Pregnancy in adolescence can be at risk of dying during childbirth

GladChild: Teen-age women are strongly advised not to marry or become pregnant at her age, because the reproductive organs in women aged adolescents has not been strong enough to give birth. Teenagers who become pregnant are at risk 4-fold, was seriously wounded on reproductive organs and can cause dying during childbirth.

Countries in Asia Pacific can be said to fail to deal with teenagers and young children. Despite economic growth and improvement of health services overall, but when talking about health and reproductive rights, adolescents and young people still lack the information and underserved.

For example, all countries in the Asia Pacific region have laws against child marriage, but in many countries nearly 50 percent of women marry before age 18 years.

The implications are very serious and, in some young women may result in life-threatening.

Young women and teenagers have a 4-fold risk compared with older women to experience the risk of severe injury or dying during childbirth.

Here are some of the dangers which threatened when a woman is married and pregnant at a young age before 20 years old:

• In the reproductive organs he was not ready to touch or contain, so that if the pregnancy at risk of developing high blood pressure because the body is not strong enough. This condition is usually not detected at early stages, but eventually leads to convulsions, bleeding and even death to the mother or baby.
• Egg owned by women is not yet ready.
• Risk of cervical cancer, because the younger person's age at first intercourse, the greater the risk of reproductive areas contaminated by the virus.

That getting married at a young age makes a woman permanently become independent and not always rely on her husband, so that would later influence on social and economic status.

The wife of the young usually do not get enough education so that opportunities to be self-cutting, including to seek reproductive health services. As such, they are more likely to be exposed to many health risks, not only the risk of pregnancy but also violence, sexually transmitted infections including HIV and AIDS.

Children's intelligence can be influenced by health care

GladChild: Health is an important factor underlying a person's life. Apparently a child achievement in school was also influenced by the health care they get.

Children who have access to health insurance are healthier and do well in school than children without insurance. Similarly, according to researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC).

This study is the first time in the show directly the health benefits in children with so-called 'children medical home', namely the medical care that is easily accessible, comprehensive, coordinated, family-centered, compassionate and effective cultural.

If you can put the children to the children medical home, there is potential for huge profits. We found a strong relationship exists between high-quality medical care with improved health and involvement in school, said Gregory D. Stevens, PhD, reported by eurekalert on Wednesday September 7, 2011.

A children medical home is family-centered as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics is not a building or service, but approach in providing comprehensive primary care for patients.

Touted as the future of family medicine, medical homes and other patient care models reinforced with health reform after passed into law by the Law on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 in the U.S..

The study reported in the September issue of the journal Medical Care found that children enrolled in Healthy Kids programs tend to have a regular source of children health care and good handling. Children enrolled in the program for more than a year reported getting the best children medical home care.

Separate study published online by the Health Services Research found children who received home care medical fewer absences in school and get good grades in math and reading.

The researchers surveyed 4011 children from 21 of the 24 programs in the U.S. Healthy Kids, a program that provides affordable health insurance for children from low-income families who do not qualify for state insurance programs. The sample consisted mostly of children of low-income families in Latin America and the majority of Spanish-speaking families.

10 Reasons why you should not to Spanking your child

GladChild: You've probably seen a mother spanking her child because the child does not obey his orders or because the children make mistakes. Or maybe you yourself unwittingly ever spank your child because it would upset his bad behavior. Indeed the reason why you spank your children is to warn and discipline him so he would not misbehave and obey your commands.

In America alone, approximately 70% of parents spank their children as a way to discipline children. Apparently this is not a good way and correct. June 2002, The Associated Press launched a study from Columbia University. The researchers found, spanking children will have negative consequences for the child's behavior, including aggressive, anti-social attitudes, and problems with mental health.

