San Jose State College campus. The 1898 building was three stories in brick and stone and cost $75,000; it was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and after school for two years along with Lincoln High School, it returned to a new building on the same site that had been in use since 1908 to 1951. [3] The high school campus was designed by a Pasadena architect. F. S. Allen in Mission Revival style and cost $175,000; it housed various objects in separate buildings connected by arcades forming courtyards. [5]

    In 1951, intending to expand the college, the State of California canceled its permission to locate the high school on the San Jose State campus, and in 1952 the school moved to its current location at the corner of 24th and Julian Streets. The original building cost $2,500,000. Ernest J. Kamp, was selected that year by the Museum of Modern Art as one of 43 Outstanding Examples of Modern Architecture. [3] [6] It has since been greatly expanded, including a swimming pool in 1959, two new wings and a complete theater stage in 1961, and a new science building and a new engineering building dedicated to career technology, in the first decade of the 21st century.

    The most accurate school rating tool is this map from Stanford

    A decade ago Sean Reardon, a professor at Stanford, embarked on a slightly insane project to compile and standardize test scores from every public school in the US. Having that data, he and his colleagues thought, would reveal the real gaps in achievement between rich and poor, black and white, boys and girls, and other groups. Armed with these numbers, parents and policymakers could push to make education the vehicle for social mobility it’s meant to be, by highlighting the schools that support kids with high-quality learning and those that don’t.

    That project—the Stanford Education Data Archive—is now publicly available as an engrossing interactive tool, incorporating more than 350 million test scores at every single public school serving grades 3-8 in America. Parents can see how their school and district performs on tests, and also its pace of learning over time and in relation to other schools and districts. Policymakers can use it to see which schools are doing well, and which are not, taking in more than just test scores. (Test scores tend to reflect way more than kids’ abilities or the quality of a school, including support at home, early childhood opportunities from care to preschools, after-school programs, and what’s available in the neighborhood.) Kids can use it to support their own activist efforts.

    Reardon and a team of researchers have published various papers from the data, including a new one which argues that while racial segregation is a strong predictor of achievement gaps, school poverty—and not the racial composition of schools—accounts for this effect. “While racial segregation is important, it’s not the race of one’s classmates that matters, per se,” said Reardon. “It’s the fact that in America today, racial segregation brings with it very unequal concentrations of students in high- and low-poverty schools.”

    At the same time, the group dug into the data to show that many poor schools and districts still produce above-average learning gains for students. Reardon and his team compared Chicago’s Public Schools—famous for high levels of segregation and underperformance—and Maryland’s Anne Arundel County as case studies.

    In third grade, the average student in Chicago scores below a second-grade level. As the chart shows, in well-off Anne Arundel County average test scores at the same age are above the grade level.

    Image: edopportunity.org

    Advertisement

    By 8th grade, however, Chicago has caught up and students are performing near the national average, whereas Anne Arundel students have moved down. Chicago students—poorer and less white—experienced the equivalent of six years of average learning in the five years between third and eighth grade. In Anne Arundel, though students are on average wealthier, they learn at a slower rate than their counterparts in Chicago. By eighth grade, their scores are only slightly above average.

    Image: edopportunity.org

    Despite differences in the pace of improvement, eighth graders in Anne Arundel still achieve higher average test scores than in Chicago. But Reardon says it is wrong to think test scores are a reliable measure of school quality, and uses an analogy with hospitals to make his point.

    “We shouldn’t assess a hospital based on the health of its patients; rather, we should ask how much a patient’s health improves as a result of his or her time in that hospital,” he said. “Similarly, we shouldn’t evaluate a school based on the average scores of its students, but rather by how much students learn while in school.”

    Indeed, looking at a map of learning rates between third and eighth grade, instead of a snapshot of test scores in any given year, Chicago looks better, especially considering the lower socioeconomic status of its typical student compared with Anne Arundel.

    Image: edopportunity.org

    Most parents would probably still pick Anne Arundel over Chicago, if they could: the test scores are better. But they would be smart to demand more from Anne Arundel, and give Chicago educators’ credit for the work they’re doing.

    The dataset offers a powerful tool for parents to see whether their children are learning above or below the average for schools in their neighborhoods. As Erin Fahle, an assistant professor at St John’s University and co-author of the paper on segregation, puts it: “Parents could be strong engines of change in their local areas by giving them more information.”

