| 'Making music may improve young children's behavior' Posted: 05 Sep 2013 05:28 PM PDT Making music can improve both pro-social behavior (voluntary behavior intended to benefit another) and the problem solving skills of young children according to a new study. Building on existing research which found that making music significantly improves pro-social behavior in young children) the current study investigated not only the potential effects of music making (singing or playing an instrument) on pro-sociability but also its effects on problem-solving and whether there was a difference between boys and girls.  |

| What are the risks of student cyberbullying? Posted: 05 Sep 2013 08:37 AM PDT A new survey of middle and high school student attitudes to cyberbullying and online safety shows that many children are bullied and few understand internet safety.  |
| People who lie while texting take longer to respond Posted: 05 Sep 2013 08:36 AM PDT Ever been trading a flurry of text messages when there's an awkward pause? Well, new research shows you probably should be suspicious.

| Children with behavioral problems more at risk of inflammation, health problems later in life Posted: 05 Sep 2013 05:59 AM PDT Children with behavioral problems may be at risk of many chronic diseases in adulthood including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, as well as inflammatory illnesses (conditions which are caused by cell damage). Researchers found that children with behavioral problems at the age of 8, had higher levels of two proteins (C-reactive protein -- CRP; and Interleukin 6 -- IL-6) in their blood when tested at the age of 10. Having raised levels of CRP and IL-6 can be an early warning sign that a person may be at risk of chronic or inflammatory conditions later in life.  |
