This NY Times article entitled "
Risks: More Woes for Preemies at Preschool Age" discusses recent research that reveals children who are born even 3 weeks early (37 weeks gestation) are at higher risk for behavioral and emotional disturbances. In fact, the effect was significantly more pronounced in girls than in boys. Why do you think this might occur? What other variables might play a role in premature birth and behavioral or emotional disturbances in children?