    US Private School Rankings | Forbes Education

    International students and their parents, first of all, pay attention to academic criteria, which include:
    – composite SAT / ACT result;
    – score of key choice universities;
    – admission to universities;
    – the ratio of students and teachers.

    The first criterion – the results of the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Testing) *** exams, as can be seen from the table, is given 30% of the total rating indicators. However, unlike the British rating system, where absolutely all the results of graduates are important, only the results of the students who provided them to the rating system are taken into account here.
    Recommendation: you should always look not only at the average score on the exam results, but also on the basis of how many students in the school who passed this test, the average score was built.

    The second important criterion is the score of the key choice universities. All universities in Niche are also ranked from A to D, and, accordingly, the higher the group belongs to the university, the more points this criterion will receive. It is important to note that this parameter includes universities where students plan to apply. The description says so: “universities that students consider as options for admission. ” Is this criterion significant? Yes, it demonstrates the level of preparation of students at the school, their ambitions and opportunities to apply to, for example, top universities. But this criterion does not show the real results of enrollment.
    Recommendation: the real results of admission can be found, as a rule, on the websites of the schools themselves, and it is better to collect information from different sources.

    The third criterion – admission to universities is an official statistical criterion. It shows what percentage of school graduates went to universities.
    Recommendation: note that the parameter is quantitative, without quality assessment: here the weight of the university is not taken into account – admissions to Ivy League universities and not the most prestigious public universities are equally considered.

    The fourth criterion is the ratio of teaching staff to the number of students. Here the numbers can vary greatly from five to twenty students per teacher. The figures shown are the ratio of all students to all full-time teachers.
    Recommendation: It is important to understand that this is not an average class size. Classes can be fifteen students in a super-rated school, and eight students in a just good school. It all depends on the set of criteria, the specific subject and school policy.

    Parent/student surveys of overall school experience is another interesting ranking indicator. As we already understand, this criterion can be very subjective. Strong students may like all aspects of academic life, but if a student was unable to enter, for example, an advanced program in a certain subject (AP level), then he, theoretically, can write that his school is very mediocre and does not provide opportunities for development. This parameter can provide an overview of the school, but cannot be the key to the final decision on the choice of an educational institution.

    Separately, I want to pay attention to the criterion of culture, ethnic and economic diversity, since it is also important, although not the key one (10%), when compiling school rankings. Since the United States is a country of equal opportunities, aimed at developing equal rights for all groups of the population, the fulfillment of this criterion depends on the presence of all ethnic groups in the composition of school students. You can see in detail the percentage of different ethnic groups in schools on the school page in the Niche system.

    This rating is, of course, important and interesting for obtaining primary information about schools of potential education for international students.

    At the same time, it does not take into account criteria that could be important for international students:
    – the level of academic and social support for students coming from abroad;
    – the level of SAT / ACT passing by foreign students;
    – the results of admission to universities of international students, etc.

    Hello my name is Laura and I have worked as a nanny for 20+ years in Talega, San Clemente and my last family lived in Aliso Viejo. I am experienced with newborns, toddlers, twins and kids with severe foodallergies. Through the years as a nanny, I believe I have made a difference in kids lives. I give them love, educate them in ABC’s, numbers and colors, and build confidence. I also teach how to have good manners, and I also adhere to the parents directives. I just said good bye to the family I have been with for over 5 years because sadly they moved to Georgia for work.
    During my 5+ years with their family, I took the kids on playdates, dance class, doctor’s appointments, gym classes, read them many books, but my top priority was always their safety and happiness.
    I am currently looking for a new family of any age children, however I would love to start with a newborn or younger children so I can be with them for years to come.

    Pamplin Media Group – City ordinance prevents childcare service from opening in Wilsonville

    My Bundle of Joy daycare hopes to open a location in Day Dream Ranch neighborhood.


    When Monet Halton moved to Wilsonville a little over two years ago, her first impression was that it’s a family-oriented community. But she also saw a need for more childcare options, and considering she’s owned and operated the childcare facility My Bundle of Joy for 20 years, she thought she could provide a solution for residents.

    With four locations in and around Portland, My Bundle of Joy utilizes single-family homes that have been renovated to accommodate childcare services for infants and toddlers. Halton’s plan was to do the same in Wilsonville, leading to the purchase of a home on Southwest Wilson Lane in the Day Dream Ranch neighborhood. She renovated the home with the intent of opening her fifth location in mid-July, but before she could open her doors for business she received an email for the City.

