Personality development. Managing behavior of the cooperative Preschool Child.
Dental clinics of North America, 1995Co-Authors: J R PinkhamAbstract:Because communication is so important to the management of Child behavior by the dentist, it must be remembered that the development of the Child mentally, emotionally, socially, and cognitively is very important. The importance of the dentist's behavior management skills cannot be overemphasized as a determinant to the successful dental experience for the Preschool Child. This article provides an overview of behavior management domains for the Preschool Child, discusses the origin of misbehavior for seemingly "normal" Children, and reviews the parental dimension of contemporary pediatric dentistry, and the dentist's role as an ontological coach.

Preschool Child care participation and obesity at the start of kindergarten
Pediatrics, 2008Co-Authors: Erin J Maher, Louise Carter, Donna B JohnsonAbstract:OBJECTIVE.We examined the association between type of Child care, participation in different types of Child care in the year before kindergarten and the likelihood of obesity at the start of kindergarten. METHODS.Using a nationally representative sample of 15 691 first-time kindergartners from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort, we used logistic regression to estimate the relationship between type of primary Child care arrangement and Children’s likelihood of being obese at the start of kindergarten. Our models controlled for family and Child characteristics associated with obesity and choice of Child care. To examine differential effects of Child care participation for groups at high risk for obesity, we tested interactions between Children’s ethnicity and income with primary type of Child care. RESULTS.At the start of kindergarten, 12% of the Children were obese. Without controlling for other characteristics of Children and families, Children not in Child care were significantly less likely and Children in family, friend, and neighbor care were significantly more likely to be obese than Children in other primary Child care arrangements. White Children were significantly less likely and Latino Children more likely to be obese than Children of other ethnic groups. After controlling for relevant Child and family characteristics, Children in family, friend, and neighbor care and non-Latino Children in Head Start were more likely to be obese than Children not in Child care. For Latino Children, however, participation in some types of nonparental Child care had protective effects on their likelihood of being obese. CONCLUSIONS.Primary type of Child care is associated with Children’s obesity. For Latino Children, who are at a greater risk of being obese, participation in nonparental Child care seems to have a protective effect. These results suggest that Child care settings may be an important site for policy intervention during a crucial developmental period. Efforts to help family, friend, and neighbor caregivers support Children’s physical health may be warranted. Pediatrics 2008;122: 322‐330

A Preschool Child psychiatric service: predictors of post-assessment default.
Child: care health and development, 1992Co-Authors: Rosemary BeerAbstract:Summary A study of post-assessment default from a Preschool Child psychiatric service found that about two-thirds of the sample defaulted (two-thirds of these immediately after assessment) and, as in other services, most referrals were seen three times or less. Default, as predicted, was not related to sociodemographic factors. In addition, in contrast to previous studies, there was no overall relationship to type or severity of Child symptoms nor to maternal mood disorder. However, default was unexpectedly associated with staff inexperience, shorter initial interview duration and type of treatment offered. Possible explanations for these results and further avenues of research are discussed.

A Preschool Child psychiatric service: referral patterns and service uptake.
Child: care health and development, 1991Co-Authors: Rosemary BeerAbstract:Summary A study of referrals to a Preschool Child psychiatric service found that, although the commonest problem behaviours were similar to those found in community surveys of under-five-year-olds, the levels of Child disturbance, maternal mood disorder and atypical family structure were much higher than in the community. It therefore seemed that the service was being used appropriately to seek help for families with multiple, severe and/or persistent problems. A quarter of the sample failed to attend the initial appointment, of whom over a third refused home assessment. There were no clear differences between those attending or failing to attend for assessment, but some suggestion of lower symptom levels in the latter.

Maternal predictors of Preschool Child-eating behaviours, food intake and body mass index: a prospective study
Early Child Development and Care, 2012Co-Authors: Skye Mcphie, Helen Skouteris, Marita P. Mccabe, Lina A. Ricciardelli, Jeannette Milgrom, Louise A. Baur, Matthew Fuller-tyszkiewicz, Daniela Dell'aquilaAbstract:This study extends McPhie et al. (2011)'s [Maternal correlates of Preschool Child eating behaviours and body mass index: A cross-sectional study. International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, Early Online, 1–5.] McPhie et al. (2011)’s cross-sectional research, by prospectively evaluating maternal Child-feeding practices, parenting style and mother–Child interactions as predictors of Child-eating behaviours, food habits and weight. A sample of 117 mothers of Preschoolers (63 girls, 54 boys) participated at two time-points, Time 1 (T1) and Time 2 (T2), 12 months apart. Results from the two path models revealed maternal pressure to eat at T1 positively predicted change in Child enjoyment of food. Maternal warmth at T1 negatively predicted Child unhealthy food habits at T2. At T1, family income and maternal control negatively predicted change in Child body mass index z-scores (BMIz); maternal pressure to eat at T1 also positively predicted change in Child BMIz. There were significant results specific to each mo...

Maternal correlates of Preschool Child eating behaviours and body mass index: a cross‐sectional study
International journal of pediatric obesity : IJPO : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 2011Co-Authors: Skye Mcphie, Helen Skouteris, Marita P. Mccabe, Lina A. Ricciardelli, Jeannette Milgrom, Louise A. Baur, Nazan Aksan, Daniela Dell'aquilaAbstract:To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate maternal Child feeding practices, maternal parenting characteristics and mother-Child interactions as cross-sectional predictors of Child eating and/or weight within the one sample. Maternal pressure for her Child to eat was a significant positive correlate of fussiness and a negative correlate of enjoyment. Maternal parenting warmth was associated negatively with Child BMIz, while mother-Child dysfunctional interaction was associated positively with Child BMIz. Our findings suggest that Childhood obesity research may be better informed by evaluating not just what mothers do (feeding practices) but also how they parent (parenting behaviours and interactions with their Child). Longitudinal studies are needed to identify causal influences of parenting on Preschool Child eating and weight.
