Children glued to screens show alarming developmental delays
In an open-access study of over 2,400 children, just published in JAMA Pediatrics, Professor Sheri Madigan and her colleagues found that the more time young children spend glued to screens, the worse their score on tests of cognitive and emotional development (the widely-used ‘Ages and Stages Questionnaire,’ or ASQ-3).

The Benefits of Playing Music Help Your Brain More Than Any Other Activity
Science has shown that musical training can change brain structure and function for the better. It can also improve long-term memory and lead to better brain development for those who start at a young age. Furthermore, musicians tend to be more mentally alert, according to new research from a University of Montreal study.

‘He was cold as ice’: Hundreds of children die each year with no explanation. Their parents are pushing for answers.
Sudden unexplained death in childhood, or SUDC, is defined as the death of a child age 1 to 18 — though most are toddlers — without a known cause, even after an autopsy and investigation by doctors, and sometimes police and child-welfare officials. These children are older than the 12-month age cutoff for sudden infant death, typically referred to as SIDS, and have outgrown the risk of suffocating in their sleep, a factor in sudden death in younger infants.
Now, parents, researchers and other advocates are looking for answers. They are pushing for federal legislation that would fund SUDC research and improve how these deaths are classified and investigated. Researchers say the first step is to come up with an accurate count of these deaths, with the hope of someday finding common links. That could not only provide answers to devastated families, but also offer lifesaving measures similar to the safe sleep campaigns credited with lowering SIDS rates across the country.

Recreational marijuana in Colorado: What the numbers say about health, safety and tax dollars
A bill to legalize recreational marijauna in Illinois needs only the signature of Gov. J.B. Pritzker to become law. Colorado has had legal recreational marijuana since 2014. The Colorado Division of Criminal Justice last year came out with an analysis of the effects of the state’s legalization of retail sales of marijuana since it went into effect in 2014. It found teen use had not increased, but hospital visits and fatal accidents associated with marijuana use increased. The authors cautioned that many factors can influence the statistics in the report, including people’s willingness to admit marijuana use now that it’s legalized in the state. Here is a rundown of some of the major findings.