    “(The City) asked if I had a business license and I said I didn’t know that I needed one because it’s not required in Portland. We’re licensed and regulated by the state, but I said I was happy to fill it out and they sent it over to me,” Halton says. “Then I received another email that … they had received a complaint that I was running a daycare facility and wasn’t living there.

    “I had this ribbon-cutting ceremony planned with the mayor and the Chamber of Commerce and all of a sudden I can’t even open.”

    Wilsonville City code says that any home business must “be carried on by an immediate member of the family residing within the dwelling place. A home occupation shall require no structural alteration or changes to the exterior of the dwelling, and shall include no display of merchandise on the premises which can be seen from the exterior of the dwelling.”

    A D V E R T I S I N G | Continue reading below

    City code also requires that any home business avoid creating any noise that could be detected by neighbors. A third requirement is that “traffic and parking are to be such as to give no outward appearance that a business is being conducted on the premises.”

    Because Halton was not living at the home — instead, a family registered and licensed by the state to operate a daycare facility would live at the home like at her other locations — she was in violation with City code. Wilsonville City staff set up a meeting with Halton to discuss business requirements, asking her to create a plan that complies with all aspects of the ordinance.

    “We met in July to go over the city development code about how home businesses need to operate and I have not heard from her since that meeting,” says City Planner Chris Neamtzu. “The ordinance is intended to provide peace and quiet in neighborhood and minimize those things that come along with a commercial business.

    “She described that she has no intention of living in the home. That’s significant, because it’s intended to be a house and home first, a primary residence. Anybody in a home can have a business, but you can’t buy houses and turn them into commercial businesses.”

    Halton says she hasn’t received complaints from any of her other locations related to noise or traffic concerns. Her business has a ratio of four children for every certified caretaker, generally limiting the total number of children to about a dozen. While she doesn’t intend to live in the home herself, she doesn’t believe her daycare will be a nuisance to surrounding neighbors.

    A D V E R T I S I N G | Continue reading below

    “We’re a very niche business, and we only have children three and younger, so they make joyful noises, and if they’re not happy outside they don’t stay out there so that we minimize noise,” Halton says. “We’re professionals in this business, we have been for 20 years, and we are going to continue as professionals. There are no toys outside, no screaming from children, and parents have to read policies and procedures. We treat it like we would our own neighborhoods.

    “There are only two drop-off and pick-up times, so it’s not like there’s heavy traffic created on the street.”

    The required business license could take up to 45 days to complete, but Neamtzu says he still hasn’t received a written plan from My Bundle of Joy to start that process. He says there’s no plan to revise the ordinance at this time. Halton, meanwhile, hopes to open in November or December, but is currently at a stalemate.

    “It’s frustrating that we can’t make this work. We have people on a waitlist bugging us on a weekly basis but we can’t open,” Halton says. “It would be a really good thing for community and people are excited for it. An outdated city ordinance shouldn’t stand in the way of a business that’s going to help the community.

    So Your Kid Brought Home COVID

    There are those two pink lines again. This time around, they’re promising a little bundle of joy named…COVID-19.

    Unfortunately, COVID infections are likely to be an unpleasant but common school nuisance this year, like the continuing bus driver shortage. Multnomah County health officials estimate about 150,000 of the county’s 800,000 residents have had the illness, which is likely an undercount with the ubiquity of in-home tests.

    The ‘vid came for my family in early August (indoor family reunion of 17 people from four states, what could go wrong?) infecting me, my husband and one of our three children, all with mild symptoms.

    Here’s how to get your family through it.

    Get vaccinated and boosted.

    You still have six days until a morning bell rings at Portland Public Schools, which is plenty of time to make sure you and your offspring are up to date on your shots. Everyone age 5 and older should have at least one booster by now, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    For your teens, the White House is predicting that an updated COVID vaccine that targets omicron subvariants will be available by “early to mid-September” for everyone over the age of 12. As we have seen, though, vaccine rollouts can be unpredictable.

    “The best vaccine is the vaccine that goes into somebody’s arm,” says Lorne Walker, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Oregon Health & Science University. “It’s better than a theoretical vaccine in the future.”

    Tell the school nurse your child is sick.

    Do this as soon as possible, both so the school can get a heads-up about possible exposure and so the nurse can help you set your return-to-school date. Portland Public Schools is following state guidelines that students or staff who test positive must isolate at home for five days. They may return after symptoms are improving and they are fever-free. They should then mask at school for an additional five days.

