Children are enveloped by a hierarchical, complex, diverse social and physical environment. The proximal environment is the lowest level of the hierarchy, i.e., family settings, nested within a higher order of hierarchy or more distal environment, which all shape how children develop . The pioneer psychologist…

'Mafruha Sultana Mila' 'Md. Iqbal Hossain Nayan'] Early development is a vital phase in childhood life. The study aimed to identify factors that were associated with the early development of 36-59 months children in Bangladesh. The findings of this study will formulate the design of appropriate policy and programmed…

Global emphasis has shifted beyond reducing child survival rates to improving health and developmental trajectories in childhood. Optimum early childhood experience is believed to allow children to benefit fully from educational opportunities resulting in improved human capital. Investment in early childhood…

Research suggests that many disparities in overall health and well-being are rooted in early childhood (1,2). Stressors in early childhood can disrupt neurologic, metabolic, and immunologic systems, leading to poorer developmental outcomes (1). However, consistent, responsive caregiving relationships and supportive…

'Manoj Patil'] In human beings, the development of a child involves biological, emotional, and psychological changes that happen between birth and the conclusion of adolescence. Childhood is divided into three stages: early childhood, middle childhood, and late childhood (preadolescence). Early childhood is typically…

Children's growth is more than height and weight. In this document we introduce and explain the Multidimensional Index of Child Growth (MICG), developed by the International Union for Nutrition Sciences (IUNS) Task Force "Towards a Multidimensional Approach for Child Growth," to operationalize a capability- and…

'Noriko Yamakawa' ''] Background Little is known about how contributing factors of development change during early childhood in Japan. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors that contributed to the developmental attainment of children between 9 and 18 months of age using prospective longitudinal data from…

To assess the prevalence of child development delay and to identify socioeconomic determinants. We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of children 2 to 72 months of age residing in the state of Ceará, Brazil. In total, 3200 households were randomly selected for participation in the study and had child…

Research in typically developing infants has shown robust and consistent brain activation to social versus non-social visual and auditory stimuli in a network of brain regions, including the inferior frontal, anterior temporal and posterior superior temporal cortex. However, large-scale, longitudinal neuroimaging…

'Helen Thompson'] Background: Developmental vulnerabilities within children in Queensland have a variety of domains; these domains measure the development of children in their first five years. It is crucial to understand how these domains are grouped, or clustered, with respect to population risk factor profiles.…

Background Growth and early development (ECD) are vital outcomes for children. This study aimed to examine the association between child growth and overall development in children aged 3 to 5 years in low- and middle-income countries. Methods A secondary analysis of nationally representative data collected in UNICEF’s…

This study initiated the validation process of a translated and adapted version of the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT) for children in the Dominican Republic (DR). Like Malawi before the development of the MDAT, the DR did not have early childhood development (ECD) tools explicitly designed for low-resource…

phenotyping with Bayesian artificial intelligence Authors: ['Rolando Gonzales Martínez' 'Hinke Haisma'] This document proposes an algorithm for a mobile application designed to monitor multidimensional child growth through digital phenotyping. Digital phenotyping offers a unique opportunity to collect and analyze…

Developmental delays in infanthood often persist, turning into life-long difficulties, and coming at great cost for the individual and community. By examining the developing brain and its relation to developmental outcomes we can start to elucidate how the emergence of brain circuits is manifested in variability of…

Early childhood experiences have long-lasting effects on subsequent mental and physical health, education, and employment. Measurement of these effects relies on insensitive behavioral signs, subjective assessments by adult observers, neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies, or remote epidemiologic outcomes.…
