Existing over many centuries, adoption has been challenged in recent years by evidence about practices that do not respond to the principles, ethics and laws under which it should be enacted. Written from a multidisciplinary and international perspective, this article outlines the place of adoption in the child protection system, as well as its core elements of permanence and stability. Recent demographic changes in adoption throughout the world are first examined. The negative consequences of children's exposure to early adversities and the post-adoption developmental trajectory of adopted people are also summarized. The focus of the argument is that adoption provides a legitimate model for the alternative care of children if undertaken within a rights and ethics framework that emphasizes children's best interests, as set out in international conventions and national laws. Implications for adoption policy and practice are presented.

“…Parents were included if they had a child aged between 0 and 7 years. This age group was chosen because we were interested in MTSD use in early childhood (Nores & Barnett, 2010): in this age, the effects of MTSD use on development could be bigger and more longlasting (Schoenmaker et al, 2015) and the influence of parents on their child behavior is relatively greater (Laible et al, 2000) than during later ages. Additionally, based on results of our open-ended survey (see below), we assumed that in children older than 7 years, there would be less variability in experience with MTSD use.…”

Associations between child mobile use and digital parenting style in Hungarian families

Mobile touch screen device (MTSDs) use is becoming widespread in children and has negative and positive consequences. Yet, factors associated with greater use remain unexplored, despite the importance of their identification for intervention purposes. It stands to reason that parents can influence child MTSD use, via their attitudes, beliefs, role-modelling, and style of parenting. Here, we examined the associations between these parental characteristics and child MTSD use and whether parenting styles specifically with regard to child MTSD use exist. Hungarian parents (N = 1283) were surveyed about their children's digital activities, their own attitudes and beliefs regarding the child's MTSD use, and their own attachment to-and use of mobile phones. Taking a data-driven approach, distinct "digital parenting styles" were identified and these resembled general parenting styles. Findings further suggested that children spent more time with MTSD use if their parents: were more permissive, more authoritative and less authoritarian; had a lower educational level; exhibited greater attachment to their mobile phones; and had more positive attitudes towards, and attributed less harm and more benefits to, early device use. These results are the first evidence for existence of digital parenting styles and suggest that parental characteristics are potential prevention and treatment targets.

“…During this period of most rapid brain growth, undernutrition inhibits gene expression regulating brain development, resulting in reduced brain size, DNA content, myelinization, cortical dendritic growth, synaptogenesis, and neurotransmitter content (Nyaradi, Li, Siobhan, Foster, & Oddy, ; Johnson, Riis, & Noble, . Young children suffering from undernutrition have poorer school achievement, diminished cognitive and language ability, and more behavioural problems (Lange, Froimowitz, Bigler, & Lainhart, ; Nelson & Deutschberger, ; Handler, Stoch, & Smythe, ; Ivanovic et al, ; Ivanovic, Perez et al, ; Grantham‐McGregor et al, ; Schoenmaker et al, ; Wright & Emond, ). In Guatemala, S. Africa, Philippines, Jamaica, and Brazil, early cognitive development predicts later school outcomes (reviewed in Grantham‐McGregor et al, ).…”

Developmental delays affect between 150 and 200 million children <5 years of age worldwide. Outside of diet supplement studies, relatively little is known about the relationships between diet quality and developmental status in resource‐poor settings. We examined associations between different aspects of dietary quality (dietary diversity score [DDS] and animal‐source food [ASF] consumption) and child development (assessed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire‐3 [ASQ‐3]) among children whose families were enrolled in a community development intervention trial (implemented by Heifer Nepal) in western Nepal. Two sets of analyses were performed: (a) cross‐sectional Sample (N = 629) seen at the endline survey and (b) longitudinal sample (N = 269) with complete dietary records (six surveys over 48 months). In both samples, child development was significantly related to household wealth, maternal education, and especially home environmental quality. In the cross‐sectional sample, greater consumption of eggs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.80, p = .04) or dairy products (aOR 0.95, p = .05) over the previous 7 days significantly reduced odds of low total ASQ score, by logistic regression analysis. In the longitudinal sample, only egg consumption and cumulative DDS and ASF scores were associated with significantly reduced odds of low total ASQ score (aORs 0.59–0.89). In adjusted linear regression analysis, both cumulative DDS (β [CI]: 1.92 [0.4, 3.5]) and ASF scores (2.46 [0.3, 4.7]) were significantly associated with greater continuous total child development. Programmes targeting child development must address home environmental quality as well as long‐term diet quality.
