A goal would be breaking the "alphabet-code". To be able to make the sound connected to each letter, and to "sound" read small words like cat, dog etc. But a lot of kids don't get there 'till the second or even third grade, so don't panic if your first grader doesn't get there right away!
How do you make a decision with very little information?

How does adolescence prepare a person for adulthood?
Adolescence is viewed as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood. As the child is given more responsibilities, they learn new ways to deal with life. They've learned a lot in school, both from books and fellow students and are finally old enough to start making their own decisions, yet with the guidance of their parents.
What can be done to speed up a child's development?
Most children progress at a normal rate for themselves. Keep track of the skills the child should have by incremental stages of development. My pediatrician had a list of developmental milestones. (there is a link to one attached) If your child is not keeping up, find some fun activities to help them develop the skills. It shouldn't be work for the child to learn best. Also spending alot of time with the child nurturing and showing them love will help them to thrive in what they do, if they know and feel that you believe in them and love them then this will encourage the child to work harder. Therefore the child will achieve more.
How can you support a child who is confused about their sexuality?
If the child has not yet hit puberty, chances are there is someone or something out there that is making them question it. This, while not unhealthy, is really not relevant to the child yet, and you should try to take steps to remove that person/thing that is troubling them with this issue. If they have hit puberty this is not uncommon in the least, especially with the heavy homosexual debates/media footage there is today. Make sure the child knows that you support them however they decide they are leaning, and encourage them to be responsible sexually in the meantime. Especially anal sex (common among gays) has a high risk of transmitting STDs. Literature is another good idea, though I cannot think of any right now. Try googling it.
Did Dr Spock say you have reared a generation of brats?
No he never said anything like that. Dr. Benjamin Spock, born May 2, 1903 and died: March 15, 1998. He was a pediatrician, author and political activist. He wrote Baby and Child Care. He has nothing to do with the television character Mr. Spock of Star Trek, and the names are a coincidence.
If your nine-year-old girl is getting sexual feelings what can you do to stop them?
Distract her.
Some girls are getting periods and such like much earlier than they used to but they are not yet old enough to control the urges that come with them. she will nedd to be kept busy doing the things that nine year olds are supposed to do.
AnswerThe age of puberty is getting earlier in general so you just have a daughter who is maturing early. Children who mature early are getting very confusing messages from their bodies which are telling them that they are growing up, and their brains which still want to play with dolls etc.Her pediatrician may be able to suggest strategies, though there are probably no solutions, you just have to wait it out like the parents of any adolescent.
Her school should be informed (if they don't know already) so that if she starts her periods they are aware.
AnswerGIRLS MATURE more quickly than boys and It is not unusual for a 9 year old to begin puberty and "sexual feelings". Your question was how to 'stop' this.Rather than try and stop it, you need to talk to her about puberty and the changes her body will go through, and focus on appropriate behavior and responsibility. If she is actively masturbating and thinking about sex or has questions about boys, sit down with her and explain how to act appropriaetly around boys, and about the privacy of mastubating and all the rest. DON'T tellher it is bad or wrong. JUst keep her informed and keep an open dialouge between all of you so she won't try and sneek around to find info. Give her accurate facts and let her know that she can come to you with any questions. AnswerI would support the last answer. If your daughter is maturing early it's not her fault and she's not a monster. Notions of a 'right and proper age' for the onset of puberty is likely to cause serious problems. There have been cases of parents unintentionally converying the message, 'If your periods start before you're 14 you are a monster or at least there's something very badly wrong with you'. What is a girl to make of a message like that?If your daughter is at the onset of (physical) puberty at the age of 9 she's going to need a lot of support from both parents. Firstly, there's the gap between her physical and emotional maturity; and secondly, she's going to be very vulnerable for several years. For example, some boys may tell her that if her periods started at age 9 she 'ought' to start having sex early too. She's going to need all the love, support and guidance you can give her.
Gastrochisis is congenital, and it is unlikely that birth control medication played a role in its development.
The best advice is always given by a licensed physician, which I am not so be sure to ask your doctor before coming to any definitive conclusions.

When a child is born, it is immediately assigned an APGAR score from 0-10 to objectively determine its vitality. The 5 categories are scored 0, 1, or 2 with 0 being the worst and 2 being the best.
They are: Appearance (Is the skin a healthy non-bluish color), Pulse rate (is it greater than 100), Reflex (is the child irritated by stimulation), Muscle tone (does the child resist stretching of its limbs), and Breathing (does the child breath normally).
Apgar is the last name of the doctor who created this system.

I'm not 100% sure but I am guessing that your child is experiencing some kind of feet fetish and is getting an arousal off of it, the best you can do is not pretend you're asleep, instead, inform your child that he is doing so and what he is doing is not correct. This would fall into the context of "young age experimentations" and "incest."
Why teenagers fail to manage their time wisely?
they're caught up in managing a social life, school/work stress, demands from family, and trying to deal with a bunch of new opportunities and expectations that come with the hormones in puberty. it's not easy to cope with all of this and be able to manage every job/assignment/errand/essay/responsibility that come every day
What to do when your infant slaps you?
An infant or baby does not deliberately 'slap', 'strike', or 'hit' anyone (same with kicking). Infants move for several reasons, but it is mainly their immature neurological system that produces jerky movements of arms and legs. These very normal movements help babies begin to strengthen the muscles they will need when they begin hold and clasp objects, to scoot, sit up and balance, crawl, pull up using furniture, and eventually walk.
So if your infant / baby "slaps" you, do nothing to retaliate! Just be thankful the infant can use his / her muscles.
NOTE: Parents start teaching rules and boundaries, "yours versus mine", and cooperation gradually by 1 year old and increasingly during toddler ages 2 to 3 years old. Most teaching around 1 year old (or a little earlier) simply starts with a stern "No!" Do not hit back.
