Child Intake: Fill & Download for Free

This, in my opinion, is part of a weird phenomenon in this society that I am struggling to put into words, but I'll give it a try.I often call this an overabundance of caution run amok. As an example, suppose you find out that its better for children to drink water than it is for them to drink juice. Perhaps your child's dentist tells you to quit putting grape juice in a bottle for them at night, so you quit giving your child juice all the time, and start increasing your child's intake of water.A few years later, you notice that a public awareness campaign has been launched in an attempt to decrease cavities in children, they have commercials, billboards, and a variety of other media informing parents that something as innocent as juice can cause tooth decay. Over the next several years, “don't give kids too much juice” morphs into, “Kids can't have juice, ever.” The call for moderation turns into a restriction, that if disobeyed might cause a disastrous outcome, no one knows exactly how much juice is bad, so they just get rid of juice altogether.What I just described happened with dogs and chocolate. When I was a kid, we often gave our dogs chocolate, not in large amounts, but we'd give it to them just like any other table scrap, you know the concept- we'd cut them in for a bite if we were having it.But there were people who would give their dogs large amounts of chocolate. I actually had a friend back in the eighties who would buy bags of Hershey's Kisses to use to reward her poodle for good behavior. Because some dog owners were giving dogs a detrimental amount of chocolate, a public awareness campaign was launched to make dog owners aware that too much chocolate can hurt dogs. And just as in my example juice became evil for children, chocolate is now never to pass the lips of a dog.In an effort to preach moderation, we went too far.BTW- Lest you think my juice example is fictional, I answered a question here on Quora, and in the answer, I spoke about giving my children juice with dinner, and the number of people who chastised me for giving my children juice became utterly ridiculous.Give your dog a piece of chocolate now and then, but keep it in moderation. :)

Absolutely! Its not a cocain farm. You teach your kids say no to drugs, don’t talk to strangers, look both ways before you cross the street, ect right? To keep them safe, right? There is probably no safer, better instruction anywhere on how to handle a gun safely thqn there. I recoypu ask your child to plan on teaching you how to handle guns safely when they get home! Not to make you a ‘gun person ‘ per se, but to improve how a child intakes and stores information. Trust me, that makes a big difference.

In terms of maintaining day to day regularity, a child should eat a diet high in fruits (not juice), green, yellow, and red vegetables, beans, and whole grains. He/she should drink plenty of water.If a child is constipated, prunes are excellent for getting things moving. With a very young child, pureed baby food prunes can be offered on a spoon or mixed with formula or milk. Increasing the child's intake of water will help, and if the child isn't drinking enough, adding some juice to the water may make it more palatable.If the child is having difficulty moving his/her bowels, despite a good diet, try using a stool softener instead of a laxative. For babies and young children, a glycerine suppository is often very effective.
