What if father is using heroine at time of conception?
No problem (for the baby, that is!). If the father is taking heroin and then contributes sperm to conceive a child, there will be absolutely NO effect on the fetus. While heroin use may be bad for mental/physical/emotional health and long- term stability of the father, the worst it will do will be to negatively affect his sex drive. But if he IS able to get it up, the sperm that eventually results will be exactly the same in every way as if he had not used heroin. Hope this helps.
What is the average IQ of a four year old?
It is 100.
IQ is a measure of intelligence that is normalised. It is adjusted to measure how different someone is from normal (or average).
If you are exactly the same intelligence as the average four year old, your IQ is 100. If you are a bit slow, its below 100, and if you are very smart for your age, maybe its 130.
You should spend quality time with your 3 year old prior to going to sleep. Lie down with her. As they know that this time is coming they won't object to you leaving before they fall asleep. It is perfectly normal for a 3 year old not to get into bed alone. Children need undivided attention of their parents. Bed time is the perfect time for that.

Why might a children's language development be delayed?
Autistic children do speak - some Autistic children are non-verbal, but then some allistic children are mute. In Autistic children, provided there is no secondary issue that prevents them from speaking, it can simply be because their brain doesn't know how to communicate verbally.
What is the origin of break a leg?
stonewall Jackson told the army to break their legs to retreat
I was under the impression that it came from an old vaudeville superstition that it was unlucky to wish anyone "good luck" on opening night, so the phrase "break a leg" became a show-biz slang term, meaning good luck.
Is a 100 pound 10-year-old boy overweight?
100 pounds may or may not be normal for a 10-year-old but we need more detail in order to answer your question. There is no 'normal' weight for a 10-year-old (or a person of any age) because weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Alternatively, for more information about weight in relation to height, and to see charts showing the distribution of weights and heights of children at various stages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Medical science does not know why people eat baby powder, but the thinking is that it possibly is a craving due to a dietary deficiency of iron or Vitamin D.
What are four ways you encourage a child to eat healthy foods?
With years of experience in child care, eating healthy seems to be a problem amoung many children. This is a reflection of the parents. Preventitive steps in your childs first few stages of life can be taken to improve their eating habits in the future.
if still on baby food: make sure you always feed the baby Veggie first!!!!! then fruit!!!... if you give the fruit first the child will be expecting the sweetness in the veggie and when it is not found, they will reject it. If maybe your hearing this a little too late...start putting less and less fruit mixed into the veggie to try and reverse the effect.
Toddlers: Colors, shapes and games!.. use cookie cutters to shape sandwhiches fruits and veggies.. have your child cook with you. pick up a childrens cook book or look online for some fun ideas...there are MILLIONS for every food.
a variety is key. Get excited about your child doing a good job!... and let your child see YOU enjoying the healty food as well.
Nutella is a hazlenut spead that is as delicious as chocolate, spread it on everything! 12 grain toast: the kids will love it
How much relaxation time should an 11 year old get?
If this is the parent asking: more time than you're currently giving him.
If it's the kid: less time than you're currently getting.
No, I'm not being facetious. A question like this tends to indicate an agenda, but the agenda depends on the asker. If you're a parent that schedules your kids life to the degree that you need to plan for "relaxation time", they are definitely overworked. On the other hand, if you're a kid angling for more relaxation, the fact that you have time to use WikiAnswers to formulate arguments for extending your leisure means you have too much leisure already.
In this case, nude is referring to the color of the bra. It would be close to the skin color of a woman with a medium complexion.
Is it safe to drink alcohlol when you are the age of 14?
An ounce of pure alcohol would almost certainly put them well on the way. If he or she was a non-drinker, they would probably be pretty tipsy. Three or four ounces of pure alcohol in an hour would have about a 50-50 chance of being fatal.
The answer is not about how much calories you need to ingest to lose 5 pounds a week, is more likely how much weigh you will lose if you eat properly and exercice correctly. You can safely drop 2 pounds a week, but this won't happend every week. Sometimes it will be more, sometimes less (you might even gain weight once in a while).
The question you have to ask is how to reach your goal safely and permanently, not how to starve yourself and regain your weight/fat.
To that question there no magical solution, just eat reasonable portion of HEALTHY food and exercice. Otherwise, you'll just end up with a great deception and an even lower self-esteem.
Say no to diet ! Sure they work as every publicity says.. but only for 2-3 weeks...

How do you stop peeing the bed?
Try going to the bathroom right before going to bed, and if you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night needing to go to the bathroom, go. If you keep doing this every night, hopefully, this won't happen anymore. It will take a bit of time!
YES. THEY ARE WATERPROOF. from personal experience, water does get inside the motor and battery slot but they do not stop working. All you have to do is take out the battery and wipe it down and it will be fine.

Can a 13 year old have carpal tunnel?
Anyone can. It can be brought on by any repetitive action in the wrist. How many hours you spend on the computer should give some guidance as to whether or not you need to talk with your doctor.
=========================================================================================== Yes. I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome when I was 16 years old. I was given a wrist brace, which helped for a couple of years. My doctor told me that for some people, the brace will cure it. For others it will work for a while, and for some it doesn't work at all. I am 25 and just a month ago had surgery on both hands to correct it. The doctor told me that for 98 percent of people the surgery will cure it for good...for the other two percent there is some chance of reoccurrence.
*********************************************************
It is certainly possible, but uncommon.
It is usually seen in 45-55 yr old females and males, females 2 to 1.
I would look for other possible causes of your symptoms as there are many. Diabetes, hypothyroidism, pregnancy, old wrist injuries/fractures, etc...anything that can cause swelling in the carpal tunnel canal that puts pressure on the median nerve can give you carpal tunnel symptoms.

I was sixteen years old when i was diagnosed with CTS last year (I know it sucks!). CTS is painful especially at night that's why I have to wear splints on both my hands now. I have gotten the cortisone (I think that's what it's called!) shot and it worked for like a month but then it came back. My doctors can't explain how or why I have CTS.
Carpel tunnel syndrome can also be brought on by the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis.
Is 196 pounds for a 12 year old over weight?
No, not at all. Remember as an athlete your BMI will actually be an overestimate, as muscle weights much more than fat. As long as you're eating well (whole grains, low-fat proteins, and little to no bad sugars, ie. high fructose corn syrup) you should be healthy.
