycin and nitazoxanide) effect on length at 18 months of age. Cognitive score at 18 months using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT), which includes gross motor, fine motor, language, and social assessments, was a secondary outcome. Here, we present the MDAT results of 1,032 children. There was no effect of nicotinamide (change in development-for-age Z score [DAZ] −0.08; 95% CI: −0.16, 0) or antimicrobials (change in DAZ 0.04; 95% CI: −0.06, 0.13) on overall MDAT score. The interventions had no effect on cognitive outcomes in subgroups defined by gender, socioeconomic status, birthweight, and birth season or on MDAT subscores. Further analyses are needed to identify targetable risk factors for impaired cognitive development in these settings.

AbstractCongenital Heart Defects (CHDs) are associated with different patterns of malnutrition and growth retardation, which may vary worldwide and need to be evaluated according to local conditions. Although tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the first described CHDs, the etiology outcomes in growth and development of TOF in early age child is still unclear in most cases. This study was designed to investigate the growth retardation status of Chinese pediatric TOF patients under 5 years old. The body height, body weight and body mass index (BMI) of 262 pediatric patients (138 boys and 124 girls) who underwent corrective surgery for TOF between 2014 and 2018 were measured using conventional methods. The average body height, body weight and BMI of the patients were significantly lower than WHO Child Growth Standards, while the most affected was body height. Meanwhile, higher stunting frequency and greater deterioration of both the body height and weight happened in elder age (aged 13–60 months) rather than in infant stage (aged 0–12 months) among these patients. Our results confirmed that intervention should be given at early age to prevent the growth retardation of TOF patients getting severer.
