Parents cronies?

It is not good to give in to unreasonable demands of adolescents fear being "old" little modern or outside wave.

Okay understand and respect the rights and needs of the children to procure their own means a path towards independence, but be careful not to exaggerate. There are parents who exceed the use of it, believing that in this way will be more "cronies" with their children, without realizing that this attitude may just lose the dimension of time of transition for those who are going through guys.

Not notified of time, it is possible that this type of approach will become a "boomerang" to disturb the emotional stability of the family.

How to tell if my child be born healthy?

¿HEALTHY BIRTH MY CHILD?
• The council consists of genetic preconceptional to inform prospective parents about the nature of a hereditary disease, as well as the likelihood that affect their offspring.

• There is the urgency of a prenatal diagnosis, so the couple can know a priori, before deciding on a pregnancy, the risk. When the prenatal diagnosis of hereditary disease is not technically possible, knowing the risks allows opt for alternative solutions: not procreate, adoption, and so on. In such studies must use radiological techniques, dangerous during pregnancy, or biochemical, whose results can be altered during pregnancy and mask the diagnosis.

• The most important risk factors, which require the development of a genetic study are: existence in the family of repeat abortions,
polimalformaciones or mental retardation associated with fragile X chromosome.

• If a couple is consanguineous, runs a higher risk of both carriers are somehow abnormal gene, and therefore can match the two genes in a sick child. In this case, if there is no family history, the best recommendation is to conduct a careful follow-up ultrasound in pregnancy.

• When there is a history, one must make a clear diagnosis of the patient sick. This is very important. Then, based on the biochemical and molecular study of it, the analysis becomes familiar.

• Prenatal diagnosis, analyzing the liquid amniótlco or villus coriócas, allowing to know whether the baby will inherit a particular genetic disease.

¿Imitation or inheritance?

The child learns through imitation, and this process begins from the moment of birth. In some babies, with only six hours of life, if they are taken out the tongue are also capable of doing. Many researchers argue that this ability to imitate is simply a reflex action, but others believe that it is precisely these babies then are excellent imitators.

What is certain is that all parents become mad with joy when her baby and mimics the reply to its ñoñerías with smiles and chirp. The adults then take exaggerated attitudes, coupled with short sentences and exaggerated gestures, and the small learns to decode this sign language, voice inflections, the repeated phrases: it is their first language.

In each family, in addition, there are microcode individuals. Every mother and father have his way of outwardly peculiar affection for his son, his way of approaching it and communicate.

The prenatal environment

The first environment in which the fetus develops is the cytoplasm, the fluid that bathes the nutritive cell, exclusively supplied by the mother. It is there where the fusion of genetic material from both parents.

Some experiments with animals have shown the effect of uterine environment on certain characters: some embryos of mice, with exactly the same genetic background, were implanted on different females. After their birth, found that their motor development, their activity reflects the females were different depending on which had been grafted embryos.

It was also noted that a small female, located between two male mice in the maternal womb, during the whole pregnancy was in adulthood more aggressive with the intruders. This was because it had received hormone testosterone released by male neighbors. All these tests corroborate the potential impact on the environment prenatal development and evolution of the fetus.

The manner in which a woman lives her pregnancy, if you suffer from stress, or fatigue, their way of eating, if you smoke or drink alcohol ... all this affects the development of the nervous system of their future child. For nine months, the fetus develops in a very exclusive, only for him. This may explain in part the differences so obvious that there are occasions between brothers, despite the 50 per cent of the genetic heritage and a common education like a priori.

But as a general rule, there are physical characteristics that confer a certain air of family among the brothers: the hair, nose, chin ... even how to express themselves or face a particular problem. It is also known that the movements can be hereditary, since to coordinate the muscles, brain cells send nerve impulses the same as that of their parents.

Genetics of the children

A certain air of family
The child inherits about 50 percent of the genetic heritage of their parents. Most of the biological characteristics, height, eye color and hair, the shape of hands, longevity, disease resistance, ..., are broadcast in hereditary form.

Often, these characters are controlled by many genes. This explains the range of colors that can present their eyes, the diversity of stature, the various skin tones, the almost infinite variety of hair color, and so on.

Some qualities are transmitted with predominance: black or dark hair is imposed on the clear, blond or reddish; hair curled due to Lazio; dark skin tone prevails over the white, the eyes of prevails over round ... It is also the dominant presence of the pits on the cheeks or the chin.

In the shape of your head, rounded or oval, usually a clear distinctive family, influence such other factors as the position of the baby in the womb during pregnancy. The stature upward. In the event that both parents are high, their descendants, to be sure, it will be even more.

There is a 50 percent chance of transmitting the sons baldness, and being hairy, especially in hands and fingers, dominates the absence of hair.

In their eyes, the color blue brings everything to lose. For example, if the genes of the mother have the quality to pass the blue color of the eyes, and the father, the brown color, all children will have brown eyes (a dominant gene).

