“…Considering the health promoting value of active child participation [6,7], it is important to be aware of the (non)particpatory in¯uence of adult behavior in doctor± parent±child interactions. Only by collaboratively creating a developmental environment, both GP and parent may give children a voice in triadic medical encounters.…”

Adult participants play a pivotal role in doctor±parent±child interactions at the general practitioner's (GP's) surgery. The child's opportunities to participate are rather limited and parental speaking for the child is, in a way, institutionally co-constructed. This study aimed at further characterizing the relationships within this triad by developing a typology of doctor±parent±child interactions, which classi®ed adult behavior in terms of supporting versus non-supporting child participation. The child's participation was described in terms of display of involvement and turning for support. Analyses of 105 videos show that in most consultations, both GP and parent displayed nonsupportive behavior. Despite the GPs' initial efforts to involve the child in the interaction, 90% of the consultations ended up in a nonparticipatory way. During this last segment of diagnosis and treatment information, the child's voice was hardly heard, as re¯ected in the minimal involvement displayed and the absence of turning to the parent for support. It is concluded that the bi-directional perspective chosen in this analysis allowed for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading to the stereotypical picture in both literature and actual practice of triadic medical interactions being dominated by both adult participants. The low degree of child participation should not solely be seen as a consequence of adult behavior, but rather as a co-construction of all three participants. The results are discussed from a pedagogical perspective, and implications for medical practice are formulated. #

“…However, it is increasingly being acknowledged that children can provide information themselves and should be involved in decisions about their own health care [4,5]. In addition, empirical studies have shown the health-promoting value of active child participation [6,7].…”

“…However, young children themselves may benefit from asthma education and practical training in skills. One study found that children aged 2-5 yrs who were exposed to a developmentally appropriate educational intervention that included a picture book and video tape showed improved asthma knowledge, as well as better compliance and health, compared to controls [94].…”

There is poor agreement on definitions of different phenotypes of preschool wheezing disorders. The present Task Force proposes to use the terms episodic (viral) wheeze to describe children who wheeze intermittently and are well between episodes, and multiple-trigger wheeze for children who wheeze both during and outside discrete episodes. Investigations are only needed when in doubt about the diagnosis.Based on the limited evidence available, inhaled short-acting b 2 -agonists by metered-dose inhaler/spacer combination are recommended for symptomatic relief. Educating parents regarding causative factors and treatment is useful. Exposure to tobacco smoke should be avoided; allergen avoidance may be considered when sensitisation has been established. Maintenance treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is recommended for multiple-trigger wheeze; benefits are often small. Montelukast is recommended for the treatment of episodic (viral) wheeze and can be started when symptoms of a viral cold develop.Given the large overlap in phenotypes, and the fact that patients can move from one phenotype to another, inhaled corticosteroids and montelukast may be considered on a trial basis in almost any preschool child with recurrent wheeze, but should be discontinued if there is no clear clinical benefit.Large well-designed randomised controlled trials with clear descriptions of patients are needed to improve the present recommendations on the treatment of these common syndromes.

“…Since combining traditional and new technological methods has been shown to produce the best information retention, developing new educational methods has become an emerging area of study. [69,70]. Specifically, the use of story to enhance communication and boost education methods is supported in the literature [67,[70][71][72][73].…”

“…Holzheimer, Mohay, and Masters' study comparing the effectiveness of books versus videotaped materials found that videos were not as useful as books that allow children to self-pace and better understand the material [70]. Still, the idea of using electronic media for education fueled further research regarding electronic books, also called CD-ROM storybooks, talking books, interactive books, or computer books [74].…”

Childhood asthma is a growing societal problem that causes suffering for children and families. Short of finding a cure, the best way to address this problem is to give children with asthma the resources they need to control their condition. Unfortunately, research and resources for young children with asthma are lacking. The authors hypothesize that an approach using technology based delivery methods to provide age-appropriate education, which promotes self-regulation and includes psychosocial elements, could help children with asthma decrease exacerbations in the short term and establish healthy habits in the long term. To lay the groundwork for the initial investigation of this hypothesis, the authors reviewed the literature for three elements: audience (children with asthma), content (self-regulation and psychosocial elements), and media (mobile technology applications and digital story). Literature was reviewed for children's beliefs about illness and medication, self-regulation versus selfmanagement, the psychosocial elements of parental support and peer influences, technology and education, clinical computer-based education, electronic educational games, and smartphone applications. The gaps in the literature found regarding these topics point to areas where future research would be instructive for designing effective, technology based applications for children with asthma. To produce the most effective asthma education materials for children, all three elements in this literature review-audience, content, and medium-should be investigated in future research studies.
