Influence of illness on developmental progress in children under two.

Illnesses occurring in children under two were recorded in relation to a systematic programme of child surveillance in one general practice.The most important result of this study was that although illness does have a detectable effect on developmental progress, the degree of that influence is for the most part small.Illnesses experienced between 0 and 7 months have less influence upon seven-month developmental scores than upon 24-month developmental scores, but have a greater influence upon the latter than do illnesses experienced between 7 and 24 months.There was a significantly higher consultation rate for boys and for children from social classes 3b, 4, and 5.

The poor-communicating two-year-old and his family.

Two groups of children have been studied. Each group consisted of 21 two-year-olds, who had been matched individually for age, sex and social class, but who had widely differing abilities in both comprehension and expression of language.High-risk families were defined as those in which there was evidence of significant social or emotional deprivation. There was a statistically significant correlation between delayed language development in a two-year-old and evidence of psychosocial deprivation in his family.
