Conversations that   bite nails harmful (leads to the appearance of burrs and worms), in real life a little help. It is necessary to weaken a little control - everything is repeated again. The stronger the pressure on the child, the longer it is delayed the habit. Doctors claim that its very appearance already suggests that the mind is not too stable, in need of artificial calm.

Biting nails, man ... feels relieved. So often can not get rid of her and into adulthood.

Many parents complain that their children do not fall asleep at night. It is possible, mothers and fathers simply placed their babies to bed too early.

It is important that the baby went to bed at the right time, which must coincide with its internal clock. If it occurs too early, the child for hours tossing and turning in bed. Over time this will lead to the fact that for him laying in bed will be associated with some active measures, not sleeping.

This level depends on many factors and it varies from child to child. It is therefore important to determine when the internal clock signal toddler bedtime, so during this time and send him to bed. On average, if the child lies at 8.10 pm, he falls asleep in the 8.30. But if the child does not want to fall asleep   more than an hour, it means that the time has been selected correctly, and parents need to try the next time put him a little later.

Sleep disorders in childhood lead to all sorts of emotional and psychological problems in the later period. "The right time for bedtime should be chosen and the children and their parents - said the study's author, Professor of Psychology Monique Leburzhe. - If you went to bed and fell asleep within 20-30 minutes, while the chosen wrong.

Children eat too much salt

The seven-year children today consume salt more than the recommended diet for an adult. Excess salt in the diet of children leads to the formation of a variety of diseases including heart diseases and cancer.

Experts in the field of healthy nutrition emphasize that contained in finished products such as heated by pasta or cereal, salt   unacceptably high. And it becomes another addition to the already high amount of salt that children receive every day.

Doctors recommend an adult per day to consume no more than six grams of salt. And it's not just about the product in its pure form, which we add to food, but also of the salt that is already in the semi-finished or finished food. According to British researchers, today children's diet and adolescents aged 7 to 14 years, contains an average of 6, 4 grams of salt for boys and 5 for girls 6 g. If the adults were able to reduce salt   at diet for children   42%, this would reduce more than two times the number of patients suffering from high blood pressure.

In general, the British children and adolescents who consume too much salt, the risk in adulthood of becoming victims of serious diseases, including Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. In addition, poor children's diet   and lack of physical activity leads to a surge in childhood obesity. Even today, his victims are 10% of all students of preparatory classes, and 18% of children aged 10-11 years.

Kidney stones in children: a new epidemic

The number of children suffering from kidney stones in the past few years is growing. Scientists can not explain what it is connected.

In many countries there is a significant increase in the number of children suffering from urolithiasis . In some hospitals in the United States the number of such young patients over the past 10 years has increased many times over. Often the disease is accompanied by painful cramps and requires surgery or ultrasonic lithotripsy.

It is known that from kidney stones Usually affects people over forty. Stones are formed by those whose urine contains a large amount of crystal-forming substances, such as calcium, uric acid and oxalate. In many cases, kidney stones are washed out using any liquid, but sometimes their passage cause acute episodes of pain called renal colic. Especially hard it is necessary for patients who have a stone stuck in the ureter and comes out in the urine.

Scientists can not explain the strange phenomenon - why this disease has become more common in children. Thus, in one study are startling figures: the number of children suffering urolithiasis , From 1996 to 2007 in North Carolina has quadrupled.

While talking about this phenomenon as a trend is too early, because the statistical information is not enough, existing figures should alert specialists. In 1999, 42 pediatric hospitals in the United States was treated 125 children urolithiasis . In 2008 the figure was already 1389 - an increase of more than 10 times! In 1999   stones in the kidneys found in 18 out of every 100,000 children, and today it is 57.

In other countries, there is a similar situation. Only in Japan, the number of children with urolithiasis , From 1965 to 2005 were not statistically different. Probably, formation of stones affect large-scale offensive on the children's stomachs harmful fast food and so-called "junk" food, such as chips, cakes and soda. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the current generation of children are more overweight and is far less sedentary lives than their peers of 15-20 years ago.

My parents are divorced - the child becomes stupid

American researchers have found that parental divorce has irreparable and negative impact on the ability of their children to learn. In addition, such children are less likely to give birth to make friends.

When the father and mother divorced, the child appear difficulties with math and friends, according to US researchers. Compared with their classmates, who have complete families, children of divorced parents learn to steadily worse, they suffer from loneliness and prolonged depression. And very high risk that they will never fix the mark and become more sociable.

This was reported in a study conducted by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and published in the journal American Sociological Review. Scientists came to this conclusion on the basis of gloomy five-year observations. The whole period of the experts carefully monitor the academic performance and emotional state of the children whose parents are going through a divorce. Total observation underwent 3585 children.

Of course, the decline in the psychological mood of these children do not go on forever, and after some time after parents' divorce   they come to life. But their performance remains at the same low level, as well as the ability to communicate with friends. All because of the enormous stress, through which children who watched their parents no longer love each other and parted. Moreover, divorce is often accompanied by a clarification of the question of with whom the child permanently to live, so he has to decide whom he "loves".

Furthermore, also in the child impact and economic difficulties, since after parents' divorce   the welfare of his small family is shrinking. And sometimes the baby is watching as his mother or father suffers from depression. This study was yet another illustration of how a heavy blow to the child's well-being becomes a parental divorce.

Today, many young people just can not imagine myself without favorite pop. A daily dose of sweet drinks that teens drink, can range from 300 grams to 1, 5 liters per day.

The main question that interested the scientists: how many teens were drinking during the week soda ? In addition to the answer to the question of young people were asked to tell about all the cases of aggressive action in relation to their peers. And also, whether they were with him during the week preceding the survey cold or firearms.
