The Social Competence of Children Born Prematurely: Effects of Medical Complications and Parent Behaviors.

Landry, Susan H.; And Others

Child Development, v61 n5 p1605-16 Oct 1990

Findings suggest that social difficulties that are present as late as three years of age in some low-birthweight children are related to the type and severity of early medical complications. In spite of severe neonatal medical risk, high-risk and low-birthweight children showed many similarities in their social development to low-risk and full-term children. (RH)
