…The Independent and Cumulative Effects of Sibling and Peer Bullying in Childhood on Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, and Self-Harm in Adulthood
Sibling and peer bullying are reported as the most frequent forms of violence experienced across childhood. There is now ample evidence indicating an association between sibling and peer bullying, with those reporting sibling bullying at an increased risk of peer bullying.
…Associations between infant and toddler regulatory problems, childhood co‐developing internalising and externalising trajectories, and adolescent depression, psychotic and borderline personality disorder symptoms
Early regulatory problems (RPs) are associated with childhood internalising and externalising symptoms. Internalising and externalising symptoms, in turn, are associated with adolescent psychopathology (e.g. personality disorders, depression). We examined whether RPs are directly associated with adolescent psychopathology, or whether associations are indirect via childhood internalising and externalising symptoms.
…Predictors of early motor trajectories from birth to 5 years in neonatal at‐risk and control children

…Standardisation of the Parent Report of Children’s Abilities–Revised (PARCA-R): a norm-referenced assessment of cognitive and language development at age 2 years
The Parent Report of Children’s Abilities–Revised (PARCA-R) can be used to identify preterm born children at risk for developmental delay at age 24 months. However, standardised scores for assessing all children in the general population and quantifying development relative to the norm are unavailable, thus limiting the use of the questionnaire. We aimed to develop scores that are standardised by age and sex for the PARCA-R to assess children’s cognitive and language development at age 24–27 months.
…Editorial: Persistence of infant crying, sleeping and feeding problems: need for prevention
Excessive crying, difficulties in feeding such as food refusal and difficulties with falling asleep or maintaining sleep after 4–6 months of age are labelled infant regulatory problems (RPs). If RPs occur together (having more than one RP), they have been found to be associated with behaviour and emotional problems in childhood and even in adulthood.1

Is Modern Life Rubbish for the Kids of Today?
Is the Facebook age causing our young people to be unhappy? If it is, what can we do to counter this?

Listen to Professor Dieter Wolke talking about student wellbeing and modern life on University of Warwick…
