NYT Parenting November 30, 2019 A roundup of 4 new guidance and stories from NYT Parenting. As we barrel through Thanksgiving weekend and deep into the holiday season, how do we keep small children, who thrive on consistency and routines, on track? “As long as you loosely maintain the three pillars of wellness — sleep, food and exercise — during the holidays, you can weather them with minimal meltdowns,” writer Jancee Dunn assured us in her latest: “Keep Your Kids from Going Feral During the Holidays.” (We also have a guide to taming tantrums for the moments when a crash is unavoidable.) Two doctors interrogated common parenting misconceptions this week. For anyone who has ever been told to “just relax” while trying to conceive, Dr. Randi Hutter Epstein, M.D., reported on whether stress actually affects fertility; and Dr. Aaron Carroll, M.D., a pediatrician with decades of experience, brought up the trouble with growth charts — “they’re definitely not meant to be diagnostic tools” for children’s height and weight.

CDC intends to commit up to $1,050,000 in Fiscal Year 2020 to support up to three awards. The agency is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and advance knowledge about what works to prevent violence by rigorously evaluating primary prevention strategies in any of three areas. CDC seeks to support research that rigorously evaluates primary prevention programs, practices, or policies to address specific gaps in the prevention of violence impacting children and youth. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including exposure to violence, can negatively affect health across the lifespan. The specific research objectives focus on evaluating the effectiveness of: Community-level or societal-level strategies to prevent multiple forms of violence and other ACEs that impact children and youth Strategies that enhance protective factors to reduce violence against children or within families Strategies that incorporate a dual-generation approach for caregivers and their children to break the cycle of violence and adversity Violence is a significant public health problem in the United States with more than 67,000 deaths and nearly 2.3 million nonfatal injuries treated in emergency departments in 2017. The CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control Division of Violence Prevention works to stop violence before it begins.
