Download Young Family Level [UPDATED]

After a couple of months with my iRobot 614 I typed up all my thoughts for friends and family to read, and thought people in differently-laid-out houses than Myke and Grey's flats might be interested. Here you go. For context, I'm a stay at home parent.

My cheap model really does prefer one room at a time, as rectangular as possible, much better than sending it out to roam across a whole level of the house. Even in my totally cleared living room dining room space when the rug was put away, it missed the area under the bay-style window because it assumed the wall was straight across there instead of having an alcove.

(ps - re: the young-family part, I'm totally going to start a thread about Parents of Cortex when I have some more time next month. I imagine I'm not the only one who gets a lot of tangential, relatable ideas from Cortex even though my life is like the complete inverse of Myke and Grey's (but my brain is a lot like Grey's))

This chapter addresses how child-, family-, and school-level characteristics are associated with Chinese children's academic skill development during their preschool years. Academic skills are defined in terms of young children's emergent competencies in academic domains including literacy, mathematics, and science. First, we review the relations of young Chinese children's cognition (language, visuospatial, and executive functioning), behavior (social behavior and behavioral regulation), and affect (interest and attitude) to their performance in these academic domains. Second, we review the roles of familial variables, including family socioeconomic status and broad and specific aspects of parenting practices and parental involvement. Third, we review school- and classroom-level factors, with a special emphasis on preschool and classroom quality that is particularly relevant to young Chinese children's academic skills. We discuss the educational implications of these study findings and identify methodological limitations that may threaten their internal and external validity. Our aim is to bring attention to the growing body of research on young Chinese children's academic skill development and to highlight several areas that need further research.

To be eligible for either Children's Medicaid or Child Health Plus, children must be under the age of 19 and be residents of New York State. Whether a child qualifies for Children's Medicaid or Child Health Plus depends on gross family income. Children who are not eligible for Medicaid can enroll in Child Health Plus if they don't already have health insurance and are not eligible for coverage under the public employees' state health benefits plan. Check the following income charts to see whether your child qualifies for Child Health Plus or Children's Medicaid.

There is no monthly premium for families whose income is less than 2.2 times the poverty level. That's about $1150 a week for a three-person family, about $1387 a week for a family of four. Families with somewhat higher incomes pay a monthly premium of $15, $30, $45, or $60 per child per month, depending on their income and family size. For larger families, the monthly fee is capped at three children. If the family's income is more than 4 times the poverty level, they pay the full monthly premium charged by the health plan. There are no co-payments for services under Child Health Plus, so you don't have to pay anything when your child receives care through these plans.

Anemia, defined as a hemoglobin level two standard deviations below the mean for age, is prevalent in infants and children worldwide. The evaluation of a child with anemia should begin with a thorough history and risk assessment. Characterizing the anemia as microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic based on the mean corpuscular volume will aid in the workup and management. Microcytic anemia due to iron deficiency is the most common type of anemia in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend routine screening for anemia at 12 months of age; the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found insufficient evidence to assess the benefits vs. harms of screening. Iron deficiency anemia, which can be associated with cognitive issues, is prevented and treated with iron supplements or increased intake of dietary iron. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found insufficient evidence to recommend screening or treating pregnant women for iron deficiency anemia to improve maternal or neonatal outcomes. Delayed cord clamping can improve iron status in infancy, especially for at-risk populations, such as those who are preterm or small for gestational age. Normocytic anemia may be caused by congenital membranopathies, hemoglobinopathies, enzymopathies, metabolic defects, and immune-mediated destruction. An initial reticulocyte count is needed to determine bone marrow function. Macrocytic anemia, which is uncommon in children, warrants subsequent evaluation for vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies, hypothyroidism, hepatic disease, and bone marrow disorders.

Worldwide, anemia affects up to one-half of children younger than five years.1 Anemia is defined as a hemoglobin level that is two standard deviations below the mean for age.2,3 After children reach 12 years of age, the hemoglobin norm can be further divided into gender-specific ranges.3 Table 1 lists age-based hemoglobin levels.3,4 Anemia can be categorized as microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic. Microcytic iron deficiency anemia is a common cause of childhood anemia, whereas macrocytic anemia is rare in children. Table 2 summarizes the causes of anemia.3,5

Most infants and children with mild anemia do not exhibit overt clinical signs and symptoms. Initial evaluation should include a thorough history, such as questions to determine prematurity, low birth weight, diet, chronic diseases, family history of anemia, and ethnic background. A complete blood count is the most common initial diagnostic test used to evaluate for anemia, and it allows for differentiating microcytic, normocytic, and macrocytic anemia based on the mean corpuscular volume. Figure 1 is an algorithm for the evaluation of children with low hemoglobin levels.5

Microcytic anemia due to iron deficiency is the most common type of anemia in children. The U.S. prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in children one to five years of age is estimated to be 1% to 2%.10 A child with microcytic anemia and a history of poor dietary iron intake should receive a trial of iron supplementation and dietary counseling. Iron deficiency anemia is likely if the hemoglobin level increases by more than 1.0 g per dL (10 g per L) after one month of presumptive treatment.

During Pregnancy and Delivery. Up to 42% of pregnant women worldwide will have anemia, with a prevalence of 6% in North America.1 The iron requirement increases with each trimester and should be supported by higher maternal iron intake.14 Between 60% and 80% of the iron storage in a newborn occurs during the third trimester,2,14 but it is unclear whether treatment of maternal anemia prevents anemia in newborns and infants. The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to recommend screening for or treating iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women to improve maternal or neonatal outcomes.15 Although two Cochrane reviews found that maternal hemoglobin levels improve with antepartum iron supplementation, studies have not demonstrated statistically significant benefits in clinical outcomes (e.g., low birth weight, preterm birth, infection, postpartum hemorrhage) for mothers or newborns.16,17

Delayed umbilical cord clamping (approximately 120 to 180 seconds after delivery) is associated with improved iron status (ferritin levels) at two to six months of age.18,19 This benefit may be especially important in those vulnerable to iron deficiency, such as infants who were premature or small for gestational age. A Cochrane review looking at the effects of the timing of cord clamping during preterm births showed a reduction of blood transfusions when clamping was delayed (24% vs. 36%).20 The effects of delayed cord clamping do not appear to persist beyond the first 12 months.21

A landmark study of Costa Rican children concluded that iron deficiency anemia increases the risk of long-lasting developmental disadvantages.30 However, whether iron supplementation can affect psychomotor development or cognitive function in children is unclear. A Cochrane review concluded that there is no evidence that iron supplementation improves psychomotor or cognitive development in young children with iron deficiency anemia after 30 days of treatment.31 Furthermore, a systematic review showed that iron supplementation in children who were iron deficient but nonanemic did not positively influence developmental scores at one to five years of age.32 Thus, screening for iron deficiency in nonanemic infants is not recommended.1,2 A recent systematic review for the USPSTF found no studies showing an association between iron supplementation and clinical outcomes in a population relevant to the United States.33

The evaluation of macrocytic anemia in children (Figure 3) begins with examination of a peripheral blood smear for hypersegmented neutrophils, which indicate megaloblastic anemia.5 If megaloblastic anemia is shown, folate and vitamin B12 measurements are indicated. Low vitamin B12 levels may be nutrition/absorption related or congenital and have neurologic consequences, ranging from growth retardation to seizure disorders.40 Clinicians should have a low threshold to refer these patients to a pediatric hematologist. Nonmegaloblastic causes of macrocytic anemia in children include hemolysis, hemorrhage, bone marrow disorders, hypothyroidism, and hepatic disease. 2351a5e196
