Headache is one of the most common symptoms in medicine, is one of the most frequent complaints of consultations with clinicians, pediatricians and neurologists, physical therapists specializing in osteopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture specialists and dentists in Temporomandibular disorders and orofacial pain and one of the most common reasons absence from work.
Headache is a universal symptom in humans. It is estimated that 90 to 100% of people will have some type of headache throughout life.
The headaches are divided into primary and secondary schools.
The most common primary headaches are migraine, tension-type headache, and cluster headache.
Other less common forms of primary headache include migraine continues, new daily persistent headache, stress headache, cough headache, cold stimulus headache, chronic paroxysmal hemicranianic.
Headache experts also generally treat facial pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia, atypical facial pain.
Secondary headaches are those caused by some other disease, such as brain tumors, head trauma, meningitis, stroke, hydrocephalus, and aneurysms.
Headaches can be divided into primary or idiopathic are those that have a cause or origin of its own.
The headaches that stem from other causes or diseases are called secondary headaches. These may have to do with problems with the nervous system, the level of the cranial sacral system (meninges, etc.). Or have to do with problems in some part of the body.
A secondary headache is such that you acquire when you have the flu, this being the cause of the headache.
The tension headaches are the most frequent and are felt as a heaviness, tightness, or mill, either at the front or in the neck or even on top of the head. The headache is often associated with fatigue, nervous system disorders, restlessness, depression, awkward postures, stress, too much noise, etc.. Sometimes there are too muscular tension level of the shoulders and neck, and can last hours or days.
A migraine headache is a strong or very strong that normally appears periodically and is normally pulsating or throbbing. Any movement of the head usually worsens as the physical or mental efforts. Often find only one side of the head and are usually accompanied by intolerance to light and noise and are often accompanied by vomiting.
The people suffering from this problem seek a dark, quiet place where they can rest or sleep. Migraines are usually a crisis that may last hours or days during which the person is completely to the ground and unable to function normally.
Sometimes there are so-called migraine with aura in which the person has impaired vision, as loss of vision on one side, blurring of images, sensations of bright lines, luminous dots or figures or even numbness or tingling in the face or the hand.
Unfortunately there is no medical examination to determine the causes of migraines.
The medical solutions are usually the same analgesic or anti-inflammatory.
However, the only medication used to control seizures and not to address the causes as they still do not know what they are.
However, and by observation of some people who suffer from these problems, to detect problems with the body and cranial sacral system that once corrected, substantially improve the crises and frequency of migraines and headaches.
A menstrual migraine is one that significantly decreases or disappears when correcting problems in body and cranial sacral system.
The other headaches, they disappear when it is correct because the causes giving rise to them.
But sometimes correct the body and cranial sacral system is not enough because sometimes there is also work those emotional factors that sometimes lie behind these problems.
This is often the reason for many failures in addressing the causes behind headaches and migraines. Is that there are few professionals who have training and sensitivity to detect and correct problems with the body and cranial sacral system and even less those who work together emotional factors that often exist behind these problems.
No diapers
Respecting the pace and progress of the child, parental help is essential to be able to overcome this additional step.
Respect the rhythms
Children are all different and their biological rhythms have no fixed scale to meet. Some children drop out of diapers sooner than others because it depends on the ability to control the sphincters.
When children reach two years it is natural to have, from time to time, a dry diaper in the morning - a sign that during the night did not pee and the bladder and bowel control is well underway. However, the early learning should begin during the day. Without forcing the child, now that the weather starts to be hotter, is the perfect time to start this new learning. For that, parents must have time and be patience.
A beginning full of expectations
The first thing to do is get a pot. Have your child help in the selection since it will have to please you. There are different shapes and colors and some with music - added bonus - when a child makes their needs.
After buying the potty for him to explain what it does. The best way is to tell you that parents will make their needs the toilet but, as he still has a little potty to your needs to begin training. Then, after the meals, the child should sit on potty to do their needs. Generally, it is normal that the child begins to make poop because children are usually in the diaper poop after meals. If the child does not do after about ten minutes to be seated, it is better to remove it and put it back within an hour.
Don’t force the child to stay longer than she needs, so she doesn’t stay tiered of the potty-weary.
It is natural that during the first experiments do pee in shorts, parents should not scold you, but explain to him that is now grown and should behave like a big boy. It is necessary to maintain the care of the child to sit on the potty every hour.
