Turner syndrome (TS), although considered a rare disease, is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in women, with an incident of 1 in 2500 female births. TS is characterized by distinctive physical features such as short stature, ovarian dysgenesis, an increased risk for heart and renal defects as well as a specific cognitive and psychosocial phenotype. Given the complexity of the condition, patients face manifold difficulties which increase over the lifespan. Furthermore, failures during the transitional phase to adult care result in moderate health outcomes and decreased quality of life. Guidelines on the optimal screening procedures and medical treatment are easy to find. However, recommendations for the treatment of the incriminating psychosocial aspects in TS are scarce. In this work, we first reviewed the literature on the cognitive and psychosocial development of girls with TS compared with normal development, from disclosure to young adulthood, and then introduce a psychosocial approach to counseling and treating patients with TS, including recommendations for age-appropriate psychological diagnostics. With this work, we aim to facilitate the integration of emphasized psychosocial care in state-of-the-art treatment for girls and women with TS.

This mixed-methods study examined influences, factors, and processes associated with parental recognition and appraisal of developmental concerns among 23 English-and Spanish-speaking parents of young children with signs of developmental or behavioral problems. Participants shared their experiences through in-depth interviews or focus groups and also completed questionnaires assessing children's developmental status and parental knowledge of infant and child development and other demographics. Half of the participants reported behavior, social, or speech concerns; more than a third had academic, receptive language, or self-help concerns; and roughly 15% reported fine or gross motor concerns. Although parent knowledge of child development was low (average 50%-65% correct), level of concern was consistent with referral for services. Parents clearly engaged in a sophisticated process of observing their children over time and across settings, comparing the index child with peers or to siblings when they were of the same age. In addition, parents considered the child's temperament, health status, and environment as part of the appraisal process. These findings suggest that parents and caregivers of young children may benefit from shared knowledge and information about typical and atypical child development behaviors and that their concerns should be considered as sophisticated responses indicating the need for referral.

“…About 8% to 18% of school-aged children have been diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, and many more have undiagnosed emotional and behavioural problems (5). The most common psychiatric diagnoses are attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety disorders; however, oppositional disorders and depression are increasing (6). Without appropriate interventions and parenting tools, children will be placed on poor health trajectories with lifelong effects.…”

The 'forgotten years' of middle childhood, from age 6 to 12, represent a critical period in child development. Emotional, social and physical development during this time have a lifelong impact on health and adult contributions to society. Mental health conditions have displaced physical illness as the leading childhood disability. Positive parenting can improve child behaviour, prevent early-onset conduct problems and provide a buffer from adverse childhood events resulting in decreased toxic stress and improved health. Medical homes can play a key role in supporting parents with positive parenting skills that are practical, evidence-based and useful in everyday life. Paediatricians need to explore the domains that promote healthy development, including caring environments, fundamental needs and nurturing relationships. Our objective is to promote high-quality positive parenting through middle childhood by identifying opportunities for paediatricians to frame parenting discussions in the context of development, behaviour and safety and to provide access to valuable parenting resources. Le pédiatre et les pratiques parentales pendant la phase intermédiaire de l'enfanceLes « années oubliées » de la phase intermédiaire de l'enfance, entre l'âge de six et 12 ans, sont une période critique du développement de l'enfant. Pendant cette période, le développement émotionnel, social et physique a des conséquences permanentes sur la santé et l'apport de l'adulte à la société. Les troubles de santé mentale ont remplacé les maladies physiques comme principale affection de l'enfance. Des pratiques parentales positives peuvent améliorer le comportement de l'enfant, prévenir les troubles des conduites d'apparition précoce et limiter les événements indésirables de l'enfance, réduisant ainsi le stress toxique et améliorant la santé. Les milieux médicaux peuvent beaucoup contribuer à soutenir les parents afin qu'ils acquièrent des compétences parentales positives pratiques, fondées sur des données probantes et utiles dans la vie quotidienne. Les pédiatres doivent explorer les sphères qui favorisent un développement sain, y compris les environnements attentionnés, les besoins fondamentaux et les relations aimantes. Afin de promouvoir des pratiques parentales positives de qualité tout au long de la phase intermédiaire de l'enfance, les auteurs visent à cerner les occasions que peuvent saisir les pédiatres pour structurer les discussions avec les parents sur le développement, le comportement et la sécurité et les orienter vers des ressources intéressantes sur ce type de pratiques.
