Uveitis following COVID-19 vaccination in the pediatric population: Experience at a tertiary referral hospital.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and outcomes of uveitis following coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination in the pediatric population. METHODS: A case series of all patients under the age of 18years diagnosed with uveitis within 28days of COVID-19 vaccination. RESULTS: Out of 33 patients under the age of 18years who presented with uveitis from July 2021 until May 2022, eight (24.2%) developed uveitis following COVID-19 vaccination within 28days. Four had a previous history of uveitis. The mean time interval from COVID-19 vaccination to uveitis diagnosis was 14.75days. The most common anatomic diagnosis was anterior uveitis in four children, followed by panuveitis in two and posterior uveitis in two. Seven children were treated with systemic steroids/immunomodulatory agents. Improved or unaffected visual acuity was noted in all children at the final follow-up. CONCLUSION: The pediatric population may demonstrate uveitis following COVID-19 vaccination. All children were treated successfully, and good final visual acuity was achieved.

Le développement sain de l'enfant par le jeu risqué extérieur : un équilibre à trouver avec la prévention des blessures.

Le jeu libre est essentiel pour le développement de l'enfant, de même que pour sa santé physique, mentale et sociale. Les occasions de se livrer au jeu libre extérieur, et au jeu risqué en particulier, ont considérablement diminué ces dernières années, en partie parce que les mesures de sécurité ont visé à prévenir toutes les blessures liées aux jeux plutôt que seulement les blessures graves et fatales. Le jeu risqué désigne des formes passionnantes et stimulantes de jeu libre dont l'issue est incertaine et qui comportent une possibilité de blessure physique. Les promoteurs du jeu risqué distinguent le « risque ¼ du « danger ¼ et aspirent à recadrer la perception du risque pour qu'il devienne une occasion d'évaluer une situation et de favoriser le développement personnel. Dans le présent document de principes, les auteures soupèsent le fardeau des blessures liées au jeu par rapport aux données probantes en appui au jeu risqué, notamment les avantages, les risques et les nuances, qui peuvent varier en fonction de l'étape de développement de l'enfant, de ses aptitudes et du contexte social et médical. Elles proposent des approches pour promouvoir des échanges ouverts et constructifs avec les familles et les organisations. Les pédiatres sont invités à percevoir le jeu risqué extérieur comme un moyen de contribuer à prévenir et à gérer des problèmes de santé courants tels que l'obésité, l'anxiété et les problèmes de comportement.

CELEBRATE Feeding: A Responsive Approach to Food and Feeding in Early Learning Settings.

Early learning and child care (ELCC) settings in Canada follow nutrition standards that outline food provisions, with many also encouraging responsive feeding practices that help to create a supportive environment for children. Caregivers who lack confidence in children's ability to regulate their own intake, or those who feel stressed about mealtime, may unknowingly engage in less responsive feeding practices. The CELEBRATE Feeding Approach is a flexible framework, driven by behaviour change theory, that builds on previous definitions and concepts of responsive feeding in ELCC environments. Through this approach, there is an intentional focus on supporting early childhood educators to implement feeding practices that are more responsive. The approach incorporates 13 target educator behaviours related to the three overlapping categories of CELEBRATE language, CELEBRATE Mealtime, and CELEBRATE Play. These practices recognize and support the development of a child's sense of autonomy, confidence, and self-regulation not only at mealtimes but also through play-based exploration and language that is used throughout the day around food and feeding. The goal is that children will be open to a wide variety of food, develop their self-regulation skills, and build the foundation for a positive relationship with food throughout their lifetime.

Savoir détecter l'exposition des enfants à la violence entre partenaires intimes, qu'elle soit présumée ou divulguée, et savoir intervenir.

