Sensitive parenting can boost premature children's school performance

Sensitive parenting can boost premature children's school performance

Sensitive parenting helps protect against the negative effects of being born prematurely on children's school success, a new study has found.

Children born prematurely are at risk of a variety of neurological impairments which can mean they are more likely to need special educational support when they reach school age.

But a new study led by the University of Warwick shows that parents of very preterm and very low birthweight (VP/VLBW) children can increase their child's academic achievement through sensitive and cognitively stimulating parenting.

Researchers looked at parenting styles of parents of children aged 6 to see what effect they had on those children's school success when they reached the age of 13.

The study found that highly sensitive parenting at age 6 boosted the academic performance of VP/VLBW children when they reached 13 to levels similar to full-term children. A parallel increase was not seen for full-term children.

However, the results also showed that more cognitively stimulating early home environments benefit all children's long-term school success, regardless of whether they were premature or not.

Professor Dieter Wolke of University of Warwick said: "By sensitive parenting, we mean adapting one's parenting to the individual child's behaviour and responses, while clearly remaining the more competent partner and setting age appropriate limits."

"So for example providing gentle feedback and suggesting potential solutions rather than taking over and solving the tasks for the child.

"Cognitively stimulating parenting is where parents include activities designed to get children thinking such as reading to them or doing puzzles together.

"We found that both these styles of parenting have a positive effect in increasing school performance, with sensitive parenting particularly effective at closing the gap in achievement between preterm and low birth-weight children and their full-term counterparts."

The study, Effects of Sensitive Parenting on the Academic Resilience of Very Preterm and Very Low Birth Weight Adolescents was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

The researchers sought to clear up uncertainty among the scientific community about whether parenting has an influence on academic achievement of preterm children.

They looked at two groups of German children - 314 very preterm/very low birth weight children and a control group of 338 full-term children.

They were studied from birth to age 13, with the researchers analysing socioeconomic status, neurological and physical impairment at age 20 months and levels of parental sensitive and cognitive stimulation at age 6 years. School success was measured from six to 13 years of age.

The study defined very preterm as babies born at less than 32 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1500g (3lb 5 oz).

The researchers found that the 15 per cent of highly sensitive parents within the VP/VLBW group had children whose academic performance at 13 years was similar to the full-term children.

In contrast, parents of VP/VLBW children who showed low sensitivity had children who required more special educational help and had more schooling problems.

Maternal sensitivity made little difference to the grades or academic performance of full-term children, who were much less susceptible to parenting differences.

The research found that cognitively stimulating parenting raised academic performance across both groups of children.

Professor Wolke said: "The results suggest that sensitive parenting boosts children's self-control and attention regulation, which are important for school success.

"We would like to see increased investment in programmes that equip parents of VP/VLBW with the skills needed to provide appropriate and sensitive support to their children."

Why shopaholics overspend? Poor credit management, buying to boost mood, study says

Why do shopping addicts keep spending even in the face of harmful financial, emotional and social consequences? A new study suggests poor credit management and a belief that new purchases will create a happier life fuel compulsive buying.

Approximately 10 percent of adults in Western countries are believed to have a compulsive spending disorder that leads them to lose control over their buying behavior, and the trend is on the rise. These shopaholics are addicted to buying things, regardless of whether they want or need them.

In a new study due to be published in the Journal of Economic Psychology, San Francisco State University researchers have identified specific behaviors that lead to such compulsive buying.

"Compulsive shoppers tend to be people who bury their head in the sand and ignore the credit card bill," said Ryan Howell, associate professor of psychology at SF State. "We also found that these individuals keep on buying because they are looking for that 'buy high,' hoping their purchases will lift their mood and transform them as a person."

"A lot of research has shown that shopaholics tend to have materialistic values," Howell said. "Our results explain why materialistic people shop compulsively."

Howell and colleagues surveyed more than 1,600 participants who answered questions about their money management, shopping habits and how much they value material possessions.

The researchers' analysis found that lack of money management predicted individuals' compulsive spending, regardless of their personality, gender, age and income. In particular, out-of-control-shopping was primarily driven by poor credit management, such as not paying attention to credit card statements, not paying credit card bills on time and exceeding credit limits.

The authors suggest that one possible reason why credit cards may facilitate compulsive shopping is because they allow consumers to separate the pleasure of buying from the pain of paying.

In the study, compulsive shoppers reported that they bought items to get a buzz or put themselves in a better mood. They also believed the purchases could change their life, for example by transforming their appearance, self-confidence, reputation and relationships.

"We know that a person's values impact their shopping habits, but values aren't the easiest thing to change" Howell said. "Even if you are still materialistic and you have the desire to acquire more possessions, it's how you manage your behavior that counts. Our findings suggest that you can keep your shopping under control by paying attention to your credit card and checking in with yourself about whether you are shopping for emotional reasons."

Howell and his graduate students continue to study compulsive buying and other consumer habits through their Beyond the Purchase website at http://www.beyondthepurchase.org. On the site, members of the public can take free surveys to find out what kind of consumer they are and how their spending choices affect them.

