SummaryThe mothers of 46 children who had been assessed by staff from a child mental health service were Interviewed about the process by which they had come to be referred. The sequence of contacts with agencies was described and children coming via different pathways compared. Contacts with school teaching staff, and general practitioners were commonly part of the pathway, and health visitors were an important group of carers for younger children. When children had had contact with general practitioners and health visitors they were likely to be referred directly to the mental health service, but school staff had mostly sought help from other agencies.

摘要:

SummarySleep problems are a common concern of parents with toddlers. Various reasons have been put forward as to the possible causes and maintenance of sleep disruption. These have included neurophysical differences in the child, perinatal differences such as a long labour and depression and anxiety in the parents themselves resulting in adverse effects on the child's sleep patterns. However, recent research has indicated that a child's temperamental style may be a possible causal factor as to whether the child will present its parents with a sleep problem. This study, therefore, sets out to investigate the importance of temperament as a predictor of whether children may or may not have sleep problems. Environmental factors are controlled as far as possible by selecting toddlers with and without sleep problems from very similar environments. Case studies are also introduced to further illuminate other possible associated factors such as parental handling. The results from this study found significant differences in the temperament profiles of children with and without sleep problems. Children with reported sleep problems were more likely to obtain a‘intermediate high to difficult’profile. Various findings from a group of toddlers with and without sleep problems are discussed in this paper together with implications of the findings and recommendations for further resea

摘要:

SummaryThe author presents two case reports of peripubertal boys with severe and chronic head‐banging parasomnias, or rhythmic movement disorders (RMDs), which started de novo whilst they were suffering from recurrent and severe otitis media in toddierhood. Treatment consisting of straightforward behaviour modification techniques and advice concerning healthy sleeping habits proved highly successful. It is proposed that these late‐onset or‘acquired’forms of RMD might be distinct from those which continue from infancy which have a stronger developmental ae

摘要:

SummaryA study of children's help‐seeking behaviour with respect to bullying and parental arguing is reported. A number of specific hypotheses and open‐ended questions were investigated with boys and girls aged8‐17 years. Female helpers were preferred overall, thought a relationship existed between the child's and helper's gender. Parents, friends, and teachers were all chosen, and parent and peer helpers were seen as complementary rather than competitive sources of help. Reasons for choosing helpers were notably varied, but largely related to perceived qualities of the helper rather than the child's own needs. Children depicted helping as an active response on the part of the helper. These findings, are discussed and implications of practice