Here are 10 reasons why you should not to Spanking your child:

1. Spank children will just stop the child not to behave badly for a while. The reason why your child is behaving badly because he did not know how to solve the problem.
2. Spanking the child will not teach it to behave well, but would only teach it not to get caught by her parents when she made a mistake. This will make the child can do the manipulating.
3. Children will be given the punishment given to him, not remembering what wrong he had done. He will be a coward, and instead become someone who wants to do right.
4. This will teach the child to resolve any problems by hitting. Should children be taught to accept, and solve a problem without violence.
5. Hitting will only teach children to behave in an external control or solve problems with physical punishment. It will not teach kids to control themselves (internal control) in the face of something.
6. Spanking may give mixed messages to children. Hitting a child who has grown will not matter much, but do not hitting a child are still small.
7. Spanking your child will stop the development of his moral. It hit him will make him stop making mistakes, but he stopped doing this for fear of guilt will be punished again. Not because he wanted to do the right thing.
8. Spanking your child will remove the child's sense of empathy. Empathy is sensitive to others feelings and feelings is the basis for moral development. Research has shown empathy a child will disappear when parents educate their children with anger and control, and not with affection.
9. Spanking the child will only open the way to know the world of violence. Hitting is an aggressive act, and you will only show the child that you as parents, have been out of bounds.
10. Spanking the child will not teach him good manners, but teaches how to yell, hit, manipulate and control someone with a growing fear in someone. It also means you have failed to teach discipline to your child.

One thing you have to remember, the purpose of discipline is to teach foster responsible for all the choices. There are still many other ways that you can use to teach discipline to your child. By saying gently, politely, support them with compassion, love and respect, is an effective way to grow a commendable attitude to the child. Teach child discipline to use affection is better than to teach discipline based on fear.

The benefits of reading stories to your children

GladChild: For parents, this time storytelling activities for children are very rarely performed either at bedtime or at any time. This is due to parents' busy factor. But you know the activities of storytelling that has many advantages for the child.

Storytelling is not just an activity to bed time stories for your child. Many of the positive charge of these activities, among them:

Set an example
You can give examples of attitudes or praiseworthy deeds and avoid bad attitude or actions of the stories read. Storytelling is the most effective way to instill the idea or thought, moral values, manners and the concept of cause and effect, especially in children.

Motivating children
When you read or tell a tale, usually the child's imagination as a hero figure who managed to solve various problems. Or it could be your daughter's imagination to become a princess like a fairy tale that you tell him. Here's your chance to motivate the child through a fairy tale.

Taught to communicate
For children who can not communicate, you can stimulate the child's verbal communication skills by reading a fairy tale or a story that is easily understood.

Increasing child intelligence

One way to improve the intelligence of children is with storytelling. A bright child is a child who received stimulation appropriate to their age, especially in the golden age or golden ages (ages 0-5 years). Golden age of children is the golden age of growth and development of children, so at this time of the child requires assistance from someone who can continue to monitor the growth and development. And need someone who is able to provide optimal stimulation with great affection. And one form of stimulation to educate children is by bed time stories.

Before you begin, it helps if you first understand what kind of stories that were trying to convey, so you can tell according to the type of story. You also have to adjust the story with the child's age, number of listeners, the purpose of delivery of content, situation and condition of the child and the duration of time passed.

How to understand child psychology

GladChild: Not an easy thing you become a good mother, because this might make you grow dizzy with the variety of behavior patterns that unruly child behavior. But it will happen if you are difficult to establish a harmonious relationship with the child, especially in adolescents.

What is child psychology? Sometimes it is hard to understand child psychology and understand what they want, especially with the generation gap between you and your child. Maybe this is what usually happens to you and your children at different opinions and ends with hostility. But you need to know, that with the success you establish a harmonious family relationship with the child is a primary key you in understanding child psychology.

This requires patience as well as how you in the face of children, especially teenagers to understand and know what they want. The following tips you can do:

Clarify your role as a limit of parents and friends
Distinguish your role here as a parent or even a friend for your child. At the time you became a friend to the child, usually a pleasant interaction will occur because the child will tell you all complained on you. But when serving you as a friend, you can judge when they tell the problem to you. Conversely, if you act as parent judgments would not be possible to do because of love and care about you to a different portion they have when you become a friend for him. That way when your position as a parent, give the best of what the kids want but do not spoil, but it provides a sufficient portion to make it understand.

Involve yourself
Try to spend a little time to establish a more intimate relationship with your children. With you can spend time with them, then it is possible if you could also get involved in their lives, so without the fear and anxiety they are ready to come up to you to tell all the problems they face. Because these situation him, you're the parent who can provide security and comfort for them to solve problems they face.

