Book review:Handbook of Day to Day Parenting Tips

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 17, 2018 4

A family that hugs together stays together.

My favorite quote from the book Handbook of Day to Day Parenting Tips by Wow parenting.

Book Summary.

A book on parenting the smart way. It talks about teaching empathy and making children feel like they belong. Because parenting is a journey of a family.

Book Review Handbook of Day to Day Parenting Tips by Wow parenting

The Pros:

A well thought out book with great insights. I especially liked the nuggets of wisdom at the end of each chapter.
The tips will help you bring out the inner artist in your child and maybe even inside you.
I used some of the methods suggested in the book myself. It’s a wonderful way to grow together. We all are intuitive parents but a little help like this will go a long way to make you feel more confident.

My favorite chapter:

How Do You Help Your Child Cultivate The ‘Power Of Imagination’?

Yesterday my six years old drew and painted the galaxy black hole included.

She also told me what a black hole is. This was part of the experiment I did following the tips from the above-mentioned chapter.

The writing style

It’s easy to understand with actionable tips which will help you amp up your parenting game.

What could be better?

I felt the book is a great resource but may be a little too heavy for first-time parents. So maybe a section division as must know good to know may know type things. You will need a peaceful spot to soak in the wisdom. But if you do, it will be well worth it.

ADHD:Before putting your child on Medications(Most important is number 9 )

By Dr.Abhijit Misra (MBBS,MD) on June 15, 2018 57

The brain is the most interesting and the most difficult organ to handle. When something like ADHD is diagnosed in a child, parents feel distraught. But don’t worry. With timely intervention, good results are possible. What you must understand is that ADHD has a complex relationship with childhood stressors . All present and future treatments need behavioral training, family therapy, and medication, with weight being given to all. Before you start medicines and expect things to get better quickly, you need to know a few things.

ADHD The Summary

ADHD is a spectrum of disorder. The earlier the diagnosis, better is the long-term quality of life. While some children with associated psychiatric and developmental challenges are at the deep end of the spectrum. Many children with behavioral therapy, family support, medication will lead a productive life.

[bctt tweet=”Early diagnosis, management and sustained follow up is key to avoid long-term problems in ADHD.” username=”misra_amrita”]

#1 What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood. That’s the bad news. The good news is it is also the most extensively studied mental disorder of childhood.

#2 What are the challenges the child may face?

Academic underachievement
Recurrent and persistent interpersonal relationship problems .
Issues of low self-esteem are very common.

ADHD:Before putting your child on Medications!

#3 What other health problems may be associated?

The doctor will screen for

Learning disability
Language disorders
Emotional issues
Behavioral problems
Psychiatric problem
Vision
Hearing

#4 What are the symptoms of ADHD: when you should visit a doctor?

If any of the following are there for more than 6 months in a child and is causing challenges of development, social, emotional academic. The symptoms broadly fall into categories of inattention and hyperactivity.

Making careless mistakes, lacking attention to details. Not listening when spoken to directly. Not finishing activities and unable to follow through instructions. Disorganized.
Avoids activities needing sustained attention. Child misplaces things necessary for activities. Occasionally misplacing pencil or rubber is normal and not unusual in young children. Try to stop this habit by giving them a particular place to keep all their stuff next to the study table.
Hyperactivity involves excessive fidgety movements. The child is unable to indulge in quiet play. Talks excessively
Impulsivity: Not able to wait for a turn.Talks in between others etc

ADHD is a challenge to diagnose in preschoolers because distractibility and inattention are often present at this age. Different categories of ADHD is diagnosed, depending on criteria and needs a trained pediatrician.

#5 What causes ADHD?

The causes are complex and multifactorial. It is often the net result of several associated and simultaneous factors influencing brain development. There is a strong genetic role in ADHD. There is also a correlation with reduced dopamine level in the brain as a causative factors.

Maternal factors

Birth complications such as toxemia, prolonged labor, complicated delivery.
Maternal drug use
Maternal smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy
Exposure to lead prenatal or postnatal.

Child factors

Food coloring and preservatives
Brain trauma
Abnormal brain structure on child increases the risk of ADHD

Family factors

Psychosocial family stressors may cause or exacerbate symptoms of ADHD.
Family stress
Abuse
Neglect
A close blood relative with ADHD, mood or anxiety disorders, learning disability, antisocial disorder, or alcohol or substance abuse.

#6 How will ADHD be diagnosed?

Diagnosis needs the opinion of a pediatrician, child psychiatrist, clinical psychologist. It involves detailed history, physical examination, lab test and interview with caregivers.

The doctor also screens for vision or hearing problems and test for elevated lead levels. The latter is more important when a child comes in children with some or all of the symptoms if these children are exposed to lead poisoning.There are no diagnostic tests available to identify ADHD in children at present.

