“…In this context, it is important to inform pediatricians, psychologists, and other associated professionals, of the large number of papers that have highlighted the importance of early care (early intervention) as a means to reduce or prevent the risk of cognitive, communicative and social-emotional problems in these children (42,45,47,48,50,51). The majority of these studies highlight early care as a predictor of successful outcomes in the cognitive (42,47,48,50,51,67) communicativelinguistic (45,47) and emotional domains (48,70,71). Early intervention is the most important way to prevent and/or reduce academic, communicative and social-emotional (anxiety/depression) problems, and improve long-term adaptation to the environment, self-regulation, communication skills, social competence and academic performance in general.…”

Objective -The aim of this paper is to describe the psychological development in three areas (cognitive, communicative-linguistic and social-emotional domains) of very preterm children and/or low birth weight, aged from 0 to 6 years, to discover if problems exist and if these difficulties remain, decrease or increase over time, up to 6 years of age, through of review of studies done in this population. Materials and methods -Seven databases were searched. The search yielded 975 studies and those related to cognitive, communicative-linguistic and social-emotional development in children without physical problems, ranging in age from birth to 6 years, gestational age less than 32 weeks and/or birth-weight less than 2499 grams were analyzed. Most of the 47 studies analyzed were conducted after 2005, focused on children aged 3-5 years, and compared preterm and full-term infants. ResultsThe studies agree that preterm children differ in many developmental domains but there is no consensus on others. Several studies found a close association between the three different areas analyzed. Conclusion -Early intervention of preterm and/or low birth weight children is the most important way to prevent and/or reduce academic, communicative and social-emotional (anxiety/depression) problems, and improve long-term adaptation to the environment, self-regulation, communication skills, social competence and academic performance in general.

Post‐discharge preventive intervention programmes with involvement of the parent may support the resilience and developmental outcomes of infants born very preterm. Randomized controlled trials of home‐based family‐centred intervention programmes in very preterm infants that aimed to improve cognitive outcome, at least at age two, were selected and updated on the basis of a recent systematic review to compare their content and effect over time to form the basis of a narrative review. Six programmes were included in this narrative review. Four of the six programmes led to improved child cognitive and/or motor development. Two programmes, which focused primarily on responsive parenting and development, demonstrated improved cognitive outcome up till 5 years after completion of the programme. The programmes that also focused on maternal anxiety remediation led to improved maternal mental well‐being, along with improved child behaviour, in one study – even at 3 years after completion of the programme. The magnitude of the effects was modest. Family‐centred preventive intervention programmes that aim at improvement of child development should be continued after discharge home to improve the preterm child's resilience. Programmes may be most effective when they support the evolvement of a responsive parent–infant relationship over time, as well as the parent's well‐being.

“…Generelt har vi kunnskap om at depresjon hos mødre er assosiert med ulike vansker hos barna, for eksempel uro og irritabilitet i spedbarnsalderen, vansker med selvregulering og lav stresstoleranse (11). Mødre til barn med medfødt hjertefeil kan vaere spesielt utsatt for emosjonelt stress, og dette kan føre til samspillsproblemer (12)(13)(14)(15).…”
