A 13-year-old girl who is entering adolescence is a problem all by itself. Interaction between mother and daughter often goes askew. Before anything is done, the child should be taken to a doctor to make sure there’s no medical calls for her obesity. If there isn’t, then there has to be some outside source that will help her lose weight and mother by herself will not be able to accomplish this. There are several options open. Weight Watchers has a very good option for adolescence they can go in person or do it online. There are also other modalities and it is certainly beneficial to have a third person involved.

ADD can be a very difficult problem for the parents as well as the child and the parents have to be able to understand that the child has a real problem and it just cannot be diagnosed READ MORE
ADD can be a very difficult problem for the parents as well as the child and the parents have to be able to understand that the child has a real problem and it just cannot be diagnosed with a blood test or a simple physical examination. If the child, indeed, has ADD, the medications that are used for treatment have been around for 10+ years and have been shown to be very effective. They help the child concentrate better and handle impulse control much better and their work shows great improvement. The side effects are very minimal, they do not cause shortness of growth or weight loss. In the very beginning, the child may have a little hyperactivity and some insomnia, but if he continues with the medication, after about 10 days, the side effects disappear and the beneficial effects show through.

There is an abundance of baby formulas and more than likely they all do very well, however, I always suggest going for formulas that have been around for a long time, but have been tried and proven so that we know there are no difficulties in the balance of the nutrients. I would not look for a discount formula or something brand new on the market. When dealing with an infant who is going to be on a formula for anywhere between 10 to 12 months, it’s important to get the primary nutrition down properly so we need to be sure. But if the manufacturers have had their product on the market for quite awhile, that way you know that this formula is good.
