Maggi, Stefania, Irwin, Lori J., Siddiqi, Arjumand, Hertzman, Clyde·2010·Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health

Abstract

Aim: This paper offers an overview of the current state of knowledge of the critical social determinants of child development and the complex ways in which these can influence health trajectories. Methods: We conducted an overview of the research conducted by medical and social scientists in the attempt to uncover the conditions under which children reach optimal health and developmental. Results: The first years of life represent a critical period during which trajectories of health vulnerability are determined by the complex interplay between biological, genetic, and environmental conditions. Conclusions: There are fundamental principles of optimal child development that apply to all human beings, regardless of language and culture.

  • Meeting the child's physical, psychological, and social needs is a key element to support optimal brain development, emotional regulation, and higher order cognitive function, with long-lasting health benefits.

    “Meeting the child’s physical (i.e. healthy nutrition), psychological (i.e. stable and responsive attachment relationships), and social (i.e. supportive and safe environments) needs is key element to support optimal brain development, emotional regulation, and higher order cognitive function, with long-lasting health benefits [30]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