    Set up your positive and negative zones.

    Protect everyone—and especially any elderly or immunocompromised relatives who live with you—by setting up your sick space. That’s the positive zone. Anybody who still has just one pink line on a test? They stay in the negative zone. That’s your best shot at preventing one case from spreading throughout the household.

    At least, that’s the theory.

    I convalesced in my bedroom with two fans, cracked windows and an air filter running 24-7. I wore an N95 mask whenever I left my zone and washed my hands whenever I had to prepare food, which was even on my sickest days because that’s motherhood. We split up and ate at positive and negative dinner tables. (Eating outside would have been even smarter.)

    We all shared a bathroom, which was a no-no but unavoidable in our house. According to the CDC, we should have all been wearing masks and cleaning and airing out the bathroom between uses; we did none of that. I forgive myself because the CDC’s magical bathroom-cleaning fairy never arrived and I was too sick to do it.

    Hoard tests.

    Many of the iHealth Antigen Rapid Tests in the orange boxes that the government sent in the winter say they expire around now. However, the Food and Drug Administration has granted the iHealth tests a six-month shelf life extension so they’re good to go a while longer (you can check your new expiration dates at ihealthlabs.com/pages/news).

    Still, our friends and family were feeling very generous giving us extra tests, which we appreciated because we were going through five a day at peak infection.

    Get Paxlovid if you can.

    There are a handful of treatments for COVID available, which are especially helpful for adults over 50, the unvaccinated or immunocompromised. I am none of those things, but I sweet-talked a doctor into a five-day course of Paxlovid and it stopped my infection in its tracks. It left my mouth tasting like metal with a hint of rotten grapefruit, but it allowed me to feel well enough to take care of my kids and I was extremely grateful.

    Go wild with screen time.

    There are two times I let my kids watch unlimited television and movies: airplanes and sick days. Release the guilt, forget every American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation you’ve been trying to follow, and hand over the remote. My trio took my phone and started their first YouTube channel. We did balance this out with gentle walks every day.

    Ease back into sports if necessary.

    About 20% to 25% of kids might have lingering symptoms after their acute COVID infections, according to Dr. Walker. He suggests if children are having difficulty breathing or are easily fatigued, they should slowly ramp activity back up.

    “But if you’re at day six and you’re feeling great and ready to go back to volleyball practice, go for it,” he says. “We want kids to be active and engaged.”

    Good luck, parents. You’ll probably get some March 2020 flashbacks when you bust out the jigsaw puzzles, queue up the Netflix and bake bread. But that’s also good news: We know how to do this.

    5 photographers who didn’t make a mistake — Bird In Flight

    Human mimicry for furniture, a variety of cookies and photo correspondence about encouraging everyday life — Olga Bubich talks about 5 scenes shot in the scenery of one room.

    “Don’t leave the room, don’t make a mistake,” Brodsky wrote almost half a century ago. Many are familiar with the first line of the poem, but few remember its continuation. Nevertheless, further in the stanzas, a whole anthem of a self-sufficient introvert unfolds, who feels great, dances, “having caught a bossa nova in a coat on her naked body, in shoes on her bare feet. ” The poet’s love for “a space made out of a corridor” is shared by some modern photographers, who in the scenery of “a wall and a chair” find an incentive for philosophical reflections about themselves and the world. Photo critic Olga Bubich analyzes the photographs of 5 authors whose stories literally did not go beyond the boundaries of the room.

    Laura Letinsky. Painting in your kitchen

    Professor of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago, photographer Laura Letinsky has been working with still life since the mid-1990s, and she considers 17th-century Dutch painting to be the reason for turning to the genre. In the masterpieces of that period, fruit, crockery, and kitchen and dining interior items also occupy a central place, but they have more in common with Letinsky’s projects than only visual commonality.

    The American admits that symbolic analysis, when historians are trying to figure out the deep “why” and “why” of the presence of some object or product in classical still lifes, did not interest her much. She is sure that the arguments in the style of “a dog on her knees means fidelity to her husband” only destroy the magic of atmosphere and composition. It is much more interesting to observe exactly how the artists tried to depict both banal and valuable objects in two-dimensional space.

