Question 3

how do i get my child to take his medicine?  he's very stubborn.

Accepted Answer

Who is the parent!: Children need to understand why.  But it could also be the taste.  Compounding pharmacies can make virutally all medicines palitable.  Remember, taking medicine makes children feel different and reminds them something is wrong, partuclarly with chronic issues.  I have this problem with adolescents coming with parents who don't take their medications regularly. Some with serious illnesses.

Question 4

This is not a normal: Response. If he is dissociated and enraged, this could be a dangerous situation. Recommend that he obtain psychiatric evaluation to explore this further.

Question 5

is it true that the person who lift weights he's growth will stop ?

Accepted Answer

Only with steroids: There is no truth tha lifting will stunt your growth, However, at 18 you may still have some growth time left. If you take steroids like testosterone you will seal the areas on your bones that allow for growth and yes in that instance you could stunt any growth you may have had,
Don't use steroids just exercise and you will be fine.

Reassurance: Depending on age, tell an adopted child that some children are born to their mother, others are especially chosen, and the chosen ones are just as loved as those who are born physically.  Explain that you will love him so much that you will teach him the right things to do, give him rules, support him whenever he needs you.  If he looks dramatically different than your family, reassure him.

Question 8

my son just got his 2 month vac., he's been sick since, could this b from them?

Accepted Answer

No: No, these vaccines are all dead biruses and not able to cause illness. Some fever, yes possible for a few days after shots, but full illness no. Just coincidental, or you picked up the illness from a sick kid at the docs office.

Question 9

my kid's grades are slipping and he seems distant.  how can i determine is he's on drugs?

Accepted Answer

Kids on Drugs: Suspect drug use by your child? Get a hair sample first. You may find a drug screening kit online. Best is a urine sample to screen. Ask you son daughter for a urine sample. Your concern for his or her health should override your concern for not offending your child.

Question 10

son born @20 in. has grown an in ea month, but he's about to b 3 mos & still 22 in concern?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: Children grow at different rates. Your child's pediatrician will follow your son's growth and if it remains consistent, this is good. If your child slows in growth considerably over a certain time frame, the pediatrician may want to look into reasons for this change. You can track your son's progress and watch for problems on a chart, but go to all check up visits. http://www.medcalc.com/growth/.
