Some parents have found that their children often experience inattention, hyperactivity, and even strange noises in their daily lives. May this be due to Tourette syndrome?
Tourette's syndrome is more common in children aged 4-12 years old. In the early stages, it often manifests as involuntary blinking, shaking the head, shrugging, and other symptoms. In the later stages, vocal tics may occur, often manifested as involuntary throat sounds, roars, and other symptoms. If parents find that their child repeatedly experiences the above symptoms, they must take their child to the hospital for treatment.
Tourette's syndrome is a psychological disorder that often fluctuates with the child's mental state. When the child is nervous, anxious, and lacks sleep, the condition will worsen; In a state of mental relaxation or after sleep, the condition may alleviate or even the symptoms may disappear. Meanwhile, children with Tourette's syndrome are more sensitive than normal children. Therefore, parents need to pay more attention to the emotions of children with Tourette syndrome and provide them with sufficient sense of security.
In addition, it is necessary to ensure that children with Tourette syndrome have sufficient outdoor exercise and rest time to avoid excessive academic pressure that can worsen the condition of Tourette syndrome.
Does precocious puberty affect a child's development? How to prevent precocious puberty?
Premature puberty refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics in boys before the age of 9 and girls before the age of 8. Men exhibit thickened hair, long Adam's apple, and altered voice, while women exhibit breast development and menarche.
Premature puberty is divided into central precocious puberty and peripheral precocious puberty. Central precocious puberty, also known as true precocious puberty, is often caused by central nervous system disorders (such as thalamic, pituitary tumors, or other central nervous system disorders). Children with precocious puberty not only exhibit secondary sexual characteristics, but also have a mature reproductive system, which is more common in boys. Peripheral precocious puberty, also known as pseudoprecocious puberty, is a condition in which the body's steroid hormones rise to puberty levels due to various reasons, with only secondary sexual characteristics and no accompanying reproductive system maturation.
Premature puberty can lead to early development in children. If not treated in time, children may end up with short stature due to premature closure of their epiphyses, or may develop psychological disorders. Its incidence is related to family factors, environmental factors, dietary factors, etc.
To prevent premature puberty in children, parents should do the following: Firstly, children should not consume tonifying drugs such as deer antler, ginseng, and purple river chariot, and should also control their intake of high calorie and high-fat foods, such as fast food and puffed foods. Secondly, children should not be exposed to electronic products too early or for a long time, especially avoiding exposure to sexual content. Finally, it should be noted that if a child's father experiences first nocturnal emission or if the mother's menarche occurs earlier, the probability of the child developing precocious puberty is also higher.