Educate children to become a responsible
It is not easy to educate children to become responsible person in his life. But it is you need to do early on so that they can be more responsible with what they do. For example, if they want something to be with the results of their own efforts without relying on your help. That way you can give reward if they successfully run the business and responsibilities. But do not give them a reward if they do business cannot be justified. Because with them realizing it, the child can learn to be responsible and have the independence that they grew up.

Listen to the opinion of the child
Not you just want to be heard by children, even your child was also wants you to listen and understand what they want. However, you must still understand their intentions rather than judge when they make mistakes. You can listen to advance what they said, because it could be with the child's condition is such that he is in need of your help to become his patron.

The position you specify

Indirectly by you taking the right decisions in everyday life, the children have been helped by the decisions you make with all his kindness for the sake of their lives. That way the child will think that they will become good decision makers when they grew up.

You are always there for the kids
As a parent the most important thing at this time especially in the development of the child before and after they became a teenager that parents can be a good example and role model for her children someday. In addition you need to remember, that in its development ever they always need you. And this is where your important role for the child for future growth and development because they want only you could always there and present in their lives.

Follow the child's development
In addition to monitoring child development, you also need to keep abreast of other children like knowing the various activities that they do well at home, school or the environment outside the home. Not only that, maybe you could also follow what kind of music are now being their preferred or even the name of their playmates. Due to your watch list to follow all the developments and their activities, then it becomes the responsibility of parenthood.

Flexible
Rules that you have given up and settled on the child, can you give a little leeway in terms of exceptions.

Have the same favorite
Do not make small things into a fight for you and your child. And you also have to understand and really understood about the nature of the child. With you have the same favorite with kids, and then you can understand them better, especially in learning and sharing of interesting experiences.

Keep talking even if the child does not listen
Although children sometimes difficult to listen to criticism and suggestions from you, keep you always give suggestions for the good of them. It's hard to tell things that sometimes make them tired, but you are doing is right. At first glance you might see them with a passivity that is not listening or did not want to receive feedback from you, but make no mistake because the child's attitude was much more active in some of the things they hear from you. And most importantly do not ever stop and bored to provide input to the child because then they can receive all the words you are saying.

By knowing some of the above of course you can better understand child psychology and knows it well.

Children aged 11 years may infected by sexually transmitted disease

GladChild: Sexually transmitted disease in children through sexual intercourse, so that sufferers came mostly from among the adults. But lately the children are also affected, even a boy of 11 years in the UK already have a fungal infection Chlamydia.

The boy who was not identified was recorded as the youngest patient in the UK in the age group 16 years and under, for Chlamydia infection that attacks the reproductive organs. The infection is usually transmitted through unsafe sex.

The case was revealed in the latest data released by the Mid Essex Foundation Trust recently. The data also noted, in the last 3 years of infection of sexually transmitted disease in children has infected at least 1,000 children under the age of 16.

In addition to a boy aged 11 years who has been mentioned, venereal disease also affects two teenagers 12 years of age in the UK. Both have genital herpes infection and genital warts are also transmitted through unprotected sex.

The older age, the number of cases of transmission of genital infections in children carrying the greater. At the age of 13 years for example, while the number reached 46 children in the age group 14 years and 15 years respectively of 200 and 602 children.

Viewed based on their gender, these data show that girls three times more at risk of contracting venereal infections. While the type of infection, Chlamydia most common by both boys and girls.

Similarly children, the rate of transmission of venereal disease in adults over the age of 50 years also increased. The reason is the same, namely a lack of knowledge and awareness about safe sex behavior and responsibility.

In the group aged 50 years and over, 16 percent of adults having sex with new partners without using condoms as a protection. This figure is highest compared to the age group 26-30 years and only 4 percent of the 22-25 year age group which is 6 percent.

For prevention, family planning agencies in the UK expect the role of the family to provide the right knowledge about reproductive health in children. In addition, anyone who had sex at risk is encouraged to consult as soon as possible.

If you have sex is at risk and without protection, it is very important to get checked out before symptoms appear, said Lisa McCreesh, a pharmacist involved in such research as quoted from Dailymail on Tuesday August 30, 2011.