Warning signs
Children when they begin this new stage, often when they do not fully control the sphincters are not yet aware of its possibilities, and they are playing, even if they feel the need, are able to stand up to the last moment without going to the potty. However, if parents are aware of some signs may occur, for example, the child begins to tremble, her knees together as if pressed, shrinks ...
At such times should put it in her potty and explain that whenever you feel like it should sit.
Assistance procedures
If the child is walking normally without a diaper and has to leave before you leave home, sit on the potty and explain that you will not because it will put the diaper more beautiful without it, but you have to pee before starting so that you can handle until, for example grandmother's house.
At bedtime, before placing the child in bed, sit on the potty for a few minutes. If you wake up at night, and take advantage to put the potty - sometimes they pee means asleep.
Many children take some time to get used to ask to go to the potty quickly while others sit in it alone. Whatever the attitude of your child, not scold you when you have a leak. Throughout the day, ask him if he has no desire to go to the potty, but it is important that you put him periodically.
And don’t forget when the child is able to do his needs in the potty, the parents should always praise her.

How to Choose Toys for Your Children
As everyone knows, the work that children have is to play, and the tools they use to play are the toys. The question that arises is what kind of toys do they have?
Which are the most and least appropriate? For whom should we decide every day children are "bombarded" in television ads for the most varied, and if they are available in great cartoon on top, most of the time are perfect copies of dolls which can wear , going to parties, characters are fantastic, each marry and have children, others are galactic invaders, etc.. There is therefore a huge competition in terms of entertainment and games.
Ideally, the toys they should buy are those that are appropriate to their ages. For example, although a microscope can be very stimulating and useful for a child of 11 years, it is very likely to remain on a shelf, untouched, if offered to a child of preschool age. Already on the other hand, if you buy a doll for his daughter, who has come up with a dress, for example, medieval and some historical significance, it is very likely that your imagination fly quickly over time. Today, many companies have already indicated in the boxes of toys ages themselves, which helps a lot in both the choice and the effect it will raise, putting aside the feelings of frustration and failure which could inflict.
When choosing toys for your child, be sure also to take into account the different areas of expertise that help to develop some toys.
For example, develop the fine motor skills is essential in a child who is learning to write his name. Toys that enhance and develop this competence are the best toy cars, building materials, yo-yos, magnets, video games, the handling of computer mice or write with computer keyboards.
Already with regard to coordinating and developing the capacity to develop muscle strength of a child is given a jump rope, roller skating, playing with rackets and began to walk on roller skates, or even begin cycling. The toys can help develop children's imagination. Children in their early school years, they love to play make-believe. For example love to play pretend that you are the post office, or pretend to be teachers and who are teaching their students the ABC.
Try giving a medical kit to your child and you will see that soon begins to simulate operations in their favorite dolls. Children of primary love playing with dolls and animals.
Therefore, at this age, do not deprive a boy playing with dolls, not discourage the girls playing with cars or toys that are traditionally for boys. If you prefer, in addition to dolls or stuffed animals, puppets are a good alternative, because they are great to give life and recreate voices and stories through the imagination. Do not forget that a child's imagination, the box that comes with the refrigerator or the microwave there new home can be quickly transformed into a space station or a puppet theater. The children basically love is to do things and play. Encourage your kids to work on creativity, always ensuring that they have on hand paper, pencils, markers, pens, paints, brushes, pencil-of-wax, etc..
Toys docking, the Lego, the etc.., Are great for architectural projects. The kits, jewelry, musical instruments, etc.. are great for developing their creativity. Another type of toys that help children develop their thinking capacity are precisely those board games. In the case of younger children is the best simple games, but in the older puzzles, books, science kits and are most suitable. Besides the children, virtually every board game has a very positive because they can always be made with the family.

The stutter in childhood
The stuttering, or stammering, is known technically as it is a language disorder that affects about 1 percent of the children.
It is characterized by a change in pace of speech, repetitions or blockages arising. This discontinuity causes a disruption in terms of rhythm and melody of speech. Although we do not know very well the motives, the fact is that boys are more affected than girls, and the ratio is 3 to 1.
Types of stuttering
- The clonic stuttering; is characterized by the repetition of a syllable in the sentence or while uttering it. There is a compulsive repetition of syllables that are stuck (for example, Por-Por-P0r-Portugal).
- A Focus stuttering is accompanied by a stop in speech; preventing the articulation of the word. It seems that it stumbles on the words. Suddenly, the missing word explodes and the phrase is completed - for example: you want to eat, eat, eating an ice cream? The stuttering may be accompanied by motor movements like eye blinking, tics and tremors.
