This research enables the design of a pop-up storybook about cooperating while learning and about social skills. This pop-up storybook is made to remind the importance of cooperation for children age 4-6. The research is made because of the decline in cooperation among children which is the result of lack of social interaction, development in technology, and parenting issues. The research covers data collected about children age 4-6, interviews with child psychologists, literature study, dan direct observation. Data results were then processed to build story, visual, and paper engineering techniques. Keywords: storybook, pop-up, social skills, cooperation, children

Second Stage

This study examined how well private-practice pediatricians can identify emotional/behavioral problems among preschool children. Children aged 2 through 5 (N = 3876) were screened during a visit to 1 of 68 pediatricians who rendered an opinion about the presence of emotional/behavioral problems. Subsequently, children who scored above the 90th percentile for behavioral problems on the Child Behavior Checklist, along with children matched on age, sex, and race who had screened low, were invited for an intensive second-stage evaluation. There were 495 mothers and children who participated in that evaluation, which included a behavioral questionnaire, maternal interview, play observation, and developmental testing. Two PhD-level clinical child psychologists rendered independent opinions about the presence of an emotional/behavioral disorder. The psychologists identified significantly higher rates of problems overall—13.0% when the criterion was independent agreement that the child had an emotional/behavioral problem and a regular psychiatric diagnosis was assigned, vs 8.7% based on pediatricians' ratings. Prevalence rates based on psychologists' independent ratings were significantly higher than pediatricians' for both sexes, 4- through 5-year-olds, and whites, but not for 2- through 3-year-olds, African-Americans, and all minorities. Prevalence rates based on psychologists' ratings were significantly higher than the pediatricians' for all subgroups when V-code diagnoses were included in the psychologists' ratings. Overall, pediatricians' sensitivity was 20.5%, and specificity was 92.7%. At least 51.7% of the children who had an emotional/behavioral problem based on the psychologist's independent agreement had not received counseling, medication, or a mental health referral from the pediatrician. It is concluded that a substantial number of preschool children with behavior problems in primary care are not being identified or treated.

The Individual

The practice of good medical ethics is of particular importance in cases of juvenile maltreatment. In a number of court cases concerning battered children doctors' statements have been presented to the effect that maltreatment has not taken place. In twelve cases reported during the period 1971–75 the doctors' statement was misleading. In each of twelve cases it should have been the doctor's duty to record in his statement that this was a case of child abuse and/or neglect. It appears that as far as the individual doctor was concerned, he often stated “these things should be dealt with by the child welfare authorities”, who in their turn merely referred to the doctor's statement. “It is unlikely that this is maltreatment”, the child welfare officer will reiterate. In six cases this statement was used in court before any evaluation had been made on the basis of the sequence of events. In all twelve cases the doctor had failed to make an adequate examination of the symptoms. It seems as if the doctor was not sufficiently interested in providing evidence of assault. In some cases, even, pathognomonic findings must have been kept secret. Psychological or emotional maltreatment need to be evaluated by a child psychologist who is a practical diagnostician. Injuries arising from physical abuse are most successfully diagnosed on surgical and casualty wards. Pediatricians must be cautious about dismissing diagnoses of maltreatment that have been established by other specialists, especially child psychologists.
