How Old Are Babies Usually When They Start Playing With Their Feet?

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I’m just enjoying my son, he is 3 months old and ever since he was 2 months he has been in love with his toes. He gets excited if he can reach them and try to put them in his mouth. I thought babies did that older, but he was rolling over at 1 month. I have 4 other kids and he seems to be doing things faster than they did….except holding up his head, they all did it at 2 months and he’s still a bit floppy.
How old are most babies when they find their feet?

How To Stop The Surge In Childhood Obesity In Its Tracks

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

The prevalence of obesity in minors is increasing in the United States. Childhood obesity is rounded at a critical stage as approximately 15.3% of children aged between 6 and 11 and 15.5% of adolescents ages 12 to 19 are overweight, and an additional 15% children and 14.9% adolescents are at risk for overweight.
Childhood obesity is on the rise and the victims are all at risk to developing Type II Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and other obesity-related diseases at a very young age. So early in their development stage and their life expectancy already becomes predetermined limited. And at their short lifespan their memories are crammed with insults, bullying, and destruction of self-esteem. What could be the reason for their mishap?
The reason for this is two-fold. First is the genetic-factor adding to the vulnerability for childhood obesity and second and most notably, the passing-down of poor lifestyle and eating habits.
Sorry to say but the current age is made up of digital generation kids spellbound by inactive indoor entertainment and fast food convenience. Surrounded by computers, video games, and the television, children are hard to pull from the couch to have a healthy and worthwhile physical activity outdoors. And even when they eat it’s difficult to keep them from sweet and fat-saturated snacks impossible for them to burn-off.
Finally when they go to school the bad custom is enforced ever more as virtually all kids do the same. The result, widespread childhood obesity. So what should the parent do?
Not to be obese themselves is one. Yet childhood obesity is such a serious condition that efforts of providing a good example through proper nutrition and efficient exercise at home still requires established guidelines that will help parents and school-systems make significant changes against the problem.
These weight-health guidelines are crucial to educate all children about the perils and reality of childhood obesity and encourage them to participate in all efforts dealing with the issue. Encouragement of children to eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise shall produce results rather than futile if the health measures are imposed. Parents need to ensure their children about the importance of choosing healthy habits. Yet, they also need to make the assurance that such healthy alternatives are available.
Concerned individuals should keep with the USDA The Prescription for Change And Healthy School Nutrition Environments. School canteen meals should comply with nutritional standards and guidelines, while providing plenty of food choices and introducing new foods to keep the menu healthy and interesting; additional vending machines and packaged snacks should represent the 5-major food groups in the Food Guide Pyramid; students should have designated mid-day lunch periods at a healthy environment; and all decisions made by the school-system regarding student consumption should be based on nutritional goals and guidelines, and not on profit.
Efforts should also include education and information on healthy eating habits as well as active school activity programs for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12.

Info On ADHD - How Much Do We Really Know ?

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

If I told you that by prescribing a medicine for your child which could lead (and sometimes does!) to substance abuse, then wouldn’t you think again? Of course you would! Ritalin and Dexedrine which are drugs prescribed for millions of ADHD kids across the USA are often called Schedule II drugs and that means they are in the same category as cocaine and other recreational drugs. It also means that they have a high potential for abuse. While these medicines, properly prescribed can help children with ADHD, other info on ADHD is often not mentioned.

For example, other children and teenagers, if they find that a child is on one of these psychostimulants, they will also pester them to sell them any they have left over. I know a girl who was approached by quite a few of her classmates at a high school when they found out she was on Adderall. At that time, they were fetching up to $2 a tablet. Doctors, teachers and parents someimes forget that, although there is a lot of free ADHD info on the Net, certain ADHD problems are swept under the carpet.

What do we really know about ADHD ? Not much ! We do not know what causes ADHD or indeed if it is purely genetic or hereditary. We have not yet found a satisfactory means of treating ADHD except by prescribing pills.

In the third millennium, medical authorities, doctors and psychologists seem to be waking up from a very long sleep. They have finally understood that giving pills is not the answer but rather teaching skills. The work of Gregory Fabiano who won a distinguished White House award for his work on ADHD, is finally impacting on the info on ADHD. Together with William Pelham a renowned expert on ADHD, their work shows unequivocably that ADHD behaviour therapy or very simply put, parenting skills, will have a greater impact and a much more positive effect than any pills will have.

Other studies show without a shadow of doubt that parental support with effective parenting skills will have a much more positive effect on an ADHD child. A UK study published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that the children who had more contact with their grandparents had a much less troubled childhood and showed few symptoms of ADHD such as inappropriate behaviour, behaviour disorders in general and were much better at social skills both with peers and teachers.

All the experts now tell us that the key to info on ADHD treatment is to take a comprehensive approach which may include medication of some kind, behavioural interventions like ADHD behaviour therapy. School support, diet and exercise will make up the rest of the equation. As regards medication, we know that an ADHD homeopathic cure will have no side effects or risks for the child’s health. This sort of free ADHD info is becoming more widely available although there is a long way to go.
