teen-pregnancy 

Teen pregnancy is a growing menace for parents these days as the number of cases have been on rise. It is no doubt an area of both concern and angst for parents. They are definitely correct in being upset over this, but they also need to understand that it is not just the girl who is responsible. So, when faced with such a situation parents need to help their child instead of accusing them and getting angry with them. However, when you try to help your child, you need to ensure that the choices that you make are well informed. Also the boy should also be made a part of this responsibility as he is equally at fault too.

Babies throwing tantrum is a very common phenomenon and you can consider yourself very lucky if you have a baby who does not throw tantrums. Tantrum is often considered as a means by which babies try to get attention; however, it is not always the case.

Tantrums in babies may be due to several reasons like anger, frustration and the lack of knowledge to react to a particular situation often results in babies throwing tantrums. The frustration may arise due to hunger or thirst or may be when the child is finding it difficult to learn something new.

Does your child wake up at midnight and start screaming or shouting? And when you go to pacify him/her the child would all the more start shouting loudly pushing you back. This is because the child is in his sleep and is not recognizing that the person he is screaming for is by his side only. This type of phenomena is known as night terror. Here the child becomes uncontrollable and devastated but it is just for few minutes and then the child is fast asleep again. The child won’t be aware of his last night’s terror the very next morning which is distinct from a nightmare.

Reason behind night terror

Night terror generally occurs between an age group of 3-5 years. This is because of the disturbance in sleep. These age group children generally sleep an hour or two in the afternoon and then if suddenly they stop taking a sleep during daytime results in a night terror.
