The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated school closures have forced children to study online, making work education almost impossible. This study aimed to examine the status quo and the profiles of early work education done by Chinese parents. 1564 Chinese parents with young children (aged 3–6 years) completed an online survey. Nine parents were interviewed. Findings indicated that: (1) parents scored the highest on resilience education, followed by responsibility and creativity; (2) three profiles of work education emerged: the least level, the medium level, the highest level; (3) there were significant effects of regions, household income, and educational levels; (4) the pandemic and digitalization rendered work education more intelligent, while also reducing children’s work practice in the outdoor; and (5) parents raised concerns about early digital addiction. Implications for early childhood education are also discussed.KEYWORDS: Early childhood work educationwork habits and characterdouble impact of the global pandemic and digitalizationdigital divide Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by National Social Science Fund of China: [Grant Number 22CSH039].Notes on contributorsCong WeiCong Wei is a lecturer at Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

We investigated the ways in which infant social withdrawal and mother sensitivity may be associated to a BPD diagnosis in mothers. Two groups of clinic-referred mother–infant dyads were set up: one in which consulting mothers were diagnosed with BPD. Infant social withdrawal and maternal sensitivity were assessed during free-play interactions videotaped within a clinical setting. Mothers with BPD showed lower maternal sensitivity, while their infants displayed higher levels of social withdrawal behaviour when compared to dyads with no maternal psychiatric diagnosis. Infants of mothers with BPD appear at particular risk of adverse developmental outcomes from their very first months of life. Early interventions should concentrate on improving maternal interpretation and response to infant cues, such as identifying nonverbal behaviours and regulating the infant’s emotional states, and on promoting mentalization.KEYWORDS: Borderline personality disorderearly interactionmaternal sensitivityinfant social withdrawal Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJaqueline WendlandJaqueline Wendland, Full Professor of infant and perinatal clinical psychology and psychopathology at the Institute of Psychology, Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.

A 12-week-randomized controlled trial design with two intervention groups, i.e. school practice intervention (SPI), parent-involved intervention (PII), and one control group with traditional reading intervention (TRI) that provided data at pre-, mid-, post-test, and follow-up tests, was adopted. Seventy-five children participated in the study, with twenty-five participants in each group. Results indicated the gain scores of ToM score from pre to mid-tests and pre- to post-tests of the two intervention groups were higher than the control group. The PII group showed higher gain scores in the mid- and post-test than the SPI group. The intervention effects were well maintained in the SPI and PII groups during the two-month follow-up assessment. The findings indicated school-based dialogic reading can effectively promote ToM development and has a maintenance effect, especially when parents are engaged.KEYWORDS: Dialogic readingtheory of mindparental involvementyoung childrenintervention Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJie WangJie Wang, a graduate student in Pre-school Education at Jing Hengyi School of Education, Hangzhou Normal University.

In this cross-sectional study, 115 children between 5 and 7 years of age (preschool children with sports skill learning) were included (51 boys, 44.34%), and fluid intelligence was measured using the Wide Range of Intelligence Test; motor skills were assessed via the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition Gross Motor Record Form (BOT-2). Motor skills differed significantly among different sports skill learning groups. A significant positive relationship was found between fluid intelligence and bilateral coordination (β = 0.196, p = 0.030) and balance (β = 0.556, p = 0.000), whereas no significant correlation was found between fluid intelligence and running speed and agility (β = 0.026, p = 0.737). In conclusion, two motor skill components (bilateral coordination and balance) were related to fluid intelligence in 5–7-year-old children with sports skill learning, implying that they may be valuable indicators of fluid intelligence.KEYWORDS: Motor skillsfluid intelligencepreschool children AcknowledgementsWe are grateful to all the teachers, preschool children, and parents who made this study possible.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by The Ministry of Education of the China Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Foundation [grant number: 19YJA890019].Notes on contributorsHe JingDr. He Jing is a Master Supervisor in the College of Physical Education at the Shanghai Normal University.
