Mothers’ understanding of growth charts is an essential component of growth-monitoring programmes. This study investigated mothers’ interpretation of growth charts as they attended child welfare clinics in the greater Accra region of Ghana. Eight hundred seventy-five mothers were interviewed using questionnaires and sample growth charts. Factors impeding attendance at the clinics included business, forgetting, travel, and lack of knowledge. Nearly 40% of the mothers had no idea of the meaning or purpose of growth charts. Efforts to enhance the awareness of mothers and children's caretakers must be intensified.

Objetivo: descrever os registros de crescimento e desenvolvimento realizados pelos enfermeiros na consulta de enfermagem de crianças menores de dois anos em unidades de saúde da família (USF). Métodos: Estudo documental com abordagem quantitativa que analisou prontuários e cadernetas de saúde da criança (CSC) que tiveram consulta de enfermagem no período de janeiro a fevereiro de 2012 em quatro USF de Cuiabá-MT. Resultados: Dos 22 prontuários analisados, 100% tinham anotações de peso e estatura, 59,1% dos registros de desenvolvimento estavam incompletos e não se observou a presença de gráfico de crescimento e desenvolvimento (CD) nos prontuários. Todas as CSC tinham registros nos gráficos de peso e estatura e em 86,4% delas havia anotações dos marcos de desenvolvimento. Conclusão: A ausência de registros adequados de CD inviabiliza a identificação de situações de risco e o planejamento de ações para assistência à criança e sua continuidade.

Full textAbstract:
The growth and development of children are closely related to the role of a mother, not a few mothers, and having the task of caring for children and working women, which will lead to suboptimal childcare. At this time, many android-based information system facilities that can be used to streamline child care for a mother who is a working woman. This study aimed to provide an overview and ideas of using android-based digital media in childcare to maximize children's growth and development for working mothers with a literature review method. From the study results and review of 10 selected journals, it was concluded that for parents of workers who cannot maximize childcare time or parenting time, many applications could facilitate parents to monitor the child's growth and development safely. The development of a child health nursing management information system can include healthy children, sick children, education, environment, and parenting patterns. The implication of developing a child health nursing management information system during parenting is very useful ad preventive and promotive action in children’s health. Child nurses can effectively, efficiently, quickly, and accurately identify problems that arise in the preventive process so that they are expected to make nursing interventions that are also right on target.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Maternal and child health (MCH) clinics represent an integrated approach for providing healthcare to pregnant women and children 0-59 months of age. Although MCH clinics are also charged with monitoring child development, which involves tracking developmental milestones, it is unclear how these services are provided or perceived within the clinic. This study aimed to describe self-reported knowledge, perceptions, and practice of developmental monitoring in selected MCH clinics in western Kenya. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted within six clinics. We administered a descriptive survey to measure caregiver and healthcare staff attitudes towards and awareness of developmental monitoring; we also reviewed MCH booklets to identify services received at the clinic. Data collection occurred over a period of one day at each of the six clinic sites. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: During the study period, 78 caregiver-child pairs presented to the clinics and had their MCH booklets reviewed. The median child age was three months (interquartile range [IQR]: 1-8 months). Most caregivers were aware of weight monitoring and immunization services; however, when asked specifically about developmental monitoring, only 2.6% of caregivers were aware this service was available at the clinics. Nearly 80% of caregivers reported that they would be very interested in developmental monitoring services. Thirty-three MCH healthcare staff were interviewed about services provided and goals of clinical care. Fewer healthcare staff (60.6%) identified their roles in developmental monitoring compared to their roles in growth (90.9%) and nutritional monitoring (84.8%). Developmental milestones had not been recorded in any of the 78 MCH booklets. However, 78.1% of healthcare staff indicated support for developmental screening. Conclusion and Global Health Implications: While developmental monitoring was valued by healthcare providers, it was not consistently performed at the six clinics in our study. We recommend further work to raise awareness about developmental monitoring and to measure the implications of increased caregiver knowledge and perceptions on developmental monitoring practice.

AbstractDecades of research have highlighted the significance of parenting in children's development, yet few studies have focused specifically on the development of parental monitoring strategies in diverse families living in at-risk neighborhoods. The current study investigated the development of active (i.e., parental discussions and curfew rules) and passive (i.e., child communication with parents) parental monitoring strategies across different developmental periods (middle childhood and adolescence; Grades 4–5 and 7–11) as well as individual (child, parent), family, and contextual antecedents (measured in kindergarten) of this parenting behavior. Using an ecological approach, this study evaluated longitudinal data from 753 participants in the Fast Track Project, a multisite study directed at the development and prevention of conduct problems in at-risk children. Latent trajectory modeling results identified little to no mean growth in these monitoring strategies over time, suggesting that families living in at-risk environments may engage in consistent levels of monitoring strategies to ensure children's safety and well-being. Findings also identified several kindergarten antecedents of the growth factors of these parental monitoring strategies including (a) early child conduct problems; (b) parental warmth/involvement, satisfaction, and efficacy; and (c) parent–child relationship quality. These predictive effects largely highlighted the important role of early parenting behaviors on later levels of and growth in parental monitoring strategies. These findings have important implications for potential prevention and intervention targets to promote the development of parental monitoring strategies among families living in more at-risk contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring the development of early childhood is a family task, but not all families can carry out this task optimally. Busyness, lack of knowledge, and the socio-economic condition of the family are factors that do not support this effort. Therefore, monitoring children's growth is coordinated through the role of the community through the Posyandu program. Posyandu, as one of the community-based health efforts, has a vital role in providing convenience to the community in obtaining essential services. To achieve this goal requires the role of a Posyandu cadre who has the knowledge and skills in monitoring child growth and development. The method of activity is carried out by providing material for child development and practicum on how to assess and measure children's growth and development. The results of activities were measured through differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test, as well as the results of observations when cadres provided services during Posyandu implementation. The results of the activity showed that the training in monitoring the growth and development of children under five given to Posyandu cadres could increase the knowledge and skills of cadres in providing services at Posyandu related to monitoring the growth and development of children under five.

