Issues 20 and 21 of Pregnant covered your child’s safety in the kitchen, washroom and bathroom. This edition talks about your child’s safety outside the house.

What is wrong with you sonny?! It could be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Children sometimes daydream in class, may forget to do their homework or even fidget at the dinner table, behaviour which is considered normal. On the other hand, there are children who can’t sit still, who hardly listen and keep blurting out inappropriate comments. Most of the time, they are labelled as trouble- makers and are…
