Many things that also affect a child grow up to be obese. The factors that influence it is a mistake in choosing food for children's consumption because it contains high trans fats, lack of physical activity, parents who have excess weight and the genetic factors that influence.

Child obesity is said if you lose weight 40 percent higher than the ideal weight and overweight if their weight is higher than 20 percent of ideal body weight.f a child is born with weight above the average, the percentage of the obese is 45 percent or even well into adulthood obesity.

1 of 100 Children Suffering from Autism

An increase in the autism rate is staggering. How not, the ratio of children affected by autism with a ratio of more than 1 positive 100 children diagnosed with autism.

Based on news reports from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention United States, found that there had been a significant increase in the number of children diagnosed with autism.

Today found an average of autism is 1 in 100 children, whereas the previous estimate was 1 in 150 children and old people think autism is 1 in 500 children.

What really happened? We have general agreement that genetic factors contribute improvements estimated risk of autistic children, another factor is the increased public awareness about this disease is also increasing the diagnosis for autism spectrum disorders (autism spectrum disorders). But there are also other triggers that can not be identified, such as environment, diet or heredity.

Other trigger factors such as quoted from Thedailygreen, Tuesday (6/10/2009) is an environment that is exposed to mercury or other heavy metals, contaminated water, pesticides, or also because of the use of antibiotics..

All sorts of toxic waste in the environment are suspected as the cause of potential. With the development of research, including prominent research on children's health, there is one cause that has not discredited the use of the vaccine preservative thimerosal is thought to cause autistic children. Now these preservatives are not used and there is no evidence to show thimerosal causes autistic children.

Autism is a symptom that arises due to neurological disorder in a person's brain. Children who suffer from autism if his head examined using CT scans everything will look normal. Suspected autism occurs because the bridge that connects the right brain and left brain problems or obstructed, and so far not known what hampered him.

Until now there has been no single cause that would lead to autistic children. But parents should be prudent to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals during pregnancy and the development of children.

Eating candy trigger Criminal Child Behavior?

Although not categorized as healthy food, the sweetness of candy very popular kids. Many parents who forbid their children to eat candy because more candy than the bad side benefit.

What are the bad aspects of candy? First, vitamins in candy very little, almost non-existent. So even with fiber. Chewing also causes coughing, make fat, causing toothache, eliminating appetite, to make children become hyperactive.

Recent research even mentioned the children who are accustomed to eating candy from his childhood, during adult life tend to have criminal behavior. Researchers from the University of Cardiff, Wales, England, who did this research studied the data of 17,415 children born in April 1970 in England.


Research results are taken from the British Cohort Study in detail mention of health information and lifestyle these children in a certain period, such as the age of 5, 10, and adults.

At the age of 34 years of the respondents were interviewed if they had committed a crime. The result, 69 percent had violent acts or criminal turns out to have a history of eating candy hobby at the age of 10 years, compared with 42 percent who had no criminal record.

So, should parents flying the "flag war" on the candy? Not entirely so, said Simon Moore, a senior lecturer in the study of Violence and Society Research Group, University of Cardiff.

Moore argues, the link between candy and committed acts of violence occur because giving kids candy or other sweets to children every day, making the child can not learn to delay his wish. As a result, children become easy to act impulsively.

Some experts do not agree with Moore's theory. According to Melinda Johnson, a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association, said the link between candy and criminal behavior may be caused by lifestyle and parental upbringing.

So, parents need not fear to give sweets to the children for not excessive. In addition, make sure the candy is made from material given to healthy, contains no artificial coloring or formalin.

Slap Children often make IQ Squatting

Slapped or hit their parents sometimes done to make children obedient and disciplined in a flash. But, you know the hard parenting can cause harm to the child's brain development?

Researchers conducted studies of thousands of children in the United States shows, children who often slapped his parents had IQ scores (intelligence quotients) is lower than children who have never slapped.

"Every parent wants a smart child. By avoiding violence on children and do other ways to correct the mistakes children, it can be achieved," said Murray Straus, a sociologist from the University of New Hampshire, USA.

In his research, Strauss and his team conduct a national study of two sample groups of children, ie 806 children aged 2-4 years, and 704 children aged 5-9 years. At the start of the study children IQ test and subsequent tests at the end of the study, four years later.

The children of the two groups showed increased levels of intelligence after four years. But the group of 2-4 year-old who often slapped his parents, showed an IQ score of 5 points lower than children who have never slapped. For children 5-9 years old who had slapped, his IQ scores average 2.8 points lower than his colleagues had not slapped.
Each child's need to be taught discipline. In addition to abide by the rules, discipline would also make a child learn to respect others and control the urge in him. However, parents should also need to create boundaries based on love for the child to feel safe.

Previously, researchers have also revealed the high number of accidents in the bathroom, but the focus it is burnt due to hot water, submerged in bathtub, and almost drowned. "This is a serious problem," said Smith.

7. When you see a child eat something that is not healthy and can make a fat, do not live in a huff. If you only eat one-time, will not make them fat.