Recognize the symptoms of ADHD before the child goes to school

GladChild: Hyperactivity symptoms or ADHD in children (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is generally known when the child is in school. But there are characteristics of ADHD that appear before he entered school.

ADHD is the most common child behavioral disorder diagnosed in children and adolescents, estimated to affect approximately 3-7 of every 100 school-age children. Approximately 66 percent of children with ADHD continue to show symptoms when he was a teenager.

Generally someone who has ADHD has 3 a similar disorder although sometimes accompanied by different symptoms that are not a concern (inattentiveness), hyperactive and impulsive (impulsiveness).

Read signal for ADHD in children can sometimes be difficult because most of it looks like any other healthy child. Here are some things that can be observed as a child may have ADHD, as quoted from ParentDish on Tuesday August 23, 2011:

• Signs of hyperactivity and impulsive behavior

Children will look nervous or stretched continuously regardless of the surrounding environment, is generally regarded as the classic symptoms of ADHD. Another sign that need attention as a symptom of ADHD is not a child can sit quietly for a moment or tend to talk excessively.

• Signs of children less attention

The most obvious sign is the children often fail in attention to detail or something that make the same mistake each perform a task or job. And often has a blank stare like not listening to what others are talking to him and easily forgotten.

If there are signs like that you should consult with an expert to evaluate, because ADHD is not diagnosed and treated will make the child grow into teenagers who are easily distracted, neglectful, less communicative and affect social life.

And act more impulsively to a situation that is without considering the consequences. These conditions will make it a risky behavior and difficult to control yourself.

Video games can strengthen the relationship between parents and children

GladChild: Playing video games as well as using a smartphone it can deepen the relationship between parents and children. Thus the results of research from Goldsmiths University and gaming company PopCap.

Based on this research, 4 of 5 parents called to play video games with their children as "quality time". Meanwhile, 32 percent of parents admitted playing computer games with their children every day.

The study also found that children aged two years is now adept at operating the smartphone and tablet PCs. Approximately 27 percent of parents claimed their children smartphone or tablet device borrow theirs to play the game.

The study included approximately 3000 parents and elderly, where approximately 22 percent of mothers and fathers say that playing computer games has helped their children gain a deeper understanding of the technology.

Not only that, most of the elderly is also claimed that they also play games to get closer to their grandchildren.

This discovery is important because it highlights the social benefits obtained by a person from playing video games, said Dr. Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic of Goldsmiths as reported by the Telegraph on Monday August 22, 2011.

Research into previously tended to only see the effects of video games to the individual. But in the era of social networking, gaming seems to play a vital role in improving one's social relationships, he added.

Referring to the many parents and elderly people who use the game to connect with their children and grandchildren, with satisfactory results, indicating that video games can enhance social skills as well as providing key contributions in the patterns of parenting and child development is successful, Chamorro-Premuzic lid.

Materialistic nature can damage the children’s mentality

GladChild: Do not allow your children to be materialistic. Because you will be very troublesome to fulfill all wishes.

Treasure is not everything. But unfortunately, due to the all-materialism of modern life, the children become mentally damaged. In fact, love is not necessarily shown in the form of property must be willing to even make a parent's debt here and there to meet them.

The phenomenon of children's mental breakdown due to materialism that seemed very severe in developed countries like the UK. Based on the results of the study, about 89 percent of adults there agree that children are increasingly becoming materialistic than ever before.

The findings are based on a survey involving 1225 GK NOP adult respondents in the UK. From the findings of this poll, the majority of UK adults believe that children are more materialistic today's generation of children than ever before. Polling these include asking about the various demands of children to their parents.

Institute for The Children's Society said people grow up to be responsible for the phenomenon of high-level marketing of commercial products in children. Head of The Children's Society Bob Reitemer said important questions arise about how to let the child grow and develop free from a wide range of industrial product marketing techniques.

We can not blame children for granted because of the emergence of this culture. During these adults do to support children to be materialistic or not, he said. Noted, industry profits in the UK of children estimated to reach market segments amounting to 30 billion pounds.

Head of the Institute for National School Partnership Mark Fawcett said it is impossible to protect children from the real world today. Therefore, inclusion of diverse information can indeed be obtained free of children. However, it does not mean they can never escape.

