Children Learn What They Live By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.
In my opinion, children really are the “Greatest Love of All“. They are our future and each and every one of them deserves a fair chance at a happy life. The behavioral problems I struggled with as a child made confused and frustrated adults snap at me, mock me, ridicule me, hit me or simply not believe me.
As an adult who has discovered I have many of the symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome I can tell you that though I understand my behavior better now, the pain of being rejected and abused never goes away. A child who is verbally, physically or sexually abused usually develops PTSD and has difficulty functioning as an adult.
Why You Shouldn’t Fight a Fever
“Give me a fever, and I can cure any illness” ~ Hippocrates
If your child comes down with a fever, what’s the first thing you usually do? Tuck him into bed and reach for some aspirin? If so, you’re like most parents.

Cavities May Begin Much Earlier In Childhood

The conventional wisdom regarding baby teeth is that parents don’t need to do much in the way of oral hygiene until they actually have something to brush. Infants’ teeth typically begin to erupt between the ages of 6 and 14 months. Once the teeth erupt, they should be cared for just like adult teeth would be. Flossing to dislodge plaque and food particles may be a bit difficult, because most baby teeth have significant gaps between them that don’t fill in until later.
Some new research conducted at the University of Illinois on bacteria in the mouths of infants may require a rewrite of the dental assistant training curriculum. Research shows that bacteria responsible for causing cavities in children, known as early childhood caries (ECC), is present in infant saliva. ECC is a bacterial infection that causes severe tooth decay in young children.
You're not alone and you're not crazy.
When you suffer from mystery symptoms, that's what you need to hear. I know how it feels to be called a hypochondriac or told your symptoms are "all in your head". They're not. I suffered for 22 years with chronic stomach pain, muscle aches, yeast infections, brain fog and terrible fatigue until a homeopathic doctor told me he knew what was wrong with me: I had gluten intolerance. This blog is dedicated to you. You're still struggling to figure out what's causing your mystery symptoms. Don't give up. The answer is out there and I can help you find it.
