Unlabelled: The concept, approaches to learning (ATL), is an important dimension of children's school readiness, which reflects children's enthusiasm and engagement in learning settings. Due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), when preschools were shut down for months and children's social interactions were greatly limited, preschoolers' ATL might be negatively affected. However, strengthened family-school connections might have the potential to reduce the adverse effects of the pandemic. Based on a sample of 340 preschoolers from 30 classes of 6 preschools in Wuhan, China, we explored the association between family-preschool connections and preschoolers' ATL scores. The findings showed that the preschoolers' ATL were statistically and positively associated with parental attendance at the online parent-teacher meetings initiated by the preschools (standardized coefficient = 0.15). Policy implications regarding the enhancement of family-preschool connections are discussed.

Hippocampal resection during hemispherotomy: is it needed?
Childs Nerv Syst
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Dana Children's Hospital, Tel Aviv Medical Center, 6 Weizman Street, 64239, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Purpose: Hemispherotomy is an effective surgery for intractable pediatric hemispheric epilepsy. Over the years, the surgical goal has shifted from a complete hemispheric resection (anatomical hemispherectomy) to a disconnective hemispherotomy (DH). Multiple techniques for DH have been described, and often, anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL, with hippocampal resection) is performed.

Introduction: Little is known about the longitudinal trajectory of brain growth in children with opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia syndrome. We performed a longitudinal evaluation of brain volumes in pediatric opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia syndrome patients compared with age- and sex-matched healthy children.
Patients And Methods: This longitudinal case-control study included brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from consecutive pediatric opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia syndrome patients (2009-2020) and age- and sex-matched healthy control children.
Parenting stress and Chinese preschoolers' approaches to learning: a moderated mediation model of authoritative parenting and household residency.

Department of Early Childhood Education, School of Education, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou, China.
According to the family stress model, this study examined the relationship between parenting stress and preschoolers' approaches to learning (ATL) in China, as well as the mediating effect of authoritative parenting and the moderating effect of household residency (migrant and native). A survey of 5,047 preschoolers' parents (2,186 natives and 2,861 migrants) supports the proposed moderated mediation model. The results showed that after controlling for gender and age, parenting stress affected preschoolers' development of ATL negatively.

- * A retrospective analysis of 3,573 laboratory-confirmed ATL cases in Oran from 1985 to 2019 revealed that 92.5% were cutaneous, with a median evolution time of 30 days, while 7.5% were mucosal with a median time of 7 months.
- * The study highlighted that males were affected more frequently (3:1 ratio), with the majority of cases presenting as single cutaneous lesions on exposed
Assessing preschoolers' approaches to learning in the Chinese context: a scale for teacher-parent co-evaluation.

College of Teacher Education, Ningbo University, Ningbo City, China.
Introduction: An effective assessment of preschoolers' approaches to learning (ATL) requires multiple-reporter co-evaluation, such as teachers and parents. Based on extant research on children's ATL combined with Chinese cultural background and educational policies, this study aims to develop an ATL scale suitable for Chinese teachers and parents to co-evaluate preschoolers' ATL.
Methods: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the data collected from teachers (=833) and parents (=856) demonstrates the four-factor structure of the ATL: creativity, learning strategy, competence motivation, and attention/persistence, wherein creativity is a new dimension uncovered in the Chinese context.