Full textAbstract:
During the last decade, growth monitoring has been promoted us an important intervention for child survival, but questions have been raised about its electiveness and feasibility in less-developed countries. A growth-monitoring programme was carried out by the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee for over four years, covering about 20,000 children under two years of age. The programme was equally accessible to all socioeconomic groups and both sexes. Children were weighed monthly in village centres, and their mothers were given health and nutrition education. A recent evaluation found modest coverage (43 %) of the target children. Accuracy in determining ages of the target children was reasonably good, with more than 90% within 30 days of actual age. Eighty-seven per cent of the Salter round scales used gave accurate results, compared with only 17% of the Salter cylinder scales. Local volunteers, mostly women, participated in growth-monitoring sessions by weighing, recording, and demonstrating how to prepare supplementary diets. Growth monitoring was associated with increased use of selected child-survival interventions such as immunization. The nutrition status of participating children was not significantly better than that of a comparable group of children who did not participate (p =.051).

Full textAbstract:
The need for stimulation or efforts to stimulate children to introduce new knowledge or skills is very important in improving children's intelligence. Stimulation in children can be started since the baby is a fetus, because the fetus is not a passive creature. In the womb, the fetus is able to breathe, kick, stretch, move, swallow, suck the thumb, and others. While the main stimulation is given specifically for children aged 0-7 years (Siswono, 2004). PAUD teacher's understanding and awareness of the importance and influence of parental education on child development vary. Many do not understand the characteristics of early childhood development, stimulation, and implementation of early detection of early childhood growth and development. Asih Waluyo Jati Clinic is a Pratama clinic that has a program about child development. With community service at the Asih Waluyo Jati Primary Clinic, it is expected that the knowledge and understanding of PAUD teachers on the characteristics of growth and development, simulation, and implementation of early detection of early childhood growth and development can be increased. The activity was carried out at the Pratama Asih Waluyo Jati Clinic on Sunday, October 8, 2017, at 09.00 to 15.00 with material about problems of child growth and development in Indonesia, the importance of monitoring children's growth and development, the participation of teachers and parents in child development, how to detect children's growth and how to detect a child's development. The methods used in this activity include lectures, questions and answers, and role-play. Most of the participants understood what early detection and stimulation of children's growth and development were. But about the types and ways of early detection that must be done many do not understand. The participant's lack of understanding about the types and methods of early detection of children when training has not been conducted is likely because since they have never attended training and there has been no socialization from the education office related to monitoring child development. After being given the material, the participants understood that the types of early detection were detection of growth, development, and mental-emotional. Stimulation is very important as a form of intervention so that the child's growth and development can take place optimally.Keywords: early childhood, stimulation, early detection, growth, development

This study reported the staging of process on developing a mobile application for real-time data management information system on monitoring and feedback in early childhood education, it can help tracking child care and education and assist teacher in monitoring and feedback on child services. A study was carried out to gather necessary information through data mapping, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, document reviews, application development, direct entry in the field using mobile development, application testing and analysis that was conducted on for 253 respondents. To obtain a full picture on early childhood education, data on child growth and education shall be mapped and linked in one application. We introduce a mobile app to systematically compile the individual as well as group data across different aspects of child life, ranging from child education. Using a tablet PC or mobile phone, data could be easily entered at any time by the person. Due to still poor infrastructure at the grass root level, the system also allows a safety store offline that could automatically link to server when network connection is available. The immediate data entry will provide real-time data report that could be accessed by any relevant stakeholders at any levels to response accordingly. However, to avoid misuse of data, the access will also be restricted with a secured login system. Based on the study, this application is easily applicable for real-time monitoring and evaluation on early child education.

There is increased interest in child nutrition globally which has resulted in high-level commitments to address child malnutrition. However, monitoring these commitments are hindered by non-existent or weak paper-based child nutrition surveillance systems. We describe the development and application of a mobile-based data collection system in near real-time for children aged 0–5 years attending government growth monitoring sessions in selected primary care centres in the Republic of Mauritius. The mobile-based data collection form was designed using KoBoToolbox and was used in the growth monitoring programme across two districts in the north of the country. We observed nine primary care centres over a period of 18 days and collected routine data on weight from 576 children. A short questionnaire and interviews were conducted with a member of healthcare staff involved in the growth monitoring programme to measure the usability and explore the perceptions of an electronic data collection form. Prevalence estimates of child underweight and overweight were also calculated. Eight out of 10 (80%) participants obtained a System Usability Scale score >80. Healthcare staff believed that the mobile-based form had the potential to reduce their workload and reduce data transmission time. An important deployment-related issue was the need for adequate training in the use of a mobile device to collect nutrition surveillance data. Overall, 5.5% (95% CI 3.9% to 7.7%) of children were underweight and 4.4% (95% CI 3.0% to 6.5%) were overweight. Through the development and implementation of this mobile-based data collection system, we have shown the value and potential usability for mobile technologies to strengthen the child nutrition surveillance system in the Republic of Mauritius.