L'exposition des enfants à la violence entre partenaires intimes (EEVPI), qu'il s'agisse des parents ou d'autres proches, représente près de la moitié de tous les cas qui font l'objet d'une enquête et sont corroborés par les services de protection de l'enfance du Canada. Les atteintes affectives, physiques et comportementales associées à l'EEVPI sont semblables aux effets d'autres formes de maltraitance envers les enfants. Il peut être difficile d'établir quels enfants et adolescents sont exposés à la violence entre partenaires intimes (VPI) en raison des comportements non spécifiques parfois associés à une telle exposition, de même que de la stigmatisation et du secret entourant souvent ce type de violence. Par ailleurs, une intervention en toute sécurité auprès des enfants et des adolescents chez qui on présume une exposition à la VPI peut être compliquée par la nécessité d'également tenir compte de la sécurité et du bien-être d'un proche non contrevenant. Le présent document de principes propose une approche fondée sur des données probantes mise au point par le projet VEGA (Violence, Evidence, Guidance, Action ou violence, données probantes, conseils, action) pour détecter l'exposition des enfants et des adolescents à la VPI et intervenir en toute sécurité auprès d'eux.

Dietary Sugar and Anthropometrics among Young Children in the Guelph Family Health Study: Longitudinal Associations.

Purpose: Our understanding of the influence of sugar intake on anthropometrics among young children is limited. Most existing research is cross-sectional and has focused on sugar-sweetened beverages. The study objective was to investigate longitudinal associations between young children's total, free, and added sugar intake from all food sources at baseline with anthropometric measures at baseline and 18 months.Methods: The Guelph Family Health Study (GFHS) is an ongoing randomized controlled trial and a family-based health promotion study. Food records and anthropometric data were collected at baseline (n = 109, 55 males; 3.7 ± 1.1 y, mean ± SD) and 18 months (n = 109, 55 males; 5.1 ± 1.1 y) of the GFHS pilots. Associations between sugar intakes and anthropometrics were estimated using linear regression models with generalized estimating equations adjusted for age, sex, household income, and intervention status.Results: Total sugar intake was inversely associated with body weight at 18 months (P = 0.01). There was no effect of time on any other associations between total, free, and added sugar intakes and anthropometrics.Conclusions: Early life dietary sugar intakes may not relate to anthropometric measures in the short term. Further investigation into potential associations between dietary sugar intakes and anthropometric variables over longer time periods is warranted.

Les données probantes et les recommandations sur le cannabis à des fins médicales chez les enfants.

L'intérêt envers l'utilisation des produits du cannabis à des fins médicales chez les enfants de moins de 18 ans augmente. De nombreux produits du cannabis à des fins médicales contiennent du cannabidiol, du delta-9-tétrahydrocannabinol ou ces deux produits. Malgré les nombreuses prétentions thérapeutiques, peu d'études rigoureuses guident la posologie, l'innocuité et l'efficacité du cannabis à des fins médicales en pédiatrie clinique. Le présent document de principes passe en revue les données probantes à jour et expose les recommandations sur l'utilisation du cannabis à des fins médicales chez les enfants. Les rapports à plus long terme (deux ans) souscrivent à la tolérabilité et à l'efficacité soutenues d'un traitement au cannabidiol chez les patients ayant le syndrome de Lennox-Gastaut ou le syndrome de Dravet. Les extraits de cannabis enrichis de cannabidiol qui renferment de petites quantités de delta-9-tétrahydrocannabinol ont été évalués auprès d'un petit nombre de patients d'âge pédiatrique, et d'autres recherches devront être réalisées pour éclairer les guides de pratique clinique. Étant donné l'utilisation répandue du cannabis à des fins médicales au Canada, les pédiatres devraient être prêts à participer à des échanges ouverts et continus avec les familles au sujet de ses avantages potentiels et de ses risques, ainsi qu'à préparer des plans individuels en vue d'en surveiller l'efficacité, de réduire les méfaits et de limiter les interactions médicamenteuses.

The impact of Internet pornography on children and adolescents: A systematic review.

