Eliminating Fear in Children

Posted by senoya on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 , under | comments (0)




Fear experienced by children are common. However, you'll want to help overcome these fears did not continue to be a phobia.

Feeling anxious in certain situations that are not comfortable, certainly not fun. However, fear is actually a natural condition that helps individuals protect themselves from a danger, while giving a new experience. In fact, in children, these feelings are not only normal, but also desperately needed.

Feeling and coping with anxiety can help children prepare for the experience confusing and challenging situations in life. Have fears and worries about certain things can actually help to maintain the behavior. For example, a child with a fear of fire would be made to avoid playing with matches.

Ironically, the fear of it arises because the child "passed on" parents. For fear of something or a particular condition, without conscious parents would prohibit children with a way to intimidate him. For example, "Be careful there are cats, then you scratched!" Or "Well, if eating out enggak, Mama let panggilin physician injectors you!".

Indeed, such methods are very tokcer for "forcing" children to obey parents' wishes. As a result, children are always afraid if they see even heard any figures or animals already considered him creepy. In fact, figures or animals that had been considered little scary is, in fact completely harmless.

Form expression of fear itself can stuff. Usually through crying, screaming, hiding, or do not want to escape from her parents. Typically, this fear will disappear naturally over time. When children feel secure with himself or his environment, the fear was gone. Of course, parental support is needed.

The problem is, when fear had settled and resolved so that the impact on daily activities of children. In fact, could lead to a pathological fear. In fact, can lead to exaggerated fears phobias alias because have experienced a particular event or trauma.

Trauma can be psychological or physical. For example because of fear of rats; every time she saw the animal, he would cry out of fear. Phobia also started following the general pressures of life. Once the phobia has infected it can spread to the other senses.

If to lead to a phobia, the child's life may be stunted. In fact, if too great a sense of fear, the child can not do anything. Why? Because for some people, phobias elusive. That is why, this is often used as the month-monthly, ridicule, teasing my friends around.

"If you do not do therapy and intensive care, children who suffer from excessive fear this will bring a big risk to adults later," said Lena Reuterskiƶld, a phobia therapist from The Swedish Research Council.

Object of the child's own fears can be divided into two groups, namely the fear of an object or a particular animal, such as fire, cockroaches, rats. Then, fear of certain situations. Fear of open space or a fear of heights for example. Type the last fear is fear of a particular social atmosphere. For example fear of being in the new class.

To overcome the excessive fear of children, parents should be done is to awaken a child's self-concept positive so confident as capital to enter the outside world. Keep the child knew his name with all the positive disandangnya predicate. Give children the opportunity to interact with the outside world. Engage in any social activities that enable their involvement, such as attending a family gathering or shopping at the store.

No less important is to establish communication with the child during the interaction process going on. Parents introduce people, places or things that happened during these activities take place. Ask and understand the feelings experienced by children during the activities take place. Also, give assurance that the environment where he is now a pleasant place filled with people who are fun too.

You should also instill the nature of courage. Start with things small. For example your child get used to the bathroom alone. If your baby is the age of 3 or 4 years old, you should begin to familiarize your child to sleep alone. Turn off the lights while sleeping can also begin to try.

Parents also can do attitude of empathy and support. Can be shown empathy with the parents how to understand and view it from the perspective of children. Help your child understand what he's experienced or felt.

Give opportunities for children to discuss what he felt or what was he experienced it. Give an explanation and wise to make sure that what he feared was not true.

By the time the child was scared, the toy is one thing that can comfort the child. When a child is sick for example, toys they like and also adequate for their condition can be used as their companion, so there is entertainment that they feel. In addition, toys can also divert attention from the child's stress experience.

If you fear your child looks like a cause excessive stress, it might be a sign of the need to seek help from the outside as the counselor, psychiatrist, or psychologist.

The parents should notice the pattern. If this incident can be resolved, do not make it significantly more than that. However, if the pattern looks the same constant, the parents must do an act. If not, fobianya will continue to affect the child. Contact your doctor or mental health professionals who are used to working with children and adolescents.

"Children who are physically active has a concentration level which is better and it strongly supports academic achievement in school," said Jack Kern, professor of kinesiology at the University of Arkansas, United States.


Various studies have shown, plays an effective stimulation to support optimal child growth. Two psychologists, Jerome Bruner and Brian Sutton-Smith, who examined the development of human cognitive said, playing to produce relaxed atmosphere, so children easily learn various ways to overcome problems encountered when playing. According to both, at the time of play children often engage in problem-solving process.


Meanwhile D.G. Singer & J. Singer, a senior researcher and professor in the field of developmental psychology from the United States, in their book The House of Make Believe, said that many preschool children spend time playing sosiodrama, generally more pronounced in the competence and intellectual development.

Women who smoke are likely to begin to enter menopause before the age of 45 years and also make them face the risk of osteoporosis and heart attacks, researchers reported on Norway.


