Preschool Tantrums: Early Signs of ADHD to Watch For

A study by the University of Edinburgh found that preschoolers who struggle with emotional regulation are more likely to exhibit ADHD symptoms and mental health issues by age seven. Analyzing data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, researchers linked slower emotional development to conduct problems and internalizing behaviors like sadness. The findings suggest that early monitoring of emotional regulation could help identify children at risk for mental health challenges, allowing for targeted interventions.

"Space Invaders Game Boosts Reading Skills in At-Risk Preschoolers"

The research suggests that action video games could be an effective tool for early intervention in children at risk for dyslexia and potentially other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Screen Time Has No Negative Impact on Preschoolers' Development, New Research Shows

New research suggests that screen time does not have a significant negative impact on the development of language, literacy, and math skills in preschoolers from low-income and minority homes. However, excessive screen usage, particularly at nighttime, may slightly hinder certain social and behavioral skills. The study found no direct correlation between the amount of time spent with screens and academic progress. While high levels of screen use were associated with smaller gains in social skills, this was only observed in children who used more than two hours of media per day. The findings aim to alleviate concerns about screen time and emphasize the need for better support for families and children living in poverty.

Preschoolers with Ear, Nose, and Throat Infections at Higher Risk of Autism.

Preschoolers with common ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issues may be at risk of autism or high levels of autism traits, according to a study published in BMJ Open. The research, which tracked over 10,000 children from birth, suggests that early identification and treatment of ENT conditions may help improve these children’s quality of life and provide insight into the origins of autism.