OBJECTIVES: Young people's exposure to online pornographic material has increased in the past years. Its impact is a complex topic but an important issue due to growing concerns. Therefore, we reviewed the literature on Internet pornography consumption and its impact on children and adolescents. Furthermore, we examined young people's thoughts about pornography and their reasons for consumption. METHOD: We performed a systematic literature search in the online databases ERIC, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and PSYNDEX for peer-reviewed articles in English, published between 2000 and 2022 and additionally identified secondary references. RESULTS: We could determine associations between pornography consumption and demographic variables (e.g., age, gender), personal characteristics (e.g., [sexual] sensation seeking, sexual interest and experience, general risk behavior), environmental variables (e.g., peers, family), attitudes (e.g., gender role attitudes, permissive sexual attitudes), behavior (e.g. sexual risk behaviour, sexting) and sexual aggression (e.g., sexual cybervictimization, grooming). Moreover, we found that girls have a more negative attitude towards pornography than boys who have an ambivalent opinion on the subject. Most adolescents are aware that the majority of pornographic material is exaggerated and unrealistic. Furthermore, pornography is not only watched out of curiosity and for sexual arousal but also used as a source of sexual information, especially by minority groups. DISCUSSION: Many effects that impair children's development have been documented. The results found in this review are often contradictory. Therefore, further replication studies are needed. In addition, we propose several preventive measures, e.g., sexual health education at schools for both heterosexuals and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) people.

Link between neurodevelopmental disorders and suicidal risk in children.

INTRODUCTION: Suicide represents a significant public health issue among children and adolescents. However, in this population, while the literature seems to support a link between suicidal risk and neurodevelopmental disorders, there are still few studies on the subject. The psychopathological description of children who have realized a suicide attempt with a high potential for lethality, which can be defined as "serious", appears to resemble that of children who have died by suicide. This study aimed to characterize the dimensional aspects of the neurodevelopmental profile of a population of children and adolescents hospitalized at Necker-Enfants-Malades Hospital for a serious suicide attempt. METHODS: This is an observational, prospective, and single-center study. Questionnaires for collecting general information and dimensional scales of neurodevelopment (Autism-Tics, ADHD, and Other Comorbidities Inventory, Social Responsiveness Scale, and Conners-3 for parents) were used. This study included 21 patients aged 9 to 15 years at the time of their hospitalization. RESULTS: The results supported the presence of at least one neurodevelopmental disorder (autistic traits, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning disorder, or motor disorder) in 70% (n=14) of the subjects, and at least one behavioral disorder (oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder) in 65% (n=13) of these subjects. CONCLUSION: The observed frequency of traits indicative of neurodevelopmental disorders in our population was higher than that observed in the general population, without the presented symptoms being eligible for categorical diagnosis. Considering the dimensional aspects of neurodevelopmental symptoms would therefore enable better identification of children at suicidal risk and more tailored interventions to contribute to the prevention of suicide in children.

L'accès à des services d'interprétation appropriés, essentiel pour la santé des enfants.

Puisque 20 % des Canadiens déclarent avoir une autre langue maternelle que le français ou l'anglais, il n'est pas rare que les professionnels de la santé et les patients maîtrisent des langues différentes. Lorsqu'un médecin et son patient ne peuvent pas communiquer correctement, ils courent le risque de mal se comprendre, ce qui peut se solder par de mauvais résultats cliniques et une réadmission hospitalière. Les services d'interprétation professionnels sont associés à une amélioration de la communication, de l'utilisation des soins, des résultats cliniques et de la satisfaction envers les soins. Il est démontré que le recours à des interprètes non formés ou improvisés, y compris les membres de la famille, accroît les erreurs d'omission, les substitutions, les modifications volontaires et les ajouts. Les enfants et les adolescents n'ont pas acquis une maturité développementale suffisante pour agir en qualité d'interprètes dans le milieu de la santé. Dans un tel contexte, ils sont mis dans une situation inappropriée avec laquelle il peut être difficile de composer et qui peut compromettre durablement à la fois leur propre santé mentale et leur relation avec les autres membres de la famille.

Prevalence of prolonged grief disorder in bereaved children and adolescents: A systematic review.

PURPOSE: Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is a condition recently introduced in international classifications of mental disorders. Although PGD is associated with significant distress and impairment that may have developmental consequences, to date, little is known about its prevalence and associated factors in children and adolescents. The present systematic review registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021236026) aimed to: (i) review existing data on the prevalence of PGD in bereaved children and adolescents; and (ii) identify factors associated with PGD in this population. METHODS: Six electronic databases, grey literature and a manually searched journal identified 1,716 articles with no backward limit to September 2021. Epidemiological studies were included if they reported the prevalence of PGD in bereaved children and adolescents. Study characteristics, diagnostic and assessment tools, population, loss-related characteristics and prevalence of PGD were reviewed. RESULTS: Five studies met our inclusion criteria. The reported prevalences of PGD ranged from 10.4% to 32%. Female gender, cognitive avoidance, chronic stressors such as economic hardship, exposure to trauma or other losses appear to be associated with more severe symptoms or even a higher risk of PGD. Conversely, data suggest social support may be protective. CONCLUSION: This first systematic review found a relatively high prevalence of PGD in bereaved children and adolescents. While further large epidemiological studies are needed, this review highlights the importance of evaluating PGD in current clinical practice and suggests that further research into diagnostic and therapeutic approaches targeting this disorder is warranted.

