Academic Difficulties

The association between specific school readiness skills and long-term school-related outcomes are still unclear and under debate. It is the first study to systematically review the literature on factors associated with school readiness evaluation about school-age achievement. This review included longitudinal studies with a minimum follow-up of five years; these studies performed the assessments during early childhood. The authors registered the study in the PROSPERO database (CRD42018089694). Five databases were searched (PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, ERIC, and Psyc Articles). Independent reviewers screened a total of 4,278 articles that were retrieved, and 13 were eligible for inclusion. Results showed that early language and math abilities at preschool age, middle to higher socioeconomic status, and socialemotional skills were the most significant variables in the promotion of positive school-age development. Preschool education and socioe motional or behavioral skills may compensate for academic difficulties in later school achievement.

Abstract Objective To the best of our knowledge, there have not been studies to address the issue of long-term follow-up of patients with prenatal diagnosis of isolated complete septum pellucidum agenesis (SPA). The aim of this study was to acquire information about the school-age outcome of such patients as a resource for counseling parents receiving this prenatal finding. Methods From a large fetal magnetic resonance (MR) database, we selected only those cases with isolated complete SPA as confirmed by two senior pediatric neuroradiologists in consensus; we then gathered information from the parents of those children who had reached the school age. Results None among the 12 cases (mean age at follow-up: 8.7 years, range: 6–13 year) of the resulting final cohort presented visual or stature deficits; only one required special teaching assistance in school. All other 11 children resulted without any notable academic issue. Conclusion Our report may provide information of practical value about the school-age outcome of fetuses detected by prenatal MR imaging to carry isolated complete SPA.

In Pregnancy

Although routine Fe supplementation in pregnancy is a common practice, its clinical benefits or risks are uncertain. Children born to mothers in the Fe group in a trial of Fe supplementation in pregnancy have been found to have a significantly higher risk of abnormal behaviour at 4 years of age than those born to mothers in the placebo group. The objective of the present study therefore was to determine whether Fe supplementation in pregnancy influences child behaviour at early school age. The study was a follow-up of children at 6–8 years of age after women (n 430) were randomly allocated to receive a daily Fe supplement (20 mg) or placebo from 20 weeks gestation until delivery. The supplement reduced the incidence of Fe-deficiency anaemia at delivery from 9 % to 1 %. Child behaviour and temperament were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Short Temperament Scale for Children. Of the children, 264 (61 %) participated in the follow-up. Mean behaviour and temperament scores and the proportion of parent-rated and teacher-rated abnormal total difficulties scores did not differ between the Fe and placebo groups. However, the incidence of children with an abnormal teacher-rated peer problems subscale score was higher in the Fe group (eleven of 112 subjects; 8 %) than in the placebo group (three of 113 subjects; 2 %); the relative risk was 3·70 (95 % CI 1·06, 12·91; P = 0·026). We conclude that prenatal Fe supplementation had no consistent effect on child behaviour at early school age in this study population. Further investigation regarding the long-term effects of this common practice is warranted.

Prospective Longitudinal

In a widely cited follow-up study of disadvantaged preschool attendees, Schweinhart, Weikart, and Larner (1986a) found that graduates of an early childhood program using direct instruction (DI) methods exhibited higher rates of juvenile delinquency at age 15 than did graduates of two other preschool education models. The present research examined juvenile delinquency outcomes for young children with disabilities in a prospective longitudinal study that tracked the long-term impact of two preschool models—one using DI, the other using a cognitively oriented, child-directed model. We followed 171 children who had been randomly assigned to the two early childhood models. At age 15, the groups did not differ significantly in their level of reported delinquency. Analyses suggest that gender differences in delinquent behavior may provide a more parsimonious explanation than program effects for the earlier Schweinhart et al. findings.

Outcomes For Children

IntroductionSevere acute malnutrition (SAM) and disability are major global health issues. Although they can cause and influence each other, data on their co-existence are sparse. We aimed to describe the prevalence and patterns of disability among a cohort of children with SAM.MethodsA longitudinal cohort study in Malawi followed SAM survivors up to 7 years postdischarge. Clinical and anthropometric profiles were compared with sibling and community controls. Disability at original admission was identified clinically; at 7-year follow-up a standardised screening tool called ‘the Washington Group Questionnaire’ was used.Results60/938 (6.4%) of admissions to SAM treatment had clinically obvious disability at admission. Post-treatment mortality was high, with only 11/60 (18%) surviving till 7-year follow-up. SAM children with a disability at admission had 6.99 (95% CI 3.49 to 14.02; p<0.001) greater risk of dying compared with children without disability. They were also older, less likely to be HIV positive or have oedema and more severely malnourished. Long-term survivors were more stunted, had less catch-up growth, smaller head circumference, weaker hand grip strength and poorer school achievement than non-disabled survivors.The Washington Group Questionnaire confirmed disability in all who had been identified clinically, and identified many who had not been previously flagged.ConclusionDisability is common among children affected by SAM. Those with disability-associated SAM have greatly increased risk of dying even if they survive the initial episode of malnutrition. Survivors have poorer growth, physical strength and school achievement. To enable all children to survive and thrive post-SAM, it is vital to focus more on those with disabilities. SAM treatment programmes should consider using not just clinical assessment but structured assessments to better identify at-risk individuals as well as understand the population of children for which they are developing services.