Full textAbstract:
Posyandu (integrated health center) as a health information center for the community is expected to be the spearhead of early detection of developmental disorders in children under five. Posyandu activities are driven by cadres. Cadres monitor the growth of children under five through anthropometric measurements: body weight, height, head circumference and development milestones. Knowing how to measure anthropometric parameters, data plotting on a growth chart in the Maternal and Child Health (Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak=KIA) book, and interpret the results are very important. Cadres with good understanding and skills will greatly assist in monitoring child growth and development. This activity is expected to increase the knowledge and skills of cadres in monitoring child development. This activity was carried out through counseling, training, case study, and discussion. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted to evaluate this activity. The mean pre-test was 40.00 ± 11.69, with the lowest value being 10.00 and the highest value being 60.00. The mean post-test was 54.10 ± 12.08, the lowest value was 30.00 and the highest was 90.00. The Wilcoxon test found p=000, where 20.5% participants' knowledge did not change while 69.23% had better knowledge compared to before the activity. Conclusion: This training can significantly improve cadres' knowledge and skills about the use of the KIA book.

Full textAbstract:
The burden of childhood stunting in Tanzania is persistently high, even in high food-producing regions. This calls for a paradigm shift in Child Growth Monitoring (CGM) to a multi-dimensional approach that also includes the contextual information of an individual child and her/his caregivers. To contribute to the further development of CGM to reflect local contexts, we engaged the Capability Framework for Child Growth (CFCG) to identify maternal capabilities for ensuring healthy child growth. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in Southeastern Tanzania using in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, participant observation, and focus group discussions with caregivers for under-fives. Three maternal capabilities for healthy child growth emerged: (1) being able to feed children, (2) being able to control and make decisions on farm products and income, and (3) being able to ensure access to medical care. Mothers’ capability to feed children was challenged by being overburdened by farm and domestic work, and gendered patterns in childcare. Patriarchal cultural norms restricted women’s control of farm products and decision-making on household purchases. The CFCG could give direction to the paradigm shift needed for child growth monitoring, as it goes beyond biometric measures, and considers mothers’ real opportunities for achieving healthy child growth.

Full textAbstract:
In rural areas, a lack of infrastructure often limits the promotion and implementation of community-based nutrition activities. Growth monitoring can potentially provide a platform for the promotion and implementation of community-based nutrition activities, provided that the growth-monitoring program has a high coverage. The aim of this study was to determine the acceptability of a community-based growth-monitoring project in terms of child attendance and maternal attitude. The study was done in a mountainous rural village that lacks health facilities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Attendance registers from 1996 to 2000 were used to determine the attendance ratio, coverage, adequacy of growth monitoring, and frequency distribution of the age of participating children. In 2001, focus group discussions were used for the qualitative assessment of maternal attitudes. The community-based growth-monitoring project had an estimated coverage of 90%, at least 60% of these children were covered adequately, and attendance was equally distributed over one-year-interval age categories for children aged five years and younger. Community-based growth monitoring can therefore provide a suitable platform for the promotion and implementation of community-based nutrition activities.

Abstract Objectives Studies in Ecuador and Malawi have demonstrated mixed effects of interventions involving daily complementary feeding of eggs on child growth. For example, in Malawi, the egg intervention had no overall effect on child development. There is a need to test the effects of egg interventions on child growth and development in other settings with high prevalence of stunting and in the context of other nutritional interventions. The Saqmolo’ (i.e.,“egg” in the Mayan language, Kaqchiquel) study aims to evaluate the impact of adding 1 egg per day to local standard nutrition care (LSNC) on child development, in rural Maya infants from Guatemala. Methods In a community-based, individually randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial among rural indigenous Maya children (n = 1200), starting at 6–9 months at baseline, we will compare the impact of adding one egg per day to LSNC with LSNC alone. LSNC includes: growth monitoring, medical care, deworming medication, multiple micronutrient powders for point of use food fortification, and individualized complementary and responsive feeding education for caregivers. Intervention and control groups will be visited once per month during 6-months and adherence will be monitored during the visits and through phone calls for the first 2 months in both groups at the same frequency. The primary outcome is differences in child global development (measured by Caregiver Reported Child Development Instruments –CREDI-and the Guide for Monitoring Child Development GMCD); secondary outcomes include: growth (z-scores for weight for age, length for age, weight for length, and head circumference for age), and diet quality (using the World Health Organization's infant and young child feeding indicators). Results N/A (submitting study protocol abstract). Conclusions This study will provide new evidence on the potential effect of increased egg accessibility in high prevalence stunting areas along with integrated nutrition care on child development. The results may help to inform public health decision-making regarding resource allocation for effective nutrition interventions during the complementary feeding period in Guatemala. Funding Sources This work was supported by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation via an investigator-initiated research grant from the Egg Nutrition Center.