Transitioning to a Plant-Based Menu in Childcare: Identifying the Nutritional, Financial, and Logistical Considerations.

International health organizations have called for a shift towards more plant-based foods as a way of promoting both individual health and environmental sustainability. Given the high percentage of children in Canada who attend childcare and the high volume of food provided in childcare, transitioning menus to incorporate plant-based foods could have important implications for both planetary and child health. The purpose of this case study is to describe a childcare centre's transition to a plant-based menu. A detailed nutritional analysis of the menu was conducted. The financial and logistical implications of the transitions to a plant-based menu were also assessed. Nutritional analysis revealed that the plant-based menu met or exceeded the daily nutrient requirement for all the key nutrients explored. Financially, the transition led to a 9% reduction in food costs. Logistically, the transition led to improved efficiency and safety with regard to food preparation, with substantially fewer tailored meals due to allergies and dietary restrictions required after the transition. These novel findings are relevant for food service administrators interested in transitioning to a plant-based menu as well as public health dietitians who could support the transition.

Parental Cooking Confidence is Associated with Children's Intake of Fish and Seafood.

Purpose: Fish and seafood consumption by North American children is low. This is concerning, given the critical role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid), found in fish and seafood, in early development. This study aimed to determine whether parental factors related to fish and seafood consumption are associated with frequency of fish and seafood consumption in Canadian children.Methods: A subgroup of parents (n = 28) participating in the Guelph Family Health Study Pilot reported their perceptions and history of fish and seafood consumption, confidence in preparing fish and seafood dishes, and the frequency of intake for their children (n = 40).Results: This study found that 20% of children consumed one serving of saltwater fish, freshwater fish, or shellfish weekly and 63% consumed at least one type of fish or seafood monthly. Parental cooking confidence preparing fish and seafood was positively associated with at least monthly fish and seafood intake in children.Conclusions: These findings suggest that some children may have low intakes of fish and seafood due to a lack of parental cooking confidence when preparing fish and seafood dishes. Therefore, future research and interventions focused on addressing this barrier may aid in improving fish and seafood intake.

Exploring Therapeutic Relationships in Pediatric Occupational Therapy: A Meta-Ethnography.

Background. Developing strong therapeutic relationships with families is a crucial aspect of pediatric occupational therapy. However, building such relationships is complex as they involve multiple directions of interaction. Purpose. To provide a thorough interpretation of children's, caregivers', and occupational therapists' experience of the therapeutic relationship. Method. A meta-ethnography was realized to synthesize qualitative studies. A systematic search was carried out using five databases from 2005 to 2022. The CAPS checklist was used to appraise included studies' quality. The analysis was completed using a constant comparison of findings. Findings. Three themes emerged from the 14 studies synthesized. The first theme illustrates that the therapeutic relationship can have different meanings depending on the perspective of children, caregivers, or occupational therapists. The second theme explores the components impacting the experience of the relationship. These include the power dynamics, the communication, and respect for diversity. Finally, the third theme illustrates how the relationship can empower positive change. Implications. Children, caregivers, and occupational therapists each have a perspective that ought to be heard. Occupational therapists should actively ask for children's and caregivers' perspectives to encourage power sharing and effective communication. By doing so, occupational therapists can strengthen the therapeutic relationship, which, in turn, promotes positive change.

