Based on what I learned from my Life Span & Development Class, Piaget believed that children learn about themselves as well as their environment from birth to about 2 years of age. It is anywhere between Piaget's Sensorimotor and Pre-operational stage. During these stages, which occur in early infancy, the child begins to learn and understand that he is separate from his environment; such as, his parents continue to exist even though they may be out of sight or reach. During the pre-operational stage (infant-7 years of age), children begin to use natural words, body outlines, and equipment which gives him an active role in learning. Hence, your child still has time to learn how to point. Speak to a doctor if it worries and hopefully, they can give you the reassurance that you need.
How do you know if your newborn is hearing okay?
When a baby is newborn they will often startle. That's how you now they can hear ok. Does your baby startle? As they get a little older, they should start responding to your voice.
Usually when the child is born, the hospital will do a newborn hearing test. They usually write that on your discharge papers, it will say (newborn hearing test). And it will say : PASS or Needs further screening.
If you would like to do your own test, get something crinkly, and have it make a sound, out of the child's line of vision. If he/she doesn't acknowledge the sound, see a doctor.
The Baby begins to hear their surrounding from the time they were in the womb. They can hear the Mother's heartbeat and external voices, such as his family members. Once the baby is born, the begin to exercise one of eight reflexes, such as Babinksi, Moro, Palmar, etc. During the Moro Reflex, the infant begins to respond to unexpected loud noise by startling if the infant hears a bark or the sound of the vacuum cleaner. They are four distinct ways to find out if your newborn is able to hear normally; they startle, spread out their arms, un-spreading of arms, and most importantly crying. Pay attention to how closely your baby listens when you are talking to them in a calm and soothing voice.Primary health care (PHC) refers to essential health care services that are provided at the most basic level of the healthcare system and are typically the first point of contact for individuals seeking care.

Importance of primary health care?
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but there are three types of health promotion: Primary deals with keeping people from getting disease or injury such as offering free condoms or increasing traffic control near schools. Other examples are offering education on good nutrition and keeping water sources clean. Here we assume no one has the problem and we aim to keep it that way. Secondary health promotion refers to trying to keep the diseased population from spreading. AIDs or diabetic testing to know who has the disease is a good example. Here we assume some people have the problem and we want to find out who so we can try to control it. Tertiary health occurs in helping a person who has a disease or injury to minimize the problems for the individual and to teach them ways to protect others if necessary. Here we know who has the disease and we try to help the patient deal with it.

babies does eat soft foods because they don't have teeth yet to be able to grined the hard foods. they jsut eat soft foods for their gums not to wounded by hard foods and also babies do usually just taste the food they ate and don't even grind it it just only melts in their mouth and when it is already soft they can already swallow it the natural way without any harm for them that's why babies eats on like biscuites like Marie and cereal like cerelac mashed potatoes squash or carrots.
What are signs of Asperger's syndrome in 3 year olds?
The related question "What are signs of Asperger's Syndrome?" has a list of characteristics associated with Asperger's Syndrome - many of which are also associated with autism. It is often easier to diagnose autism at age 3 than Asperger's Syndrome at age 3, but the conditions have many traits in common.

At the age of three, atypical language use, social interaction, and play could be noticeable. Unusual or avoidant eye contact could have been apparent before age three. Sensory issues, such as oversensitivity or undersensitivity to touch or sounds, could have been an issue since the child was born. A preference for routine, such as the same food, same drinking glass, same chair, same play area, could become more noticeable as the child ages and voices his or her preferences (or distress over the change). You also might notice repetitive behaviors.

Why is your 10 year old so grumpy?
If the child is going through puberty, mood shifts are to be expected. So try to talk and explain things to him/her.
Answer
If the child is now in middle school, the change in environment may be taking a toll on the child's better nature. It is stressful dealing with class changes, hormones and trying to learn. Make sure that the child is getting enough rest and quiet time at home as well as enough exercise (soccer? Swimming?) and a balanced diet. TV, phone and computer games should not be done the last part of the day. Watch for learning problems and get help early. If the child is unwilling to do homework, it may be that there is something that is not understood--keep in touch with the teachers and take the child to tutoring if homework is not being completed. Give the child lots of hugs and let him know you love him.

What causes a child to have odor under one arm?
Body odor from the armpits is formed from the bacteria living in the moist, mostly dark area under the arm. It is not at all unusual to have a disparity in the amount or character of the odor from left side to right. In early puberty, it happens sometimes that one armpit is stinkier than the other. As the child grows older, some of the bacteria are transferred from one arm to the other through wash cloths or use of deodorant.

Do children with autism like to watch television?
Their interests are as diverse as those of children without autism. You will have to meet the child and find out.
One thing that's unique about autistic children's interests is that they are often unusually strong--for example, a youngster fascinated with a TV show to the point that he watches videos of it over and over; or a teenager who is fascinated with Paris, France and has learned its history, geography, and layout to the point that he knows more than most tour guides.
These strong interests can often become bridges to friendship or even routes to employment.

How do immunization work to prevent infectious disease?
Vaccines are important tools that help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. A vaccine is a substance introduced into the body to stimulate the production of chemicals that destroy specific viruses or bacteria. A vaccine may be made from dead or altered viruses or bacteria. Because they are dead or altered, the viruses or bacteria in the vaccine do not cause disease. Instead, they activate the body's natural defenses. In effect, the vaccine puts the body "on alert." If that virus or bacterium ever invades the body, it is destroyed before it can cause disease. You may have been vaccinated against diseases such as polio, measles, tetanus, and chickenpox.