#6 Treatment

Psychosocial Therapy/Behavioural therapy
Drugs
Family therapy.

The detailed treatment protocols are beyond the scope of this article but medication depends on main symptoms presented. Psychostimulant medications, including methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Focalin, Daytrana)Amphetamine, and/or various amphetamine and dextroamphetamine preparations (Dexedrine, Adderall, Vyvanse).

While generally well-tolerated in most children, Adderall and Vyvanse side effects most commonly include a loss of appetite, stomach pain, irritability and difficulty falling asleep. A longer list of side effects does occur in some children, although the more serious ones are rare.

Most of the drugs will have some side effects, which will be explained by your doctor.

#7 Behavioural management alone will not be enough. It is also a long-term goal.

Once the diagnosis of ADHD has been established, the parents and children are educated about ADHD’s effect on learning, behavior, self-esteem, social skills, and family function. The doctor helps the family improve the child’s interpersonal relationships, study skills, and reduce disruptive behaviors.

#8 Untreated ADHD Risks

Increased risk-taking behaviors (sexual activity, delinquency, substance abuse)
Educational underachievement.
Employment difficulties.
Relationship difficulties.

#9 Prevention of ADHD

Parent training, training of caregivers and school teachers help in the early detection and treatment of ADHD. This has a big role to play in improving the quality of life in affected children. Early screening for Vision, Hearing and psychiatric problems will help in the effective treatment of children with ADHD. Long-term adverse effects of untreated and ineffectively treated children with ADHD is avoidable with early intervention. Detection of elevated lead levels in children who present with the symptoms is a part of the diagnostic arsenal.

Also if you are a young woman reading this and you want to be a mom later in life, you may want to avoid drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. A future human’s quality of life may depend on it.

Blogchatter:Why I loved Daily chatter Blogging challenge

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 11, 2018 5

Blog chatter blogging challenge:What I learned

Blogging is fun.It’s challenging to learn to do it all .
Sometimes in the mad rush of researching, writing content ,and promoting my posts, I was overwhelmed.
So I thought the #Daily chatter challenge for 2 weeks at the blogchatter would be too much to handle.

Blogchatter:The dailychatter blogging challenge

But what’s a challenge ,if it’s not difficult . If you really want to push your limits at blogging it’s great to have friends who are in the same boat .

The beauty of blogging is this effortless friendship across time and distance .
Sharing thoughts ,promoting and encouraging other blogger friends.

Some people may say only bloggers read and promote other blogs.
That may or may not be true.But it’s a win win for all.

Blogs are your own self-publishing paradise. It’s your way of a bit of digital real estate.Digital immortality.

What’s great about blogging?

It’s great if you want to practice expressing your opinion.
It’s great as a side hustle.
It’s magical as a source of income for stay at home moms.
Overall it’s the best way of making friends online.
It’s a great way of helping others in your own way.Wherever you are in your blogging journey, you can help someone.I have been helped by pro bloggers like Amy Lynn Andrews.

The blogchatter made this community feeling enormous.That’s my takeaway from this challenge .This sense of belonging .

My Alexa rank improved because of this push by the #Dailychatter.

Alexa rank :Healthwealthbridge(global rank)

Many will laugh at my feeble attempts.But when I compare , my current results with 2 months back.It’s a pleasant surprise.

I realised how much I could push myself.
Sometimes that’s enough to keep you going when you are just starting out.

I realised I want to post my articles 3 times a week.This will give me time to do research and also continue with the pace this challenge gave my blog.

I will be tweaking the backend stuff and promote my posts on the other 3 days.

Sunday is my creative break and brainstorming day.

Over the next few days ,I will be updating the posts which are doing well.

I also would finally publish my Resource page.I waited almost 2 years to do this .That’s because I really wanted to see what works for my DIY blog before committing.

My blog is about health-wellness and my journey as a mompreneur.I am not a work from home mom.But sometimes I wish I had that choice.

That was the main reason I wanted to explore when I started blogging.I have heard the stories of many bloggers making the full-time income from home.But whether a non-technical mom could do it was anybody’s guess.

2 platforms have really helped:

#Indiblogger platform :I love this Indian bloggers directory. They are great at helping blogger promote,earn and learn.Signing up for Indiblogger has helped me become more interactive easily.

Making connections is so much easier.

They are great at helping you promote and spread the awesome posts you write.Most new bloggers don’t have the advertising budget.So this will help you tremendously.

#The Blogger’s Pit stop Link party:

This link party happens every Friday.Just like the blog chatter , they help you link up your posts and are very interactive.

Why have I written about blog promotion tools?

The Internet is a vast ocean of information.

You are skimming the very top layer.There are no arrows directing readers toward your blog.

There are millions of blogs written everyday.How will your reader find you?How will you help others if they can’t find you?I felt really sad looking at the few views my posts used to get.

