The Quebec Parental Insurance Plan
This study traces the historical evolution of the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP), the paid parental leave program introduced in 2006 in Quebec, Canada, and its contribution in promoting economic, health, and gender equity; family well-being; and healthy child development. Drawing on both historical insights and reviewed evidence, it offers evidence-based policy considerations to inform the design of inclusive, equitable, and adaptable pare…
Physical Activity Moderates the Relationship Between Screen Time and Body Dissatisfaction in Early Adulthood
The transition to adulthood is a vulnerable period for the development of body image issues, which can increase the risk of behavioral disorders such as body dysmorphic and eating disorders. This study explored whether adherence to physical activity guidelines moderates the association between recreational screen time and body dissatisfaction in early adulthood. A sample of 1,475 young adults (mean age 18.81 years, 60.9% female) from 17 French-sp…
The intersection of Covid lockdown policies and parent resources with children’s media exposure in Canada, the United States, Israel, Sweden, and New Zealand
Government responses to COVID-19 included workplace and childcare closures. Many parents worked from home while caring for preschool children. Media use increased worldwide for adults and young children. This study examined how government responses were linked to family media use by testing whether policy stringency predicted preschool children's screen time and parents' motivations for child media use. Data were analyzed from 2,365 parents of 2-…

Longitudinal trajectories of parent–teacher communication during elementary school
BACKGROUND: Parent-teacher communication is key to children's school functioning. It can help teachers adjust their educational practices and interactions with students and increase parent involvement at school. AIMS: This study establishes longitudinal trajectories of parent-teacher communication, as reported by parents and examines the correlates and prospective association with students' academic abilities, school enjoyment and self-perceived …
Active Child, Accomplished Youth
Background/Objectives : Physical activity is an important protective factor throughout life. However, little research has observed the associations between the practice of physical activity and academic success longitudinally, and none have done so with a pan-Canadian sample. This article aims to examine the prospective associations between active leisure in middle childhood and academic achievement in emerging adulthood, for both boys and girls,…

Motivation for Physical Activity as a Key Determinant of Sedentary Behavior Among Postsecondary Students
It is known that the transition to adulthood represents a critical period of life when acquiring healthy behaviors can influence lifestyle and health throughout adulthood. Given the importance of the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle, identifying influence factors is key to improving healthy behaviors. The objective of this study is to explore the role of postsecondary students' motivation toward physical activity in the association with thei…
Unraveling the effects of maternal breastfeeding duration and exclusive breast milk on children’s cognitive abilities in early childhood
Background: This study investigated the putative associations between mothers' use of exclusive breast milk and the duration of breastfeeding with child cognitive development. Methods: This study is based on 2,210 Canadian families with children assessed longitudinally from age 4 to 7 years on their memory-span and math skills. These cognitive abilities were measured with standardized tasks. Breastfeeding practices were collected via maternal rep…
Maternal Labor Force Participation During the Child’s First Year and Later Separation Anxiety Symptoms
Separation anxiety symptoms are frequent among preschool-aged children, but it is also a possible gateway for diagnosis of separation anxiety disorder. Early maternal employment after childbirth can increase the risk for the development of separation anxiety symptoms. From an economic perspective, however, securing employment is one effective strategy to ensure child well-being. This study investigated how mothers’ participation in the labor forc…
Why children differ in classroom engagement
This study investigates how individual‐level factors contribute to classroom engagement variations of boys and girls across the elementary school years. Classroom engagement was assessed four times between the ages of 7 and 12 years in a large, representative population‐based sample ( N = 877) using latent growth modeling. Predictors included the sex of the child, the family income, and the mother's educational attainment when the child was 5 mon…
Using personality traits to predict correspondence between self-perception of academic competence and achievement
Reducing harm and promoting positive media use strategies