How to detect child abuse

-- A child who suffered mistreatment by their parents is not necessarily son of a family and unstructured class economically weak. The middle classes and professionals give an index unfortunately high.

-- The boy or girl does not say - mostly - who are abused as generally assumed as if they were guilty of something they do not understand.

-- The two positions normal response to ill-treatment are entirely different:
In one case, the child is enclosed in itself and invents a fantasy world with some parents ideals, even reaches say that their parents have died or dreams of it. In the second case, the child played behaviour with friends and family dolls, developing an aggressiveness that you become a child difficult and increasing personal problems at home.

-- In case of discovering an abused child, the case should be reported to school or the police (if they encounter significant physical) ..

-- Never should accuse a child who told us brutality. Must be a psychologist to decide whether it should be and that this intervention strategy to adopt.

How to educate children

The family situations that the child does not capture as a whole - the couple of problems and difficulties at work - are the most impact on this particular patoloqía in which neither parents nor children are responsible guilty of possible clashes, tensions and misunderstandings. Not all children are born to difficult situations but most are a result of unexplained problems.

It does not mean that parents should blame, that road does not lead to a solution. You can even give different situations between brothers face the same problem. Parents, absorbed by their problems, they can forget or react aggressively to those of ios children.

The child picks that is not heard and seeks be noted, not always at home. Many parents learn that their children have felt a difficult family situation when they arrive worrying reports from school. Trying to understand is the first step to finding out the positive.

Listen to your child care increases

To try to educate them without relying on one's own example is
a waste of time, there is evidence that at this age who is learning more from their parents.

■ When the boy is counting something, we must give full attention. If not, at any time will have every right to engage in his story when he wants to say something.

■ If, for lack of time, during the conversation we need to fix a chopping vegetables or switch, he did not ask the child if more do not care about what was heard until completion of such activity.

■ As important as verbal communication is non-verbal. We should try that looks to be crossed during the conversation, which greatly strengthens the attention; sit on the lap or keep their hands between ours.

Believe an embryo with three parents' DNA

British scientists of the University of Newcastle have been able to fecundate an embryo in vitro starting from the DNA of a man and two women, in what you/they consider a landmark in this type of technical.

The first question that we can make ourselves you are for what reason?, according to the investigators, this will allow to eradicate a series of hereditary illnesses, including certain epilepsy types as well as to help those women that suffer bugs mitocondriales, those that one believes, they could be the lawsuit of about half hundred of pathologies.

To achieve this feat the scientists they carried out a mitocondria transplantation in ten severely abnormal discarded embryos of traditional treatments of assisted fertility. At few hours of your creation, you retired the core (that you contain the mother's DNA and the father) and you implanted it to him in another cleared ovum of great part of your genetic imposition.

These embryos began to usually be developed, but the investigators decided to destroy them to the six days. In fact, they only have licence to make laboratory tests but you don't stop to offer this technique as a possible treatment in human. At least, for the moment...

The Pregnancy

Are they also embarrassed?
Many times during the pregnancy, in the couple the future mom usually has not only already the symptoms well-known, if not that the man also begins to feel nauseas, sickness until even vomits. No way of the whims or of the increment of the weight. To ésto he/she is called: Syndrome of Couvade.
The term Couvade comes from French (couver–to incubate), and to the one that old cultures denominated to a ritual that consisted in that the men should stay in the bed after its son's birth, simulating childbirth pains and receiving gifts.
Today in day, it is very usual that the future dad suffers at the same time of his couple, a series of symptoms related with the pregnancy like anxiety, euphoria or depression that are manifested with increase of the appetite, edginess and extreme easiness to enter in stress state. Fortunately for them he/she ends with their wife's childbirth. Why?
Some specialists declare that these men feel so associated to the couple's physical problems that take the same type of nuisances.
Others affirm that the symptoms of the Syndrome of Couvade resemble those of a common anguish more and he/she takes place for the concerns about the future changes in couple's relationship, the new son's birth and how this new stage will be, if they will reach the economic revenues and other bound matters with the paternity.
The certain thing is that those fears are more in the head than in the practice, because during the pregnancy there is a strong union in the couple, a great emotional connection and a strong mutual desire of being parents.
According to the studies, between the 10 and 65% of the husbands “embarrassed” they suffer this syndrome and he/she is considered that 1 of each 4 men consultation to the doctor for different causes that generally begin in the third month of gestation and they finish with the childbirth.
During years, the investigations have looked for the reasons that produce the Syndrome of Couvade, and the main ones indicate a significant relationship with situations psicosomatics; but from the century XXI several studies have disclosed that the paternity brings I get hormonal and biological changes in the man.
The important thing is that the men keep in mind that they can feel a series of changes so that they don't despair thinking that they have something bad, and in general when they assume this condition, the symptoms diminish or they disappear. It is good to know that the affected parents that they try to overcome it, they are somehow connected with the pregnancy and with their pregnant wives. They can understand a little better how they feel and even more their necessities.