Optimal therapy of growth disorders depends on accurate diagnosis and clear goals for therapy. Understanding normal patterns of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor secretion are necessary to appreciate the different hormone pattern induced by therapy. Finally, monitoring efficacy and safety, identifying interfering factors, and adjusting doses, are all part of optimizing GH therapy in childhood GH deficiency (GHD). Prevention of development of GHD would avoid the need for therapy. Options for optimizing GH therapy in childhood GHD include initiating treatment as young as possible, facilitating adherence to therapy plan, and adjusting GH dose on an individual basis to achieve ‘target’ results. In addition, there can be consideration of regulating timing of puberty, use of higher GH doses, and improving the process of transition from pediatric to adult care. Future prospects include improved depot GH preparations or alternative delivery systems. Development of depot GH-releasing hormone/peptide therapy could allow a more physiologic pattern of GH secretion. GH therapy should be targeted to yield the best growth response, best safety profile, and the best psychosocial adjustment.

AbstractObjective:To compare the impact on child diet and growth of a multisectoral community intervention v. nutrition education and livestock management training alone.Design:Longitudinal community-based randomized trial involving three groups of villages assigned to receive: (i) Full Package community development activities, delivered via women’s groups; (ii) livestock training and nutrition education alone (Partial Package); or (iii) no intervention (Control). Household surveys, child growth monitoring, child and household diet quality measures (diet diversity (DD), animal-source food (ASF) consumption) were collected at five visits over 36 months. Mixed-effect linear regression and Poisson models used survey round, treatment group and group-by-round interaction to predict outcomes of interest, adjusted for household- and child-specific characteristics.Setting:Banke, Nepal.Participants:Households (n 974) with children aged 1–60 months (n 1333).Results:Children in Full Package households had better endline anthropometry (weight-for-age, weight-for-height, mid-upper-arm-circumference Z-scores), DD, and more consumption of ASF, after adjusting for household- and child-specific characteristics. By endline, compared with Partial Package or Control groups, Full Package households demonstrated preferential child feeding practices and had significantly more improvement in household wealth and hygiene habits.Conclusions:In this longitudinal study, a comprehensive multisectoral intervention was more successful in improving key growth indicators as well as diet quality in young children. Provision of training in livestock management and nutrition education alone had limited effect on these outcomes. Although more time-consuming and costly to administer, incorporating nutrition training with community social capital development was associated with better child growth and nutrition outcomes than isolated training programmes alone.

Child development includes social personal development, motor, coarse language, and fine motor skills. It is estimated that more than 200 million children in developing countries fail to reach their optimal development potential due to poverty, malnutrition, or an unsupportive environment, which affects children's cognitive, motor, emotional, and social development. This study aims to determine the relationship between mother's knowledge about growth and development of toddlers with cognitive development of toddlers in the working area of Mungkajang Health Center, Palopo city. The research design used a cross sectional study. The number of samples is 82 people. The results of the study using the test chi-square showed that the p-value = 0.000 was smaller than the value of = 0.05, which means that there is a relationship between mother's knowledge about growth and development of toddlers and cognitive development of toddlers in the working area of Mungkajang Public Health Center, Palopo City. It is recommended for parents to always increase knowledge about child development so that children's cognitive development can be maximized.

Aim The purpose of this study was to assess the attitude of family physicians toward a child with delayed growth and development. Background Primary healthcare professionals play a key role in monitoring growth and development, the best indicator of the child’s health status. If delayed growth and development can be detected early, then it is usually possible to restore functioning. Methods This descriptive study was performed in Samsun, Turkey, in May and June 2015. In total, 325 family physicians were included. The study consisted of two parts. In the first session of the research, the story of an 18-month-old child with delayed growth and development was presented using visual materials. An interview between the child’s mother and a member of primary healthcare staff was then enacted by two of the authors using role-playing. Subsequently, participants were given the opportunity to ask the mother and member of primary healthcare staff questions about the case. During the sessions, two observers observed the participants, took notes and compared these after the presentation. In the second part of the study, the participants were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of three open-ended questions. Findings When asking questions of the mother, family physicians generally used accusatory and judgmental language. One of the questions most commonly put to the mother was ‘Do you think you are a good mother?’ Family physicians were keen to provide instruction for the patient and relatives. Family physicians to a large extent thought that the problem of a child with delayed growth and development can be resolved through education. Conclusions Family physicians’ manner of establishing relations with the patient and relatives is inappropriate. We therefore think that they should receive on-going in-service training on the subject.

Some of the effects of child development that are not in accordance with their age can inhibit brain development. Therefore, the purpose of this service is to carry out counseling on growth and development in children under five age. This activity was held from September 2018 to January 2019, at the Sukasari Posyandu, Sarolangun District. Sasaran is a mother who has children aged 0-5 years. This activity consisted of giving counseling with power point media, leaflets, posters, and pre-post test questions and anthropometric measurements of toddlers. The output of this service activity are: (1) Media leaflets and posters of child development and; (2) Mother's behavior in monitoring child growth and development. The results of the activity showed that participants were able to answer questions related to growth material in children aged 0-5 years in the post-test stage, ie correct answers of ≥ 80%. Participants are also able to understand the material about child development related to good consumption patterns through discussion. Based on this activity, it is necessary to collaborate with health workers and cadres to motivate children under five to routinely monitor the growth of children under five to posyandu or the nearest health care facility.

