Child and Adolescent Development

“…Countries with improved and functioning early warning and surveillance programmes are better placed to respond to and address emerging issues. 70…”

“…However, evidence linking infant diarrhoeal episodes to child development has been mixed. 70 In the Ethiopia C-MaMiE study, illness episodes of non-specified type were independently associated with poorer child development after excluding children who were ill on the day of testing (to exclude performance bias). 71 Child HIV infection has been reliably shown to be associated with neurodevelopmental delays in cognitive, motor and language domains, 72 even after adjustment for the level of environmental stimulation, 73 but no studies have examined the potential role of maternal depression in this relationship.…”

“…336-343 The increased level of physical and emotional abuse in HIV/AIDS-affected families is likely driven by increased stress on caregivers, food insecurity and lowered social support due to HIV/AIDS-related stigma. 69 Studies show exceptionally high levels of depression among pregnant HIV-positive women 70 and mothers 71 and data show that AIDS-sick caregivers and those caring for HIV/AIDS-orphaned children have greater difficulty in parenting, but that this is driven by increased poverty and reduced levels of social support. 72 These findings suggest the importance of practitioners, teachers and child-protection services being alert to heightened risk of emotional and 69 Meinck et al, 2016, pp.…”

“…Furthermore, the effect of distal factors on young children generally operates through the proximal influence of parental emotional states and actions. 70 It is within this framework that a great deal of research on the effects of poverty on child development has been framed, 71 including work on risk, vulnerability and resilience. 72 In the same vein, the underlying question examined in several papers from Bt20+ is, what makes it possible for the majority of children to cope seemingly well under generally adverse social and economic conditions?…”

“…Genç bireylerin spora katılımının ve potansiyel gelişimlerine faydaları gerçek yaşamlarındaki psikososyal gelişimleri izlenerek açık bir şekilde tespit edilmektedir. Bronfenbrenner ve Morris biyolojik model ve etkinlik teorisinde; insan gelişimine dair "etkili ve ilgili yaklaşımlar insanların çoğunlukla etkinliklerle uğraş içindeyken diğer insanlarla, nesnelerle ve sembollerle etkileşime girerek bireyler gelişirler" fikrini öne sürmektedir ((Brofenbrenner, 2005;Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 1998).
