The First 1000 Days in the Nordic Countries: Psychosocial Interventions and Psychological Tests: A Review of the Evidence
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2021-037/ The report provides an overview and short systematic review of the psychosocial interventions and psychological tests used in the Nordic countries during the first 1000 days of a child’s life, i.e. from the prenatal period until two years of age. A total of 63 interventions and 33 tests were reviewed. Findings reveal that, although a large number of interventions and tests are available for the target groups in the Nordic countries, evidence regarding their effectiveness or psychometric properties is often lacking or insufficient. Thus, it is important that research efforts be enhanced in the Nordic region to strengthen the evidence-base of the interventions and instruments that practitioners rely upon in order to assess and support mental wellbeing for Nordic children and families during this critical period in their lives.

Mestrer, mestrer ikke
Norske kommuner begår lovbrudd i sin iver etter å kartlegge barnehagebarn. Barns personvern legges til side til fordel for argumenter om "barnets beste" og "tidlig innsats". Private og offentlige aktører går offensivt til verks overfor kommuner og barnehager for å selge kartleggingsmateriell og pedagogiske programmer. Mestrer, mestrer ikke. Jakten på det normale barnet viser den nye trenden med salgbare verktøy som har inntatt barnehagene. Boka avslører måleregimet som, i godhetens navn, innføres for å oppnå politisk og faglig prestisje - og for å tjene penger. Jakten på målbare verdier fører til en standardisering med "det normale barnet" som ideal. Som et alternativ til denne tendensen tar forfatterne til orde for å ha tillit.til førskolelærerne og sette demokratisk deltakelse, metodefrihet og mangfold i sentrum.

The First 1000 Days in the Nordic Countries: A Situation Analysis
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2020-051/ The First 1000 Days in the Nordic Countries is a Nordic collaborative project, launched as part of the 2019 Icelandic Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, with the aim to support healthy emotional development and good mental health during the first 1000 days of life (from conception to the age of two). The first phase involved a situation analysis in which extensive data was gathered from across the Nordic countries about practices to support wellbeing and identify early risk factors in prenatal care, infant and child healthcare and early childhood education and care. The results are presented in this report with detailed country profiles and a comparison across countries. Significant strengths and challenges are identified when it comes to supporting young children's wellbeing within the Nordic region and examples of good practice from each participating country are offered.
The Transactional Model of Development
Originally proposed in 1975, the transactional model has become central to our understanding of how nature and nurture interact in the development of positive and negative outcomes for children. Although scientists have long acknowledged that nature and nurture work together in producing particular developmental outcomes, such cooperation has been difficult to demonstrate because of inadequate conceptual models, experimental designs or statistical methodologies. This book documents the state-of-the-art research in developmental psychology for overcoming these inadequacies, and present new ideas for future work.
