Take early care of your children’s teeth

nullWell, many parents think that it’s too early to teach children how to take care of their teeth, but it is not like that. However, many parents are unaware of the fact that the time to start daily cleanings is before babies have any teeth at all. We have to teach them in the early stages itself to take proper care of their teeth. Here are some tips that will help you to guide your child.

1) A whopping 15% of kids have baby bottle cavities, received after going to bed with a baby bottle. Cut this habit.

2) It is a general belief that choclates is the worst thing for children’s teeth, in actuality, any foods that contains sugar or carbohydrates that can be broken down by the bacteria in a child’s mouth can cause cavities. So, the cookies can be worse for teeth than candy.

3) Use an open cup instead of a chippy cup as kids don’t suck on it and hence there will be less sugar on the mouth longer.

4) Children should be given fluoridated toothpaste after their second birthday. Fluoride can be harmful to your child. Feed your child on green leafy vegetables which itself is high in fluoride.

5) Incurred the habit in your child of brushing while looking at the mirror. In this way a child will enjoy the whole process of brushing and can remove a lot more plaque.

Skin Care Tips for Children With Brown Skin

Ringworm of the head, also referred to as tinea capitis, is a very common condition in children generally occurring between the ages of 3 – 7 years. Tinea capitis is an infection caused by fungus. Millions of people are carriers of the fungus that causes tinea capitis, but do not show symptoms. In the United States, infection is usually transferred from human to human or from animal (pets) to human. This transfer can occur anywhere but for children it often occurs at daycare and at school. This infection does not pose a significant health risk to the child, but hair loss can occur and treatment can improve the child’s self-esteem, especially if the infection and resulting hair loss are extensive.

The appearance of tinea capitis may vary and depends upon the amount of inflammation involved. There may be one or several scaly (flaky) circular patches. Alternatively, the scales may be widespread, similar to dandruff. Some infected areas may have broken hairs giving the appearance of small black dots. In some cases, crusted yellow patches accumulate around a hair shaft. This patch can thicken producing a cheese or mouse-like odor. Tinea capitis can also cause localized boggy swelling and pus filled bump formation which can be accompanied by enlarged neck lymph nodes and fever. The pus filled bumps can also spread throughout the scalp.

Diagnosis of tinea capitis may require scraping of the scales from the scalp or removing infected hairs for culture. Without treatment, tinea capitis can spread to other body locations or lead to permanent hair loss. For children, there is only one approved drug for treatment in the United States, griseofulvin by mouth. This medication works best when taken with fatty foods. Typically, the child has to take the medication for 6 to 8 weeks. Re-infection can be avoided by throwing away all combs, brushes, hair ornaments, hat and helmets one treatment has been started. Children should be taught never to share combs, brushes, hats, etc.

The psychological impact on children from this disease can be extensive due to the scaling and hair loss. Rejection from family members and mockery by classmates can be devastating. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment should be sought as it can be a great comfort to these children.

Parents find comfort in child-care cover

It’s as simple as providing a doctor’s certificate and getting your money back – minus child-care benefits.

“When you are trying to work and you have young children in child care and they are unwell it gets very expensive,” Ms King said.

“You have to pay the fees to keep the place. I thought, wouldn’t it be great if there was some kind of insurance around that covered that gap.” Ms King, who runs baby expo company Parenting Australia, took her proposal to Telstra Businesswoman of the Year, Carole-Anne Priest, chief executive of Altiora Insurance Solutions.

“She thought it was great and the product came to the market really quickly because there was nothing out there like it,” Ms King said.

The idea of pitching insurance at the young parent market has caught on. Ms Priest visited Lloyds of London last week to discuss a number of other specifically tailored insurance products.

The child-care cover costs $61 a year for people who pay up to $200 a week in fees and $91 for those who pay more than $200 a week.

Ms King said the daily cost of child care in Sydney ranged from $70 to $120 depending on the child-care centre.

Working mother Julie Blair took out the cover after her 14-month-old baby Connor fell ill with gastroenteritis.

When Mrs Blair went back to full-time work as a scientist in September, her son picked up the stomach bug in his first week in child care. He then had three colds.

“In the first six weeks he came down with something different each week,” she said.

Connor attends the Stella Maris Child Care Centre in Frenchs Forest five days a week.

If he is sick for a week, the Blairs are left $425 out of pocket.

Mrs Blair decided to take out the insurance in October. “It’s more for our own peace of mind,” she said.

The cover meant that she did not have to pay out for child care on top of staying at home and losing income.

Tanya Durant from Glenwood is a single mother who works full-time.

She got the cover a few months ago after being stuck when her four-year-old daughter, Abi, had gastroenteritis and was in hospital for a week.

“Both my children are in day care. It’s a bit like a tag team – one’s sick when the other isn’t,” she said.

“I’m running out of sick days and there’s the double compounded cost factor … which is what motivated me to get the insurance.”
