Book Description
It is in early childhood that the foundations of many of our fundamental attitudes and values are first put into place. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is all about the future and it is young children who have the greatest stake as citizens in the future. This book provides an introduction to education for sustainability in the field of early childhood. Written by leading experts and including the very latest international thinking on the subject, it clearly describes how the idea of ESD emerged, and shows how today it includes an integration of social, environmental and economic aspects of life and society. The authors look at what is already being done in early years settings and provides practical support for practitioners to develop this further drawing on best practice from around the world. Presenting a wide range of examples of projects carried out with young children, this timely book aims to offer practitioners inspiration for further development of Education for Sustainable Development in the early years. It will also be a rich source of information for those concerned with policy development.

Book Description
In this seminal volume, leading authorities strategize about how to create early childhood systems that transcend politics and economics to serve the needs of all young children. The authors offer different interpretations of the nature of early childhood systems, discuss the elements necessary to support their development, and examine how effectiveness can be assessed. With a combination of cutting-edge scholarship and practical examples of systems-building efforts taking place in the field, this book provides the foundation educators and policymakers need to take important steps toward developing more conceptually integrated approaches to early childhood care, education, and comprehensive services.

Book Description
CONTEXTE : La carie des dents temporaires non traitée est la maladie non transmissible infantile chronique la plus courante dans le monde et en France. Les inégalités territoriales d'accès aux soins dentaires, les disparités de moyens pour y accéder ainsi que le coût important pour la société font de la carie dentaire de l'enfant un vrai enjeu de santé publique. Pourtant, des moyens de prévention existent, notamment le recours au dentifrice fluoré. L'objectif de cette étude est de synthétiser les preuves sur l'impact du fluor topique par dentifrice dans la prévention primaire de la carie dentaire chez les enfants de moins de 6 ans. METHODE : Revue parapluie portant sur les enfants de moins 6 ans, exposés au dentifrice fluoré vs non exposés au fluor par dentifrice, avec pour critère de jugement l'augmentation moyenne du dmfs/ DMFS ou dmft/DMFT (PICO). RESULTATS : 4 revues systématiques ont été incluses sur les 910 identifiées. Il existe une différence statistiquement significative en faveur de l'utilisation des dentifrices fluorés de plus de 1000ppm, pour les 3 revues ayant effectué des méta-analyses, les comparant à un placebo ou l'absence d'intervention : PF groupé 30% IC à 95% (18 à 43%), DMS -0,24 IC à 95% (-0,36 à -0,13%), DM -1,86 IC à 95% (-2,52 à -1,21%). Bien que plus efficace que l'absence d'intervention ou un placebo, aucun des résultats portant sur les dentifrices de moins de 1000ppm de fluor n'est significatif. CONCLUSION : Le dentifrice au fluor est efficace chez les enfants de moins de 6 ans en prévention primaire de la carie dentaire. Une relation dose-réponse semble exister dans l'efficacité du dentifrice au fluor. Des études complémentaires sont nécessaires pour affirmer ce propos. Le médecin généraliste devrait être partie prenante de la prévention de la carie dentaire précoce par une information fiable et systématique auprès des parents et de leurs enfants, lors du suivi habituel pédiatrique.
Book Description
La PMI (Protection maternelle et infantile), vieille dame de 70 ans toujours en pleine jeunesse, sera-t-elle dans l'avenir à la hauteur de son histoire ? Cet ouvrage souhaite approfondir la réflexion sur les concepts et les pratiques en santé maternelle et infantile, et les confronter aux perspectives ouvertes par les lois de modernisation du système de santé et de protection de l'enfant, afin de se projeter vers la PMI du futur. Quelles sont les diverses approches de la santé maternelle et infantile en Europe ? En quoi les multiples expériences qui y sont menées peuvent-elles être sources d'inspiration ? Quels sont les parcours des parents et des bébés en PMI, riches de ces rencontres nouvelles avec des musiciens, des conteurs, des clowns, des danseurs, des philosophes... ? L'usage des nouvelles technologies de l'information en santé vient-il transformer les pratiques et les relations entre professionnels et avec les parents Comment les mutations du regard sur le bébé font-elles bouger les soins préventifs autour de la naissance et du retour au domicile ? Au final, les auteurs, qui rappellent les enjeux politiques de l'avenir de la PMI, livrent ici un plaidoyer ardent au-service de la santé des enfants, des femmes et des familles.

