Au Canada, nous nous améliorons. Les mères peuvent bénéficier de soins universels avant et après la naissance de leurs enfants. Tous les bébés sont évalués à la naissance. Les visites à domicile pour les nouveau-nés sont très répandues et la plupart des quartiers comportent des centres familiaux. Cependant, le soutien devient moins accessible et la politique publique ne sait pas trop ce qu’elle doit faire entre la fin du congé parental et l’entrée à l’école. S’assurer que tous les jeunes enfants profitent des meilleurs programmes préscolaires possible fait partie des problèmes non résolus au Canada. Ce rapport a pour but de montrer où nous en sommes, ce que nous savons et ce que nous pouvons faire pour accomplir le travail.</description></item><item><title>File: Early Years Study 3: Making decisions - Taking action</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/background-references/1379.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:30:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1379</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>Families raising young children need all the support they can get. In Canada we are making progress. Mothers are supported with universal pre- and postnatal care. All babies are screened at birth. Newborn home visiting is widespread and family centres are found in most neighbourhoods. It is between the end of parental leave and the beginning of schooling that supports break down and public policy is confused about what to do. Ensuring that all young children enjoy the best preschool that we can devise is Canada’s unfinished business. This report is intended to show where we are, what we know and what we can do to finish the job.</description></item><item><title>File: Les mesures, en appui au développement de la petite enfance</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/background-references/1378.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1378</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>Les expériences et les environnements de la petite enfance ont un effet important et mesurable sur les trajectoires de santé et de bien-être. Le monde de chaque enfant, en particulier ses parents et les autres personnes qui s’occupent de lui, sculptent littéralement le cerveau et influent sur les voies du stress. Pendant la petite enfance, il existe des interventions efficaces qui peuvent améliorer les issues sociétales et à l’âge adulte. Dans le présent document de principes, la Société canadienne de pédiatrie demande aux gouvernements fédéral, provinciaux et territoriaux de mesurer et de surveiller l’évolution du développement des enfants au Canada, qui peut varier considérablement selon les collectivités et les groupes démographiques. Le document de principes traite des objectifs en vue de colliger de l’information de qualité sur le développement de la petite enfance, ses déterminants et ses issues à long terme. Il expose également quatre approches pour recueillir des données par enquête en population, par individu et par enquête longitudinale, tant chez les jeunes enfants que plus tard dans la vie. Une intervention rapide représente l’un des principaux résultats de la surveillance du développement. Il est essentiel de lier les données individuelles au domicile et à la collectivité pour que les collectivités et les gouvernements puissent assurer un suivi et prendre des mesures en appui au développement de la petite enfance.</description></item><item><title>File: Measuring in support of early childhood development</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/background-references/1377.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:23:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1377</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A child’s early experiences and environments have a significant, measurable effect on later life trajectories of health and well-being. Each child’s own world, especially parents and other caregivers, literally sculpts the brain and impacts stress pathways. Effective early childhood interventions exist that can improve adult and societal outcomes. In this statement, the Canadian Paediatric Society calls on federal and provincial/territorial governments to measure and monitor the developmental progress of children in Canada, which can vary widely among communities and demographic groups. The statement explores the objectives for collecting quality information about early child development, its determinants and long-term outcomes. It also examines four approaches to collecting population based, person-specific and longitudinal data, both in young children and later in life. A key outcome of monitoring development is timely intervention. Linking individual data to the home and community levels is a critical step, so that communities and governments can monitor and take actions that support early child development.</description></item><item><title>File: Bien faire ce qu’il faut à 18 mois : en appui au bilan de santé amélioré</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/background-references/1376.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:21:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1376</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>L&amp;#39;évolution des neurosciences révèle une relation toujours solide entre le développement et les milieux de la petite enfance et les expériences plus tard dans la vie, y compris la santé physique et mentale, le rendement scolaire et le comportement. Les pédiatres, les médecins de famille et les autres dispensateurs de soins de premier recours ont besoin de mettre le plus à profit possible les bilans de santé, dans ce cas-ci le bilan de santé amélioré à 18 mois, afin de compenser une « inégalité des chances » croissante au Canada. Un bilan amélioré comprend la promotion de choix plus sains et de rôles parentaux positifs auprès des familles, l&amp;#39;utilisation de conseils préventifs et d&amp;#39;outils gérés par le médecin ainsi que l&amp;#39;établissement de liens entre les ressources communautaires locales et les enfants et leur famille. Le présent document de principes démontre la nécessité de mesurer et de surveiller les principaux indicateurs de la santé et du bien-être de la petite enfance. Il contient des recommandations destinées aux médecins, aux gouvernements et aux organismes visant une évaluation universelle et subventionnée de la santé développementale de chaque enfant canadien à 18 mois.</description></item><item><title>File: Getting it right at 18 months: In support of an enhanced well-baby visit</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/background-references/1375.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1375</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>Evolving neuroscience reveals an ever-strong relationship between children’s earliest development/environment and later life experience, including physical and mental health, school performance and behaviour. Paediatricians, family physicians and other primary care providers need to make the most of well-baby visits—here a focus on an enhanced 18-month visit—to address a widening &amp;#39;opportunity gap&amp;#39; in Canada. An enhanced visit entails promoting healthier choices and positive parenting to families, using anticipatory guidance and physician-prompt tools, and connecting children and families with local community resources. This statement demonstrates the need for measuring/monitoring key indicators of early childhood health and well-being. It offers specific recommendations to physicians, governments and organizations for a universally established and supported assessment of every Canadian child’s developmental health at 18 months.</description></item><item><title>File: Lanark County Resource Pathway - English</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/regional_resource_pathways/1373.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:35:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1373</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A downloadable version of the Lanark County specific Early Childhood Resource Pathway.</description></item><item><title>File: Leeds - Grenville Resource Pathway - English</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/regional_resource_pathways/1372.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:34:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1372</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A downloadable version of the Leeds - Grenville specific Early Childhood Resource Pathway.</description></item><item><title>File: Lennox - Addington Resource Pathway - English</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/regional_resource_pathways/1371.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:33:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1371</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A downloadable version of the Lennox - Addington specific Early Childhood Resource Pathway. </description></item><item><title>File: Sharbot Lake Resource Pathway - English</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/regional_resource_pathways/1370.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:31:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1370</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A downloadable version of the Sharbot Lake specific Early Childhood Resource Pathway.</description></item><item><title>File: Kingston Queens FHT Resource Pathway - English</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/regional_resource_pathways/1369.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:23:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1369</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A downloadable version of the Kingston Queens FHT specific Early Childhood Resource Pathway.</description></item><item><title>File: Kingston Resource Pathway - English</title><link>http://machealth.ca/programs/18-month/18-month-resources/m/regional_resource_pathways/1368.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">461000ea-15a8-4df6-8af1-4c9c7030876c:1368</guid><dc:creator>Jodie Bousfield</dc:creator><description>A downloadable version of the Kingston specific Early Childhood Resource Pathway.</description></item></channel></rss>
