"Oh no, not again!" Soggy sheets and pajamas — and an embarrassed child — are a familiar scene in many homes.

But don't despair. Bed-wetting isn't a sign of toilet training gone bad. It's often a normal part of development.

A Children's multivitamin is often used as insurance against fussy eating or for when illness strikes.

Unfortunately, it seems the market is flooded with kids supplements that contain potentially dangerous ingredients as well as heaps of sugar.

So let's take a look at Kids Multivitamin offerings.

Australia now has the highest rates of childhood obesity in the developed world, with 25% of our children currently overweight or obese.

Childhood obesity is a ticking "time bomb" which could result in the first drop in life expectancy for the first time in two centuries.

Emed investigates why our kids are getting so fat and ways to prevent this epidemic. 

We all want the best for our children, and this includes helping them to develop and grow both physically and mentally.

With 1 in 16 school- aged children now being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and 1 in 91 being diagnosed with autism, we must begin asking “Is there something more that we can do?”

Even without a diagnosis, many children struggle with various aspects of cognitive function and learning, including memory, judgement, problem solving, and language development.

Poor learning or behaviour needn’t be an inevitable part of life. With some simple strategies, you can help your children achieve their full potential.

Gluten is the scourge of many for its effects on digestive health. But how many of you are aware of its drug-like effects on the brain?

A Gluten-free diet is now being recognised for its beneficial effects on neurological disorders, especially ADD, ADHD, Autism and even Schizophrenia.

The percentage of people with asthma has increased steadily over the last half of the 20th century: a recent study showed that 35% of 12- to 14-year-olds in the United Kingdom experience allergy symptoms annually.

This increase may be linked to environmental factors, including eating certain foods. Eating dietary cereals, such as such as wheat, rye, oats, and barley, can cause an allergic reaction to grass pollen.

Providing cereals in the diets of infants, whose digestive systems are not fully mature, may increase the likelihood of grass pollen allergies later in life.

Nappy rash is a term used for inflammation of the skin that occurs in the nappy area. Almost all babies develop it at some stage when they are in nappies.

It tends to be due to a combination of factors, but the most important one is related to the wearing of nappies, as the name suggests.

Giving children paracetamol during their first year of life can increase their risk of developing asthma according to new research published in Lancet.

Currently over 2.2 million Australians have asthma and incidence has been increasing over the last 50 years but we don't exactly know why.
