“…O desempenho comportamental tem sido avaliado por meio de tarefas desenvolvimentais, as quais se referem a padrões socialmente esperados de desempenho dos indivíduos em diferentes áreas da sua vida e durante diferentes períodos do desenvolvimento, padrões esses que variam de acordo com a cultura, sexo, período na história e situação (Masten & Gewirtz, 2006). Assim, é possível identificar a presença de adaptação ou de dificuldade nas trajetórias de desenvolvimento, tendo por referência comportamentos diversos, na dependência do período de desenvolvimento e das tarefas esperadas para tal período.…”

RESUMO -O peso e a idade gestacional são critérios relevantes para avaliação das condições de nascimento das crianças. O objetivo do presente estudo foi caracterizar e comparar o desempenho comportamental de uma coorte de crianças estratificada pelo peso ao nascer e pelo peso ao nascer em relação à idade gestacional. Avaliaram-se, aos 10/11 anos, 677 crianças por meio do Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades. Verificou-se, com significância estatística, os seguintes resultados: o grupo Baixo Peso apresentou mais sintomas emocionais que o grupo Peso Normal; o grupo Muito Baixo Peso mostrou mais hiperatividade em comparação aos outros; o grupo Pequeno para a Idade Gestacional apresentou mais dificuldades no escore total e mais sintomas emocionais em relação aos demais grupos. Concluiu-se que a estratificação por dois critérios permitiu a identificação de dificuldades específicas quanto ao desempenho comportamental.Palavras-chave: peso ao nascer, idade gestacional, comportamento, estudos de coortes Behavior of School Children Stratified by Birth Weight and Gestational AgeABSTRACT -Weight and gestational age are relevant criteria for assessing the conditions of childbirth. The goal of the present study was to characterize and compare the behavior of a cohort of children stratified by two criteria: birth weight and birth weight in relation to the gestational age. At the ages of 10 and 11 years, 677 children were evaluated by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The following statistically significant differences were observed: the low weight group had more emotional symptoms than the normal weight group; the very low weight group had more hyperactivity compared to other groups; and the small in relation to the gestational age group had more difficulties with respect to the total score and emotional symptoms in relation the other groups. It was concluded that the stratification by two criteria allowed the identification of specific difficulties in behavioral performance.

“…Young children are generally more vulnerable than older children to experiences beyond their control and, therefore, cannot self-regulate their behaviors and emotions to the same degree as older children ͑Osofsky, 2004͒. Infants and young children depend on a caregiver-infant system that serves to protect them ͑Bowlby, 1969; Masten & Gewirtz, 2006͒. Infants and toddlers who are able to develop secure attachments that help them develop the capacity to self-regulate are observed to be more positive in their interactions with adults and peers than children who lack secure attachments.…”

The focus of this paper is on the development and evaluation of an intervention model for Florida's Infant and Young Child Mental Health Pilot Program, designed to identify families with children at risk for abuse and neglect, and to provide clinical evaluation and treatment services. The evaluation model, intervention strategies, and results presented in this paper are all part of the Florida pilot project developed as a response to the recommendations of the state's Strategic Plan for Infant Mental Health. Funded by the Florida legislature, the 3-year, multisite pilot was designed to provide earlier identification, better evaluation, and more effective treatment services for high-risk children under the age of three. The target population was children either at risk for out-of-home placement due to abuse and neglect, or those already in the child welfare system or adjudicated dependent by the state. The goals of the pilot project were: 1͒ to reduce the occurrence and re-occurrence of abuse and neglect; 2͒ to enhance the child's developmental functioning; 3͒ to improve the parent-child relationship; 4͒ to increase expeditious permanency placements; 5͒ to develop a model for intervention and treatment that could potentially be replicated in different sites; and 6͒ to document the components of a quality infant mental health intervention model and evaluate its effectiveness.RESUMEN: Este estudio se enfoca en el desarrollo y evaluación de un modelo de intervención para el Programa Piloto de La Florida para la Salud Mental de Infantes y Niños Pequeños, el cual está diseñado para identificar a niños bajo riesgo de abuso y falta de atención, así como a sus familias, y proveerles evaluación clínica y servicios de tratamiento. El modelo de evaluación, las estrategias de intervención y 259los resultados presentados en este estudio son parte del projecto piloto de La Florida, establecido como respuesta a las recomendaciones del Plan Estratégico del Estado para la Salud Mental Infantil. Financiado por la Asamblea Legislativa de La Florida, el programa piloto de tres años que se lleva a cabo en varios lugares fue diseñado para proveer una pronta identificación, una mejor evaluación, así como servicios de tratamiento más efectivos para niños de alto riesgo menores de tres años. La población a la cual se dirige este programa es la de niños que están ya bajo riesgo, o ya colocados en casas que no son sus propios hogares debido al abuso y la falta de atención, o que ya están bajo el sistema de beneficencia social o como dependiente adjudicado por el Estado. Las metas del programa piloto son: 1͒ reducir la posibilidad de que ocurra o vuelva a ocurrir el abuso o la falta de atención; 2͒ expandir el funcionamiento del desarrollo del niño; 3͒ mejorar la relación entre el niño y su͑s͒ progenitor͑es͒; 4͒ aumentar las colocaciones de permanencia expeditas; 5͒ desarrollar un modelo para la intervención y el tratamiento que pueda replicarse potencialmente en diferentes lugares; y 6͒ documentar los componentes de un modelo de...

“…The coordinated involvement of primary caregivers, teachers, and peers is a key feature of the many of the interventions that have shaped this dissertation. These interventions incorporate the values of the ecological perspective as noted by Masten and Gewirtz (2006), and the characteristics of effective interventions as noted in scholarly reviews (Greenberg et aI., 1999;Leffet aI., 2001). Next, the interventions that have shaped the current proposal are reviewed in detail.…”

“…Across both reviews, effective interventions (a) engage multiple intervention agents (e.g., parents and teachers); (b) apply for at least one school year; (c) use multiple components (e.g., training for parents and teachers, direct intervention with the child); and (d) include multiple settings. Additionally, Masten and Gewirtz (2006) remind us of the importance of an ecological perspective when considering the effectiveness of interventions:…”
