  • Separation anxiety disorder risk is influenced by environmental and genetic factors.
  • Early chronic stress or trauma can impact brain development.
  • Causes of trauma include absent parents, erratic caregiving, abuse, neglect, violence, war, and disasters.
  • Nurses have a duty to report neglect, physical, or sexual abuse of children and assess the risk of repeat abuse.
  • Reactive Attachment Disorder is typically identified before the age of 5 and can lead to lifelong struggles with relationships.
  • Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder involves a blatant disregard for social inhibition and can affect up to 20% of children in high-risk populations.
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders involve significant delays or deficits in areas such as attention, cognition, language, affect, and social behaviors.
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by delayed language development and stereotypic behavior.
  • Nursing care for ASD focuses on building a positive relationship with the child and family and connecting them to assessment and early intervention support services.
  • Interventions for specific learning and communication disorders aim to build self-confidence and provide family support.
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is associated with functional impairments and may require psychoeducation, behavioural interventions, family support, and medication management.
  • Tourette's Disorder, a motor disorder, has a prevalence of 3 to 8 per 1,000 in school-aged children and is more common in boys. Treatment involves behavior therapy and alpha-2-adrenergic antagonists.
