“…In long-term panels, young children with better language, cognitive, motor, and socio-emotional development have better outcomes in adulthood (Case and Paxson 2008;Currie and Thomas 2001;Moffitt et al 2011). Plausibly exogenous improvements in maternal education (Carneiro et al 2013), early nutrition (Hoddinott et al 2008;Maluccio et al 2009), the quality of the home environment (Eckenrode et al 2010;Gertler et al 2014;Olds et al 1998), preschool attendance (Berlinski et al 2008;Campbell et al 2002Campbell et al , 2014Heckman et al 2010), and kindergarten classroom quality (Chetty et al 2011) have been shown to result in higher school achievement, better health status, lower levels of criminal behavior, and better labor market outcomes in developed and developing countries.…”

AbstractDevelopment in early childhood predicts schooling and labor market outcomes in adulthood. In this paper we use a fixed effects identification strategy to assess how differences in the quality of child care affect the communication, fine motor, and problem solving skills of infants and toddlers. We show that children have significantly better development outcomes in classrooms with more experienced caregivers, and classrooms with caregivers who demonstrate higher-quality interactions with children. There is substantial heterogeneity in the effects of caregiver quality on child development. Parents either cannot observe, or do not value, the quality of care.JEL codes: I00, I10, I20, I25, I30, I38, J13.

“…How do we use epigenetic concepts to design interventions? Prevention research has shown that early life preventive interventions can have long-lasting effects on the children into adulthood [37][38][39][40]. Could epigenetic markers be used to follow up these interventions?…”

The emerging field of behavioral epigenetics is producing a growing body of evidence that early life experience and social exposure can alter the way by which genes are marked with DNA methylation. We hypothesize that changes in DNA methylation as well as other epigenetic markers could generate stable phenotypes. Early life adversity appears to result in altered DNA methylation of genes in the brain and peripheral tissues, and these changes are associated with adverse phenotypic changes. Although the data are still sparse, early epigenetic studies have provided a proof of principle that experiences and the environment leave marks on genes, and thus suggest molecular and physical mechanisms for the epidemiological concept of gene-environment interaction. The main attraction of DNA methylation for type I (TI) translational prevention science is the fact that, different from genetic changes that are inherited from our ancestors, DNA methylation is potentially preventable and reversible and, therefore, there is a prospect of epigenetically targeted interventions. In addition, DNA methylation markers might provide an objective tool for assessing effects of early adverse experience on individual risks as well as providing objective measures of progress of an intervention. In spite of this great potential promise of the emerging field of social and translational epigenetics, many practical challenges remain that must be addressed before behavioral epigenetics could become translational epigenetics.

“…These visitations also have been associated with reduced risk of serious antisocial behavior and substance abuse by adolescent offspring followed up during the first 15 years of life. [98][99][100][101] Multidimensional family and peer support with positive role models and concrete examples of how to overcome challenges has also been shown to help teenagers initiate and continue breastfeeding. 102 …”

Teen pregnancy and parenting remain an important public health issue in the United States and the world, and many children live with their adolescent parents alone or as part of an extended family. A significant proportion of teen parents reside with their family of origin, significantly affecting the multigenerational family structure. Repeated births to teen parents are also common. This clinical report updates a previous policy statement on care of the adolescent parent and their children and addresses medical and psychosocial risks specific to this population. Challenges unique to teen parents and their children are reviewed, along with suggestions for the pediatrician on models for intervention and care.