That’s why I started actively participating in these communities .

Showing below my traffic before and after using these blog promoting platforms.

Healthwealthbridge.Traffic increase 1000%

What’s your goal with your blog?

Looking forward to more chattering at the blog chatter.

What else will blog chatter challenge us with?
Have you participated in any blogging challenges?
What’s your takeaway from it?

Is Your Child’s Protein Sufficient for the 2nd and the Last Growth Spurt ?

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 11, 2018 91

Children grow up very fast. Their energy and protein needs vary with age. The second growth spurt comes and goes, and mothers are left wondering whether a child will grow any taller. Some children, grow taller than their classmates. That’s because their moms took care of their protein needs at the right time. The second growth spurt is often missed due to less awareness about it.

But that’s the last time when what your child eats, can change his/her life.

Mothers are perennially on a tight rope. Balancing between fears of too much and too little. Both undernutrition and obesity-related malnutrition is a cause for worry. A high-calorie diet where the energy comes from refined sugars of processed food is bad for overall health. High-quality protein and matched energy is needed for the increased energy requirement during this age. They go through a tremendous, physical, hormonal and emotional growth phase, where a balanced diet is important for their complete growth.

Children need good quality protein during a second growth spurt

According to this article, Linear growth increases markedly during puberty in both sexes from approximately 5 cm/year in prepubertal males and females to 8.3 cm/year in pubertal females and 9.5 cm/year in pubertal males. Weight velocity increases from 3 kg/year in prepubertal males to 9 kg/year during puberty; the gain is composed almost entirely of lean tissue.

When does the protein requirement peak?

Diet during prepuberty years is very important because that’s when the body is getting ready for the second growth spurt

So just increasing total calorie and protein should do, right?

Not really.

The problem is both with the quantity of protein, as the quality of protein. When the diet is plant-based and protein source is plant-based, a gross deficiency occurs in the quality of protein the child receives.

This deficit will have a lifelong effect and probably the reason why the optimal height and intellectual potential is not reached.

What should moms do?

Moms make meal plans. Moms cook, Moms shop for food (Sometime Daddy does too)

Moms also know exactly how fast their child is growing and what is his/her daily activity level.

Nutrition Requirement during the second growth spurt

Nutrient requirements increase during adolescence to support rapid growth. Inappropriate nutrition can create a lasting impact on the growth, development, and physical fitness of an adolescent. Nutrients of significance during this period are:

Proteins: To support an increase in muscle mass and promotes the hormone Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations which aid in growth.

Protein should account for 15-20% of total calories. The quality of protein becomes important especially if a vegetarian or a vegan diet is followed.

What is the role of protein?

Protein influences the production and action of factors involved in growth. The growth hormone (GH)-insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF 1) system is most important. The liver produces IGF-1 under the influence of dietary proteins.IGF-1 is essential for longitudinal bone growth that is increasing in height, skeletal maturation, and bone mass acquisition. Decreased levels of IGF-1 have been found in states of undernutrition.

Calcium: To support bone growth.

Vitamin D: To facilitate the absorption of calcium in bones

Iron: To support blood formation and improve the physical performance of a child.

Are we taking sufficient protein in diet?

According to the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau report (India), the intake of protein was found to be low across the prepubertal age group. Its because of a lack of awareness. Even before the time of second growth spurt, children do not consume enough protein and calorie intakes to get the maximum boost to their height.

What happens if protein deficiency persists?

When protein intakes are not right, the child never grows to their maximum.

Child needs good quality protein in the right amount

Does the quality of protein consume also exert an impact?

Indian diets derive almost 60% of their protein from cereals such as wheat, rice, jawar, bajra, etc. The proteins found in these cereals are of inferior quality. The National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) survey in India, which uses household food expenditure to arrive at nutritional intakes, also indicates that about 66% of the protein in the rural population and 56% of the urban population is derived from cereals. When the main sources of their protein were plant-based ,there is a bigger need of health drinks providing the right amount of protein supplementation.

What are the sources of good quality proteins in the diet?

Good quality proteins are proteins that contain all the essential amino acids. Some sources of good quality proteins are:

Fish, Chicken, Mutton, other flesh food
Milk and milk products
Egg
Soy protein(should only be taken under doctors supervision)

Protein in your breakfast: What you must know

Proteins play an extremely important role during the second growth spurt, which is the last chance for your child to grow tall. Growth mediators such as IGF-1 help in the utilization of the dietary protein for your child’s needs.

The inadequacy of proteins in the diet may lead to stunting in children. Since Indian diets are mainly cereal-based, it is essential that both the quality and quantity of proteins in the diet are maintained.

