What are some of the latest advances in pediatric neurology?

After analyzing 22 studies of 2,385 children with ADHD, researchers concluded that treating pediatric ADHD patients with psychostimulant medications did not produce onset of new tics, or aggravate existing tic symptoms, reports the research in the Journal of the American Academy of Adolescent Psychiatry.

What is a good way to get ungrounded?

Your parents may have a list of tasks for you to complete before you can be ungrounded. If this is the case, be sure to do each task to the best of your abilities, without complaining.

If the reason you were grounded had something to do with not getting along with a family member, make a special effort to show love to that family member while you're grounded. Your parents may reward your good behavior by shortening the length of your punishment.

Symptoms of colic include irritability, excessive gas, long bouts o..

Are women better parents than men?

Satoshi Kanazawa makes the argument in Psychology Today that women are better parents than men. The phrase "Mommy's baby, Daddy's maybe" is the basis of Kanazawa's argument. From an evolutionary and psychological perspective, he argues that women are better parents because the child is innately more important to the mother than the father.

Once the child is born, the mother is already nine months into ..
