First, fathers» interactive play during toddlerhood has been longitudinally associated with attachment security in later childhood and adolescence.17 Second, fathers» speech and language interactions with infants have been positively associated with language development, and paternal depression has been shown to adversely impact this process.18, — , 20 Third, discipline practices, such as corporal punishment, have been longitudinally associated with increased child aggressive behavior.21 In addition, paternal depressive symptoms have been longitudinally associated with harsh paternal discipline practices in older children and subsequent child and adolescent maladjustment.11 Finally, as an indicator of fathers» interactions with pediatric providers, we also examined the proportion of depressed fathers that reported talking with their children's doctor within the previous year.

Thus, it is not surprising that breastfeeding has been consistently associated with improved central nervous system development, as indicated by improved visual acuity in relationship to formula - fed infants.4 Second, both biological properties and differences in maternal - infant interactions during the feeding process can lead to improved motor and intellectual development outcomes.5, 6 Third, breastfeeding appears to be protective against the onset of childhood obesity, 7 a condition that has enormous psychosocial consequences for children.

One theory of autistic savantism suggests that during fetal development or early in life, some developmental abnormality affects the brain's left side, resulting in the difficulties that many autistic people have with words and social interaction, functions typically processed by the left hemisphere.

We contend that childhood temperament shapes the manner in which individuals perceive their surroundings, which influences their social interactions in a reciprocal manner and eventual social and mental health outcomes.17 This dynamic is particularly evident in early adolescence during which the emergence of the peer group as a more salient influence on development coincides with sharp increases in psychopathology, 16 particularly SAD.6, 15,18 Temperament also shapes vital cognitive processes, such as attention and certain executive processes which provide the foundation from which children perceive and respond to social cues in the environment.

Advances in neuroscience have revealed that the process of brain development is driven by a dynamic interaction between the genome (nature) and the environment (nurture).25 Epigenetic mechanisms like DNA methylation and histone acetylation are able to transduce experiences with the environment into long - lasting, even intergenerational changes in gene expression.26 — 35 So although the inherited genetic program is thought to provide a general blueprint for brain architecture, the environment is able to influence which genes are used, when they are used during the course of development, and where they are used within the developing brain.

The potential importance of «dyadic» and body - based approaches such as infant massage have also been emphasised by developments in the field of infant mental health that have focused attention on the importance of dyadic states of consciousness (Tronick 2007), and parent - infant communication as a bi-directional, moment - to - moment process occurring across multiple modalities (Beebe 2010), in addition to the importance of whole - body kinaesthetic patterns during parent - infant interactions (Shai 2011).

Given their typical age of onset, a broad range of mental disorders are increasingly being understood as the result of aberrations of developmental processes that normally occur in the adolescent brain.4 — 6 Executive functioning, and its neurobiological substrate, the prefrontal cortex, matures during adolescence.5 The relatively late maturation of executive functioning is adaptive in most cases, underpinning characteristic adolescent behaviours such as social interaction, risk taking and sensation seeking which promote successful adult development and independence.6 However, in some cases it appears that the delayed maturation of prefrontal regulatory regions leads to the development of mental illness, with neurobiological studies indicating a broad deficit in executive functioning which precedes and underpins a range of psychopathology.7 A recent meta - analysis of neuroimaging studies focusing on a range of psychotic and non-psychotic mental illnesses found that grey matter loss in the dorsal anterior cingulate, and left and right insula, was common across diagnoses.8 In a healthy sample, this study also demonstrated that lower grey matter in these regions was found to be associated with deficits in executive functioning performance.

Our results shed new light on a potential mechanism (i.e., perceptions of behavioral norms among peers) that may explain the consistently identified association between micro-time processes of deviancy training during peer interactions and the macro-time development of various problem behaviors during adolescence and young adulthood (e.g., Dishion, Capaldi, et al., 1995, Dishion et al., 1997; Patterson et al., 2000).

Evidence for the importance of distinguishing between a more normative versus a more deviant character of communication between peers comes from a significant body of research on processes of deviancy training (i.e., rule - breaking talk and reinforcement thereof) during peer interactions in micro-time (i.e., over the course of seconds, minutes, or hours) and the link with the development of problem behaviors in macro-time (i.e., across years; Patterson, Dishion, & Yoerger, 2000; Wachs, 2015).