Manifestations oto-rhino-laryngologiques de la COVID-19 chez l' enfant à Brazzaville / Otorhinolaryngological manifestations of COVID-19 in Children in Brazzaville

L'objectif de ce travail était de contribuer à la connaissance des manifestations ORL de la covid-19 chez l'enfant afin d'en améliorer la prise en charge. Patients et méthodes. Il s'est agi d'uneétudedescriptive de 12 mois incluant les dossiers des enfants âgés de moins de 18 ans symptomatiques et testés positifs à la COVID-19 par RT-PCR. Il s'agissait des enfants reçus en consultation dans les services d'otorhinolaryngologie de l'hôpital de Référencede Talangaï et du CHU de Brazzaville. Tous les prélèvements étaient acheminés au laboratoire national de santé publique où le diagnostic était fait par RT-PCR. Résultats.Sur un total de 1080 enfants consultés pour une symptomatologie respiratoire ORL, seuls 21 étaient testés positifs à la COVID-19 représentant une prévalence de 1,9%. L'âge moyen était de 12,6 ans ± 5,7 (extrêmes: 3 ­17 ans) avec un ratio de 0,9 légèrement en faveur des filles. La tranche d'âge de 13 à 18 ans était la plus représentative (n=13, soit 61,8%) suivie de 9 à 13 ans (n=4, soit 19,1%) correspondant aux enfants ayant un antécédent personnel d'atopie (80,9%). La symptomatologie était dominée par l'angine érythémateuse (n=17, soit 80,9%) suivie de la rhinopharyngite (n=3, soit 14,4%) et du syndrome de Marschall (n=1, soit 4,7%). Tous les enfants étaient orientés auprès des services habiletés à la prise en charge mais seuls 13 d'entre eux (61,9%) étaient contre-référés et déclarés guéris après un contrôle RT-PCR négatif. Conclusion.Si l'angine érythémateuse domine la symptomatologie COVID-19 chez l'enfant, il en ressort que le syndrome de Marschall reste une exception clinique.

Couverture de la chimio ­ prévention du paludisme saisonnier chez les enfants de 3 à 59 mois au Bénin en 2023 / Coverage of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in children from 3 to 59 months of age in Benin in 2023

Introduction : la Chimioprévention du Paludisme Saisonnier (CPS) est une intervention pouvant réduire la survenue des cas de paludisme chez les enfants de 3 à 59 mois. L'objectif de cette étude était de mesurer la couverture de la CPS chez les enfants de 3 à 59 mois pendant la campagne (juillet à octobre 2023) vivant dans la zone d'intervention au Bénin. Matériels et méthodes : une étude enquête transversale descriptive et analytique a été conduite du 30 novembre au 14 décembre 2023. Un échantillonnage en grappe à trois degrés a permis de tiré au sort 3573 en milieux urbain et rural dans 172 Zones de Dénombrements (ZD) réparties dans les 15 communes d'intervention. Résultats : l'enquête a révélé que 87,3% des enfants ciblés ont été touchés par la campagne de CPS 2023. Sur les quatre passages, la couverture complète était respectivement de 84,4%, 81,7%, 77,7% et 62,2%. La couverture complète pour les douze doses était de 59,8%. Conclusion : la couverture en CPS a diminué au fur et à mesure des doses. Les refus persistent et proviennent des personnes clés des ménages qui décident de l'accès aux soins. Le plan de communication et les stratégies de déploiement de la CPS doit être investigué et renforcé en vue d'améliorer la couverture.

Introduction: Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is an intervention that can reduce the occurrence of malaria in children aged 3-59 months. The study aimed to measure the coverage of SMC among children aged 3 to 59 months from July to October 2023 living in the intervention zone in Benin. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 30 November to 14 December 2023. Three-stage sampling was used to randomly select 3573 people in urban and rural areas in 172 enumeration zones (ED) in the 15 intervention municipalities. Results: Of the targeted children, 87.3% of had been reached by the 2023 CPS campaign Over the four rounds, full coverage was 84.4%, 81.7%, 77.7% and 62.2% respectively. Full coverage for the twelve doses was 59.8%. Conclusion: The SMC coverage decreased with each dose and varied across areas. The SMC communication plan and implementation needs to be strengthened to improve coverage

