	The Etiology and Treatment of Childhood
		Childhood is a syndrome which has only recently begun to receive serious attention from clinicians.
		The growing acceptance of childhood as a distinct phenomenon is reflected in the proposed inclusion of the syndrome in the upcoming Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, or DSM-IV, of the American Psychiatric Association (1990).
		Faced with this failure and the growing epidemic of childhood, mental health professionals are devoting increasing attention to the treatment of childhood.

	Childhood Cancer

		Among all age groups, the most common childhood cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer.
		Typically, the factors that trigger cancer in children are usually not the same factors that may cause cancer in adults, such as smoking or exposure to environmental toxins.

	Childhood Obesity
		Although childhood obesity is often defined as a weight-for-height in excess of 120 percent of the ideal, skinfold measures are more accurate determinants of fatness (Dietz, 1983; Lohman, 1987).
		In addition to increasing the risk of obesity in adulthood, childhood obesity is the leading cause of pediatric hypertension, is associated with Type II diabetes mellitus, increases the risk of coronary heart disease, increases stress on the weight-bearing joints, lowers self-esteem, and affects relationships with peers.
		As with adult-onset obesity, childhood obesity has multiple causes centering around an imbalance between energy in (calories obtained from food) and energy out (calories expended in the basal metabolic rate and physical activity).

	Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
		This reluctance to accept childhood sexuality is somewhat ironic, because Freudian theory, with its concepts of psychosexual stages (oral, anal, phallic, and latency), penis envy, the Oedipus/Electra complexes, repression, and the unconscious, has been immensely popular in the United States throughout much of the twentieth century.
		However, the notion that a “sexualized” childhood is a tragic outcome of sexual abuse rests on the American premise that childhood should be devoid of sexuality.
		This may be due to the impression that the homosocial networks of middle childhood reflect a lack of sexual interest, and to the fact that many Americans prefer to believe that childhood is a period of sexual innocence.

	SEP: The Philosophy of Childhood
		The philosophy of childhood has recently come to be recognized as an area of inquiry analogous to the philosophy of science, the philosophy of history, the philosophy of religion, and the many other "philosophy of" subjects that are already considered legitimate areas of philosophical study.
		According to this conception, a human child is an immature specimen of the organism type, human, which, by nature, has the potentiality to develop into a mature specimen with the structure, form, and function of a normal or standard adult.
		Others have to do with child custody cases, in which, not just the best interest of the child, but the expressed preference of the child, say, to remain with a guardian rather than return to the custody of a parent might be the issue before a family court.

	Amazon.com: Childhood: Books: Nathalie Sarraute (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Childhood is a dialogue with memory, a merciless coaxing of memory into images and then into refractions of images, until memory is stripped of sentiment and becomes something close to sensation itself.
		What emerges is still a story: the childhood of a young girl living in the first half of the twentieth century who divides her time between her divorced parents in Russia and France.
		Read this not to learn of her childhood memories, but to hear her teach us what are the building blocks of memory.

	Childhood revisited
		People often muse why childhood today seems different than it was when they were young–when a free day meant they ran out the door after breakfast and played until twilight.
		Indeed, in an effort to understand the factors that drive today's childhood play and environmental interactions and the social and developmental implications of these transformations, Hart is completing a longitudinal study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)–a project that started as his dissertation research 30 years ago.
		He plans to use his findings as a springboard for completing a more global picture of how childhood is changing and to try to prompt other communities to reflect on the changing nature of childhood as a way of improving their urban and community planning.
