Child Development

i wouldn't be worried about it, at her time in life she'll be hearing lots of new sentences and words and stuff,she probably cant think of what to say-and even if she did develop a stutter,why would you be so upset?

The black snake represents something your 3 year-old fears. It is possible that your child has seen television shows with black snakes presented in a scary way that triggered the nightmare. On a more symbolic level, your child's mind uses the image of the snake to represent something else that causes the child anxiety. This could be as simple as a friend's pet snake or as complex as fears related to bowel control, with the stool seen in the shape of a snake. More important than any interpretation of the snake's symbolism is your child's need for assurance of safety, reassurance of your approval and delight in his accomplishments.

My child also saw snakes at night for awhile. Pick him up, give him a drink of water, and put him back in bed, tucking him in. Usually, that is all it takes. I think 3 and 4 year olds commonly have dreams that awaken them.

clearly because the child is still using dippers, the parent forgot to put an underware on the child or the parent is a complete lunatic

With the changes in what kids use for entertainment, sometimes taking away their electronic devices is the only form of punishment that can work in certain situations. In fact, even Fathers, Aunts, Uncles etc may use this form of punishment as well.

Yes, s/he should weigh around 4 and a half stones (66lbs, 30 kilos). S/he needs the help of a doctor/nutritionist and possibly a counsellor to find out why s/he is overeating. Being this overweight at such a young age leads to type 2 diabetes, heart disease and osteoarthritis at a much younger age than they are usually seen. Excess weight makes her/him a target for bullying, which of leads to comfort beahviour (overeating) and a vicious circle. my daughter is seven and shes 6 stone the doctor said to me if your daughter is 7 and her weight is hevier than 4 stone they are obise but just starve her

Yes.

It is disrespectful for a 7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, or 107 year old person to "talk back" or "cop an attitude" with anyone at anytime.

What kind of environment are they living in?

How good is their diet?

Will they have any diseases, broken bones?

How good is their posture?

Seriously, there is no way to tell. Any answer would be a wild guess. ■

Primary health care is care at the most basic and general level. Some examples of this might be when you go to the doctor because you are not feeling well, or getting treatment for a cut that looks infected.

They do because they feel like their dad is there and understands everything they do unlike moms .. I'm in that situation

Twins don't really hate each other they just hate the fact that they don't feel unique by having a person looking just like them and people don't see pass that. Some twins actually like that they look alike because they like to confuse people in sort of a little "mirror game".

In the end twins are normal siblings that have there rivalries now and then but actually love each other.

Give the child more time to become accustomed to the potty. Try a reward system (something small like a cookie or cracker) for peeing in the potty and explain that the same works for poop in the potty, too, but not for poop in the diaper. Maybe after a while if they poop in their nappy give them a time out for not doing what they are supposed to do.

I am 13, 5'3 and weigh 104 lbs. my waist is 29 inches (74-5 cms, I believe). I dont think this is fat.

no

interesting question, probably at most 30 months, because by two many know how to talk to ask for things.

They should only not be potty trained if they have some case of mental retardation. By the age of 8 they can fully comprehend other people. By this time they should figure out that going to the bathroom is normal and should know how to do this. It could be either a boy or a girl. The age for being un-potty trained should be about 6 years old. If they are 14 and aren't potty trained they should wear teen diapers (flat or unnoticable ones to not be made fun of) and to learn how to change the diaper and whip themselves properly if in school or public restrooms or even at someone else's home.

a 16 year old should go to bed no later than 12.00 oclock

about 10 at night. i think about 10:30 I think about 12:00 pm.

Interactionist

I would play games that limit or highlight one sense at a time.

Maybe a box with new things in it that they can feel and not see. You might have them draw what they feel.

Make trip through the spice rack while blind folded.

Play two or more songs at once and have them name the songs.

Sit in a park and watch for animals, have a contest to see who can find five animals first.

Spend a day with earplugs and earmuffs to simulate being as deaf as possible. Maybe learn some American Sign Language while you're at it.

It would most likely cry.

It's a historic term for diabetes.

NO! It might be cute when they are 2 yrs. old, but 8 yrs old is really not appropriate. He should be taught modesty and appropriate toilet habits.

Babies can survive cardiac arrest, but there are degrees of "survival" that will vary greatly depending on how long the child was in arrest before resuscitation efforts were started, and how quickly the heart started to beat on it's own again. It also depends on what the condition of the child was prior to the cardiac arrest. If the child was mostly healthy, and suffered the arrest during a near drowning, for example, then as long as the child was quickly resuscitated, they have a chance for a full recovery. If there are underlying conditions, or disease pathologies that make the child prone to arrest and the complications thereof, the outcome may be more dire.

Try asking them what they like to do then get them involved in doing that activity with other kids their age. Like if they like to swim bring them to the beach or YMCA or local pool. If the kid seems to be more comfortable working by themselves, don't force them into being with the other kids.