Full textAbstract:
A new approach to community-based nutritional surveillance has potential for improving programmes for growth promotion by focusing on the children at greatest risk and increasing the capacity for appropriate action. First, cross-sectional surveys can help to identify where malnutrition is distributed in the community so that high-risk groups can be targeted for intensive monitoring. Second, field studies can be conducted in parallel with general implementation to help define causal factors influencing local patterns of growth faltering and guide selection of an appropriate mix of interventions and methods to suit local conditions. This information can provide a better basis for training mothers, volunteers, and service personnel. Cultural, ecological, and economic constraints need to be identified as part of stimulating self-reliant community action. Demonstration of locally relevant and simplified procedures by a field research unit in each region should be linked with systematic extension to all parts of that region. These field research units should themselves be linked in a mutually supportive national and international network. Feedback of information from community-based surveillance can assist policy and administrative decisions for programme correction. These methods may provide our most direct means of introducing and measuring “adjustment with a human face.”

46,XX testicular disorder of sexual development (DSD) is characterized by male phenotype with 46,XX karyotype. The incidence rate is 1:25,000 in male newborn. Infants with ambiguous external genitals will be confronted with issue of gender assigment and may result in a stressful condition in the parents. Since gender assignment is inevitable, several factors should be considered in DSD management. The management approach for children born with DSD is individualized and multidisciplinary. Gender assignment aims to facilitate the patient to obtain the best quality of life. Adaptation of children with 46,XX testicular DSD as a determinant of quality of life is also influenced by psychological and family conditions. The purpose of this report was to observe medical growth and development aspects of the child with 46,XX terticular DSD as indicated by the aspects of growth and development, and health related quality of life, as well as the influential aspects. PA, 18 months, was diagnosed with 46,XX testicular DSD. The patient routinely visited to endocrinology clinic, urologic surgery, and child psychiatry clinic from the age of 6 months. The parents decided to raise patient as male. The patient had undergone surgery for hypospadias correction, hormone injections, child growth monitoring, and psychological monitoring (medical records of Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya in 2015). Management should consider individual and multidiciplinary accompaniment of the patient and parents, the importance of group support, and follow-up to adulthood, as well as possible longterm outcomes that will occur in the future so that the patients and the parents need to be prepared.

The aim: Of the work was to study 25-year trends in the incidence of congenital anomalies in the child population of Ukraine in order to determine the impact of ecotoxic environmental factors on their development, in particular radiation. Materials and methods: Methods of statistical assessment, epidemiological analysis of materials at the Center for Medical Statistics of the MOH of Ukraine were used. Results: The rate of congenital anomalies growth for the recent 25 years has exceeded the growth rate of the total incidence in the child population of Ukraine by 1.6 times, occupying the leading place in Europe by the level of environment pollution. Over the last 25 years, the growth of the Ukrainian children’s congenital anomalies incidence level by 59.5% is observed, mostly in children from large industrial regions of Ukraine, due to the significant ecotoxic effect of pollutants on the child’s body. Children living permanently in the areas contaminated by the Chernobyl accident had significantly higher rates of congenital anomalies in 1986 than in the early 1990s, but over the recent 25 years the incidence in this contingent has decreased. Conclusions: The results of such long-term studies performed by a group of leading Ukrainian scientists from different regions of Ukraine indicate that in children experiencing negative effects of ecotoxic factors, including radiation, an increase in the detection and prevalence of congenital defects is observed, which requires complex international and intersectoral measures to prevent and reduce child mortality.

Regular, long-term anthropometric follow-up is one of the fundamental methods of assessing the child’s health and well-being. However, there is still a lot of inconsistency in anthropometric practices and standards that may have a negative impact on clinical practice (e.g. delay in diagnosing children with growth or feeding disorders, genetic and metabolic syndromes). The paper discusses the principles of basic measurements: length/height, body weight, circumferences: head, chest and arm. Attention was also paid to the use of professional anthropometric equipment. Appropriately performed measurements allow the calculation of weight-height indices, which define nutrition disturbances (overweight, obesity and malnutrition), and also constitute the basis for conducting specialised diagnostics. In 2011, a group of experts recommended standards of body length/height, body weight, head circumference and body mass index developed by the World Health Organization for children up to 5 years of age. In 2013, nationwide reference values for weight, height and body mass index for children aged from 3 to 6 years were published and accepted as valid (OLA project). They complemented previously developed percentile charts for children aged 7–18 years (OLAF project). The paper proposes to adopt uniform standards of anthropometric measurements and to initiate a discussion in the paediatric community on the acceptance of common growth charts for the basic anthropometric measurements.

Serial Extraction is a useful means of improving the shape and function of the developing dento-alveolar system in selected cases. However, it requires an ability to recognise departures from normal development and to predict growth changes. This may be beyond the skill of the average practitioner. Much depends upon careful monitoring with the aid of study casts and radiographs. It is often necessary to carry out simple interceptive measures such as grinding of deciduous teeth or simple tooth movements at carefully selected ages. The selection of suitable cases and the procedures for managing them are illustrated by examples of treated cases.

