Subject field(s)
  • Trade Names
  • Baby and Child Care
OBS

The Period of PURPLE Crying® is the phrase used to describe the point in a baby's life when they cry more than any other time. This period of increased crying is often described as colic, but there have been many misunderstandings about what “colic” really is. The Period of PURPLE Crying® is a new way to help parents understand this time in their baby's life, which is a normal part of every infant's development. It is confusing and concerning to be told your baby “has colic” because it sounds like it is an illness or a condition that is abnormal. When the baby is given colic medicine it reinforces the idea that there is something wrong with the baby when in fact the baby is going through a very normal developmental phase. That is why we prefer to refer to this time as the Period of PURPLE Crying®. No, it is not because the baby turns purple when he/she cries but provides a meaningful and memorable way to describe what parents and their babies are going through. The Period of PURPLE Crying® begins at about 2 weeks of age and continues until about 3-4 months.

OBS

The letters in PURPLE stand for P (Peak of crying); U (Unexpected); R (Resists soothing); P (Pain-like face); L (Long lasting); E (Evening).

OBS

D’un point de vue positif, l’évaluation croissante de la relation entre le syndrome du bébé secoué et le nourrisson qui pleure indique qu’on pourrait réduire ce syndrome en offrant tôt aux nouveaux parents des programmes éducatifs universels. L’objectif serait de les aider à comprendre que ces pleurs sont normaux, peuvent être frustrantes, et que réagir en secouant le bébé cause des blessures graves au cerveau et peut même entraîner la mort. À cette fin, le National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome a publié des brochures et des DVD/vidéos d’intervention intitulés The Period of PURPLE Crying® afin d’encourager la plus grande diffusion possible auprès des services de santé et du grand public. Dans le mot PURPLE, chaque lettre renvoie à chacune des six caractéristiques des pleurs normaux typiques des premiers mois de la vie (P pour pleurs d’intensité maximale; U pour le moment inattendu auquel se produit l’accès prolongé de pleurs; R pour résistance à l’apaisement; P pour visage qui semble souffrir même si le nourrisson ne souffre pas; L pour long accès de pleurs, et E pour pleurs concentrés dans la soirée).

OBS

Por la cantidad y la facilidad técnica, los investigadores han apuntado hacia la reserva de embriones que puedan obtenerse como desecho de otras técnicas de fertilización asistida: hay muchos disponibles, no existe un marco legal completamente desarrollado para su protección y, por otra parte, son fuente segura y sencilla de células madre.

A reality that is difficult to confront but impossible to deny because it is blatantly obvious.

CONT

[Even] when we want to deceive ourselves it's difficult because inflation is such an in-our-face part of everyday life. It's almost like when your best friend gives birth to an ugly baby. You lie and tell her that the kid is beautiful, hoping that some day he will be. But the parents aren’t blind, and they know the kid isn’t going to be supporting the family by modeling anytime soon. [Inflation] is a funny thing. Like the ugly baby, you can deny its existence even as it is goo-gooing you in the face. But eventually the truth will come out.

The only part of the female flower that we see when the plant is growing are the fine hairs called silks. These are actually tubes through which pollen will travel when released from the male flower or tassel that branches at the top of the plant. The wind carries pollen from the tassels on some corn plants to silks on others. Each strand of silk that is fertilized develops into a kernel of corn with the characteristics of both parents.

Multinational media companies are creating education programmes which leapfrog over schools and appeal directly to children and their parents. One senior executive has predicted that educators may be paid more than film stars in the years to come. However, this international ’edutainment’ material is driven by commercial values and we risk losing out to a tidal wave of relatively low quality and certainly low cost materials with just enough educational content to make it attractive to parents.

New evidence on the effects of early experiences on brain development, school readiness and health in later life has sparked a growing consensus about early child development as a powerful determinant of health in its own right. At the same time, we have been learning more about how all of the other determinants of health affect the physical, social, mental, emotional and spiritual development of children and youth. For example, a young person's development is greatly affected by his or her housing and neighborhood, family income and level of parents’ education, access to nutritious foods and physical recreation, genetic makeup and access to dental and medical.

Dana has not been able to adjust to the adoptive placement, and while her behavior has not been a problem, her adoptive parents complain that she "just doesn’t fit in - it’s like she doesn’t care whether we’re here or not".

OBS

The term "intact" here implies not only that the mental integrity of a subject has not been severely affected by either inside or outside forces, but that the subject has still all his wit’s about him despite a few emotional problems. In other words, he cannot yet be categorized as having a mental sickness or disorder.
