Autistic children have higher growth in the head size, height and weight

GladChild: Children with autism generally difficult to distinguish from one another. But the researchers found that boys with autism tend to have faster growth, especially in head size, height and weight.

Researchers reveal the boys with autism tend to grow faster in the presence of differences in head size, height and weight babies than usual. This finding may be a new clue about the mechanisms underlying autism.

Head size is more likely to have larger brains, too. Boy whose brain and body 'overgrowth' tend to have more severe symptoms of autism, especially those involving social skills compared with other normal children?

Katarzyna Chawarska, as professor of child psychology at Yale University Child Study Center said an overgrowth (overgrowth) is likely to be one cause of autism, making symptoms worse or subtype of autism that is characterized by accelerated growth and severe social deficits.

We found children tend to have a pattern of accelerated bone growth, including in terms of length or height, and saw a little overweight, said Chawarska, as quoted from HealthDay.

Autism is a neurodevelopment disorder characterized by problems in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and restricted interests and behaviors.

In this study researchers recruited 65 children with autism which consisted of 34 boys with pervasive developmental disorder, 13 boys with global developmental delay, and 18 boys with other growth issues.

These children have normal size at birth, but children with autism have a higher body at the age of 5 months, has a larger head circumference at age 9.5 months and the weight is greater when a first year than children whose development is normal. The results of this study were published in the October issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.

However, this overgrowth should not be used to diagnose autism, because not all children with autism are known to have growth faster than normal children and a large head circumference may indicate conditions other than autism.

But pediatricians should focus on actionable children who have a pattern of accelerated growth and referring them to perform genetic testing, said Chawarska.

Dental problems can hinder a child's development

GladChild: Do not underestimate the child's dental health. You probably never imagined that dental problems in children can make children lose many of development momentum. Therefore, parents must instill a principle in him that 'I want my child free from dental pain, and give them a good early in life, so they can compete in their future'.

Similarly, which is reflected in the results of internal discussions held by the Cross together with a number of mothers aged over 30 year old? Basically, the mothers want their children to be able to pass a future full of tougher competition than is happening now. For that, children need to be nurtured from an early age 'how to survive' in the future.

The learning process can be hampered simply because of dental problems, because dental problems can make the child lose self confidence, as well as loss of concentration.

No doubt, the tooth is the most important human organ. Without teeth, people will not be comfortable in digesting food. Functioning teeth to chew every food that goes into the mouth to be forwarded to the human body, of course, the food was fine. This process will continue ranging from childhood to adulthood.

Dentition begins with the growth of two mandibular incisors when the infants aged 6-9 months, followed by the maxillary incisors. At the age of 7-10 months to grow a second front two incisors upper and lower jaw. Sometimes the two incisors in the lower jaw to grow first before the second maxillary incisors.

Canine teeth also began to emerge at the same age. The second molars grow at the age of 23-30 months. Typically, the child will have full milk teeth at the age of 3 years. Then, one by one on the milk teeth and permanent teeth replaced numbering 32 pieces, which begins when children aged 5-6 years until the wisdom teeth emerge at age 19-22 years.

Start teething is an important process of growth of a child. Parents need to know how to care for her teeth, and parents must also teach their children how to care for a good dentist. Although it still has baby teeth, a child must receive serious attention from parents. Therefore, the condition of milk teeth will determine the growth of the child's permanent teeth.

Caring for your teeth too early to avoid tooth decay process, such as cavities, porous, and swelling of the gums. Must be accustomed to routinely check to the dentist every six months.

Dental care habits can start as a baby, that is by using gauze or cotton is warmed and then rubbed on baby's gums. When children are rather large, parents should help to start brushing routine. The trick is to teach how to hold and brush your teeth properly.

In addition, parents should pay attention to her diet. Does it include foods that can damage teeth or not. Do not give children foods that are sweet and sticky, because these foods easily left behind and attached to the teeth and when too often and long will result in not good. Sweet and sticky foods that will react in the mouth and form acids that damage tooth enamel. This is what will cause interference, such as cavities; tooth prematurely, disturbances on the size, shape and number of teeth. To prevent that, give fibrous foods, like vegetables and fruits, which require mastication process repeatedly.

Fever when the baby teething it just a myth

GladChild: Parents believe that when a baby is teething is usually accompanied by the emergence of a fever baby teething. Whereas children who grow teeth do not have to have a fever, a fever that arises could be an indication of infection.

Parents often blame a variety of diseases that arise as a result of growing new teeth, including fever. But the study found that the process of teething does not cause changes in body temperature.

