In fall 2021, I interviewed 6 teachers about their experiences with lactation (pumping) in schools following the birth of a child. Participants recounted heartbreaking stories as the neopatriarchal norms of their institutions clashed against the unpredictable nature of the embodied labor of infant feeding. This pain, however, is an incomplete…

Julia Petty; Lisa Whiting; Celia Harding – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Infants born preterm are at high risk of facing difficulties with acquiring speech, language and communication skills. Research on the direct benefits of parent--infant communication in neonatal units is limited. This study recognises that although neonatal nurses regard early communication as important, there is scope to develop a…

Peer collaboration is a complex skill that emerges in early childhood. However, researchers and practitioners lack a shared understanding/definition of what peer collaboration means and how to observe it in early educational settings. This review aimed to examine definitions of peer collaboration and the behaviours observed in research on peer…

Tzlil Einziger; Judith G. Auerbach; Andrea Berger – Infant and Child Development, 2025
Contemporary perspectives suggest that some children are more sensitive to their caregiving environment than others. This prospective longitudinal study examined the role of environmental sensitivity in the developmental pathways of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), focusing on its early identification during the neonatal period.…

Dominique A. Jaeger; Nina Gawehn; Boris Suchan – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Objective: Children born preterm are at an elevated risk of developmental challenges, often exhibiting a distinct "preterm behavioral phenotype" characterized by particular attention difficulties. This review focuses on examining the phenotypical attention profile in preterm children aged 5 to 11 years, considering both clinical and…

Daltrey Schmidt; Chloe Urias; Sarah Dufek; Meagan R. Talbott – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
This study examined the experiences of families of children with developmental concerns in the first year of life, before formal diagnostic evaluations are typically conducted. We aimed to understand the impact of participation in a telehealth-based research evaluation in infancy, identify existing community-based supports perceived favorably by…

The postpartum bonding questionnaire (PBQ) is a maternal-reported 25-item measure of bonding, available in 15 languages, and widely used for clinical and research purposes in the United States (U.S.) and across the globe. Nonetheless, its putative 4-factor structure initially proposed in 2001 has never generalized or been replicated in other…

Hanika, Leslie; Boyer, Wanda – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2019
The authors of this study examined the relationship between motor imitation behaviors and social communication behaviors in 15-18-month-old infants, using a quantitative correlational research design. Imitation behaviors have been shown to be an index of later social cognition and language development, and a critical mechanism in language learning…

The Impact of COVID-19 in Nigeria: Strategic Planning to Mitigate Its Effects on Very Young Children
Download full textAdelakun, Olasumbo; Polka, Walter – Educational Planning, 2021
The authors of this article identify the status of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria and propose the use of a classic strategic planning paradigm to mitigate its spread until it may be completely arrested. Vaccines have been developed to combat the disease which current evidence suggests is spread by respiratory droplets among people who are in…

Sujan, Ayesha C.; Class, Quetzal A.; Rickert, Martin E.; Van Hulle, Carol; D'Onofrio, Brian M. – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Previous research assessing consequences of interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) on child development is mixed. Utilizing a population-based US sample (n = 5339), we first estimate the associations between background characteristics (e.g. sociodemographic and maternal characteristics) and short ([less than or equal to]1 year) and long (>3 years)…

Perrone, Laura; Frost, Allison; Kuzava, Sierra; Nissim, Galia; Vaccaro, Suzanne; Rodriguez, Melanie; Dash, Allison; Bernard, Kristin – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Dysregulation of diurnalcortisol rhythms is often seen among children exposed to early adversity and has been associated with a variety of negative physical and mental health outcomes. The present study examined whether two indicators of deprivation, sociodemographic burden and observed parental insensitivity, were associated with child diurnal…

Maria Antonietta, Impedovo; Guarnieri de Campos Tebet, Gabriela – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This work is a part of 'baby studies' as a specific field of research. The aim of the paper is to explore how the directionality of the lines of wandering inform us about babies' sense-making and which kinds of lines of wandering children enact in day-care. The application of cartographic maps and participative observation are proposed as…

Singh, Leher; Tan, Agnes; Quinn, Paul C. – Developmental Science, 2021
COVID-19 has modified numerous aspects of children's social environments. Many children are now spoken to through a mask. There is little empirical evidence attesting to the effects of masked language input on language processing. In addition, not much is known about the effects of clear masks (i.e., transparent face shields) versus opaque masks…

Kalashnikova, Marina; Pejovic, Jovana; Carreiras, Manuel – Developmental Science, 2021
Bilingualism is a powerful experiential factor, and its effects have been proposed to extend beyond the linguistic domain by boosting the development of executive functioning skills. Crucially, recent findings suggest that this effect can be detected in bilingual infants before their first birthday indicating that it emerges as a result of early…

Tanner, Amy; Dounavi, Katerina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Pre-diagnostic intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) allows symptoms to be addressed as they emerge, often between six to 18 months, rather than after the full onset of the disorder. A systematic literature review, spanning the previous six years was conducted in order to provide an updated review looking at the earliest behavior…
