Your little ones can learn a lot about safety if you take some time to teach them. Here's an ABC that you and your children can recite together.

Young children may bite others out of frustration or stress, or because they feel powerless. Infants and toddlers often bite as a way of exploring their world.

Encopresis can develop from long-term constipation. Once a child becomes constipated, he or she may avoid using the bathroom because of discomfort. Stool can become impacted and unable to move forward.

Scalp ringworm isn’t caused by a worm. The infection is the result of a fungus, the same one that leads to athlete’s foot.

Stuttering may occur in a child with normal developmental speech problems who is pressured to speak better. The child's struggle to improve speech actually makes the problem worse.

Thumb sucking is normal in infants and young children. It shouldn't cause any permanent problems if your child stops by age 5.

Before making a decision on a camp, though, you should consider what kind of camping experience will benefit both your child and family.

ADHD is a behavior disorder usually first diagnosed in childhood. It is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and, in some cases, hyperactivity.

Autism is not one single disorder, but refers to a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders.

A child with autism appears to live in his or her own world, showing little interest in others and a lack of social awareness.

Learning disorders are sometimes called learning disabilities. Most children with learning disorders have normal intelligence, but they have difficulty with reading, math, or another academic area.

Children with ODD may refuse to follow commands or requests made by parents, teachers, or other adults.

School phobia can be seen in young children going to school for the first time, in older children who fear a bully or mean teacher, and in children who are anxious about leaving their parents.

Enuresis is the medical term for bedwetting, or accidental urination in children who should be able to control their bladder. Girls usually have bladder control before boys do. The diagnosis of enuresis is for girls older than 5 and for boys older than 6.

Spinal curvature from scoliosis may occur on the right or left side of the spine, or on both sides in different sections.

Kyphosis is a forward curvature of the spine. It is a type of spinal deformity and should not be confused with poor posture.

When children believe they are different in some way, they feel bad. Whether because of their height or some other characteristic, they are going to be aware of differences.

When your child acts as if she’s carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, maybe you should check her backpack.