Introduction: La sensibilisation aux trophallergènes, bien que mal connue, est décrite comme responsable d'une sensibilité relativement fréquente. L'objectif de cette étude était de décrire le profil de la sensibilisation aux trophallergènes chez les enfants. Méthodes: Il s'est agi d'une étude prospective, descriptive et analytique qui s'est déroulée de 1er juillet 2015 à 30 juin 2022 dans le service de pneumo-allergologie du CHU-Campus de Lomé et ayant porté sur les patients qui après acceptation et réalisation des tests cutanés étaient sensibilisés aux trophallergènes. Résultats: Nous avons recensé au total 468 patients âgés de 7 mois à 18 ans ; la fréquence de réalisation des tests était de 25,9% et celle de la sensibilisation aux trophallergènes de 66,9%. L'âge moyen des patients était de 8,12 ± 0,77 ans. Le sexe ratio était de 1,3. La rhinite allergique était le motif de consultation dans 39,9 % des cas. L'arachide était l'aliment incriminé dans 31,5 % des cas comme trophallergène dans les antécédents personnels. Les patients étaient sensibilisés aux oléagineuses 70,4% (arachide, sésame) ; aux légumineuses 24,6% (soja, haricot) ; aux légumes 4,7% (gombo, corète potagère) ; aux fruits 33,6% (banane, avocat) ; aux céréales 11,8% (blé, maïs) ; aux tubercules 1,9% (manioc, igname) ; à l'œuf 54,9% ; à la crevette 53,6% ; au lait de vache 51,1% ; au crabe 16,5%. Conclusion: La sensibilisation aux trophallergènes était élevée et concernait aussi bien les protéines animales que végétales.

[Anorexia nervosa and the perinatal period]. / Anorexie mentale et période périnatale.

As a complex pathology, anorexia nervosa interacts with the psychological challenges of pregnancy, and raises questions about how to support the women concerned. As part of a multidisciplinary approach, support groups are particularly important, offering both individual and social support. Child-parent drop-in centers can also provide a supportive space for the psychological work of parenting.

[What tools can be used to create a parent-child group in a transcultural situation?] / Quels outils pour la création d'un groupe parents-enfants en situation transculturelle ?

Welcoming migrant families into an early childhood unit forces professionals to reflect on their clinical practices. When faced with parents with whom the therapeutic alliance is hard to establish and with children with developmental delays, a psychologist and a childcare assistant turn to transcultural psychology to find adapted tools. This text presents the reflections, the set up and the beginning of a parent-child therapeutic group.

Encrucijadas de la virtualidad. Niñeces y adolescencias en tiempos de incertidumbre y violencias / Crossroads of virtuality. children and adolescences in times of uncertainties and violence / Carrefour de la virtualité. les enfants et les adolescents en temps d'incertitudes et de violence / Encruzilhadas da virtualidade. infância e adolescência em tempos de incertezas e violências

Entre otros efectos, la pandemia produjo en niños y adolescentes un uso casi abusivo de las pantallas, como modo de conectarse con el mundo. Y mientras algunos las utilizaron para sostener redes afectivas, otros se encerraron en ellas y se aislaron del mundo, resultándoles después muy difícil el regreso. Estamos viendo ahora los efectos de esos tiempos de apego a la virtualidad y de ausencia de contacto con pares, tanto en la primera infancia, como en la edad escolar y en la adolescencia. Así, nos encontramos con un recrudecimiento de un modo de ubicarse por parte de los adultos frente a niñas, niños y adolescentes en el que no se toma en cuenta la lógica infantil, no se los escucha y no se toma en cuenta su sufrimiento. Esto lleva a que se supongan pandemias de TEA (Trastorno de Espectro Autista) y de TDAH (Trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad).Los profesionales psi tenemos una enorme responsabilidad en esta época. Somos artífices de futuro. Es decir, podemos cambiar destinos de niñas, niños y adolescentes si entendemos que trabajar con ellos, en el ámbito que fuera, supone un posicionamiento que implica una representación del otro como ser humano, como sujeto merecedor de intercambios simbólicos AU

Among other effects, the pandemic led children and adolescents to an almost abusive use of screens as a way to connect with the world. While some used them to maintain affective relationships, others closed themselves off and isolated from the world, making it very difficult for them to return to in-person relationships afterward. We are now witnessing the effects of those times of attachment to virtuality and lack of contact with peers, both in early childhood, school-age and adolescence. Thus, we find an upsurge of a way for adults to position themselves in relation to children and adolescents, where the child's logic is not considered, they are not heard, and their psychological suffering is not taken into account. This leads to the assumption of pandemics of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Psychologists have a huge responsibility in this era. We are architects of the future. That is, we can change the destinies of children and adolescents if we understand that working with them in any context involves a positioning that implies a representation of the other as a human being, as a subject deserving of symbolic exchanges AU

