Werner conducted a longitudinal study of children on the island of Kauai (the Garden Isle) in Hawaii. This study consisted of two objectives: to research the long-term effects of prenatal or perinatal stress and to record the early effects of educational adversity on the child's physical, cognitive and psychosocial development. To carry out this study he used a sample of 698 newborns out of 1963 live births. The study looked at these children at ages one, two, 10, 18, 31 and 32. She asked community members to take a census of women around the garden aged 12 and above to find out the number of pregnant women. women and ask non-pregnant women to notify them when they become pregnant. She obtained information about the mothers' postpartum period, when the children were between the ages of one and ten, from nurses and social workers. Nurses were tasked with observing women during each trimester of pregnancy if they were experiencing any difficulties, such as physical or emotional stress. Doctors were screened for any difficulties encountered during the prenatal phase, labor, delivery and neonatal phase. She enlisted pediatricians and psychologists to access the children's physical, intellectual and social development, while documenting whether any of the children had disabilities or behavioral problems. She and her colleagues also gave different tests such as aptitude, personality, etc. to elementary and high schools. Finally, they interviewed 18, 31 and 32 year olds to find out their outlook on life. In 1955, some children died due to exposure to prenatal or perinatal stress between birth and age two. 116 children were diagnosed with physical or mental difficulties at age two, and 142 children were left... middle of paper... their lives were as. They found that 86% of resilient children appeared to be doing well as adults, and compared to non-vulnerable children, they had a higher rate of reporting being happy. However, they recorded a high number of health problems such as dizziness, back problems for men and pregnancy and childbirth for women. Furthermore, other children in the vulnerable group reported significantly better outcomes than adolescents, such as returning to school, employment, etc. The study shows that children can grow up to become competent members of society even if born into impoverished environments and stressful situations as long as there is a balance between environment, stress and support. suggests early intervention programs and nurturing environments for children in vulnerable conditions to improve child development in the future.
