Perrin / brookline@wickedlocal.com Friday Mar 27, 2020 at 5:00 PM Mar 30, 2020 at 12:52 PM The constraints on everyone’s life due to all the efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic are considerable, and we are all finding our own ways to cope.

Promotion of Mental Health as a Key Element of Pediatric Care
Numerous national surveys, cohort studies, and meta-analyses have documented the etiologic and experiential connections between childhood abuse, physical illness, and mental health disorders1,2 spanning from childhood to adulthood. Yet pediatric training and practice typically focus primarily on the identification and treatment of physical health conditions. The recent advent of enthusiasm for integrated care is a welcome nod to the marked comorbidities that have been amply reported.
Barriers and Stigma Experienced by Gay Fathers and Their Children
Abstract BACKGROUND: Gay men have become fathers in the context of a heterosexual relationship, by adoption, by donating sperm to 1 or 2 lesbian women and subsequently sharing parenting responsibilities, and/or by engaging the services of a surrogate pregnancy carrier. Despite legal, medical, and social advances, gay fathers and their children continue to experience stigma and avoid situations because of fear of stigma.

Improving Parenting Skills for Families of Young Children in Pediatric Settings: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Importance Disruptive behavior disorders, such as attention-deficient/hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder, are common and stable throughout childhood. These disorders cause long-term morbidity but benefit from early intervention. While symptoms are often evident before preschool, few children receive appropriate treatment during this period.
Computer-Based Attention Training in the Schools for Children With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Preliminary Trial
Objective. This study examined the efficacy of 2 computer-based training systems to teach children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to attend more effectively. Design/methods. A total of 41 children with ADHD from 2 middle schools were randomly assigned to receive 2 sessions a week at school of either neurofeedback (NF) or attention training through a standard computer format (SCF), either immediately or after a 6-month wait (waitlist control group).

An online survey was distributed via snowball sampling and resulted in responses from 61 gay fathers raising children in 2 states.

They reported also on experiences of stigma directed at them and their children, especially from family members, friends, and people in religious institutions.
AAP policy: No relationship between parents’ sexual orientation and children’s well-being
A new AAP policy statement supports access for all children to civil marriage rights for their parents or willing, capable foster and adoptive parents, regardless of the parents’ sexual orientation. All children need nurturing relationships with adults, security, and social stability, according to the policy statement, Promoting the Well-Being of Children Whose Parents Are Gay or Lesbian, from the AAP Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health.
