| Sibling squabbles can lead to depression, anxiety Posted: 20 Dec 2012 05:04 AM PST Holiday presents will soon be under the tree for millions of adolescents. With those gifts may come sibling squabbles over violations of personal space, such as unwanted borrowing of a fashionable clothing item, or arguments over fairness, such as whose turn it is to play a new video game. Those squabbles represent two specific types of sibling conflict that can have different effects on a youth's emotional health, according to a multi-year study by a psychologist.  |
| Toddlers' language skills predict less anger by preschool Posted: 20 Dec 2012 05:04 AM PST Toddlers with more developed language skills are better able to manage frustration and less likely to express anger by the time they're in preschool. That's the conclusion of a longitudinal study looking at 120 predominantly white children from families above poverty but below middle income from the time they were 18 months to 48 months.  |
| Motivation, study habits -- not IQ -- determine growth in math achievement Posted: 20 Dec 2012 05:04 AM PST It's not how smart students are but how motivated they are and how they study that determines their growth in math achievement. That's the main finding of a study that looks at six annual waves of data from a German longitudinal study assessing math ability in 3,520 students in grades five to 10. Students who felt competent; were intrinsically motivated; and avoided rote learning showed more growth in math achievement than those who didn't.  |

| Small easy changes can lead to sustainable weight loss and healthier eating habits Posted: 19 Dec 2012 02:43 PM PST Making small easy changes to our eating habits on a consistent basis -- 25 days or more per month -- can lead to sustainable weight loss, according to researchers. The challenge is to figure out which changes work for specific individuals and how to stick with changes long enough to make them second nature.  |