IntroductionEvidence on the effects of community health worker (CHW) interventions and conditional cash transfers (CCTs) on child growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa remains sparse.MethodsWe conducted a single-blind, cluster-randomised controlled trial of an integrated home-visiting health, nutrition and responsive stimulation intervention alone and in combination with CCTs to promote antenatal and child clinic attendance from 2017 to 2019 in rural Morogoro Region, Tanzania. Pregnant women and caregivers with a child <1 year of age were enrolled. Twelve villages were randomised to either (1) CHW (n=200 participants), (2) CHW+CCT (n=200) or (3) control (n=193). An intention-to-treat analysis was conducted for the primary trial outcomes of child cognitive, language and motor development assessed with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development and child length/height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) at 18 months of follow-up.ResultsThe CHW and CHW+CCT interventions had beneficial effects on child cognitive development as compared with control (standardised mean difference (SMD): 0.15, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.24, and SMD: 0.18, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.28, respectively). The CHW+CCT intervention also had positive effects on language (SMD: 0.08, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.15) and motor (SMD: 0.16, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.28) development. Both CHW and CHW+CCT interventions had no effect on HAZ in the primary analysis; however, there were statistically significant positive effects in multivariable analyses. The CHW+CCT group (mean difference: 3.0 visits, 95% CI 2.1 to 4.0) and the CHW group (mean difference: 1.5 visits, 95% CI 0.6 to 2.5) attended greater number of child health and growth monitoring clinic visits as compared to the control group.ConclusionIntegrated CHW home-visiting interventions can improve child cognitive development and may have positive effects on linear growth. Combining CHW with CCT may provide additional benefits on clinic visit attendance and selected child development outcomes.Trial registration numberISRCTN10323949.

Purpose. To report a rare case of pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) in a child two months after receiving treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and to emphasize the need of close collaboration between ophthalmologists and pediatric endocrinologists in monitoring children receiving rhGH.Methods. A 12-year-old boy with congenital hypothyroidism started treatment with rhGH on a dose of 1,5 mg/daily IM (4.5 IU daily). Eight weeks later, he was complaining of severe headache without any other accompanying symptoms. The child was further investigated with computed tomography scan and lumbar puncture.Results. Computed tomography scan showed normal ventricular size and lumbar puncture revealed an elevated opening pressure of 360 mm H2O. RhGH was discontinued and acetazolamide 250 mg per os twice daily was initiated. Eight weeks later, the papilledema was resolved.Conclusions. There appears to be a causal relationship between the initiation of treatment with rhGH and the development of PTC. All children receiving rhGH should have a complete ophthalmological examination if they report headache or visual disturbances shortly after the treatment. Discontinuation of rhGH and initiation of treatment with acetazolamide may be needed and regular follow-up examinations by an ophthalmologist should be recommended.

Background: Early childhood development (ECD) refers to the age-appropriate language, cognitive and socio-emotional growth in early years of life. For the very young, 0-3 years of age, parents and caregivers are the main source of stimulus and care. Poor socio-economic conditions may contribute to suboptimal parenting.Methods: We assessed caregivers’ knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding ECD in underprivileged regions of Telangana, South-India, using a structured survey, and qualitative interviews of frontline workers (FLWs).Results: A large proportion of caregivers had appropriate knowledge and practices regarding nutrition and health: colostrum (>80%), breastfeeding (>94%), growth monitoring (>90%), immunization (99%), and health-seeking for the child (98%). Regarding early stimulation, caregivers knew and believed that reading (91%), playing (94%), storytelling and singing (79%) make the child intelligent; but were unaware that these activities should be initiated before 3 years of age, thus their practice of the same was also low. They expressed their love and affection (99%) well for the child, spent time (46%) and talked to the child (59%), but were not aware this contributes to cognitive and emotional development of the child. Major challenges in effective ECD care as per FLWs included parental attitude, mothers’ agricultural work routine and language barrier.Conclusion: We observed gaps in age-appropriate early stimulation and responsive care. Several good practices are rooted in tradition, but caregivers were not completely aware of the contribution of these practices to their child’s development. Qualitative interviews with FLW show the need of culturally relevant interventions to empower caregivers regarding ECD.

Toddler development stage is an important thing to always follow-up. A child is not the same as a miniature adult. Small children are still experiencing a process of growth and development. These two processes are important for the child's future in terms of physical and brain development. Delays or abnormalities at the stage of toddler development can have a negative impact on the toddler. This is the reason why knowing the stage of toddler development becomes a very important thing. Monitoring toddler development can be more practical by utilizing a combination of technology between microcontroller control and database usage as a result of monitoring. Monitoring conducted on toddlers can include monitoring the development of body weight, monitoring body temperature, and monitoring the toddler's heart rate. This microcontroller can process data generated by load cell, temperature sensor and heartbeat sensors to be processed and displayed in real time using the web with a MySQL database. Users who have logged in can access data on the development of body weight, body temperature, and heart rate of toddlers with good and organized records wherever and whenever. So that toddler development can be known easily. Designing a monitoring system for toddler development using a microcontroller that is integrated with the MySQL database at the Posyandu Pian Raya Kabupatem Musi Rawas can be a good solution so that toddler development data can be controlled and accessed anytime.

