do social networking websites raise my child's risk of substance abuse?

Question

How can I help a neighbor child who had been abused?

Answer 1

Depends: This would depend the type of people on the site. Drug use and experimentation is influenced by peer pressure. You need to know what sites your child is using and monitor the use.

Answer 2

No: It is a personal choice - educate the dangers.

Answer 3

Starts with desire!: See your primary care doctor first to get a check-up. Then, follow the mediterranean diet, daily physical activity 300 minutes per week for life. Reduce alcohol intake to 1 glass of wine 3-4 times per week. Avoid unsaturated fats, eat lots of good fats, eat and drink well in moderation. Eat protein at all meals and do not skip meals!

Answer 4

Difficult teens: The teen years are not just a problem for parents. Teens go through puberty at differing rates which triggers a lot of "am i normal" thoughts. They become self conscious about weight, clothing, hair, sexuality, money etc as their brain matures & they see the diversity in their friends.Significant anxiety occurs in up to half & many need third party counseling thru the rough spots.

Answer 5

Confidence: Perhaps it is: peer influence, including judgmental behaviors creates anxiety and self-doubt about almost everything a teen says, does, dresses, etc. Confidence improves with success in relationships, school work, and moving through the teen years. Don't forget to talk to your kids!

Answer 6

Yes: There is no reason for a child to drink energy drinks. Sports drinks are unnecessary most of the time and typically have too much sugar.

Answer 7

Yes: Children should not drink energy drinks. And water is best when playing sports.

Answer 8

Yes: I don't let them run in the street or play with broken glass.This is no different, except that advertisers have made them appealing to the easily swayed audience. Your need to provide proper parental supervision is not lessened by the popularity of junk drinks.Their risk is less obvious, but risk remains.

Answer 9

Be very careful: Not recommended to ride bike with history of syncope. One accident could be disasterous. Check with the doctor that diagnosed the syncope.

Answer 10

Deafness, neurologic: 10% of affected fetuses are symptomatic at birth: small size for gestational age, hepatosplenomegaly, petechiae and purpura of the skin, and jaundice at birth. >2/3 of the newborns with symptomatic congenital CMV infection will have neurologic involvement, including microcephaly, seizures, abnormal neurologic examination, and feeding difficulties. Most have progressive deafness (sensorineural).

Answer 11

Varies considerably: This can have a small impact or lead to abortion and major organ damage. The earlier in pregnancy a mother has it, the more likely it will be devastating. If it happens near the end, there may be isolated progressive hearing loss & other issues but the kid usually is otherwise normal.