    “The strength of the paintings of that time, in my opinion, lies in the tension between the illusion of perspective (so popular these days thanks to photographic monocular vision) and the author’s gaze of a particular painter,” explains Letinsky. — Unprecedented wealth, which fell upon the inhabitants of Northern Europe in the 17th century, during the birth of capitalism, was faced with a lack of tradition and ideology of owning it. The still life came to the rescue, which became a means of adapting luxury to an existing culture that avoided the ostentatious display of wealth. It made it possible to depict all objects, regardless of their value, with equal attention, in accordance with the Protestant spirit characteristic of Northern Europe at that time. The canvases showed not so much the possession of objects as they used them as markers of the “good life” to which one should aspire.

    Letinski’s projects and Dutch painting are united by their attention to the theme of the kitchen, but what is “in the frame” is still slightly different in the two cases. The series “To Say It’s Wrong”, “The Dog and the Wolf”, “The Fall”, “Hardly More Than Usual” are collected from seemingly random frames with post-meal scenes – what remains on the table after the end of a noisy party or a modest breakfast “in a close family circle.” A dirty bowl, a squeezed lemon, and a used napkin comfortably fit into the composition. Close attention from the photographer makes them participants in the denouement of the story: each is a full-fledged hero, worthy of words and opinions, capable of being charming. The scene unfolds in a metaphorical vein, hinting at the delicacy and fragility of the banal beauty of the ugly, which we rarely pay attention to in everyday bustle.

    “Today we constantly use images as a language of communication,” comments Laura. “We need mobile phones not to talk, but to scrupulously document every centimeter of existence. What’s this? Revelation? Or repetition? Realizing that every day 500 million pictures are thrown onto the Web, what exactly is photography becoming today? These and other questions I ask myself in my work.

    Viktor Gilitsky. Zen crunch in every frame

    In everyday life of every person there is a standard set of things that he uses. We sometimes make our choice in favor of trusted brands and tastes familiar from childhood. Faced with familiar products on store shelves almost daily, we stop paying attention to details – the packaging design remains out of sight, and sometimes even the taste of what is inside.

    “With this project, I wanted to pay attention to the shape of the most popular cookies of my childhood — those ornaments, patterns and images that confectionery companies have not changed for decades,” says the photographer. “After all, the manufacturer responsibly approaches the name, shape of cookies and packaging, thereby preparing the buyer for the taste and aroma of the product.

    Images of animals and traditional Belarusian patterns are stamped onto cookies pack by pack. It would seem that these small “canvases” of culinary art are created without striving for beauty, and most of them go unnoticed, being eaten in an instant. But, by bringing together all the varieties of cookies, you understand what kind of work is hidden behind each name or pattern.

    A series of 30 portrait scans makes it possible to satisfy not only physical, but also visual hunger, and Victor himself does not doubt for a second the benefits of culinary Zen Buddhism. “Try to stop looking at the image itself a little longer than it happens in everyday life, find differences in drawings that are similar only at first glance, compare and evaluate the individual character of each of them,” the author urges. – And it’s not about whether you like cookies or not, whether they are beautiful or boring. With my collection, it is important for me to emphasize that even in the simplest objects one can notice a lot of curious nuances and details, and studying them is an art in itself.”

    Maria Alexandra Vettes and Stephanie Congdon Barnes. Good morning planet!

    The success story of A Year of Mornings is similar to a phone dating movie script, only in the case of two American photographers, Maria Alexandra Vettes and Stephanie Congdon Barnes, the scene is in the kitchen. More precisely, two kitchens located at a distance of more than three thousand miles from each other.

    The women met in the fall of 2005 on the Web and, noticing that the style of their everyday photographs was similar, they decided to try to start a common blog. Every day they exchanged with each other one picture taken at ten in the morning. The blog was called “3191” is the exact number of miles separating the two cities of the same name Portland in Oregon and Maine.

    Over the course of a year, a sweet friendly hobby “for two” grew into a real calendar of very warm moods – a source of inspiration, a positive experience of the moment “here and now” and attempts to find a reason for joy in everyday life. Despite the difference in style and rhythm of life, Maria and Stephanie were united by optimism – “and also a love of coffee and breakfast,” adds Maria. The page quickly gained a lot of fans, and the photos were published in two photobooks “A Year Consisting of Mornings” and “A Year Consisting of Evenings”.

    The Year of Mornings by Maria Alexandra Vettes and Stephanie Congdon Barnes.