Article has actual scientific issues associated with the detection capabilities of technology monitoring self-identity in the context of quality management
of modern education. The article raises the question of design, implementation and monitoring technology sense of self-development of younger
schoolboys in the development of GEF primary education in extracurricular activities, the methodology and technology tools for its implementation.
The proposed self-monitoring technology students in extracurricular activities under the GEF primary education takes into account the requirements
of the Government of the Russian Federation "On the implementation of the monitoring system of education" and the requirements for the results of
development of the basic educational program of primary education, as reflected in the standards.
In the construction of monitoring technology self-development of students in extracurricular activities is reflected not only the elements of the external,
but internal components of the evaluation of the quality of education, not only standardized procedures (tests, the test work, etc.), but also new methods
of assessment that reflect personal achievement and personal growth of the child.
The article demonstrates in detail the sequence of technological development of self-monitoring technology in children´s extracurricular activities,
spelled out the procedural part of the study. The author suggests a diagnostic toolkit self-development of students for various educational programs;
authoring: route book pupil, which made monitoring data and recommendations are fixed educator and psychologist; student book "I Know thyself", its
analysis will allow psychologists and educators to make the route of individual self-development of the child. Their use in the practice of the educational
process will produce trending self-identity of the student and to determine effective means to ensure that emphasizes the importance of the results
obtained in relation to each child.
The implementation of self-monitoring technology students in extracurricular activities under the GEF implementing primary education will improve the
quality of students´ extracurricular activities, as well as provide the ability to control the process of self-development based on analysis of data obtained
from monitoring.
The developed technology has found its application in the educational space of non-formal education of the city of Kaluga and Kaluga region.
The article may be of interest to elementary school teachers, employees of additional education of children, psychologists, teaching staff of educational
organizations implementing self-monitoring of students.

Few prospective studies of child growth and its determinants take place in programmatic contexts. We evaluated the effect of Save the Children's (SC) community empowerment and nutrition program (CENP) on child growth, care, morbidity, empowerment, and behavioral determinants. This paper describes the research methods of this community-based study. We used a longitudinal, prospective, randomized design. We selected 12 impoverished communes with documented child malnutrition, three comparison, and three intervention communes in each of two districts in Phu Tho Province, west of Hanoi. SC taught district trainers in November 1999 to train local health volunteers to implement the 10-month CENP, including situation analysis, positive deviance (PD) inquiry, growth monitoring and promotion, nutrition education and rehabilitation program (NERP), deworming, and monitoring. PD inquiries aim to discover successful care practices in poor households that likely promote well-nourished children. NERPs are neighborhood-based, facilitated group learning sessions where caregivers of malnourished children learn and practice PD and other healthy behaviors. We dewormed all intervention and comparison children. We weighed all children less than 24 months of age living in the intervention and comparison communes and randomly selected 240 children (120 intervention and 120 comparison). We gathered information on nutritional status, diet, illness, care, behavioral determinants, empowerment, and program quality, monthly for six months with a re-survey at 12 months. We collected most information through maternal interview but also observed hygiene and program quality, and videotaped feedings at home. Some implementation and research limitations will attenuate CENP impact and measurement of its effectiveness.

Context: Descriptions of the development of symptoms of upper airway obstruction and sudden death of children with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) while on GH therapy have led to concern about GH contributing to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), especially early in treatment. However, two studies using monitoring with polysomnography (PSG) have not shown deterioration in OSA after 6 wk on GH, except as related to upper respiratory tract infections. Objective: The aim was to describe the evolution of OSA in a girl with PWS on GH treatment in order to highlight important aspects of long-term clinical monitoring for patients with PWS on GH treatment. Patient and Research Design: GH was commenced when the patient was 2.9 yr of age. PSG was performed at baseline and 7 wk after commencing GH, plus at intervals throughout treatment based on symptoms of OSA. Intervention: GH was given at doses ranging from 4.2 to 4.7 mg/m2 · wk over a period of 3 yr. Main Outcome Measure: OSA was quantified by PSG. Results: OSA was not present at baseline or after 7 wk on GH but developed after 6 months, following a small increase in GH dose. Cessation of GH was accompanied by resolution of OSA. GH was restarted 2 yr later, again associated with the development of OSA that resolved after cessation of GH. Conclusion: This case highlights that OSA may develop late in GH treatment. Children should be monitored for the symptoms of OSA throughout GH treatment, and PSG should be repeated if symptoms develop.

Background. Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is an Indian community-centric government program organized under Anganwadi centres catering to supplementary nutrition, health and preschool education, primary healthcare, growth monitoring and counselling the children under six years old along with their mothers. It is the world’s largest outreach program in a developing country covering a population of 1.35 billion; the variations in service delivery were analysed involving cross-sectional rural and urban Anganwadi centers in New Delhi.
Methods. Data were collected by assessment of children and mothers, interview of Anganwadi workers and observation of service delivery parameters and conduction of activities. Infrastructural, beneficiaries, services and content were evaluated by a suitable pre-tested questionnaire based on the National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) evaluation proforma. The data was analysed by a descriptive statistics.
Results. Gaps were found in respect of infrastructure, resources, health and nutrition facilities especially at rural Anganwadi centre which was inadequate in terms of implementation of nutrition and health program, supplementary nutrition, preschool education and nutrition rehabilitation centre for existing beneficiaries. Both Anganwadi centres were not catering for new WHO growth standards and adolescent health.
Conclusions. Gaps found in respect of infrastructure, resources, health and nutrition facilities can affect performance of ICDS program and the services delivered by Anganwadi centres, which need a boost. Both urban and rural centres have a direct opportunity towards delivering adolescent health program focusing on nutrition and education of girls prior to their pregnancy, and adoption of new WHO growth standards.

Immunization, nutritional support for food vitamins and nutritional content from food are important components to support good children's growth and development. However, the number of malnutrition and malnutrition in Indonesia is still high, causing many children under five to experience stunting during the golden age. Through this research, analysis and design of mobile-based information systems that can be accessed anywhere and anytime as needed is carried out. The design of this information system can be used as a guide for young mothers regarding child health information needed, especially during the growth and development period of toddlers by monitoring growth curves and providing health recommendations through the calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) in toddlers and can also be used as a reminder and recording of immunization data in children under five.