According to Fawcett, all adults of all components should be jointly responsible for that child not to be exploited, but must be accompanied. Parents also must be more firmly refusing all requests from the children's silly to an item with a very high price.

Dr Rowan Williams of The Archbishop of Canterbury stated, children should be encouraged and given the understanding that their self-worth is more than just the stuff they have. Because, often the children want something they see an ad or see her friends already have it.

Selling a lifestyle in children has resulted in cultural materialism, competition and makes them become very individualistic and greedy later on when mature and sociable life, he said. Commercial product pressure on children to give their damaging effects.

Professor of child psychology from the Institute of Child Health London, Philip Graham stated, one of the main factors causing the emergence of mental problems in children and adolescents was due to meet to have an exaggerated sense of possessive.

Evidence shows that in Britain and the United States who are most affected due to the pressure of commercial products is the increasing number of mental health problems, he explained.

The survey results showed that nearly 90 percent of respondents think that the advertisements at Christmas put pressure on parents to spend more money than their actual abilities.

As many as 63 percent of female respondents in this survey were more likely to think that the media is the main cause of the emergence of cultural materialism in children. Meanwhile, only 56 percent of male respondents who agreed with the statement.

Facebook for Children, Good or Bad?

GladChild: Spend much time on Facebook are often accused of having a negative effect on children and adolescents. However, on the other hand he carried a good learning for them.

A revealing study of the psychological effects of child online activity on Facebook is. It is said, teenagers who spend much time on Facebook, have a tendency to narcissistic. They are also known to have anti-social behavior, and aggressive maniac.

Dangers of Facebook for children is said to also have an impact on children's achievement in school. Those who check Facebook every 15 minutes during learning reported its value decreases. The use of technology and media to excess every day also brought a negative effect on children's health, making children more depressed, experience anxiety and other psychological problems.

However, social network is not merely a negative impact on children and adolescents. As reported by Ivanhoe on Monday August 8, 2011, on the other hand the researchers also found that teens who hooked Facebook show they are more astute in showing empathy virtual on their online friends. Social networking also helps children to learn to socialize closed.

With the impacts brought up, the researchers still do not advise parents to monitoring children online activities.

If you are using a computer program to monitoring your children, then you are just wasting your time because the child will surely find another way about it. Begin early to talk about technology and build confidence, said Larry Rosen, social media researcher at the California State University who argued his findings at the American Psychological Association.

Girls more likely to try alcohol

GladChild: A study of those aged 15-16 years found that girls are more likely to try alcohol compared to male children.

That puts them at risk of unprotected sex, unplanned pregnancies and contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

One in five adolescent girls who consumed alcohol at least once a week to find themselves so drunk, so the sex that they regret falls. While nearly 40 percent involved a fight.

Nearly 88 percent of girls aged 15 and 16 said they had consumed alcohol compared with 80 percent for child boys.

The study found that among adolescents of both sexes, those who like to drink the equivalent of more than a bottle of wine a week. The findings also concluded that drinking has adverse effects on achievement in school.

The report was compiled by the Center for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University. Questionnaires completed by 11 thousand teenagers in the North West.

Beverage alcohol may place girls in situations too drunk to consider whether they want to have sex or take appropriate measures to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The report found that among both sexes, 30 percent of teens does binge drinking at least once a week.

The consequences of both direct, such as poor school performance and violence and alcohol-related health problems later in life and pregnancy.

The survey found nearly 40 percent of women who drank at least once a week have been involved in a fight. And more than 20 percent said they had been drinking heavily, so the sex they regret. That figure is higher than 15 percent for boys in the same position.

Don Shenker, Alcohol Concern from, say there are clear links between binge drinking and young girls unplanned sex and alcohol-related violence.

Working mom, does not interfere with the child's behavior

GladChild: No need to worry for those who have to work, but still have small children. Leaving children at home will not be as great an effect on child behavior problems. During this career women are often anxious to leave child home alone decide.

That's because it was thought that children who are not accompanied by his mother prone to child behavioral disorders. One of the problems that concern the mother worked, among others, concentration problems and hyperactivity (GPPH) on the baby.

