Source publication
A strong link between children’s emotion regulation and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms has been documented; however, the within-person mechanisms remain unclear. Based on the self-control theory and self-regulation theory, our study investigated the longitudinal, bidirectional relationship between emotion regulation and ODD symptoms i...

... 9 Persistent negative influences in early childhood are associated with depression in adolescence and even mental health problems in adulthood. 4,10 Hence, it is an important public issue to explore the emotional and behavioral changes in firstborn children during TTS to reduce influences on emotional and behavioral problems and help their transition to sibling relationships more smoothly. ...
Purpose
To help firstborn children in families expecting a second child navigate the role transition more smoothly, we investigated the emotional and behavioral changes of firstborn children during the transition to siblinghood (TTS) and the factors that contribute to these changes.
Patients and Methods
From March to December 2019, a total of 97 firstborn children (Mage=3.00± 0.97, and female = 51) were included in the study through a questionnaire survey of their mothers, and two follow-up visits were conducted in Chongqing, China. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 mothers.
Results
Both quantitative and qualitative results suggest that emotional and behavioral problems of firstborn children tend to increase during TTS, particularly in issues such as anxiety/depression, somatic complaints, withdrawal, sleep problems, attention problems, and aggressive behavior, as well as internalization problems, externalization problems and total problems in the quantitative study (P<0.05). A poor father-child relationship may increase emotional and behavioral problems in firstborn children (P=0.05). Further qualitative analysis found that younger age and outgoing personality of the firstborn child may improve the emotional and behavioral problems.
Conclusion
The firstborn children did have more emotional and behavioral problems during TTS. But these problems can be regulated by family factors and their own characteristics.
Objectives
A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of single exercise on core symptoms and executive function in adolescents with ADHD.
Methods
Four databases were searched for studies of the effects of single exercise on core symptoms and executive functioning in adolescents with ADHD.
Results
Thirteen studies were included, and a single session of exercise had small effect-size improvements in core symptoms and executive function in adolescents with ADHD: 10 to 13 year olds in the early adolescent–elementary school years and 18 to 24 year olds in the late adolescent–college years. Moderate-intensity continuous training, high-intensity interval training, single sessions of less than 30 minutes, and single sessions of 30 minutes and more significantly improved cycling training, attention, inhibition, substance use, and pre-study abstinence.
Conclusions
A single session of exercise had an overall ameliorative effect on core symptoms and executive function in adolescents with ADHD.
