Delayed development of speech in children, the reasons: the latest data 2018

When a woman discovers that she is expecting a child, shebecoming the most careful creature in the world - even paranoia. Ten times she will ask the doctor whether she can take this or that remedy, re-read the instructions and study the reviews on the Internet. But not always it turns out to be safe. After all, sometimes we learn about pregnancy is not the first week. Rather closer to the fifth, and even to the eighth. Some even manage to reach the birth, unaware of their position. And they have time to eat or drink something wrong. But it turns out that even those means that are considered to be practically harmless may not be so harmless. For example, paracetamol. This medicine is one of the safest analgesics for pregnant women. Of course, it is also undesirable to take it, but if there is a need, then where to go. Physically, paracetamol does not harm the unborn child. Or can it?Photo:GettyImagesA study published by the journal has recently appeared online. It is devoted specifically to the effect of paracetamol on the health of the baby. Experts monitored the condition of 754 women from the 8th to the 13th week of pregnancy, and then the development of their children up to the age of two and a half years. "The daughters of those women who took paracetamol six or more times in the early stages learn to speak more slowly. But paracetamol did not affect the speech development of boys in any way," the authoritative medical publication quotes. It turns out that it is better not to take the analgesic at all? But what to replace this medicine with is still unclear. But scientists reassure: the main thing is to survive the first trimester. Taking paracetamol in the later stages of pregnancy is completely safe for the fetus. Unless, of course, the dosage is violated.

Speech delays in children - causes

Listening to the stories of friends about going to a speech therapist,I want to say: "But before that it was not!" Yes, you understood correctly, with that same nasty intonation of the old woman from the shop. "We did not get seats in the speech therapy garden. Too many children with demands, too few places in kindergartens, "complains the mother of the five-year-old Tim. "But we have testimonies!" Everything needs to be corrected to school! The problem is even steeper than I thought, since there are not enough places in the kindergartens. It's hardly the case in the sudden happening five years ago baby boom. There was not him.Photo:GettyImagesYes, children are starting to talk later and later. And the quality of speech is getting worse. Why?.. After all, people are not getting dumber! Scientists from the University of Toronto tried to answer this question. More precisely, they wondered how smartphones and tablets affect the development of children, and came to some rather unexpected conclusions. The first conclusion was this: the more time a child spends looking at a gadget screen, the more problems he has with sleep. The second: the more children under two years old use smartphones and tablets, the more likely the child will have a speech delay. To find out, scientists examined almost 900 children over the course of a year and a half. And they didn’t even expect that SO MANY children would use mobile devices. The numbers are as follows: every fifth child plays with a smartphone or tablet for about half an hour a day. This is normal. No consequences. But every subsequent half hour increases the risk of speech development delay by about 50 percent. Oops. Something to think about, right? Now scientists are planning to continue their research and find out whether the type of content children watch, the time of day, and the presence of parents influence children's development. And while they are figuring this out, turn on the timer. For half an hour. It is also useful to know:
