Be carefull who he hangs around with.  Watch his internet activity.  If you have to, take off his bedroom door.  It's yours, not his.  Watch for a lot of late night activity.  Smell his breath often and keep on him about grades and homework.  Raising kids is the hardest job you'll ever have.

A good bl*wj*b will slow him down!  You are the mother of a five yr. old.  You should know by now.

Just be there for him. The most important thing is for him to be comforted afterwards. There is nothing psychologically wrong with, it's perfectly normal and more common than most people realize. Eventually he will grow out of it or learn to be more secure and deal with it himself.

Tell him not to worry, it is surprisingly common, my son went through this recently.  The condition can last up to a year, and is primarily connected to puberty.\nI know it will be tough, lots of boys may take the mickey, but he just has to get through it.  With a good mate there for him he should be ok.

It could be just the process of growing and if he's a very active little guy, it could be understandable.  But just to be on the safe side, I would take him to a pediatrician or at least call the pediatricin and talk to them about it.  Never hurts to get the little ones "checked-out" from time to time.

I got involved with head start first through my pediatrician\nwhen I started having trouble with my sons speech. I know in OK. you go through your local health dept and they have the needed info on getting started. They should also have a website you could search online I'm sure.

i'm glad to hear of your sons interest in mixed martial arts. it is good to know there is another group of younger people ready to come up, along with myself. i would tell you though that the best way is to start small. get him into one of the smaller organizations to get started with so that he can get noticed. uncooked promotions is a great place to start. and they have an application to fight on their website if you think he is ready right now.that would be my suggestion for your first place to go.

I'm guessing that your son will probably get hassled at school. Kids are mean, or at least some are, and he will no doubt get his share of the ribbing. That being said, I worked with a guy at Reynolds and Reynolds who was a dwarf. He was a technical manager, and when he first started, he was pretty uptight. Once he got settled, people pretty much treated him like anyone else. A good friend of mine worked under him, and he liked him a lot. I think that as long as your son doesn't make a big deal about it, no one else will either. It sucks to be different, but it isn't going to stop him from having a more or less normal life.

If it doesn't concern you then mind your own business. Sounds like your a busy body. Just let it be he will get his in end.

Let experts give valuable advice to you. as a friend a humbly request you, "Any remedies that wont hurt the kid mentally or physically". Every kids has a unique talent in them. God never create anyone meaninglessly. Try to find out the skill out of him. Forget about his physique. And don't overdose calcium. It may swell the kid's head.

My sons have been in wrestling for years, if we are talking about school wrestling teams, not the TV WWW stuff.\nWrestling has fewer injuries than most other sports. I am always relieved when football season is over and wrestling begins because the injuries are fewer and less serious, usually ( my son does football and wrestling.)\nIn the past few years Ive been going to school tournaments, I've only seen one serious injury; a young man injured his neck and could not move and the ambulance came to take him to the hospital. But I believe it was not a permanent injury like the paralysis and brain injuries that happen in football. Most of the injuries I've seen, and my son has had, are lots of bloody noses, bruises, and mat burns from rubbing against the mats, broken or sprained fingers occasionally, and sore muscles. If you decide to take wrestling, make sure you shower and wash your clothes after every practice and every match. Skin fungus is rampant in wrestling and there is a problem with it in most schools , but our school doesn't have a problem because of the strict shower rules.\nhttp://www.unc.edu/depts/nccsi/AllSport.htm\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/MMWR/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5538a1.htm\nhttp://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/wrestling-injuries.html\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/10777/wrestle.htm

One of my friends had this problem with her son. She told him he would be a big boy when he stopped and she would buy him a Spiderman Bike and he quit and he loves his new bike. Expensive reward but better than permanent damage to his teeth can be more expensive.

Hello there I grew up with astma.  You can have your son drink warm coffee. You can also brethe in to a paper bag.  when it starts to cool down at night and when its too hot is when you will see him havin problems.  So just tell him not to over do it. when he feels short of breath he needs to stop and rest.  Hope I helped.

probably not. just punish your son for buying alcohol.\n\nlawsuits are more troublesome than what you expect.

Lots of one year olds aren't talking yet, so don't get too worried.  Set up situations where he has to talk to get the reward - for example he doesn't get the juice until he says "juice".  And don't give him too much pressure - he will talk when he needs to - possibly he gets everything he wants now without having to talk??

Before you go and do drastic things, like meds you are right to look at his food.  Soy can be an allergen to many people.  As well so are fruits such as strawberries and oranges, citrus'.  Obviously it's an allergy or sensitivity.  Some docs only consider the word allergy for those who go into anaphalactic(spelling?) shock and run the risk of respitory failure, ie...bee sting/stop breathing.  \nNevertheless, ignore that kind of medical rhetoric because your son is obviously allergic regardless of how severe the reaction is.  There are allergy tests he can go through if you find a doctor who takes you seriously.  Have him tested, although it can be traumatic because albeit not very paintful, they prick you with a bunch of tiny little needles with different allergens on them to see how you react.  Usually on your back or inside of your forearm.  I've had it and many people I know have...it really clued them into what was bugging them! \nOr first: Try the most simple diet you can, limit him down to mashed up rice and chicken or rice and one veggie like squash if you prefer and of course rice cereal for breakfast.  Make sure it's pure brown or white rice(brown has more nutrients). Clean out his system by calming it down for a day or two.  It's called an elimination diet in nutrition terms.  People do it all the time to figure out what allergies/sensitivities they have.  \nThen pick very basic mild foods like bananas, pears, squash, peas, spinach, carrots, chicken/turkey and rice. No citrus fruits for awhile.  No honey either(not pasturized and can be risky). Introduce one food at a time to him and allow him to get used to it before introducing another food. Try one per 2 days.  Wait for a reaction or none and then move on.  That way if he has a reaction, you will know which food it is.  \nThen another and another until you know which foods he reacts to etc...When he reacts you will know he has a problem with it and you can eliminate it for good and put it in his medical records.  Some foods might take a day to move through the digestion system and therefore two days is necessary to really see if they bother him. If he reacts to just rice and chicken/veggie, then it might be one of them. Try again. It's just a process that one must go through to gain control over their allergies. Hang in there!\nFoods people are most allergic to are: wheat, dairy, soy, citrus fruits + strawberries, nuts, corn, and some meat. Also food additives like MSG and gluten and food dyes can cause serious reactions like migraines and hyperactivity.  There are many others but those are very common ones.  \nDon't negate what he is experiencing because a doctor does. Not that you are. They do not know everything, and you are the mom...and that means beyond caring well for your son you have good instincts.  Trust them!!  You are doing the right thing by continuing to pursue this beyond what the doc didn't do for you.  And by the way, psorisis and eczema both are aggravated by food allergies and stomach digestion or lack thereof. \nBut keep on it because allergies can wreck your whole system if they are not remedied. \nGood luck!