Children's language skills are the most complex form of child development among other children's abilities, because of this, there are many children who experience language disorders or delays. The design of this study is a correlation study with a cross-sectional approach. This research has been conducted at Puskesmas I South Denpasar. The sample size is 40 people, using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by direct observation with KPSP monitoring tools. The data analysis technique used is the Chi-Square test because the data are not normally distributed. This study aims to determine the relationship between parenting and language development in children 1-2.5 years. The results of this study found that there was no relationship between stimulation (p = 0.477) and parental knowledge (p = 0.385) with language development in toddlers aged 1-2.5 years. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for monitoring the growth and development of infants and toddlers, especially language development at Puskesmas I, South Denpasar.

Usia emas pada anak berada pada saat 1000 hari pertama sejak kelahiran atau hingga anak berusia 2 tahun, tumbuh kembang anak dapat meningkat sangat signifikan pada usia ini. Pertumbuhan anak dapat maksimal apabila nutrisi yang diberikan juga tepat sejak usia lahir sampai 3 tahun. Stunting (kerdil) merupakan salahsatu penyakit yang disebabkan karena kurangnya nutrisi pada anak. Stunting adalah sebuah kondisi dimana bayi memiliki panjang dan tinggi badan yang lebih rendah daripada bayi pada umumnya. Pola asuh orang tua terhadap bayi secara mandiri menjadi sangat diperlukan. Untuk membantu orang tua dalam memantau tumbuh kembang anak serta mengurangi peningkatan jumlah bayi stunting maka dibangun sistem monitoring tumbuh kembang anak berbasis web. Pada sistem ini terdapat fitur untuk memberikan rekomendasi makanan berdasarkan kebutuhan kalori setiap anak. Dalam menentukan rekomendasi makanan diperlukan metode Sistem Pendukung Keputusan (SPK) sesuai dengan kebutuhan kalori anak. Dalam penerapan SPK, terdapat metode yang dapat digunakan untuk melakukan analisis data antara lain adalah metode <em>Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution</em> (TOPSIS). Alternatif yang digunakan meliputi nama makanan yang dapat dikonsumsi oleh anak usia 1 sampai dengan 3 tahun. Sedangkan kriteria yang digunakan adalah kalori yang didalamnya terdapat karbohidrat, lemak, protein, dan kalsium. 3.

The golden age in children remains in the first 1000 days from birth or until the child is born 2 years, child growth and development can increase very significantly at this age. The number of children who can reach a maximum age of 3 years. Stunting is a disease that causes nutritional deficiencies in children. Stunting is a place where babies have a lower length and height than a baby's place in general. Parenting for independent babies is needed. To help parents in developing child growth and development also increase the number of stunting babies a web-based growth and development monitoring system was built. This system provides features to provide food recommendations based on the calorie needs of each child. In determining food recommendations, a Decision Support System (SPK) method is needed in accordance with the calorie needs of children. In the application of SPK, methods that can be used to analyze data include the Technical Method for Preference Order with Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The alternatives used are the names of foods that can be consumed by children aged 1 to 3 years. While the criteria used are calories in fat, fat, protein, and calcium. 3. The ranking results given by TOPSIS have succeeded in ranking them with different values, except for a number of alternatives. That's because it considers the value of the two alternatives on each criterion.</em></p><p class="Judul2"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>

Full textAbstract:
Dynamic education policy and value system can change only with growth and development. This education plays a key role in enhancing about these changes, and the right time to initiate this process of education is better from early childhood. The study explores the issues and challenges of doing early childhood development (ECD) policy for growth of self-regulations along with Sarawakian Primary Schools in Malaysia. Recently the problems of early childhood providing primary schools at Bau district have been starling due to lack of instruments for pre-school services. These issues are now then become more tangled because of its multiracial education policy integration with students’ self-regulations from cultural diversity conditions belonging to variety beliefs and attitudes. Quantitative and qualitative related data were obtained through field observation, interviews and field surveys while secondary data collected from diverse sources. Nearly 57% of the respondents agreed for improvement of ECD policy with sustainable mechanism of monitoring and implementation at each of developmental stages of child. The research has also shown that there are gaps between the aspired and implemented comprehensive education policies for more quality preschool classes and initiatives. The study suggests future research trajectories of a new collaborative alternative dynamic approach to drive the methodological agenda and recommendations on ways to further incorporate the demanding ECD policy instruments towards growth of self-regulations.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to evaluate knowledge on child survival among mothers of children under five years of age living in nine municipalities in North and Northeast Brazil. A standardized questionnaire was used for home interviews of mothers visited by volunteers from the Pastorate of the Child and mothers not visited by the program (control areas). The association between independent variables and the outcome (visited versus not visited by the Pastorate of the Child) was evaluated using the chi-square test. Among the 752 mothers studied, 386 were visited by Pastorate of the Child volunteers and 366 were not visited. Mothers visited by the Pastorate of the Child, although poorer, showed better knowledge on monitoring child growth and identifying child development difficulties as compared to mothers from the control areas. Despite the better performance of mothers visited by the Pastorate of the Child volunteers, maternal knowledge on child survival in both groups was less than desirable. This hinders the identification of more serious cases, delays seeking medical care, and reduces the impact on child morbidity and mortality.