However, a study showed that children whose mothers work outside the home will not have a tendency to get emotional or child behavior problems at age five than children whose mothers stay at home. The study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2010, about 64 percent of the women in America, who have children under age six work outside the home?

We do not see any detrimental effects on children's behavior with his mother's job, said study researcher Anne McMunn, PhD, a senior researcher at University College London, England, quoted by WebMD page.

Living with two parents that work seems to be the best option for children. And, this effect is clearly visible, even after researchers took into account the level of maternal education and household income. The results mentioned a girl was actually behaved badly if she stayed at home.

Daughters whose mothers did not work at all in the first five years of their lives, twice as likely to have child behavior problems at age five.

My mother works should not feel guilty that this choice will have an impact on the social, emotional needs, or behavior of their children, said McMunn.

And if there is any impact, they might do service in terms of increasing family income and some positive effects for girls, he continued.

This new study analyzed data on employment of parents when children are still infants, aged three years and five years.

The researchers compared this information with social and emotional behaviors in children aged three and five years to see, whether the mother's employment status has an effect on a child's risk of mental disorders later in life.

The research was conducted in the UK, but these findings may also apply in the United States, said McMunn.

Charles Shubin, MD, medical director at Children's Health Center of Mercy Family Care in Baltimore, and professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland said the choice of child care plays a big role in how children are affected by parental employment status.

You still have to relate to children. You have to be involved in children's lives and they need to know what you like. If children feel accepted, they will have trouble focusing of attention, regardless of whether their mothers work outside the home or not, said Shubin.

Susan Newman, PhD, a social psychologist at the Middlesex County, NJ, and author of several books, including The Case for the Only Child, says this new study validates what has been known for many years.

If you are reliable, the right nanny, work will not have a negative effect on children, when many people believe about it, he continued.

Nothing is concretely found any negative effects on children if you are a working mother. In fact, parents run the job the best because it has an interest outside of the children, and work is certainly one of those interests, he said.

If you need or want to work, guilt is a wasted emotion, said Newman.

The results of this study could have skewed the responses. Several other researchers say that leaving a child under the care of others and working mothers will make the kids have bad behavior.

However, according to researchers, if a mother managed to make his mind work and relationships with the children stay balanced, then he could be more successful in family and work. To overcome this, mothers who work outside the home would be wise to set the time.

Working to meet the needs of the family is very noble, but it must be remembered that the main task of a mother is to manage the household. Mothers who have to leave work early morning and return in the afternoon should still take the time to communicate with children.

Not to forget the mother also took time to joke with children and examine children's school assignments although very tired after a day of working outside the home. However, these sacrifices will be a joy if they see their children grow into strong personal and stable.

As for working mothers in the house also still be able to manage time wisely. However, the task is certainly not the only task of the mother, but fathers also have to help the mother to perform household tasks so that the unity and domestic harmony will remain well preserved.

Smoking prevention among children and adolescents

GladChild: Children who start smoking could become addicted, so it will probably continue to smoke as an adult and later risk of suffering heart disease, lung cancer and other dangerous diseases. Everyone does not want children to smoke. The question is how to stop them from smoking and who can do it.

Parents play an important role in educating their children about healthy lifestyles and teach the importance of not smoking. Adult cigarette smokers should get rid of the reach of children and do not smoke near your children.

A number of public health interest groups are also working hard to prevent children from smoking by running educational programs for children.

Governments can contribute by enacting policies that prohibit the sale of cigarettes to children and enforce it strictly.

We believe that tobacco manufacturers can and must take action to prevent children from smoking. Such actions can range from support effective regulation to implement smoking prevention programs of their own children.

7 Adverse effects if children lack of sleep

GladChild: When the holiday season, parents often allow their children to sleep more nights than usual. But this should not become a habit, because of lack of sleep can have disastrous effects on the child's bad.

School age children need to sleep at least 10-12 hours per day. Several things can make a child become less sleep as too much activity, watching television, playing video or computer.

If your child has less sleep then it will affect such things as quoted from Lifemojo:

1. Lack of concentration
Lack of sleep can make children become tired, so out of focus or concentration is reduced. This condition would make it difficult to receive information from the outside.

2. Irritable
This causes the child easily irritation or irritable, hyperactive behavior that sometimes can make a parent or caregiver upset.

