Most mothers, at some point in their child’s life, wonder whether they have problems hearing. This usually comes after the tenth time you have told them to do something, and they haven’t responded. You begin to think, “What if he really can’t hear me?” I remember this happening to me when my oldest son was about 3 a... nd a half. He was ignoring what I was telling him and I turned to my husband and said, “I really don’t think he can hear me.” My husband said, “Oh yes, he can. Watch this!” And he said in a very soft voice, “Do you want a cookie?” Sure enough, my son looked at him and said, “Yes, please.” But it is not always the case of children hearing what they want to hear- some children do have difficulty hearing and need to be evaluated by a doctor.

The causes of autism spectrum disorders are complicated and parents often feel overwhelmed, wondering if there is any hope in preventing or healing the disease. It is clear that autism has both genetic factors that predispose children and environmental factors that possibly switch on an autism spectrum disorder.

Of all the questions I am asked by mothers, few incidents raise as much concern as head injuries in children. And few injuries are as scary-looking as a giant purple knot on a child’s forehead. The scalp and face have a generous blood flow, and with little fat between the skin and the bone to absorb the impact, these areas of... was about 3 and a half.

When crisis hits, we often turn to the loving support of family and friends. But if none of them have gone through a similar experience, we can be left feeling alone- as if no one understands what we are going through. If this is the case for you, seeking a support group can help tremendously.

Even though only about 5% of children have clinically proven food allergies, one in three people say they either have a food allergy or modify what they feed their family because of a suspected food allergy.
