What are the physical needs of children?
Some of the most basic physical needs for children are food, shelter, clothing, and exercise. It doesn't really stop there though.
"Food" can be anything, but it takes a nutritious diet and regular meal times to provide for the real needs in this area. Regular meal times and proper diet promote healthy eating now and later in life.
Providing shelter is important, but also taking the necessary precautions to be sure it is a safe, smoke free, fume free, warm, clean, and healthy environment is just as important as the roof they live under.
Same goes for clothing. Every season is different. You can't really say "I provide my children with the basic need of clothes" if you're making them wear shorts in the middle of winter. It's important to make sure they have adequate clothing for the weather as well.
Exersise is a biggie. More and more kids are spending time watching TV or playing video games while their parents work or whatever else it is they might be doing. Kids need to get outside. They need to hop, skip, jump, run, walk, and anything else you can think up to get their bodies moving. It's sad how many kids don't get the exercise they need nowadays. More and more are becoming obese and to top it off (even if there may be no signs of significant weight gain) kids are showing early signs of heart problems. It's not more than a rare ocassion that a child has a heart attack, but what about later in life? Get them moving so they don't have one when they're 30!
Which brings me to another basic need. Medical care. It's important that children receive vaccinations on time and have regular check-ups. It's a great start to a healthy life!
I'm no expert and I'm sure there are many other things that others can add or revise, but it's a start. Hope this helps.
What is holistic development in a child?
Holistic development is looking at the child as a whole and an individual child. Rather than breaking up development into 'sections' and grouping children together as all the same. =]

Why does your 2 month old daughter keep sticking her tongue out?
Your? I dont have one :l, but if your talking about your daughter, maybe its a habit they have learnt, or they kep doing it to annoy you AHA!!!!!
Answer
It seems to be one of those developmental things. It is almost like they "find" their tongue and practice about that age. No worries!
Geez lady, you are a worry wart. For a baby everything is all new so let them experiment with their body, or else they wouldn`t be moving at all!

What age does pre teen ends and teen begains?
Pre-teen is ten to twelve. Once 'teen' is in the number (13) you are in your teens.
Should you go to school today?
Yes you should. Education is important to human beings on earth so they can get a good job that pays well. And it also depends on how you are feeling. If you are feeling ill or if you are in pain then it is best to stay home. Other than that, you should not play hoodie saying you don't feel good and stay home. I don't think any body would want to be stupid with a job at McDonald's until they are 50 so if you don't want to be one of these people it is best to go to school.
How much is a 2 year old supposed to sleep?
It all depends on your child's age. Charts that list the hours of sleep likely to be required by an infant or a 2-year-old may cause concern when individual differences aren't considered. These numbers are simply averages reported for large groups of children of particular ages.
There's no magical number of hours required by all kids in a certain age group. Two-year-old Sarah might sleep from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM, whereas 2-year-old Johnny is just as alert the next day after sleeping from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Still, sleep is very important to a child's well-being. The link between a child's lack of sleep and his or her behavior isn't always obvious. When adults are tired, they can either be grumpy or have low energy, but kids can become hyper, disagreeable, and have extremes in behavior.
Most kids' sleep requirements fall within a predictable range of hours based on their age, but each child is a unique individual with distinct sleep needs. Here are some approximate numbers based on age, accompanied by age-appropriate pro-sleep tactics.