Entre autres effets, la pandémie a produit une utilisation presque abusive des écrans chez les enfants et les adolescents, comme moyen de se connecter avec le monde. Et tandis que certains les utilisaient pour entretenir des réseaux émotionnels, d'autres s'enfermaient et s'isolaient du monde, ce qui rendait très difficile leur retour ultérieur. Nous constatons aujourd'hui les effets de ces périodes d'attachement à la virtualité et d'absence de contact avec les pairs, tant dans la petite enfance qu'à l'âge scolaire et à l'adolescence.Ainsi, on constate une aggravation d'une manière de positionner les adultes envers les filles, les garçons et les adolescents dans laquelle la logique des enfants n'est pas prise en compte, ils ne sont pas écoutés et leurs souffrances ne sont pas prises encompte. Cela conduit à de supposées pandémies de TSA (trouble du spectre autistique) et de TDAH (trouble du déficit de l'attention avec hyperactivité). Nous, les professionnels du psi, avons une énorme responsabilité en cette période. Nous sommes les architectes du futur. Autrement dit, nous pouvons changer le destin des filles, des garçons et des adolescents si nous comprenons que travailler avec eux, quel que soit le domaine, implique un positionnement qui implique une représentation de l'autre comme être humain, comme sujet digne d'échanges symboliques AU

Entre outros efeitos, a pandemia levou crianças e adolescentes a um uso quase abusivo das telas como forma de se conectar com o mundo. Enquanto alguns as utilizavam para manter redes afetivas, outros se fecharam nelas e se isolaram do mundo, tornando difícil o retorno a relações presenciais. Estamos agora testemunhando os efeitos desses tempos de apego à virtualidade e falta de contato com os pares, tanto na primeira infância quanto na idade escolar e na adolescência. Assim, nos deparamos com o recrudescimento de uma forma de posicionamento por parte dos adultos em relação a crianças e adolescentes, em que a lógica infantil não é considerada, eles não são ouvidos, e seu sofrimento psicológico não é levado em conta. Issoleva à suposição de pandemias de Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção/Hiperatividade (TDAH).Os profissionais da psicologia têm uma enorme responsabilidade nesta época. Somos arquitetos do futuro.

Prevalence of depression and protective factors in a population of children aged 8 to 10 years, suffering from specific learning disorders, in a special education and home care service (SESSAD).

OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the prevalence of depression in a population of children aged 8 to 10 years with learning disabilities treated in a Special Education and Home Care Service (SESSAD) and identify the protective factors that might preserve these children from depressive and affective problems. METHODS: Twenty children, aged 8 to 10, with learning disabilities were evaluated prior to their admission in SESSAD. Depression had been assessed through the Multiscore Depression Inventory for Children (MDIC), adapted to the French population as well as their developmental position in relation with their perceptual maturity of their body schema, through the Draw your family drawing. The protective factors were assessed through the qualitative analysis of the stories told on the Draw your family projective drawing and card 4, 9, 20 of The Socialization Test for Children (TSEA). Quantitative data were computed through descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests (Spearman's correlation test) by the jamovi© statistic software (V.2.3.24), and the qualitative data were analyzed through thematic content analysis and lexical text analysis through the TROPES software (V.8.3). RESULTS: Quantitative data showed for the entire group: (1) a perceptual maturity delay of the body schema in 75% of the sample; (2) a low incidence of depression in this population with, however, 40% of the sample, (aged 8 and 9) displaying a critical threshold for feelings of helplessness. The qualitative analysis of the Draw your family and TSEA stories allowed to underline some of the protective factors against depression and those which refer, in decreasing order, to the social support given by family members, peers, and the emotional substitutes (animals). CONCLUSIONS: This research highlighted the precocity of the feelings of helplessness in this population and the importance given by these children to the social support. These findings and future research on the topic might be used to guide the design and implementation of adjusted interventions addressing both the development of their learning capability and psychological empowerment.