The second growth spurt is a period of rapid growth, with increased nutritional needs. Growth during this period is faster than at any other time in a child’s life except in the first year. It offers the last window of opportunity to give your child the nutrition needed to embrace a healthy adult life. This is also the last chance to cover nutritional deficits due to picky eating in childhood. Facing this challenge of increased nutritional demand in this will help your child achieve optimal growth.

Conclusion:

Cut out the junk food. Occasional treats are okay.
Milk and milk proteins both increase IGF1 so they can be used as a source of first-class protein in the diet.
Fish is a very healthy protein source and is highly recommended.
Other animal flesh sources of protein are balanced against need and ease of availability.
Protein supplements and Threptin diskettes according to need.

When your child needs more protein and the diet needs supplementation a health drink with the right amount of protein is needed to meet the challenges of second-growth spurt head-on.

Disclaimer: This post is written for information and education. All opinions are mine written after researching adequate sources. All health decisions about your children should be taken after professional medical consultation.

3 Unusual Places for a Nature Loving Family Trip in Malaysia

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 11, 2018 29

Malaysia has beautiful sea beaches, natural parks, and rainforests. It’s the perfect destination for nature loving family. The best part is there are many resorts right in the rainforest if you don’t want to travel much.

If you want a short relaxing holiday in Malaysia, one of the following destinations may be just right. While Taman Negara and Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak is great for a typical rainforest experience, Cameron Highlands will be a surprise. Places to visit with family in Malaysia are many, but these three will give you a pleasant surprise.

Cameron Highlands

Plan your trip according to what you want to do. It’s not hectic and there are many things both children and adults will enjoy. The rolling hills with tea plantations are a beautiful sight. The best time to pass your time is to visit a tea plantation and see how its made. You can also enjoy fresh cups of tea and cakes if you want.

The many strawberry farms dotting the landscape will make adults and children both happy.If you are lucky you will be allowed to pick strawberries and eat then garden-fresh too. That’s something few people would want to miss.

The Butterfly Farm and Honeybee farm are good places to take older kids as they will enjoy learning about them

The colonial architecture, cool air, and rolling green tea plantations give you a different type of holiday than the typical south-east Asian holiday.

How to reach Cameron Highlands?

Take a flight to KL airport. Then you have two options Travel from KL airport to the city center in an airport taxi, from where you can take the bus to Cameron Highlands. You can book in advance online or book then itself. During tourist seasons, it’s best to book in advance. Buses are cheap and comfortable most of the time. You can also hire your own car from the airport itself. The transport system in Cameron highlands may be a problem if you are traveling with kids. Having your own car for hire is the most comfortable option. There are plenty of great options for Cameron Highlands hotels and you will be spoiled for choice.

What is the best time to visit Malaysia’s Rainforests?

If you are visiting rainforests you will need to know about rainfall. Most rainfalls in March and April. The Driest months are June and July. Definitely talk to your tour operators regarding the weather before booking your trips.

Malaysia rainforests have gorgeous resorts to make family trips perfect. You can catch sight of several species of flora and fauna right at the resort.

Taman Negara is the largest rainforest in Malaysia and the oldest in the world. You can go far safaris, canopy walks, cave exploration, and trekking depending on your family interests. There are one-day and multi-day tours and prices vary accordingly. Many of the world’s rare wildlife can be spotted here. Malaysian tiger, Sumatran rhinos, and orangutans are often spotted during tours.

It covers about 4343 square kilometers and is the best option for those who can’t visit Borneo. There are many resorts in this area for all budgets. All forest walks need a guide who will keep you safe in your nature walks. The Taman Negara Canopy Walk has a spectacular view. It is a 510 meters long suspension bridge between treetops, at a height of 45 meters.

What you need to be careful about

mosquitoes and leeches are very common as well as other creepy crawlies. It’s better to wear clothes with long sleeves and long bottoms as well as be generous with mosquito repellents

Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak has flora fauna and limestone caves. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site Bats are common but adult bats are seen only at night. There are vast species of flora and fauna as well as insects. Mulu Marriott Resort and Spa, at the Mulu National Park, Sarawak is perfect for setting up camp for a rainforest holiday with kids.It is just a five-minute walk from Gunung Mulu National Park. If you don’t want to hurry and want a relaxed holiday with wildlife tours, this is a good place to plan your stay.

5 Things you must carry if you plan a trip to Malaysia

You must check with your doctor about the vaccine shots you and your children need before planning a trip to Malaysia.
Food shouldn’t be a problem, as a wide variety is available.
Anti mosquito creams lotions, roll-ons need to be in your kitty.
Don’t make a hectic tour plan .Its not worth the stress. With children try to create memories and keep time in-between for rest and recovery.
Be careful how you travel. While buses are cheap, they may not be the best option for kids

Takeaway:

Malaysia is a beautiful place for a family trip and there are many wonderful options. But if you want an unusual experience the above three are going to be memorable.