Most children grow up in homes with easy access to multiple screens. Screen use by children between the ages of 0 to 5 has become a worldwide preoccupation. In the present narrative review, we examine child and parent screen use and its contribution to physical, cognitive, and social developmental outcomes. As research has mostly focused on the adverse consequences of screen media, we aim to depict both the negative and the positive influences of…
Linking High School Students’ Achievement Goal Orientations With Their Competence Beliefs and Their Perception of Teachers’ Emotional Support During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents have experienced limitations in their everyday activities. Consequently, their mental health has become an area of concern. However, there has been much less of a focus on the factors and mechanisms contributing to how they have approached their various academic activities during the pandemic. The current study fills this gap by investigating associations between adolescents’ competence beliefs and percep…
Developmental Associations Between Media Use and Adolescent Prosocial Behavior
Youth today spend a tremendous amount of time with digital media. The purpose of the present study was to estimate developmental associations between screen media use between the ages of 15 and 17 and corresponding changes in prosocial behavior. Participants ( N = 1,509) were part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development, a population-based study of children born in the province of Quebec, Canada. Youth self-reported internet and vid…
Le défi du bilinguisme au travail chez les travailleuses sociales francophones en contexte minoritaire
Alors que des études qualitatives ont signalé que les professionnelles de la santé francophones vivant en situation minoritaire sentent qu’elles souffrent davantage au travail, ces mêmes études n’ont pas comparé leurs résultats selon la langue d’usage des individus. Grâce à la participation de 370 travailleuses sociales francophones et anglophones de l’Ontario et de la Nouvelle-Écosse, cet article montre que plus une personne utilise le français …
Changes in Students’ Achievement Motivation in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Students’ mental health has been an increased concern since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, academic outcomes have received very little attention. In this study, changes in students’ achievement motivation are investigated using an expectancy–value framework. Participants (n = 90) were high school students (grades 9 and 10) who reported on their expectancy and value perceptions in regard to learning before and during the pandemic …
Beyond Screen Time
Digital media availability has surged over the past decade. Because of a lack of comprehensive measurement tools, this rapid growth in access to digital media is accompanied by a scarcity of research examining the family media context and sociocognitive outcomes. There is also little cross-cultural research in families with young children. Modern media are mobile, interactive, and often short in duration, making them difficult to remember when ca…
Exploring Interpersonal Relationships in a Nurse-Managed Clinic and Their Impact on Clinical Outcomes
This study explores the impact of interpersonal relationships on processes and outcomes of care at a nurse-managed, primary care clinic in Southern California serving a vulnerable population. Ten semistructured interviews were conducted with all health care providers in the clinic to explore patient characteristics, types of relationships experienced, and how they may have affected processes and outcomes of care. Themes in interviews were identif…
Are inequalities produced through the differential access to play opportunities at school? A call to level the playing field
I Don't Think You Like Me Very Much
Even when accounting for past performance, academic achievement can be influenced by teacher expectations, which are lower for disadvantaged and visible ethnic minority children. We use a Quebec (Canada) population-based sample ( N = 1,311) to examine whether ethnicity and teacher-perceived signs of disadvantage in kindergarten predict child reports of their relationship with teachers in fourth grade. Results suggest that visible minority childre…
Prospective associations between early long-term household tobacco smoke exposure and antisocial behaviour in later childhood
BACKGROUND: Using a prospective birth cohort design, we estimate the relative contribution of long-term postnatal nicotine exposure from 17 to 86 months on children's subsequent antisocial behaviour by the end of fourth grade. METHOD: Parents reported the amount of household smoke exposure (at 17, 41, 65 and 86 months) for all 2055 children from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development. Main outcome measures include teacher- and child-r…
School readiness and later achievement
We first replicated the data analytic strategy used in Duncan et al. (2007) with a population-based data set of French-speaking children from Quebec (Canada). Prospective associations were examined between cognitive, attention, and socioemotional characteristics underlying kindergarten school readiness and second grade math, reading, and general achievement. We then extended this school readiness model by including motor skills as an additional e…
