Young children and body image: Changing the message (https://goo.gl/XbmZo7)
We often associate body image issues with teen girls struggling to feel confident as their bodies begin to mature, but recent studies show that the issue may run much deeper. Findings indicate that children as young as 5 and 6 years old are beginning to scrutinize their features and dislike how they look.
Research shows that early development of body image issues may stem from parents who struggle to appreciate their own bodies. It is important to set a good example for children by focussing more on feeling healthy than having a certain bodily appearance.

Managing anxiety in children: Tips for parents (https://goo.gl/Fyfv7g)
Having a child with anxiety can involve dealing with some frustrating situations, and it is important to know how to help them in a way that does not dismiss their worry or tear them down. Many parents have the initial urge to reassure their children about their concerns, and emphasize that everything will be ok. however, this may not be the best course of action.
When your child is feeling anxious, stop and breathe with them and express that you understand how they are feeling. You can tell them why worrying can be a healthy way to avoid things that can harm us, but help them realize that they may be worrying about things that are not harmful.

ADHD May Be An Assortment of Disorders (https://goo.gl/qNHGeR)
A new study found that those who had ADHD may have impairments in certain brain systems, and suggests that not everyone is the same on a neurobiological level. This is contrary to previous studies that have suggested that everyone with ADHD was the same. The study was done on 117 adolescents with ADHD to see what type of impulsive behaviors they had.
