Kids' World: kids and parenting for everyone

Febrile convulsions are a common complication of infectious febrile illnesses in children. Parents are usually frightened by such an episode. They do not know what to do, whether the convulsions are hurting their child and whether they are a symptom of a more serious, e.g. neurological disease.

Every human being goes through certain developmental periods during life. These phases have their own specific characteristics. In infancy, separation anxiety is one of them. It appears at the time when the child begins to form attachments to other people. The closest person is usually the mother or another close person, so the child wants to be in constant contact with her. The absence of this person triggers a natural state of anxiety. This is accompanied by insecurity and fear of not returning. It sometimes manifests itself in hysterical crying.

Does your child sit at the computer all the time and not want to go out? Chocolate is their favourite food and they don't even want to hear about fruit? The need to instil good eating habits and plenty of exercise in children is extremely important, but not always easy.
