The influence of Chinese one-child family status on Developmental Coordination Disorder status

Effects of home and education environments on children's motor performance in China

“…Unfortunately, few studies have explored the relation between the specific conditions in the Chinese preschool environment and the development of children's motor skills. Our previous study provided evidence that showed the preschool environment of one‐child families was associated with motor impairment . The symptoms of poor motor performance include clumsiness and delays in achieving developmental milestones such as walking, crawling, sitting, and zipping trousers.…”

In this study, we conducted a large population-based study in the city of Suzhou, China, where most of the population are of Han ethnicity.…”

“…Chinese parents are also reluctant to give their children small objects to play with, such as playdough, small bricks, or crayons, because they are concerned that they may swallow them by accident. A previous study showed that the prevalence of developmental co‐ordination disorder in Chinese one‐child families was higher than that in multichild families (Hua et al, ). Furthermore, because all the children recruited in this study were from urban areas in China or Hong Kong, they might have fewer opportunities to play outdoors due to the lack of open spaces and parks where they can run and play freely.…”

“…In the international context, although there is evidence about the biological factors (pre, peri and postnatal) associated with the development of DCD (Hua et al, 2014), there are few studies exploring the reciprocal relationship with sociocultural aspects or using Bronfenbrenner's approach to this kind of investigation.…”
