Hyperactive boys between 6 and 8 years of age, identified through systematic population-based screening of a community in London, were compared prospectively with a nonhyperactive control group to determine whether they were at greater risk of sustaining injuries. The study sample was drawn from 1296 completed parent and teacher questionnaires. Hyperactive groups were designated in three ways (parental report, teacher report, and combined parent and teacher report). Injuries were assessed by reviewing the medical records of the five emergency departments serving the community. Although boys with conduct problems did sustain more injuries than control subjects, no relationship between hyperactivity and injury was found. Similarly, when milder injuries were excluded from the analysis, the association remained negative. The absence of an association could not be accounted for by differential parental protectiveness of boys designated hyperactive. This study, which has a power of .80 to determine an increase in the relative risk of injury of 1.5, found no effect for hyperactive behavior in boys. Hyperactive behavior is probably not a risk factor for injury; if it is, it exerts a modest effect, less than 1.5, therefore accounting for less than 4% of injuries to school-aged boys.

The aim of this study was to explore the experience of parents whose children are in active treatment for various types of cancer. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 parents. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, five themes were derived: a) response to the diagnosis, b) parental “navigating” through the new life situation, c) “being in the hospital”, d) sources of additional “burden”, and e) those who made the process of treatment easier. The majority of parents used active coping strategies; for example, they tried to mobilise existing resources, focused on the present and lived a “day-by-day” kind of life. As aggravating circumstances of treatment, they noted inadequate physical conditions, increased costs of living, inadequate support of family members and a prejudicial environment. During the process of medical treatment, parents found the following factors helpful: child's strength, other parents’ support, community members, and the expertise of medical staff. This paper emphasises the complexities and importance of understanding parenting processes that can operate throughout the disease trajectory for families experiencing paediatric cancer. The findings on the experience of parents gives increasing insight into difficulties but also into parental protectiveness, which can contribute to defining the interventions for strengthening their parental role.

Many patients with the defects discussed here are under continuing postoperative observation by the cardiologist, and that is as it should be. This is particularly likely to be the case with tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries. Some patients, however, are returned from distant cardiac centers, and the services of another cardiologist may not be readily available. Even if available, the cardiologist depends on the patient's local physician to detect early signs of trouble. Also, the family generally has a warmer relationship with the primary physician and looks to him for guidance and counsel. This assumes particular importance when one considers the high incidence of psychologic problems that tend to occur in children who have been subjected to cardiac surgery.63 These psychologic disturbances are attributed to such things as inability to compete physically, hospitalizations, family anxiety, and parental protectiveness or pampering. Most patients who have experienced cardiac surgery should be reevaluated periodically, preferably by an experienced cardiologist. Of all the lesions discussed here, patent ductus arteriosus has the best long-term prognosis. With this lesion, once the electrocardiogram and roentgenogram have returned to normal, it probably is no longer necessary to reevaluate the patient from a cardiac standpoint unless there is a change in the murmur or a new one appears. With all the other lesions, continued cardiac reevaluation is recommended, the exact interval to be determined by the age of the patient, the postoperative course, and the time elapsed from the date of operation. During periods of stress, such as pregnancy and later adult life, closer observation may be necessary.

While much has been written about the relationship between only child status and parents’ behavior toward children, and consequent personality and intelligence, little is known about the relationship between only child status, parental response to illness, and subsequent child illness behavior. In this study, 227 mothers of 342 children completed measures designed to assess: (a) their children’s school attendance, (b) their own psychological status, and (c) their own responses to their children’s expressions of stomach pain. Parents of only children were more likely to minimize their children’s gastrointestinal symptoms than were parents of children with at least one sibling. In addition, only children were less likely to miss school. Parental protectiveness did not differ as a function of only child status. These findings are somewhat discrepant with commonly held beliefs about parents’ patterns of responding to only children.
