Migraines, too, can appear early in life but with awareness and trigger management, they’re usually manageable. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Your child is extremely tired or irritated.
Even though some weariness or irritability is common during illness, you should visit a doctor if your child is difficult to wake up or shows very high levels of discomfort.
Your child is really stiff or hurt, particularly around the neck.
Pain that restricts movement is always worth seeking medical attention for.
When to Worry About Your Child’s Fever And When Not To
Every parent knows that uneasy feeling when they touch their child’s forehead and feel the heat. A fever can turn even the calmest parent into a bundle of nerves and that’s completely understandable. A fever frequently serves as the body&#039;s alarm system, warning that something may be amiss. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The prevalence of autism is much higher than most people think. About 1 in 59 children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to the CDC. This is a startling increase from the early 2000s, when the number was closer to 1 in 150. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Parenting often feels like a full-on circus act. Some days you’re juggling snacks, homework, laundry, bedtime stories, and a meltdown or two—all while trying to keep your own sanity intact. Indeed, it can be gratifying to act like a superhero and take care of all your child&#039;s needs before they even ask. The reality is that, although it may feel good in the moment, our true role as parents is to gradually help them learn to stand on their own two feet. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Ever feel like your kids could single-handedly power the national grid if only you could plug them in? You’re not alone.

<description><![CDATA[ Let us face it, nothing ruins a calm day at home quite like the abrupt (and somehow always dramatic) announcement from the adjacent room: &quot;I am bored!&quot; Furthermore, although boredom can serve as a creative spark, it also frequently degenerates into either full-fledged sibling wrestling matches or your child creating a brand-new game in which they must hop pointlessly from the couch to the dining table. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If you just gave birth or are planning to do so, you have undoubtedly heard the term &quot;jaundice&quot; used in medical settings or in forums for new parents. Although the slight yellow tint that tinges a newborn&#039;s skin can seem unsettling at first, minor jaundice is really rather frequent and, for the most part, quite acceptable. Nevertheless, it is important to know what is going on within that little body, what to look out for, and what the new pediatric recommendations mean for you and your child. ]]></description>
