The preschool PATHS curriculum was designed as a universal preschool classroom curriculum to improve children's social-emotional learning and reduce problem behaviors. : This review examined the published outcome studies ( = 5) of the preschool PATHS curriculum examining social-emotional and problem behavior outcome measures. : One randomized control trial, two quasi-experimental designs and two pre-experimental designs met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. : The evidence supporting the preschool PATHS curriculum positively impacting social-emotional competencies is mild to moderate. Evidence supporting the preschool PATHS curriculum as a universal curriculum to reduce problem behavior is sparse and equivocal. : Early childhood professionals should implement the preschool PATHS curriculum with the understanding that a child's acquisition of social competencies may not readily equate to a reduction in problem behaviors.

Fourth Kindergarten of Guangdong Military Region, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Early childhood is a sensitive period for the development of agility and balance quality. Currently, children's agility and balance quality are gradually declining, and the pathways for enhancing these qualities are limited. In light of this, the study adopts a set theory perspective to explore the configurational pathways through which subsystems of gross motor skills can promote children's agility and balance quality.

Cognitive abilities are closely related to social emotional competences (SEC). These abilities are important foundations in order to adapt to school, interact with peers and adults, as well as to navigate the wider socio-cultural context in which one develops. Further, young children are also acquiring and deepening their language and preliteracy skills which are important for later academic learning.

Article Synopsis
- Childhood maltreatment significantly increases the risk of homelessness, with individuals who experienced maltreatment being twice as likely to report homelessness in adulthood compared to those without such histories.
- The study tracked psychiatric symptoms (like depression and PTSD) over time, finding that these symptoms help explain the relationship between childhood maltreatment and future homelessness.
- Key psychiatric issues identified—depression, PTSD, and antisocial personality disorder—emphasize the need for targeted interventions for those with histories of childhood maltreatment to reduce homelessness risk.
Systemic biological mechanisms underpin poor post-discharge growth among severely wasted children with HIV.

In sub-Saharan Africa, children with severe malnutrition (SM) and HIV have substantially worse outcomes than children with SM alone, facing higher mortality risk and impaired nutritional recovery post-hospitalisation. Biological mechanisms underpinning this risk remain incompletely understood. This case-control study nested within the CHAIN cohort in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and Burkina Faso examined effect of HIV on six months post-discharge growth among children with SM and those at risk of malnutrition, assessed proteomic signatures associated with HIV in these children, and investigated how these systemic processes impact post-discharge growth in children with SM.
