Abstract

Since it is the number of premature infants has increased in recent years, it has become pertinent to study how consequences are presented in pre-school children, being that it is an age of quite a few changes in their life. Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the behavioral profile of a group of very low weight and low weight children and to explore a relationship between this profile and biological and environmental risk factors. Procedures and participants: Two instruments, a Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and a Ruth Griffiths Developmental Scale (EDMRG), were used to obtain the role and experimental experiences of children. A sample comprised of 16 children, 9 of whom were female and 7 were males. Results: As children free of normative values, take on the role of work and develop. In relation to children less than 100gr and over 100gr, it was possible to observe that there is no association with externalization problems. Regarding the parents' qualifications, profession and age, there is no association with behavioral problems.
