Abstract:

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterized by marked impairment in the acquisition of motor skill. The poor performance of movement skills marks developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and this defect affects the child's activities of daily living in innumerous ways. The ability of the child in the execution of the motor task is substantially below that expected for a child's chronological age and intelligence. DCD affects the child's ability in performing both gross and fine motor skills. Performing the Variety of motor tasks is impaired, and the child is isolated socially

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The prevalence of obesity among youth in the USA is currently &gt;18% with projections that more than half of today's children will be obese as adults. The growth trajectory of children more likely to become obese is determined by weight in earliest childhood, and childhood body mass index (BMI) tracks through adolescence and adulthood. Childhood consequences of obesity include increased risk of asthma, type 2 diabetes mellitus, orthopedic disorders, and reduced academic performance. Health implications of obesity in adulthood include premature coronary artery disease, hypertensio

Abstract:

The steady raise in childhood obesity is a major public health problem nationally and globally. Childhood obesity is primarily caused by an imbalance between caloric intake and caloric expenditure. The increase in childhood obesity rates over the past 3 decades suggested involvement of environmental and behavioral factors in the obesity epidemic. While childhood obesity is considered a public health crisis in the United States, only limited research is available about the potential impact of neighborhood-level factors such as access to healthy food, neighborhood safety, and risk-free outdoor p

Abstract:

Obesity bias has become the most acceptable form of prejudice in American society (Latner, O'Brien, Durso, Brinkman, & MacDonald, 2008). Stigmatization of the obese has tremendous social and economic costs both for the stigmatized population and for society as a whole. Few studies have been done to show effective ways to reduce obesity bias. This study looked to expand the research on effective ways to reduce obesity bias. Using a between-participants experimental design, the present study investigated whether multi-faceted information content about the causes of obesity (including psychologic

Abstract:

Childhood obesity is a growing challenge in the U.S. Hispanic American population. There is a need for evidence-based approaches to combat this problem. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) is one such approach. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which selected constructs of SCT (expectations, self-efficacy, self-efficacy in overcoming barriers and self-control) could predict five childhood obesity prevention behaviors, namely time spent on television watching, time spent on physical activities, water consumption, consumption of fruits and vegetables, and meal portion size among H

Abstract:

Obesity is a highly prevalent concern in American schoolchildren and is associated with a myriad of chronic health issues, such as type 2 diabetes, asthma, sleep problems, and premature mortality. Furthermore, obesity is associated with adverse psychological factors, including symptoms of depression, disordered eating, low self-esteem, poor quality of life, social isolation, and avoidance of healthcare services. It is therefore critical that school professionals understand the problem of childhood obesity as well as effective strategies for addressing the problem and its social impact. This chapter provides an overview of childhood overweight and obesity and the associated complications related to physical health, academic achievement. and peer interactions. It includes a review of considerations and strategies for school-based professionals to engage in both assessment and intervention to address childhood obesity in students.

Abstract:

Children’s disconnection from nature has urgent ramifications, as nature is associated with a wide variety of positive human health outcomes and, conversely, disconnection from nature is linked to negative health outcomes. This chapter first considers factors (e.g. screen time, recess policies) that have contributed to children spending less time outdoors. Issues of equity are also discussed; the fact that income and race-based disparities in nature access can exacerbate effects on health. The chapter then outlines linkages between the natural environment and children’s health, reviewing evidence that connects nature to children’s health, function, and well-being. It includes aspects of both mental and physical health, and addresses outcomes such as: social interaction and social cohesion; cognitive restoration and academic performance; symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; myopia; physical activity and obesity; and vitamin D deficiency. Future research and implications for public health are considered. Lastly, promising intervention programmes are described.

Abstract:

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most severe form of “obstructive sleep-disordered breathing,” a spectrum of abnormal respiratory patterns during sleep characterized by snoring and increased respiratory effort due to increased upper airway resistance and pharyngeal collapsibility. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy and obesity are the most frequent causes of OSA in children. The clinical manifestations of OSA include apneas (cessation of oronasal airflow) and hypopneas (reduction of airflow), accompanied by arousals from sleep, restless sleep, daytime symptoms (sleepiness, inattention, hyperactivity), and academic difficulties. Cysteinyl leukotrienes contribute to the pathogenesis of both asthma and OSA in childhood. Cysteinyl leukotrienes have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Preliminary evidence suggests that treatment of sleep apnea with adenotonsillectomy results in improved control of coexisting asthma.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the impacts of social media on children. Advantages and disadvantages of social media are always available. Positive aspects of social media include allowing children to be brought up as multicultural individuals, enabling education and training environments to design for purposes, using as the main or supplementary source of education, a great power in creating and sharing information. Its negative aspects include leading to a reduction of their academic, social, and cognitive skills in the early periods when children were exposed to the social media, causing the children to develop obesity, mostly bringing up as consumption-centered individuals, perceive the world as a screenshot, and have low critical, creative, and reflective thinking skills. Therefore, one of the most important tasks undertaken to reduce or eliminate the negative effects is to raise and educate media-literate individuals.