People have believed the myth. Actually, ages 6 months to 3 years old children at risk of experiencing an increase in minor infections such as colds or flu can cause fever, said ike Morgan, chairman of the Oral Health Program Melbourne Dental School at the University of Melbourne, as quoted from The Conversation.

What temperature is a fever for a baby? Body temperature rises to 38 degrees Celsius, which indicates the presence of infection. But if the temperature reaches 39 degrees Celsius or more than an advanced indication of a serious infection.

While the baby fever symptoms during teething is very varied, some children do not have whatever the reaction, but most experienced swelling in the gums and cheeks are flushed.

Inconvenience that may arise in children when treated with a gel that can deliver drugs to relieve pain when teething. But if the baby is suckling so avoid its use because it can make baby numbness and difficulty feeding.

After the first tooth appears, should be brushed gently to protect it from decay and use toothpaste that contains low fluoride every day, said Mike.

Generally the teeth in infants known as teeth begin to form since the beginning of pregnancy (approximately 8 weeks after conception). This tooth is already in the jaw bone at birth, and later he will be pushed out when aged 6 months and have full gear when she was 3 years old.

Tips to get your child has a high ideal body

GladChild: For the parents, would feel proud and happy to see her son grow tall. But what if parents feel less comfortable when they see her height does not match the expectations? Apart from nutritional factors, genetic factors also influence the actual height growth of the child. By genetic, every child in the program to achieve a certain height, it depends from the height of their parents, but in reality, a high child may exceed the height of her parents or even vice versa when they are adults.

One of the main causes why a child can not reach the optimal height is the lack of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. This may be due to genetic factors carrying the old, as we mentioned above and environmental factors where children live. Experts have found scientific evidence of how the environment of residence and type of diet can influence a child's height.

Diet
The sense of a child will reach the high ideal body commonly consumed each food they eat everyday. But, how much better if you give it food that contains lots of protein and amino acids to the small body could produce growth hormones derived from amino acids.

In addition to protein and amino acids, to achieve growth hormone in children, your children need calcium needed for bone growth. Give your child plenty of food and drink contains protein, amino acids, and calcium in order to achieve the optimal height.

Exercise and sports
With an exercise and sports, the pituitary gland in the body of a child will be releasing more growth hormone in children. So, if your child is in infancy, regular exercise will increase their height.

According to the theory, the backbone of human beings were created in such a way that one can achieve an optimal height, so it is very important for a child is told to train his spine through stretching exercises are done regularly every day for several minutes in order to achieve the optimal height. However, stretching exercises should only be provided for children of young age because the body they are able to do the type of training.

However, experts strongly recommend lifting the load is too heavy for your child who is in a period of high growth, because it will inhibit the growth of the spine.

High growth hormone therapy
It is regarded as a last resort for parents who are having problems with his height. If your child's height is shorter than its peers, you can go to the doctor to consult about the physical therapy or human growth hormone therapy growth hormone (HGH). However, such therapy is not without side effects and even in the long term will include the risk of diabetes and headaches that may be experienced by children.

Circumcision Can Make Your Kids Grow Faster

GladChild: When growth of 12 year old child body is smaller and less high than his friends, surely crossed your mind, what should be circumcised first, then my child will growing more quickly?

Assumption if the child after the circumcision and then his body will grow into a big fast is not true. That's a myth, a child development and growth are not directly related to circumcision.

Factors that influence the growth are growth hormone, nutrition, and heredity. Just a coincidence factor if such children were circumcised at the age of 12 years ago he became big fast, because it coincided with the growth period.

So it's not solely due to circumcision. If you want a high note the child's body quickly nutrition given to your child, descendant, sports, and children do not burdened with carrying heavy items such as custom carrying bags in the back, because it can affect the growth of the spine.

The benefits of Circumcision for your child health

Circumcision can be done from the age of the newborn until whenever. For Muslim men are required to circumcision for their children health. However, any non Muslim men, but also feel the need to perform circumcision for reasons of hygiene and health, such as:

1. Can prevent the occurrence of penile cancer. In people who are not circumcised, smegma (dirt) that came out from the base of the penis head will be buried under preputium. If there is dirt on the skin of the penis head is feared that the behavior of chronic irritation of the surrounding cells will become malignant (carcinogenic) that ultimately lead to cancer of the penis.
2. Cleanliness assured. If the hole is not closed penile skin (preputium), and between preputium and glands penis (penis head) there is no dirt, urination becomes smooth so as to avoid urinary tract infections.
3. Circumcision may also prevent transmission of HIV disease, syphilis, or any other venereal disease.
