AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how social withdrawal behavior at one year old relates to children's motor and language development milestones.
- Researchers used data from the EDEN birth cohort study, assessing social withdrawal with the Alarm Distress BaBy (ADBB) scale and evaluating motor and language skills through midwives and parent reports.
- Results indicated that higher levels of social withdrawal were linked to delays in language milestones and some delay in motor skills, suggesting that understanding social withdrawal can help identify potential developmental challenges in children.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between social withdrawal behaviour at one year and motor and language milestones.
Materials And Methods: One-year old children from the EDEN French population-based birth cohort study (Study on the pre- and postnatal determinants of the child's development and prospective health Birth Cohort Study) were included. Social withdrawal at one year was assessed by trained midwives using the Alarm Distress BaBy (ADBB) scale. Midwives concurrently examined infants' motor and language milestones. Parents reported on child's psychomotor and language milestones, during the interview with the midwife.
Results: After adjusting for potential confounding factors, social withdrawal behaviour was significantly associated with concurrent delays in motor and language milestones assessed by the midwife or the parents.
Discussion: Higher scores on social withdrawal behaviour as assessed with the ADBB were associated with delays in reaching language milestones, and to a lesser extent with lower motor ability scores. Taking the contribution of social withdrawal behaviour into account may help understand the unfolding of developmental difficulties in children.
