Pros and cons of teens driving?
A pro to lowering the driving age to 16 years old is that drivers of this age will have more opportunities to have their driving skills monitored by a parent or responsible adult. A con is having drivers that are inexperienced and may or may not have achieved a level of maturity needed for responsible driving.
Why is it important to be objective when observing children?
If the observer is not objective, then the observations can be skewed. That's one reason why they do double-blind studies and the like. If the observers know what the study is about, even... then they will develop an opinion about what the results should be, and might interpret their observations in ways that will support the conclusions that they have arrived at prematurely. This is why you have so many studies supporting opposite viewpoints. If the tobacco company pays someone to do a study, then the conclusions of that study are more likely to be biased towards the source of the revenue, and hopefully continued revenue. The same thing is true with other issues... danger of cell phones for instance, or causes of autism. These are incredibly biased issues, and it is hard to find anything that is truly objective, especially when there is so much money to be gained on one side or the other, and so many chances of scaring the public or other things. It is imperative that observations be presented in the most objective way possible. History, even very recent history, is replete with examples of information being hidden or ridiculed by whoever has more power that day. Unfortunately, the scientific method almost always knuckles under to political pressure. Even the wording of a survey can bias the answers one way or another... just like the wording they use in marketing. You can make something seem cool or reprehensible, just by the way that you talk about it. If there is no objectivity in a study, then the results are in question.
What factors influence my development during adolescence?

Do spoiled children always get what they want?
- Spoiled children get 99% of what they want. If children are spoiled and get what whatever their little hearts desire and not made to earn any of it as they start to grow older they have many disappointments in life when reality takes hold that one has to work to get what they want and even if they do manage to get a good job they almost always live beyond their means which can cause great financial difficulties. These spoiled children who turn into spoiled adults have not been taught the responsibilities in life and often have no business sense; empathy for others or how to make friends without giving gifts or money to make friends. -Marcy
I know some people who always brag about all of the stuff they have. But know one really seems to like them that much. -Victoria McCombs
What time should a ten and a half year old go to bed?
- 10 month old children have 'nap times' once or twice a day and it is wise to be sure the child gets a lot of fresh air as it makes them sleepy. 10 month old children are generally in bed by 7:30 PM or 8 PM. Sometimes the parents may keep the child up a little longer so they can get another hours sleep if the child should be a very early riser.
You are a 10 year old boy how do you ask out a 10 year old girl?
like any other 10 year old would. See girls have sensitive feelings. When you ask her out say that's shes cute in the outfit shes wearing. then ask her out to the skating ring or movies but make the movie scary so you can hold her hand, and you go skating then hold her hand so she will not fall!
This will help because I'm a girl!<3 And Make sure If She Falls U Help Her Up And she looks in ur eyes and if ur at the movies and if it scary than the girl will put her head on ur shoulder and not watch

Make sure you are realistic consistent and supportive in your responses to children's behaviour?

Can a 6 year old foster child sleep in the room with the foster parents?
They could, but they are violating state law and could be arrested for rape.
Hold on! Yes you can sleep in the same bed but if you are referring to sex, absolutely not. That would be incest and stautory rape. The parent would go to prison.
Yes, they are related. Often a child who bullies learns the behavior at home. Children model what they live and see. Parent who bullies is an abuser and he/she learned this as a child as well. A child of a person who abuse others becomes the abuser later.
What are the Duties of a mother to children?
the duties is that a mother must always be the for the child and make sure he child is at a good stage or health
ANSWER 2:
The above answer is a good summary but i don't think that's what the person asking this question would need since its too vague and they can always be there for the child yet not knowing his/her need. From my winter class in development, I've learned that there are quite a lot of things that a mother needs to do for her child.
One thing is to encourage language growth and this can be done by:
-speaking to her child frequently
- naming objects of children's attention (associating words like calm, annoying to certain things)
- Using speech that is more grammatically sophisticated = a lot of parents like baby talking to their children, but this action should be discouraged since by doing so it will delay development of the children's sophisticated speech. what they will learn instead of proper speech is making funny sounding sounds like boo boo dada, etc. Instead of getting them out of that phase it really just delays them from moving on.
- reading to them stories
- encouraging watching programs with emphasis on learning new words = just leaving them in front of the television is not a good idea however. Just schedule a specific amount of time to let them watch per week. Recommendations for tv shows would be shows like sesame street that really puts emphasis on language and shows like Dora the explorer which encourages the viewers to participate.
This addition that i did is still but a small fraction of the duties of a mother and really just applies to babies up to young kids but is restricted to only the language growth part. There are still more additions to this if the aim is to really say all the duties of a mother to a children but ill leave that to others to add since ill be writing pages if i even try to list all of it. Not to mention, living is a life of learning, and no matter how much study i do, i would never in my life reach the point that ill know it all.
When a child begins to learn from culture, that child is still in need of mediation on the behalf of a trusted adult up until a certain age, which marks the zone of proximal development according to the social cognition learning theory put forth by Lev Vygotsky.
In short the zone of proximal development is the difference between what a child can do on his or her own and what a child can do with help.
At first, the trusted adult, either being a teacher, parent, etc... (but never a complete stranger whose place in the child's life is inappropriate), is needed to interact with the child and take on the responsibility of helping to guide the child in problem solving thinking until the day comes when it is finally time for the child to do so on his/her own with less and less to no involvement on behalf of this or these adult[s].
Therefore, the reason for why it would be a good thing to encourage positive relationships between children and adults would be to encourage dialectical processes, or problem solving experiences that further enhances conducive cognitive development. Yet, at the same time it is very important that a child can still differentiate between people that child can trust and complete strangers.
How many wet diapers should a toddler have a day?
Ideally this is a matter of judgement. However, going by experience, a toddler should not wear a diaper with more than 3 - 4 wettings at any cost. Hence, one should change her diaper about 3 - 4 times during the day and give her a fresh one just before she retires for the night.
How does play help children develop?
Play stimulates the child's brain to process and to react to different stimulus the child receives. By playing, a child will then learn how to process and make sense of what sensations he/she receives, whether it is by sight, sound, smell, taste or touch. Some ideas for play with can be found here: http://www.tiphub.com/ViewTopic.php?topicId=37
Can children have boyfriends at the age of 9?
I'm 9, and I really want a boyfriend. I just don't have any contact with boys because I'm home-schooled. My mom would call me boy-crazy, but that's just the kind of thing girls don't want to hear. So,..... go right ahead.
The first answer is a good illustration of why "boyfriends" and "girlfriends" at age 9 are a bad, bad, bad idea. At age 9 kids can play at being astronauts, gorillas, trees, or boyfriends and girlfriends but they are incapable of actually being any of those things since they lack the prerequisite properties. At age 9 they have only miniscule comprehension of the consequences of their actions have for others. Certainly they have no real understanding of the consequences of sexual relations. A few girls might have started puberty, but they are years and years removed from being able to understand and plan for taking responsibility for a baby. It will be years before they are expected to grasp the depth of sacrifice necessary to form a stable, mutually beneficial relationship with the opposite sex. A desire by a 9 year old girl to have a boyfriend is at best an immature "crush" and at worst a manifestation of a desire to act far older than she is without having the first clue what it really entails.

