Question 4

why does my 6-year-old always seem to be sick?

: More details would be helpful. A healthy diet is recommended. Discuss whether a supplemental drink and vitamins would be indicated with your pediatrician with a review of the growth chart. The other considerations are how many, the type of infections and whether there is cause for concern. It is not uncommon for 5-6 colds/year.Use hand washing and sanitizer, keep vaccinations up to date.

Question 5

Family Practice: No. He will need to adjust his diet entire life. Find a good dr that can help you. But with the DX early in his life he can lessen potential colon injury.

Question 6

my 6 year old has smelly underarms, what can we do?

Accepted Answer

Deodorant: The odor producing glands are under the influence of the adrenal glands and can begin activity as early as 6 in normal kids. This is a prelude to puberty but not necessarily part of it. If you notice any rapid growth or signs of pubertal change (other than this) I'd have an evaluation done.

Question 7

can you tell me how i could help my upset 6 year old?

Accepted Answer

Upset about what?: It depends what she is upset about. If she won't tell you and she is so upset that it is affecting her ability to eat, sleep, or play, you should ask your pediatrician to check her and consider taking her to a child psychiatrist or a therapist who specializes in children.

Question 8

can you tell me is benching 105 healthy for a 13.6 year old?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends on how far into puberty the child is and, yes, whether this is a boy or girl. To bench that weight the child should be a boy who is at least a year or two into puberty where he has the increased bone strength to handle this amount of weight. 13 1/2 year old boys vary greatly - talk to kids pediatrician whether they are ready or not yet.

Question 9

my 6 year old does not like to eat. is that bad? what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Not eating: Kids go through multiple growth, and therefore appetite stages. Typically 3-7 is sort of slow growth, lower appetite and picky eaters. Don't worry, by the time the child is 9yrs, it will probably be eating you out of house and home.
