What about kids and marijuana?
Marijuana, like other drugs, is not for kids. There are many activities in our society that we permit adults to do, but forbid children, such as motorcycle riding, skydiving, signing contracts, getting married and drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco. However, we do not condone arresting adults who responsibly engage in these activities in order to dissuade our children from doing so. Nor can we justify arresting adult marijuana smokers on the grounds of sending a message to children.Brave Kids is the non-profit organization that helps children with chronic, life threatening illnesses and disabilities. Approximately 2.5 million children were admitted to hospitals nationally last year. Brave Kids offers 3 programs: The online community and web resource center for kids with special needs, their families and healthcare professionals. The Bravekids.

What is involved in applying for SSI for the child?
To qualify for SSI the child must meet the disability and income requirements established by the SSA. The child must have a disability that has lasted, or is expected to last, for a year. Additionally, the disability must result in an impairment that interferes with daily living, e.g. inability to function in a regular classroom at school.

I am concerned about my kids' Internet use. Can I track where they are going online?
Yes, there are ways you can track where they've been online, but be aware that computer-savvy kids know how to cover their Internet tracks. It's more effective to have clear rules about Internet use and to communicate openly with your kids. When you surf the Internet, your Web browser collects information about the places you visit and stores it on your computer.

Is Adult ADD Genetic?
Research done to-date suggests that ADHD runs in families. Research also suggests that the ADHD that progresses into adulthood is more highly related to genetics than ADHD that lessens or disappears in childhood.Orthopaedic Disorders: The Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Group physicians in the Orthopaedic Hospital Outpatient Medical Center (Children's Clinic) primarily treat children's orthopaedic disorders, in addition to treating pediatric neurology and pediatric urology. Adult patients are seen at some of the private practices of orthopaedic surgeons who have their private practice offices on the Orthopaedic Medical Center campus.

Is child maltreatment a health issue for children and adults?
Yes. To begin with, many abused and neglected children start their lives with significant health problems. For example, some are born with low birthweights because their mothers have not had adequate prenatal care. Other children are prenatally exposed to illegal drugs, alcohol, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases.Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of children from ages 1 to 14. About 50% of these deaths to children under 5 involved children that were unrestrained. Of those that were restrained, misuse is reported in 80-95% of cases. Injuries requiring hospitalization are even more common, and many involve the head, neck and spine. Some of these injuries are permanent. Child restraints are VERY effective for reducing deaths and injuries. Also see: No.
