Kids' sleep issues may affect mental ability later
http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2009/04/07/eline/links/20090407elin024.html I am on doctor but I always think that sleep affects mental functions. It's pretty amazing that it might have longer-term effects. Bobo Dad |

Kids' self-control affects future overweight risk
http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2009/04/06/eline/links/20090406elin003.html The study made over 1000 3-year-olds and 5-year-olds go throught two tests to try to correlate self-control and overweight risk. The results seem predictable. However, I particularly like the counterpart at the end of the article saying that being impatient isn't all bad. Bobo Dad |

Music lessons help children improve reading skills
The connection may not be obvious but it definitely makes sense. According to Psychology Of Music published by SAGE, children exposed to a multi-year programme of music tuition involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills display superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared with their non-musically trained peers. http://www.news-medical.net/?id=46911 Even if this is not true, isn't it great to have a kid who can play music?

Lots of TV and Web harms kids' health
According to http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081202/ts_nm/us_health_children_5, One study cited in the report found that children who spent more than eight hours watching TV per week at age 3 were more likely to be obese at 7. 8 hours per week doesn't seem that much but it still has a possible negative effect! |
