No population-based study to date has examined whether early child care spanning full preschool period from infancy onward protective children depressed mothers.To examine moderates associations between maternal depressive symptoms (MDSs) and internalizing problems (emotional [EPs], separation anxiety symptoms, social withdrawal [SWSs]) during period.Population-based prospective cohort within...

Atypical head circumference (HC) growth has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. However, whether it is specific aspects of development in early childhood the general population unknown. The objective this study was to assess predictive value HC as an biomarker behavioral traits. We examined longitudinal associations between from 0 12 months and temperament, cognitive, motor at 24 months.
