Recent theoretical work suggests that bullying might arise out
of early cognitive deficits — including language problems, imperfect causal understanding, and poor inhibitory control — that lead to decreased competence with peers, which over time develops into bullying.14, 15 A
small number of studies provide circumstantial evidence that such a hypothesis might have merit7: 1 study found a link between poor early cognitive stimulation and (broadly defined) inappropriate
school behavior, 16 and another found cognitive stimulation at age 3 years to be protective against symptoms
of attention - deficit disorder at age 7 years.17 A study
of Greek children found that academic self - efficacy and deficits in social cognition were related to bullying behavior.18 A large US national survey found that those who perceive themselves as having average or below - average academic achievement (as opposed to
very good achievement) are 50 % to 80 % more likely to be bullies.8 Yet these studies are based on cross-sectional surveys, with the variables all measured at a single point in time.
By
school entry, 43 — 47 %
of Aboriginal children have markers
of developmental vulnerability.12, 13 In 2009, the first - ever national census
of childhood development at
school entry showed that Aboriginal children were 2 — 3 times more likely than non-Aboriginal children to be developmentally vulnerable — defined as an Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) score below the 10th centile — on one or more domains.14 The Longitudinal Survey
of Australian Children reported similar disparities for cognitive outcomes among Aboriginal children aged 4 — 5 years, although the
number of Aboriginal children was
very small and not representative
of the Aboriginal population.15 There is currently a dearth
of empirical research that identifies the drivers
of positive early childhood health and development in Aboriginal children, or characterises vulnerable developmental trajectories.
