If you don't introduce your child, you make them feel invisible and ignored. It's important that your child feel loved and like they're part of the family.

The internet can have a big influence on teenagers today. They can end up spending a lot of time on online social media and watching internet videos.

When your child falls and bumps their head, do not allow them to go to sleep for at least two hours. This is because you want to monitor for symptoms that your child may have suffered from internal bleeding. Some symptoms include disorientation, confusion, headache and dizziness complaints, and blurred vision. If your child has these symptoms, bring him/her to the emergency room.