3. The decline in IQ scores
Researchers from the University of Virginia found the children who sleep deprivation can impair cognitive development and IQ, so it has lower grades in school and hard to build good relationships with peers. Experts believe the sooner the child to sleep after learning the ability to remember the greater.

4. Emotional problems
Lack of sleep can raise levels of the hormone cortical setrs that allows him to experience the problems associated with depression and anxiety. This can make children easy sadness, anger, fatigue, nausea and worry all the time.

5. Problem with weight
Studies of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found children who sleep less at risk of obesity is around 92 percent. Researchers said that for every 1 extra hour of sleep obtained the child can reduce the risk by 9 percent.

6. Risk of diabetes
Lack of sleep will affect the absorption of glucose, any lack of sleep as much as 2 hours in a week was associated with increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and low grade inflammation that can affect insulin resistance thus increasing the risk of diabetes.

7. Potentially to ADHD/hyperactive
Studies conducted by the University of Michigan and published by Pediatrics Magazine found sleep disorders in children such as sleep apnea, snoring, and frequent waking at night or anxiety can contribute to the condition of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Children can be infected from his father to become active smoker

GladChild: This is a warning for smokers. Immediately turn off cigarettes around you if there are children and adolescents. Because the children who become passive smokers too long will participate nicotine addiction.

Research conducted by experts from Concordia University of Montreal and Canada found that adolescents who are often exposed to smoke from parents, siblings, friends or people around him will gradually start to smoking as well.

Children who see others smoking habit will imitate it because it did not regard smoking as a danger. The result of our observations show despite never smoking, children who are exposed to smoking will see its natural habit, so they will start to become active smoker in their teens, said Simon Racicot from the Department of Psychology, University of Concordia.

The result, published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research is increasing the length of proof of negative effects in the environment smokers.

Senior researcher Jennifer J. McGrath said about 60 percent of children in North America is a passive smoker. More and more smokers in the vicinity of the child, the higher the exposure they received nicotine. Whereas children who become passive smokers absorb nicotine in doses higher than the active smoker, he said.

Initial research results indicate that exposure to cigarette secondhand smoke will affect the brain causing addiction reactions, even before the child starts to become active smoker.

In this study, 327 adolescents aged 11-13 years were interviewed about smoking habits, number of smokers at home and their environments, and situations when they smoked.

Children who are surrounded by smokers are also candidates for smokers, researchers concluded. Therefore, the researchers suggest the need for special precautions for children who become passive smokers. Awareness of the dangers of smoking is supposed to arrive at the children and parents.

Adults or parents should not smoke around children, whether at home or vehicle to prevent child exposure to secondhand smoke, said Racicot.

7 Tips on How to Handle a Spoiled Child

GladChild: When children began to leave her toddler age, sometimes they still just spoiled. Even up to the age of seven years or they already have a brother, sometimes they still like to whine like a younger brother who was a toddler. What do kids ask, parents are always filled. As a result, if parents do not meet the demand until the child was whining and crying.

How to Improve Parent Child Communication

GladChild: This article was written to facilitate the parent child communication so that harmony can be established between mother and child. Try to feel, what it's like to talk but not being heard by our children? Obviously you as a parent would feel much unappreciated, that means there is an unjust act against us. Why? Because we expect reciprocity from what we've been doing, feel they have authority but cannot be used. When children listen and obey what we say then the feelings of love and affection we'll grow to it. We will learn from one of these questions, and aspects of what is needed for effective communication with your child.

In general there are 2 aspects of parent child communication. The first is the child emotional aspect, causing children to be more easily influenced, according to a strong and committed by his friend is the feeling to be accepted. When together with his friends they feel part of a group, to be accepted in a group, they will obey whatever is said their friends, even though unreasonable or destructive. Included with the daring to smoke or disturb their other friends. That way they will be admired in the wrong way, by their own group or gang. Being cool and looks great is very important for adolescents, because they are the strongest encouragement when it is felt important and the recognition.

On the other hand, many children do not like to hear parents because their parents tend to dictate. So in the minds of children, they felt that by listening to parents and parents lost their means to win. They feel important by doing what is said by parents and by not following what we want then they feels more important because it has won the battle.

