“…These ®ndings agree with other nutrition and play studies in which the likelihood of a stress reaction (ie fussing, clinging, comfort-seeking behaviors, and behavioral inhibition) to the unfamiliarity of a play assessment is related to undernutrition (GranthamMcGregor et al, 1987;Graves, 1976Graves, , 1976Black & Bengum 1979;Lozoff et al, 1986). Competent play requires¯uid exploration of the environment in a calm focused way, accompanied by affect that is generally neutral or positive (Cielinski et al, 1995). An abundance of expressed negative emotion or the child's inability to self-regulate and to return to a calm state after being frustrated or upset, will interfere with play.…”

“…An abundance of expressed negative emotion or the child's inability to self-regulate and to return to a calm state after being frustrated or upset, will interfere with play. Other researchers report that toddlers in at-risk conditions are more likely to have dif®culty with initiating, organizing and sustaining play activities during unstructured free play (Cielinski et al, 1995;Rodning et al, 1989). Results of other home and day care observations within the larger study indicated that children receiving E supplements appeared more socially mature than children in the other groups.…”

Objectives: This paper reports the effects of an energy and micronutrient supplementation on quantitative and qualitative aspects of play among poorly nourished children. At issue is whether the supplement led to a progression in complexity of play. Design: two cohorts of children were randomly assigned to three treatments: E 1171 kJ 12 mg iron; M 12 mg iron 209 kJ; S 104 kJ. Supplementation was given for 6 months. Evaluations of play behavior were repeated four times. Setting: The sites were six tea plantations in Pangalengan, West Java. Subjects: The present study utilized a subsample of 55 children recruited for the larger Pangalengan project 6 months into the study. Thirty-eight children were recruited late enough to allow for longitudinal observations. The remaining cases were used for cross sectional observations only. Inclusion criteria were: no chronic disease; length-for-age À1 standard deviation (s.d.) and weight-for-length between À1 and À2 s.d. of the median of the reference of the World Health Organization. Methods: The children were videotaped during play. These tapes were coded for eight mutually exclusive categories of activities. Four activities coded represented manipulative, relational, functional and symbolic play. Results: Treatment did not affect qualitative play. Girls that received E increased functional play but boys showed the opposite effect. Children in the S group were breastfed more during play as compared to the E group. Children in the E group waited less to begin play.

“…Infelizmente, há uma escassez de trabalhos que focalizam este tema, em se tratando de crianças que apresentam algum tipo de deficiência, particularmente no Brasil (Dessen & PereiraSilva, 2000). Em geral, há uma predominância de estudos que focalizam as interações desenvolvidas entre a mãe e sua criança com deficiência mental (DM) (Cielinski, Vaughn, Seifer & Contreras, 1995;Colnago, 1991;Corter, Pepler, Stanhope & Abramovitch, 1992;Landry, Garner, Pirie & Swank, 1994;Lieberman, Padan-Belkin & Harel, 1995;Marfo, Dedrick & Barbour, 1998;Roach, Barratt, Miller & Leavitt, 1998;Sigolo, 1994;Vaughn & cols., 1994). O subsistema pai-criança DM é pouco investigado (Herbert & Carpenter, 1994;Hornby, 1995;Rodrigue, Morgan & Geffken, 1992), indicando a necessidade de implementação não somente de mais estudos sobre este tema, mas também de estudos que incluam todos os membros da família (Dessen, 1997;Dessen & Pereira-Silva, 2000;Kreppner, 2000).…”

ResumoCrianças com deficiência exercem um impacto profundo sobre o funcionamento da família que necessita ser melhor investigado. Este estudo tem como objetivos a) descrever alguns aspectos do desenvolvimento e da vida familiar de crianças com síndrome de Down, segundo o relato dos genitores e b) identificar os padrões de interação familiar, destacando os subsistemas genitores-criança. Seis famílias, consistindo de pai, mãe e uma criança pré-escolar com síndrome de Down, foram selecionadas. As mães responderam um questionário e participaram de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os pais, separadamente. Dezoito sessões de observação do comportamento foram conduzidas na residência das famílias, totalizando 171 minutos de gravação em vídeo de atividades livres. Os resultados mostraram que as atividades foram desenvolvidas predominantemente de forma conjunta e que as interações familiares foram caracterizadas pela sincronia , supervisão , liderança e amistosidade . Os dados sugerem que, para compreender o funcionamento de famílias de crianças com síndrome de Down, faz-se necessário focalizar o papel do pai. Palavras-chave: Interações familiares; síndrome de Down; observação direta do comportamento; crianças pré-escolares. Children with Down Syndrome and their Family InteractionsAbstract Disabled children exert strong impact on the families dynamic that need to be better investigated. This study aims to a) describe some aspects of the Down syndrome children s development and family life according to parents and b) identify the patterns of family interaction, emphasising the parent-child subsystems. Six families consisting of father, mother and preschool child with Down syndrome were selected: to participate in this study. A questionnaire was answered by mothers and semi-structured interviews by mothers and fathers, separately. Eighteen behaviour observations were conducted in the families residence consisting of 171 minutes of video recording of free home activity sessions. The results show that the activities were carried out by family members with predominance of the joint participation . The family interactions were developed in a synchronised way, with supervision , leadership , and friendship . Our data suggest the need of focusing on the role of the father in order to better understand the functioning of Down syndrome children s families.

“…We suggest that negative emotions were not yet signi®cantly interfering with object manipulation among the 12-month-old babies, probably because for these younger babies this activity is less likely to represent true exploration, ie attentiveness to the characteristics of the objects (Ruff & Saltarelli, 1993). In older children, however, object manipulation is more likely to involve perceptual information processing which requires calmness, ie neutral or positive emotions (Cielinski et al, 1995). In other words, younger children may fuss, but still manipulate toys, eg mouth or bang objects.…”

Objectives: Structural equation modeling of an abbreviated version of the conceptual model of the effects of micronutrient and energy supplementation on growth and development of undernourished children in West Java. The study focused on the baseline data from the Pangalengan longitudinal project. Design: This trial included two cohorts of children classi®ed as nutritionally-at-risk who were randomly assigned to three treatments (condensed milk micronutrients (E ); skimmed milk micronutrients (M); skimmed milk (S )). Supplements were given for a period of up to 12 months. Setting: The sites were six tea plantations in Pangalengan. Subjects: A 12-month-old (n 53) and an 18-month-old (n 83) cohort were recruited from 24 day care centers. Twenty children that received the S supplement were part of the 12-and 18-month-old cohorts. Criteria for inclusion were: no chronic disease; length-for-age À1 standard deviation (s.d.) and weight-for-length between À1 and À2 s.d. of the median of the reference of the World Health Organization. Variables: Indicators of socioeconomic status were economic and educational resources; length-for-age and weight-for-length were used as indicators of nutritional status; motor development and motor activity were measured with custom-made procedures; and carrying by caretaker and manipulation of objects were used as indicators of caretaking and exploratory behavior. Results: The model ®tted the data of the older but not of the younger cohort (w 2 statistic and three other indices of goodness to ®t). However, there were no differences between cohorts in the estimation of the models.