Abstract The aim of this study was to verify if the practice of physical activity in the preschool age (3-5 years) is predictive of this behavior after entering the school age (5-7 years).A longitudinal, school-based study with 700 children enrolled in public and private schools of the city of Recife, Pernambuco, who were evaluated in 2010 and followed in 2012. The study variables were the time spent in outdoor games and plays (a measure referred to by the parents / guardians of children through questionnaire applied as an interview) and the level of physical activity (objective measure obtained by the Actigraph accelerometer). The latter measure was extracted from a subsample (n = 98) of children. To analyze data, binary logistic regression was used. Children who spent 60+ minutes per day in this type of activity were 45% more likely of maintaining this behavior after entering the school age (OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.02-2.07, p = 0.04). In addition, children who presented global NAF measure of 300+ counts / minute in 2010 were 173% more likely of maintaining this level of physical activity after entering the school age (OR = 2.73, 95% CI, 98-7.59, p = 0.06). It was verified that the practice of physical activity in the preschool age is a predictor of this behavior after entering the school age. It is suggested the development of campaigns to inform parents and teachers about the importance of early adherence to physical activity recommendations.

The article considers the various approaches in the study of readiness for pedagogical activity in the establishment of preschool education in general and the social and moral education of children before school age in particular. Based on the analysis of scientific research in the structure of the readiness of future educators of pre-school institutions to form in children of 5-7 years of benevolent attitude to their peers, its components are identified and substantiated: personal-motivational, cognitive, activity-oriented. Each component is characterized by a certain criterion and includes a group of qualitative indicators. All the components, criteria and indicators of the readiness of future educators are interrelated, interdependent and necessary for the formation in the children of older preschool age of a benevolent attitude towards their peers.

Community-acquired pneumonia is a polietiologic disease and a significant cause of death worldwide. One of the pathogens of pneumonia is Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which in school-age children occupies the first place in the etiological structure, including the formation of foci of group morbidity. In most cases, mycoplasma infection has a smooth course, but possibly a protracted course with the development of progressive changes in the lungs. The aim of the work is to describe our own observation of the development of pneumofibrotic changes in a child who has undergone mycoplasma pneumonia. The article presents a description of a case of mycoplasma bronchopneumonia in a teenager, with prolonged persistence of febrile fever, catarrhal syndrome, the development of a rash in the structure of mycoplasma infection, a pronounced bilateral inflammatory process in the lungs followed by the formation of post-inflammatory changes in the form of pulmonary fibrosis, which were confirmed only by computed tomography and dynamic monitoring of the patient. Conclusion. The above example showed the need for long-term follow-up of patients with prolonged mycoplasma pneumonia by pulmonologists and the development of targeted rehabilitation.

Characteristic Features

The actualization of the creative imagination is considered as one of the key problems of developing preschool education. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the development of creative imagination, as the basis for designing individual educational routes for children of senior preschool age. The sample consisted of children of the senior preschool age of preschool education organizations of Irkutsk — 45 children. In the study standardized methods were used: V. Sinelnikova, V. Kudryavtseva under the title "How to save the hare", as well as the technique of E. Tunik "Consequences of situations", O.M. Dyachenko "Finish drawing of figures". The results of empirical research have shown the prevalence of medium and low levels of development of creative imagination. Low level of creative imagination was revealed in 40% of children, average in 44% and high in 16%. Characteristic features of the creative imagination of senior preschoolers are: insufficient detail of images, a small productivity of ideas, difficulties in solving problem situations, lack of independence in the implementation of ideas. The article discusses the revealed tendencies in the development of the imagination of modern children, which differ somewhat from the data previously presented in the psychological literature. An effective means of developing the skills of preschool children to overcome problem situations and resolve them, as well as the ability to anticipate the consequences of the situation on the basis of its recreation and imagination is to create conditions for story-role games in groups. According to the research, it turned out that the availability of gaming equipment reaches just over half of the recommended list of gaming equipment in groups. The longevity of the environment, we believe, is also a factor of the scarcity of the development of creative imagination, as the highest mental function in preschool childhood.