Children who excel in school, who has a confident, not easily influenced by peers is a child who is accepted, loved and recognized by her parents. At home everything is fulfilled, and then they should not search for recognition out there.

4 things that must be considered to improve parent child communication:

1. Use the word "Request" when we need a child to do something. By using the word respect means we ask the child, for example, would be very different when we ordered the house maid opened the door, by the time we ask our in-laws to open the door, you would understand what I mean. Children also want to be appreciated and recognized, and this is very important.
2. Make sure always looked into her eyes when we communicate with the child, the eyes show the seriousness and respect the other person. Making the child feel important and recognized.
3. Be a good listener if the child is talking. With the hearing, the child had felt her parents are people who want to understand himself, even if you have not provided a solution. Please note if we want to give a solution, we need to ask first. Only by listening to children talk then we've helped the child emotionally disturbing load off and certainly will be more annoying if not removed. And when parents are able to take this job well, then our children will not be guaranteed to find love out there, because there has been an understood and loved him.
4. Love the way he loved child. Surely you know how where our children how to treat people with love, may be to the sister, with her father or mother, grandmother, cousin or friend. Look, what he gave excessive attention, what he likes to give a touch, like giving gifts, and others. In the same way we learn to love him the way, not the way we as parents. Perhaps we parents are happy and feel loved in a way be held, but the child does not like to cuddle. Use and learn the style she give love, to give love completely.

The next aspect is how communicate based on the mechanism of the human mind. The human mind is always the dominant process information. That is, the human mind does not know the word "no, do not or any negative sentence."

That's the nature of your child's mind, cannot accept a negative sentence to be processed in the mind. This is the intention of the mind only process the information that is dominant. How do we communicate with the child? Many use the ban which was violated.

3 Child Emotional Needs

GladChild: Children and adolescents are more controlled by their emotions rather than rational and logical thinking. Emotions may explain why children and adolescents behave that way, including self destructive behavior. So if we want to motivate them we should understand the emotions that control them, and use it to guide behavior and thoughts are more deceptive.

Here is the 3 child emotional needs:

1. Need to feel safe

One of the strongest needs required a child is feeling safe. Secure in themselves and Their environment. Teens looking for a sense of security with a set of Their peers, Engaging Them Among the social rules, and imitate his behavior. You need to remember that love is not the same child with the child feel loved.

What causes the need for security is not met?

• Comparing the child with relatives or other persons
• criticize and find fault child
• Physical and verbal violence in children

2. The need for recognition, accepted and loved.

Rarely do parents make their children feel important and recognized at home. Conversely, many parents are making their children feel small and insignificant with the threats and commands.

What is in the minds of children if treated like that? Parents We are just happy if the kids do the Things We command, but there That Their children were the resource persons at the mind Feel Defeated by doing what the Parents in that way. So many children who delayed or did not do what is assigned Parents (even with the threat though) to meet the emotional needs for recognition.

If children do not feel loved and accepted by parents, they will be encouraged to look at all the wrong places.

The desire of a child to be recognized and want to be loved is so strong, so they will do anything to get it. If they do not get recognition in the right way it will be found in the wrong way and the wrong place. This requirement encourages some children and teenagers to use a tattoo, disturbing other children, painting the hair with striking color, behaving like a clown and comedian. It is generally trouble themselves, but for the sake of getting recognition and accepted (attention).

3. Need for control (feeling self / desire to control)

As the child's growth, while search for identity and independence while learning to build from the parent. This process creates an emotional needs to be free and independent.

So that's why kids do not want to be governed to what to do. By listening to the advice of their parents seemed to be treated like a child.

Parents who are smart, will not surrender to face this. How do I provide direction, and for the child's parents want to hear? Use communication that does not mean forcing a child with our advice. make as if they learn and work hard for themselves not for us. they will be more excited and keeping motivated that way. And most importantly meet our child's love tank every day and make sure children are always full when you wake up wake up and before bed. That way the child knows who is most understanding and affection, and to whom he will come in time of need someone to hear.

There is strong evidence that the therapy carried out earlier have a positive effect on brain development. That's why the opportunity to diagnose and initiate therapy at the time about a year old child is very important to enhance the potential development of the child, he said.