"Sadness, Identity, and Plastic in Over-shopping: The Interplay of Materialism, Poor Credit Management, and Emotional Buying Motives in Predicting Compulsive Buying," has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Economic Psychology. Howell co-authored the paper with former SF State graduate student Grant Donnelly and undergraduate student Masha Ksendzova.

Bone healing turbo boost offered by 'magic metal'

Bone healing turbo boost offered by 'magic metal'
An unusual "nanowire" coating for medical implants may soon be helping broken bones and joint replacements to heal faster.

Ohio State University reports that research engineers there have found that bone cells grow and reproduce almost twice as fast on a textured surface made of metal oxide wires, each tens of thousands of times thinner than a human hair.

The engineers have developed an affordable technique for creating these wires, which they describe in a paper in the current issue of the journal Ceramics International. The research suggests that the coating could help healthy bone form a strong bond with a metal implant.

The Ohio State University team call their process "Nanostructures by material design."

Sheikh Akbar, professor of materials science and engineering at Ohio State, explains:

"What's really exciting about this technique is that we don't have to carve the nanowires from a solid piece of metal or alloy.

We can grow them from scratch, by exploiting the physics and chemistry of the materials."

Co-advised by Suliman Dregia, associate professor of materials science and engineering, Prof. Sheikh Akbar's team has been able to grow the wires by tailoring the mix of materials and gases inside a furnace.

At temperatures around 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit, fine filaments of titanium dioxide rose from a smooth titanium surface.

The rise of the fine filaments was expected, but what happened next was not. Each wire began to wrap a protective coating of aluminum oxide around itself - like a layer of bark around a tree trunk. This would have made sense if the scientists had been working with a titanium alloy that contained aluminum. But they were working with pure titanium, so it is not clear how this aluminum coating formed.

"It's strange that we don't completely understand why this process works the way it does. We're going to have to do some fancy microscopy to figure it out, but we do know that the wires only form under just the right conditions," Prof. Sheikh Akbar said.

In tests, the researchers grew bone cancer cells on three different surfaces: smooth titanium, smooth titanium dioxide, and the nanowire carpet. They chose cancer cells because they are particularly hardy, and also reproduce in the same way healthy bone cells do.

The biggest difference in cell growth occurred within the first 15 hours of testing, when researchers measured a 20% higher concentration of the bone-growth enzyme alkaline phosphatase in the cells growing on the nanowires. By the end of the study, there were around 90,000 cells per square centimeter on the nanowire surface - 80% higher density than on the other two surfaces.

Study co-author Derek Hansford, associate professor of biomedical engineering and materials science and engineering, said that the coating could aid people who have hip and knee replacements, dental implants, or broken bones that require screws and plates for repair.

Derek Hansford said:

"Our hope is that this surface treatment will become a simple-to-implement modification to titanium implants to help them form a stronger interface with surrounding bone tissue.

A stronger interface means that implants and bones will be better able to share mechanical loads, and we can better preserve healthy bone and soft tissue around the implant site."

Prof. Sheikh Akbar believes that the price is right for commercial development. Around $100 worth of metal foil provides enough material to make hundreds of samples. The method could hardly be simpler - set the right mix of materials and gases in a laboratory furnace, press the 'On' button, sit back and wait.

"Seriously, if you spent the day in my lab, you could learn how to do it yourself," Prof. Sheikh Akbar said.

His team are now exploring other material and gas combinations to make different nano-sized shapes for cell growth and chemical sensing in a program partially funded by the US National Science Foundation.

Health Tips & Info : 5 Ways to Boost Your Energy Levels.

Energy is essential in this sleep-deprived, high-speed, modern world. Here are 5 simple ways to recharge your batteries and increase productivity and energy levels. If your energy reserves are running low, consider implementing a few of these recommendations over the next few weeks and see how you feel:Getting the right amount of sleep at the right times is critical to staying energized during the day. Eliminate as much light as possible from your bedroom as light interferes with the body’s circadian rhythm thereby interfering with sleep. Avoid napping during the day especially in the late afternoon.2. Get your body moving – exercise.Implement at least 20 minutes of cardio exercise at least 4 times a week. By expending energy on a regular basis, you actually boost your energy levels. Do it regularly but do not push yourself to the point of exhaustion.Evaluate your to-do lists and list down your priorities. Get rid of the less important items. Schedule leisure time for yourself. Stress from any source is an energy zapper, and will have an adverse impact on your general health.4. Eat small but frequent meals.By maintaining a steady supply of nutrients to your body, you increase your long-term energy levels. Incorporate proteins, wholegrains, high-fibre vegetables and nuts into your diet to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. Also, make sure your bigger meals are in the middle of the day rather than at night.5. Cut out energy zappers from your diet.Fluctuations in blood sugar can cause plummeting energy levels. Decrease or cut out refined sugars from your diet. Caffeine intake should also be limited to the mornings. Overuse of caffeine especially in the afternoons will lower energy levels after they give you an initial kick.
