Families' difficulty finding new care is complicated by the shortages of convenient, affordable and quality childcare in the United States. Using online surveys, we gathered data from parents whose children received multiple behavioural warnings from early education programmes (N = 218). Parents completed retrospective survey questions about their perceptions of each care arrangement's quality, accessibility and affordability. Half of the children were formally or informally expelled for their behaviour, while the other half were retained or left for reasons other than behaviour (e.g., graduating to kindergarten). Children were mostly male (65.6%), White (77.98%) and 42.66% had a diagnosed or suspected disability. This exploratory report describes the differential perceptions and experiences of families excluded from and retained by early education programmes following behavioural incidents. Results show that, for the most part, parents perceived subsequent programmes as relatively equivalent. However, nearly a quarter of excluded children did not attend a subsequent programme, and 10% were excluded more than two times before kindergarten entry. Findings are discussed in light of the broader research on early childhood exclusionary discipline.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since many behavioural and psychological conditions in children are related to limitations in self-regulation, the extent to which delay tasks can be used as a screening for the detection of psychopathology is examined. Children from the general population (non-clinical sample; N = 1498; 51% girls) participated in delay tasks at the ages of 3 and 5. Parents rated ADHD and conduct problems when children were age 5 and 6, which we classified using cut-offs. Delay at age 3 was related to ADHD at age 5 (OR = 1.84) and conduct at age 6 (OR = 2.61). The results showed high specificity (77%–78%) and high negative predictive values (95%–98%), correctly identifying children below the SDQ cut-off, but low sensitivity (27%–42%), making the task unsuitable as a screening tool for children with an increased likelihood of developing psychopathology. These results were aggravated when only the first 20 s were considered, showing better specificity but worse sensitivity values.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study was conducted with caregivers of children aged 6–10 years in Mahikeng, South Africa and aimed to explore their beliefs related to the interconnected developmental continuum of ECD, school readiness and educational outcomes. A total of 18 caregivers participated in focus group discussions, including 2 males and 16 females. Qualitative data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. We developed four themes: being present; guiding children through school; influencing language and cognitive development and raising the next generation. Caregivers expressed beliefs that they played an important role in early language and cognitive development and in socioemotional development for older children. However, their behaviour was not necessarily motivated explicitly by child outcomes. Additionally, caregivers described many contextual factors, such as high levels of unemployment and crime, that may constrain the ability of households to support child development. Design of effective caregiving interventions must be informed by contextual understanding and help to overcome these barriers.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earlier studies mostly documented language competence only after toddlers had started producing their first words. Theoretical and methodological advances in this domain brought about more sophisticated ways of probing into early development by exploiting overt infant behaviour. One such method is based on so-called non-nutritive sucking (NNS), namely that infants spontaneously produce rhythmic mouth movements in the absence of receiving nutrition. This behaviour has been used to investigate infants' preference and discriminatory abilities by means of the high-amplitude sucking-procedure (HAS), which initially was one of few ways to gain insight into young infants' language processing. Here, the method is described, and some key findings are highlighted together with overarching trends. Over the last decades, however, the popularity of such studies has been declining, and some potential reasons for this decline are discussed. Next, the method's relevance for contemporary research is discussed by advocating a shift from using NNS as an indirect measure of language processing towards focusing on speech production. This is seen in light of the growing literature on neural synchronisation to speech and the role of the auditory-motor coupling in speech perception.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study analysed nationally representative data from the combined 2016–2022 National Survey of Children's Health (n = 239,534) to produce estimates of parent-reported diagnoses of children's anxiety, depression and behavioural or conduct problems, and to examine temporal trends for each condition. Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine the prevalence of the conditions by sociodemographic characteristics. Among children aged 3–17 years, 8.4% had anxiety, 3.7% had depression and 7.1% had behavioural or conduct problems. Between 2016 and 2022, there were increases in the prevalence of anxiety (6.9%–10.6%), depression (3.1%–4.6%) and behavioural or conduct problems (7.2%–7.5%). Older age and higher poverty were associated with higher odds of each condition, while having private insurance was associated with lower odds. Females had higher odds of anxiety (AOR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.15–1.29) and depression (AOR = 1.48; 95% CI, 1.35–1.61), and lower odds of behavioural or conduct problems (AOR = 0.45; 95% CI, 0.41–0.48).

Recent advancements in technology have led to increased accuracy and affordability of automatic transcription services, making them preferable over the laborious and time-consuming process of manual transcription. STR allows users to take advantage of speech-to-text transcription services to transcribe their own verbal response data. STR is partially tailored to child development researchers utilising the Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts (CHAT) though the code is generic enough to output unformatted transcriptions. STR allows transcription of single words and multi-speaker dialogues in 50+ languages. We describe STR, provide a tutorial for CHAT-formatted transcriptions, describe settings available for customising transcription and conduct a brief analysis of the efficiency and accuracy of transcription. Speech that was transcribed in over half an hour by trained transcribers was transcribed in less than two minutes (with ~90% accuracy) by Rev AI. Considering the additional time needed for error correction and CHAT formatting, we estimate that manual transcription takes twice as long as transcribing with assistance from STR.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