Book Description
La mission de prévention des équipes de PMI concerne la santé globale des enfants jusqu’à 6 ans et l’accompagnement des parents dès la grossesse. Est-elle compatible avec leur mission de protection de l’enfance qui peut conduire au dépistage, voire au signalement, de situations à risque de danger ou de danger avéré ? Au fil du temps, les professionnels de PMI ont affirmé leurs connaissances des besoins de l’enfant et de son développement, et ont progressé dans le repérage précoce de situations à risque de maltraitance. Ils ont développé des prises en soin interdisciplinaires, individuelles ou collectives, à domicile ou en centres de PMI, avec de nombreux partenaires. Grâce à ce travail préventif concerté, bien des situations ont trouvé des réponses sans recours à la judiciarisation, tout en préservant le bon développement des enfants au sein de leur famille. Mais parfois l'intérêt de l'enfant exige des mesures administratives ou judiciaires de protection. Les évolutions législatives ont réaffirmé la participation de la PMI à la prévention de la maltraitance et à l’évaluation des informations préoccupantes. Comment garder, malgré tout, la confiance des familles, ferments de l'alliance thérapeutique, et préserver « l'esprit de la prévention prévenante » afin d’accompagner, d’aider et de soigner ?

Book Description
Issues of oral health in children revolve almost exclusively around dental caries. In the U.S., dental caries is the most common chronic childhood disease, and its treatment is the most prevalent unmet health need in children. A substantial portion of caries lesions can be prevented; indeed, the incidence of this disease has declined among school-age children and adults in the past three decades. However, incidence among preschool children has not declined at a similar rate over this same time period. Dental caries is an infectious disease that can occur when cariogenic bacteria colonize a tooth surface in the presence of dietary carbohydrates, especially refined sugars. The bacteria metabolize the carbohydrates, producing lactic acid, which over time demineralizes the tooth structure. The earliest visible manifestation of dental caries is the appearance of a demineralized area on the tooth surface, which presents either as a small white spot on a smooth surface or a pit or fissure. At this stage, a caries lesion is usually reversible. If oral conditions do not change, demineralization will continue with the eventual result that the tooth surface loses its natural contour and a "cavity" develops. At this stage, restorative treatment is necessary to prevent the continuation of the caries process, which if left untreated will eventually result in pulpitis and ultimately tooth loss. Progression of individual caries lesions is typically slow, but it can be extremely rapid in a small proportion of individuals and especially in primary teeth, which have thinner enamel. Because dental caries is a chronic disease of microbial origin, modified by diet, the elimination of active caries lesions through treatment does not necessarily mean that the disease has been eradicated. An individual's risk for dental caries can change with time as etiologic factors change, leading to new caries events around already treated lesions or on previously unaffected tooth surfaces. Dental caries in primary teeth can has both short- and longer-term negative consequences. Caries lesions often cause pain because they can progress rapidly in primary teeth and involve the pulp before they are either detected or treated. Regardless of their degree of progression, lesions cavitated into dentin require reparative treatment or tooth extraction; both are frequently traumatic experiences for young children. Young children with untreated, symptomatic carious teeth often present to emergency departments of hospitals for their first dental visit. Also, untreated caries lesions in young children may be associated with failure to thrive, although evidence is conflicting regarding this association Untreated caries typically is cited as leading to increased infections, dysfunction, poor appearance, and low self-esteem, but most of these associations stem from conventional wisdom rather than observational studies. Key Questions addressed include: 1. How accurate is PCC screening in identifying children ages 0 to 5 years who: (a) have dental caries requiring referral to a dentist? (b) are at elevated risk of future dental caries? 2. How effective is PCC referral of children ages 0 to 5 years to dentists in terms of the proportion of referred children making a dental visit? 3. How effective is PCC prescription of supplemental fluoride in terms of: (a) appropriateness of supplementation decision? (b) parental adherence to the dosage regimen? (c) prevention of dental caries? 4. How effective is PCC application of fluoride in terms of: (a) appropriateness of application decision? (b) achieving parental agreement for the application? (c) prevention of dental caries? 5. How effective is PCC counseling for caries-preventive behaviors as measured by: (a) adherence to the desired behavior? (b) prevention of dental caries?
