摘要:

A battery of clinical laboratory evaluations was obtained biannually in hyperactive boys treated continuously with methylphenidate hydrochloride for 1 to 4 years. Blood pressure and heart rate were evaluated annually. Pretreatment baseline studies did not implicate low blood glucose or calcium levels, or anemia, as factors contributing to hyperactivity. Prolonged administration of methylphenidate hydrochloride was not associated with disturbances in the hemopoietic, endocrine, hepatic or cardiovascular functions analyzed.

摘要:

This paper provides a general outline of the principles of behavioral management of the hyperactive child. The use of stimulant medications and special considerations in school are briefly discussed and then suggestions for initial parent counseling, family assessment, and the analysis of specific behavior problems are reviewed.Techniques of behavioral management are presented for the younger hyperactive child (3 to 7 years) and for the older hyperactive child (8 to 13 years). Among management techniques discussed are positive reinforcement, extinction procedures, and punishment through isolation. The problems involved in the use of corporal punishment are outlined as well as specific guidelines for parents as to when and how corporal punishment can be used effectively. A step-by-step summary of how to employ a token economy to manage both home and school behavior problems in older hyperactive children is presented.

摘要:

Many children have learning and conduct problems due to developmental delays that are long lasting and cannot at present be cured. Within the natural history of these disorders a series of critical junctures normally arises. Informed anticipatory guidance by the physician at those times can forestall serious negative secondary effects on the child's personality development and on the family dynamics.

摘要:

A probabilistic model is used to access the fit of a linear hierarchy to left-right identification tasks for children. The resulting scale is simple to score and has a low error rate.

摘要:

Behaviors of 504 middle-class children at 1 year of age and their mothers were assessed with descriptive checklists. Many typical stage-related behaviors led to parental concern or frequent parentchild conflict; 24% of the mothers identified at least one conflict area and 42% expressed concern about at least one aspect of their children's behaviors. Approximately 13% of the mothers thought their children were very or moderately difficult to rear, and about 6% thought their children had behavioral or emotional problems. The mothers reported considerable variation in the number and type of cognitively stimulating activities that they engaged in with their children. The implications of these findings for well-child care are discussed.

摘要:

A school-based health education program was conducted for children with asthma. Fifty-three children with asthma participated in the educational program and 51 children who did not participate during the 1st year served as a “comparison group.” The program was administered to the “comparison group” during the 2nd year to replicate observed changes. The educational program improved knowledge, increased the child's perception of having more control over his/her health and reduced anxiety associated with illness. Results indicate that educational objectives for children with asthma can be met through a structured educational program, conducted in small groups.
