Connect With Kids - New This Week
|
|
|
'Pharm' Parties
In a new survey, American teens say it's easier to buy prescription drugs than it is to buy beer. Where do kids get oxycontin and vicodin and Percocet? The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse says half of them get the drugs from parents- either their parents or the parents of a friend.
Lack of Sleep Leads to High Blood Pressure
A new study of teenagers from Case Western Reserve University shows a dramatic connection between good health and a good night's sleep. Kids who have trouble sleeping are twice, even three times as likely to suffer from high blood pressure.
Cheerleading Injuries
In a new study just released about girls and sports injuries, this may come as a shock: most of the serious, disabling sport injuries suffered by girl athletes each year happen to cheerleaders. It seems the sport is no longer confined to waving pom-pons and cheering for the home team.
Food Allergies Impact
Among the millions of kids back in school, an estimated 2 million will have to be especially careful at lunch time. Many of them will not be able to buy food from the cafeteria; they will sit alone and eat a lunch made by their mom or dad. These are kids with food allergies.
Treating A Snakebite
If your child were out hiking and got bitten by a poisonous snake, would you know what to do? A scene from an old western movie comes to mind- where the hero cuts open the wound and sucks out the venom.Is that a good idea?
Mom's Advice May Curb Binge Drinking
100 college presidents are asking lawmakers around the nation to lower the drinking age to 18. The presidents of Duke, Morehouse, Dartmouth and Ohio State argue that lowering the drinking age will reduce binge drinking. A study from Boise State University, however suggests there is another way to solve the problem: a good talking-to from mom.
Bullying at School
Researchers at the National Education Association report that on a given school day, as many as 160 thousand children skip school. And one of the principal reasons for avoiding school is that kids are afraid.
Academic Pressure
In the latest poll of American teens, competition inside this generation of kids is growing more intense. Year after year, the pressure to get good grades and get into a good college has been building, according to the "State of our Nation's Youth" report.
High School Transition
According to a survey of 6,500 teens by the Partnership for a Drug Free America, 73 percent said the number one reason they turn to drugs and alcohol is to relieve stress at school. As the new school year begins, how can you help your teen adjust?
Kindergarten Anxiety
Going to school for the first time can be a thrilling and exciting experience for some kids. But for many others, it's nothing short of terrifying.
Dyslexia
Children with dyslexia typically struggle for years to get through their reading and writing lessons. With hard work and even tutoring, many of them can succeed in school, or even excel. But a new study from Carnegie Mellon reports, for some dyslexic children, there now may be a cure.
Sneaking Into R-Rated Movies
Researchers at Dartmouth School of Medicine found that more than 2.5 million tweens- kids aged ten to fourteen- have seen movies restricted to older teens and adults. Some are watching them on the Internet, others at home and still others are sneaking into the theaters.
Summer Homework
Millions of kids this summer didn't get much of a break from homework. At the insistence of their parents, they were reading and writing and studying all summer long, at least in part to avoid forgetting what they learned in school last spring.
Kids' Meals
Today, more than ever, parents are worried about what their children are eating and how much and how often. And the challenge of a healthy diet doesn't end when you go out to eat and get handed a kids' menu.
Dangers of Diving
Every year, over 6,500 kids end up in hospital emergency rooms after diving into a lake or swimming pool. The most likely to get hurt: boys 10 to 14 years of age.
ADHD Over-Diagnosed?
While the number of young children diagnosed with A-D-H-D has been holding steady, the number of older kids ... teenagers with attention problems has gone up every year since 1997. That's according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And some experts worry that many of these teens are being misdiagnosed.
Exercise Reduces Drug Use
Is vigorous exercise a way to prevent some kids from abusing drugs? Recent animal studies suggest that the answer might be yes, in part because of what happens inside the brain during exercise.
Girls As Good As Boys in Math
For years, girls have been steadily catching up to boys in their scores on standardized math tests. And yet, some female students say the old belief that boys are better at math than girls still exists, even among parents.
Heat Exposure
So far this year, an estimated 24 children have died from heat exposure while left alone in an automobile. One of the reasons hyperthermia is so dangerous for young children is the way they are made.
Shaken Baby Syndrome (ER)
As many as 1,400 times a year, an infant is injured when it is shaken by a mom or dad or a baby-sitter. The shaking can last only a few seconds, and yet the injuries are often terrible and can last a lifetime.