"Among many as 2123 women aged 59 to 60 years, those who currently smoked, 59% more likely to experience premature menopause compared with women who did not smoke," said Dr. Thea F. Mikkelsen of the University of Oslo and colleagues.


For the heaviest smokers, the risk of early menopause nearly doubled. However, women who formerly smoked, but stopped at least 10 years before menopause, basically less likely to stop menstruating compared with smokers before the age of 45 years.


There is evidence that smoking later in life makes a woman more likely to experience premature menopause, while smokers who quit before middle age may not be affected, Mikkelsen and his team said in the journal Free, BMC Public Health.


They examine the relationship further and determine whether exposure to secondhand smoke may also affect the time of menopause. The researchers found that nearly 10% of women enter menopause before the age of 45 years.


As many as 25% were current smokers, 28.7% were former smokers and 35.2% reported current passive smokers. Current smokers were 59% more likely to enter early menopausemenopause almost two times more common among women who smoked the most. before the age of 45 years, while


But women who had quit smoking at least a decade before menopause is 87% more likely than their peers who currently smoked and had entered early menopause.


Compared with married women, widows also face an increased risk of early menopause, as well as women who said their health conditions worse. More educated women less likely to enter premature menopause, but they are also less likely to be smokers.


Involvement in social activities also reduce the risk of premature menopause. The researchers found no link between coffee or alcohol consumption or passive smokers with risk of premature menopause.

"The sooner a woman stops smoking," said Mikkelsen and his team, "More protection which he got in connection with the arrival of early menopause".

Posted by senoya on , under , , | comments (0)




Do not regard lightly placenta praevia. According to doctors, pregnant women with the condition where the placenta blocking the birth canal, including high-risk pregnancies. Can not denied that pregnancy in every person is different. There are expectant mothers who have many complaints, some that felt he had no problems whatsoever. But sometimes, though not showing any symptoms does not mean free from the problem, because nearly 80% of pregnant women who suffer from placenta praevia actually thought pregnancy safe.

Early Detection
There are three types of placenta praevia, the classification is based on the grade. There was a placenta covering the whole birth canal, called placenta praevia totalis. If the placenta is only covering part of the birth canal is called placenta praevia partialis. If the placenta is only slightly touched the mouth of the uterus is called placenta marginalis. Every pregnancy with placenta praevia certainly has to give birth through a process of operation. In some cases there is a condition where the placenta is located at the bottom and not to touch the cervix. This condition is called placenta lies low and there is still chance to natural childbirth.

According to Dr. Ivan R Here, an obstetric and gynecologist from the Mother's Hospital, Central Jakarta, until now the medical world was not yet able to determine the cause of the displacement of the placenta that can block the birth canal, likewise with how to restore the location to the normal position. The traditional ways like a bow or even mopping the floor, no effect on the condition of placenta praevia. "There is no other way to deal with placenta praevia unless early detect," said Dr. Ivan. "It was at the time of implantation (time in which the placenta attached to the fetus) in pregnant women, approximately 2% where the placenta is under. But it still could change again," said Dr. Ivan. "Therefore there is an important time for women to perform ultrasound, at the age of 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. We did an ultrasound as well also check where the location of the placenta, so if from the beginning we can alert if the location of the placenta was at the bottom," added dr. Ivan.

Caesar, The only Way

At 32-36 weeks gestation, ultrasound should be done again. This is the final time, where the location of the placenta can not be moved again. If the condition is so, then a caesarean is the only option.

Cesarean section on pregnancy with placenta praevia conditions are relatively safe, but there are some situations in which the mother makes a risky operation, namely: the age factor, a second pregnancy with placenta praevia and have had many children.

For the expectant mothers who are pregnant, what is important is knowing when to go to the doctor. Especially if there is bleeding that is not accompanied by pain. Placenta praevia should look out for, though you may not feel it and still be active as usual.

Women who take DES to prevent miscarriage have a higher risk of breast cancer.
13 radiation.

Symptoms and Signs
The initial symptoms in the form of a lump that is usually perceived differently from the surrounding breast tissue, painless and usually have an irregular edge.

It is important to make early diagnosis of breast cancer since it is easier to treat if still in early stages.

Self breast examination, clinical breast examination and mammography as a screening procedure can be used to detect cancer at an early stage.

Management
Treatment usually begins after the comprehensive assessment of the condition of the patient, i.e. about 1 week or more after the biopsy.
The treatment consists of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormone inhibitors.

Radiation therapy used to kill cancer cells in the tumor removal and the surrounding area, including the lymph nodes.

Chemotherapy (a combination of drugs to kill cells that multiply quickly or pressing breeding) and drug-hormone inhibitors (drugs that affect the hormones that support the growth of cancer cells) are used to suppress the growth of cancer cells throughout the body.