8. Introduce food-healthy food in the small. Children have the capacity to absorb new ideas quickly, so if you introduce healthy food to himself since early then the more likely he will love the healthy food

Porn effects to childs

Expose pornographic material in a long time and continuously to the children appeared to be harmful to the brain. Potential of ingenuity that should be developed when the adults become obstructed. Said Dr. Donald L. Hilton, Jr.., MD, Facs, surgical nerve specialist from Texas, United States.

According to Donald, brain damage can occur in the brain because there are human hormones or chemical substances called dopamine. Substances this role will manage the fulfillment of joy (pleasure) in humans, for example, at the time play games, gamble, use drugs, as well as in sexual enjoyment.

Fulfilling the desire pleased normally does not cause problems for this hormone. This hormone will be in balanced conditions. However, Donald said, this hormone will become a problem when the fun does not take this normal or excessive.

"At the addicted person will be a fun as addicted to the pornography, this hormone will be used continuously and eventually become very small in number," said Donald. As a result, the brain will shrivel (shrink ed), especially in the brain centers that control the fun.

The person can not control themselves, and endeavored to get satisfaction repeatedly. Intensity is increasing. The addict from fun can also affect a particular strength of learning and memory power.

"In the normal brain cells a series of electricity to run very fast. But in the addicted brain cells a series of more electricity to run this slow," said Donald. In addition, brain shrinked also disrupt the communication system

This can be overcome with the repair of damaged brain cells. There are four important factors in the process of healing, self-motivation, among others, a safe environment, support groups, and counselors or therapist.

In the United States, according to Donald, the process of healing takes approximately 18 months so that the brain functions normally again.

Stress can occur in children

Children are still vulnerable because the stress is very dependent on the adults around him and has not been too defense mechanisms have a strong spirit as adults. Therefore, they need protection from the very adults to environmental pressures that can lead to stress and prevent the development of one's soul. Opinion that children may not have a problem, so avoid stress is not right. In fact, often it is said, the children even more vulnerable than adults stress.


Stress is the pressure felt by individuals as a manifestation of fear and feeling unsafe. If someone feels threatened, either physical or psychological, such as threatened will be killed, lost their jobs, and left those who loved to go, he will feel anxious and tense. This is the pressure that cause stress.
Stress on the stage that can be reasonably motivate children so that both academic achievement and in other fields such as sports or the arts. However, excessive stress that would negatively impact the lives of children.

Stress in children can be caused by not feeling safe or the emergence of a threatening situation, either from family, school environment, and social environment. From the family environment, for example, children who get a new brother, so all attention shifted from himself to a baby brother, the child is too often guilt ed, and the parents separated in a way that is not good.

From the school environment, for example, the first experience of school is less enjoyable, the curriculum is too dense, the stern teacher, failure in school, homework and moved the pile to a new school. The school's environment, stress can arise due to social unrest that lead to children must participate flee, the situation is not secure, and moved home.

Both parents and teachers need to strive so that children are protected from excessive stress. He said, this is another way to create safe and comfortable atmosphere of psychological, children receive what is, to understand the feelings of children, and try to dialogue effectively with the children. When the child anxious and tense, we strives to be still be quiet so that no child will be involved in responding calmly.

Attitude will make a quiet child is able to disembowel himself honestly, and this will make the problem can be solved well. Give the opportunity for children to express it self more freely and unimpeded, whether it is through dialogue, to listen to complaints a quiet and careful, and through creative works, such as free painting, poetry writing, essay writing, and telling stories.

Show the child the benefits-the benefits of the surplus assets and esteem they have any children so that positive self-concept and optimal growth with full confidence. That all parties, whether parents, teachers and the wider community so that children attempt to avoid excessive stress to take the psychological atmosphere that is safe and convenient for them.

Frequence Watch Television Triggering Asthma

LONDON - the UK's latest research shows that routine as much as watching television two hours or more a day can trigger asthma. Twice the risk compared with children who rarely watch television.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow, Andrea Sheriff, and colleagues examine 3000 children from birth until the age of almost 12 years. Parents routinely asked about symptoms of a heavy breath on their children and whether the sentence to a doctor on asthma development.

The researchers are also analyzing how often the children are watching television. "The findings indicate that the current pattern associated with breathing habits ongoing sat on interference lungs and the breath of children," said Sheriff as quoted Reuters.

The study showed that 6 percent of children without asthma symptoms when aged in the first 12 years growing with asthma symptoms. In children who watch television more than two hours a day, symptoms of asthma is found twice.

"The findings enrich the evidence of the lack of movement and excess body weight with increased risk of asthma," said Elaine Vickers of Asthma UK, which was not involved in the study.

Study is the first call-seated habit of sitting still at the very young age with the risk of asthma not long after.

However, the study does not consider factors habits play video games and computers with the reasons for mid-1990's not popularity.

Currently, the disease asthma experienced approximately 300 million people in the world and has become a disease with children, which of them are marked with heavy breath, hard time breathing, and coughing.

Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), as much as 30 percent of children in the world with respiratory disease. (REUTERS/1healthyours)
