What else can I help you with?
Can prematurity birth affect puberty?
Only if the premature birth was enough to affect developmental or other functions in the child.
Can you spin a child if they are prone to seizures?
If that is likely to trigger their seizures, then definitely not and it is probably not a good idea anyway. Different people have different triggers for their seizures and some people are worse than others in terms of how bad their seizures are and how often they get them. It is not a good idea to wrap a child in cotton wool just because they have an illness, but you do need to apply common sense to situations. A parent knows their child well and the child, once old enough and responsible enough, will know their limitations too, so it really is on a case by case basis as to how you deal with a child who gets seizures or has some other health condition that may affect what they can do.
Can you get held back in preschool if a child is not meeting developmental milestones"?
Yes, a child can be held back in preschool if they are not meeting developmental milestones.
What are developmental needs?
Developmental needs are something which we grow up with. For example, a young child may be diagnosed with Autism from an early age. This is a developmental disorder as the child developes through life with this disorder. As the child gets older, the disorder may get worse. Some developmental needs may be needed for that child to live a happy life with the disorder.
What is a developmental checklist?
A developmental checklist helps you keep track of those developmental steps/tasks for your child, during the critical 18 years of live. And it helps you verify that your child is not showing any possible developmental warning-signs. If you follow a developmental checklist you will have at your fingertips a complete report about your child's progress. You can see exactly how your child is progressing through the normal developmental stages. You can see task by task how your child is progressing. And, you can see specifically any possible developmental warning-signs.
What are absent seizures?
Absent seizures are mini seizures that usually occur in kids from 7-14ish. They are sometimes mistaken for ADD and unlike regular seizures, they do not usually cause any long term damage. Basically, the child will just have no idea what is going on for 20-30 seconds. Absent seizures are extremely under-diagnosed because, like what was said before, if the child turns out to be negative for ADD, doctors will usually not check for absent seizures and the child will just be known to 'zone out'.

Can attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medications cause seizures?
Yes, if the child has seizures prior to taking medication, they will not be prescribed stimulants. If there is a family history of seizures, the doctor will take a precaution before prescribing medication.
What are the key milestones to look for in child developmental stages by age?
Key milestones to look for in child developmental stages by age include physical growth, language development, cognitive skills, social and emotional development, and motor skills. These milestones can vary slightly from child to child, but generally follow a predictable pattern as children grow and develop. It is important for parents and caregivers to monitor these milestones to ensure that children are progressing appropriately in each area of development.