How an infant recognize parents?
I have a 3 week old baby boy,when he is crying and i pick him up he stops so i know i can comfort and sooth him but does he know that its mommy OS just someone elese holding him to calm him down?
Nothing is wrong with your 4 month old, judging solely the fact that he eats every 3 to 4 hours at 4 months old. If you want him to sleep trough the night, observe this: - How much is he eating during the day? Why not pump the milk and feed him with a bottle, so you know? Baby that eats enough during the day does not need to be fed during the night. - Do not sleep in the same room as the baby, because your smell is what wakes him up during the night to feed. - During the night, when he becomes fussy, offer him a pacifier and comfort him first, do not feed him right away. Wait a bit, if he goes back to sleep, let him. He will grow just as well, even if he passes 8 hours straight without feeding. But feed him if he starts to cry (the way you know it means "I am hungry.) My older daughter slept 8 hours straight from 3 weeks old. Sometimes, at the age of 3 months, she slept 10 hours straight. She was always on the 95th percentile curve. My son, now 6 months old, also very big for his age, manage that with 3 months old. They both sleep in their own bedroom and had/have 5 meals during the day. Or ask Dad to feed him during the night, as an alternative. Even if he has to work, feeding him once a day (at least) should be his duty and pleasure, because it's important for him and the baby to bond, and you can have at least 6 hours straight of sleep, each day.
Why do kids like the word poop?
There are a number of reasons why kids like words related to bowel movements. Freudian psychologists suggest that humans move from a feces obsession to a sexual obsession as they grow older. Young children are amazed by what their bodies do and the substances they secrete. Hair, earwax, eye matter, mucus, saliva, vomit, blood, scabs, pus, urine, and fecal matter are all curiosities and things that many children find intriguing.
We all as humans struggle with our contributions to the world, and many of us find delight in the things we create. As we get older, we learn more valuable skills that take our minds away from our bodies. Then we learn the value of relationships, and the feelings of sexuality emerge. So there is less of a need to talk about excrement.
Some adults still discuss excrement, and part of this is cultural. For instance, Germany may have more of a cultural emphasis on fecal matter, or at least they used to. Asking someone if they had a good bowel movement was once considered a polite matter of concern for others. A common gag gift from over that way is a chamber pot with the handle on the inside. That suggests you have to get your hands dirty to empty it. And common expressions that Americans use are actually more graphic when said in German. The vulgar phrase which means kissing the buttocks in English has a more vulgar counterpart in German which means the practice of anilingus.
Then there are people with senility and mental illness who seem to regress into an obsession with fecal matter. They may smear themselves with it or use it to "paint" the walls. It is like they are returning to a vulnerable, childlike state like during the first 2 years of life.
What can be done about Progresive Osification Fibrodisplasy?
Progressive Osseous Heteroplasia (POH) is a rare genetic condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissues. Currently, there is no cure or standardized treatment; management focuses on symptom relief and addressing complications. This may include physical therapy, pain management, and surgical interventions for functional issues. Ongoing research into gene therapy and targeted treatments holds promise for future advancements in managing this condition.