- A lisp; is also disorders that fall into stuttering. The babbling has a thought, so to speak, takes place faster than you can verbalize what causes a clash of words. In Lisp, phrases are imperfect, inconsistent in how we build, but not in its articulation.
When does it starts?
The stuttering tends to occur between 3 and 6 years, but is more frequent at age 5. These ages are in themselves, two critical stages of child development, since it is around 3 years the child begins to use language as a privileged instrument of communication.
The formal thought is consolidated and the need to put into practice. The child tries to communicate verbally, but he makes a mistake with words. These difficulties cause anxiety, which increases when she realizes that her mother is also concerned for that reason.
Sometimes, in the stages of language evolution, there may be some episodes of stuttering, but are transient. This should not be a cause for concern for parents. The situation usually resolves itself and insistence on correcting it is likely to cause a fixation.
Some children even reach to express great fear to speak. Children also tend to repeat whole sentences, which should not be confused with stuttering.
At 6 years, it is time for entering elementary school and there are children who suffer terribly at this time, since they are flooded with feelings of abandonment. Although most families choose to place their children in kindergarten, it is certain that this moment could be a traumatic situation for children who were always with her mother and who suddenly find themselves deprived of it.
The fear of abandonment, the fantasy of having done something wrong and are being punished for it, increase their anxiety to the point that symptoms may arise from stuttering.
Solutions for stammering
There are several ways to approach this problem:
- Speech Therapy - for the language to become fluent.
- Relaxation- so that the subject learns to relax when faced with situations of great anxiety.
- Psychotherapy- alone or in addition to other intervention, psychotherapy appears to be effective. In adolescents, psychotherapy focused on problems specific to the crisis of adolescence can have a very happy this disorder. In children, psychotherapy is also an option to consider in order to free it of its anxieties and conflicts.
Stress
Stress can be defined as the sum of physical and mental responses caused by certain external stimuli (stressors) and allow the individual (human or animal) to overcome certain requirements of the environment and the physical and mental burden caused by this process.
The term stress has been borrowed from physics, which means the tension and wear they are exposed to the materials, and first used in today's direction in 1936 by physician Hans Selye in the journal Nature.
Stress can be caused by anxiety and depression due to the sudden change in lifestyle and exposure to a particular environment, which makes a person feel a certain kind of anguish. When the symptoms of stress persist for a long period of time, there may be feelings of avoidance (related to anxiety and depression). Our defenses mechanisms are not responding effectively, thus increasing the possibility of disease occur, especially cardiovascular.
Another important term in the study of stress is the term stressor; indicates that an event or happening that requires an individual to an adaptive reaction to the new situation; the reaction will give the name of coping (dealing). These coping responses may be functional or malfunctioning, or not as fulfilling its role in overcoming the situation in adapting to it.
Stressors, depending on the degree of their harmfulness and the time required for the adaptation process, divided into:
1. Critical biographical events (life events): events are locatable in time and space, which require a profound restructuring of the life situation provoke emotional-affective long term. Such events can be both positive and negative and have different degrees of normatively; the social demand. Examples are marriage, birth of a child, sudden death of a person, accident, etc..
2.Traumatic stressors; are a special kind of biographical events that critics have a very high intensity and that exceed the adaptive capacity of individual
3. Everyday stressors (daily hassles); are stressful events of the day to day, that interfere with the welfare of the undivided, and that experience as threatening, or frustrating losses. Examples are problems with weight or appearance, health problems of close relatives who require care, trouble with daily events (home care, rising prices, financial worries, etc.).
4. Chronic stressors (chronic strain); are situations or conditions spanning a relatively long time and brings with it experiences repeated and chronic stress (overwork, unemployment, etc.) and specific situations (beginning with and so defined) that bring lasting consequences (Example: Stress caused by problems stemming from divorce).
Examples of stressors:
• Contempt loving;
• Pain and Sorrow;
• Strong light;
• High levels of sound;
• Events: births, death, war, meetings, weddings, divorces, changes, chronic diseases, unemployment and amnesia;
• Liabilities: Unpaid Debts and lack of money;
• Work / study: exams, slow traffic and deadlines for small projects;
• Personal relationships: conflict and disappointment;
• Lifestyle: unhealthy food, smoking, alcoholism and insomnia;
• Exposure to constant stress in children (child abuse);
• Age.
In a way stress is necessary to keep us moving and functional; however if you feel that the high levels of stress in your life are interfering in your everyday performance or interfering with your well being you must immediately look for some help and see why your defense mechanisms are not being enough.
