    Auxology of Sri Lankan children, age 5 to 18 years 1.. height, weight and growth increments
    (Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1989) Amarasinghe, S.; Wikramanayake, T.W.
    Height and weight of 8,610 children, age 5 to 18 years, have been measured and their height and weight increments calculated. Differences in height and weights of the two major ethnic groups, Sinhalese and tamils were not significant. There were marked differences due to varying socio-ecomic-educational levels, especially in the age groups 5 to 10 years . There has been marked secular change in heights and weights during the past 50 years, the increase being more marked among the lower socio-economic groups than among the affluent.

    Patental disciplinary strategies. experience of 12 year old school children
    (University of Colombo. Colombo, 2004) De Zoysa, P.; Rajapakse, L.; Newcombe, P.A.
    The purpose of the study was to explore the non-violent and violent parental disciplinary strategies experienced by 12 -year old sinhala speaking school children, by using the sinhala version of the parent -child conflict tactics scale (CTSPC). One hundred and eleven children with a relatively equal number of boys and girls, from two conveniently located schools in the Gampaha district took part in the study. The CTSPC was administered in groups of approximately 20 children. Non-violent discipline was the most commonly reported disciplinary type (annual rat 56%; lifetime rate 68%), followed by psychological aggression (annual rate 40%; lifetimerate 46%). Though physically abusive acts were the least commonly experienced (annual rate 15%; lifetime rate 23%) it was nevertheless reported by a considerable number of children. The results indicate that a relatively large percentage of children experience psychological and physical violenct at home. The results also suggest that parents may resort to physically abusive acts when "normal" violent disciplinary encounters escalate beyond their control. larger scale studies determining the prevalence and correlates of parental use of violent discipline need to be carried out in order to design culturally appropriate preventive intervention programmes aimed at combating child- directed violence in Sri Lanka.