    The book is arranged like a calendar: pairs of photographs are accompanied by the date of shooting, each season of the year is presented in a separate section. Despite the accuracy and calmness of the photographs, which are really indistinguishable in terms of authorship, we see on them not only sterile compositions of plates of cereal or glasses of juice, but also a lot of “noise”: scattered clothes, unmade beds, dirty plates, fruit skins, stains from dishes and traces of cooking on the countertops. “But we both knew how to see the beauty in all this! Barnes concludes. “I didn’t see my task as documenting all the nuances of the morning routine, but rather I wanted to give each day the opportunity to remain in memory with something special.”

    Max Sher. Waltzing with ghosts

    But who said that a room is a space limited by four walls, a floor and a ceiling? In the time perspective, any apartment is just one of the carriages in a long train moving from the past district, house, floor, apartment to their unknown tomorrow. Studying the blurry coordinates of points A and B is an activity that not only historians or futurologists can devote themselves to, but also photographers. Muscovite Maxim Sher managed to not only hear the last notes of the “sounding barely audible evening waltz” of the lives of Galina Babanskaya and Veniamin Averbakh, but also turn it into a separate melody that is still distinguishable today.

    82 photographs from the miraculously preserved archive of the 1960s-1980s are included in a photo book inspired by Sasha Sokolov’s musical quote and Walter Benjamin’s thesis that the true image of the past passes by in a flash. Max accidentally discovered the stories of two St. Petersburg residents in an old communal apartment thanks to a lucky chance – if he had looked there a couple of days later, the archive could have disappeared forever, ending up in the trash heap with other things of previous residents. But the call signs of a distant waltz of memory and the curiosity of the researcher gave the archive a chance for a new life.

    The book with a blue cover and photographs of faded wallpaper on the endpapers includes the archives of the two characters gathered into a single visual canvas and a block with pictures of interiors and objects from the same apartment – the time machine where Cher discovered his treasure. The result was a very strong conceptual statement about the beauty of an elusive moment, about the paradox of the power and impotence of photography, about the chaos of history and invisible connections.

    Anastasia Bogomolova. #place for a gesture

    In Instagram with the tag #place for a gesture, you can now find 27 publications with strange pictures of how the Ural artist Anastasia Bogomolova mimics the furnishings of furnished hotel rooms. Despite the fact that the photographer herself does not consider a set of square pictures “on the phone” to be a series or a project and defines it exclusively as “a therapeutic ritual that helped to survive a collision with the Other,” they still convey a sense of a whole concept. It is not the girl against the background of the room that fits into the frame of a neat portrait, but rather the opposite: the room against the background of the girl is a prize for an attentive viewer who has accepted the conditions of the “find Nastya” game.

    Don’t be a fool! Be what others weren’t.
    Don’t come out of the room! That is, unleash the furniture,
    Merge face with wallpaper. Lock up and barricade yourself with
    Cabinet from chronos, space, eros, race, virus.

    This is how the connoisseur and connoisseur of loneliness with a Venetian residence permit completes his famous verse, and the #place for a gesture allows us to see for ourselves how such a barricade synthesis can look like.

    Prologue

    From the diaries of Dr. Lester Sheen

    May 3, 1993

    I haven’t seen the island for several years. The last time – from my friend’s yacht, which left the bay into the bay. The island was visible in the distance, beyond the inner ridge, in a shroud of summer haze, an occasional smear of paint against the sky.

    I haven’t set foot on it for over two decades, but Emily says (sometimes jokingly, sometimes not) that she thinks I never left. She once said that for me, time is a series of bookmarks, with which I walk back and forth through the text of my life, returning again and again to events that, from the point of view of my astute colleagues, show me as a classic melancholic.

    Emily may be right. She is right so often.

    I will soon lose her too. A matter of months, as Dr. Axelrod told us on Thursday. Take this journey, he advised. The one you keep talking about. Florence, Rome, Venice in spring. You, Lester, are also in poor shape, he added.

    Perhaps. Lately, I’ve been putting things out of place a lot, especially my glasses. And car keys. I enter the store and don’t remember why I came. I leave the theater and immediately forget what the performance was about. If the time for me is indeed a series of bookmarks, then it feels like someone first shook my book so that yellowed strips of paper, torn match labels and plastic coffee stirrers fell out of it, and then straightened the curled corners.

    So I want to write everything down. Don’t edit the text to make yourself look better. No no. He wouldn’t allow it. After all, he in his own way hated lies like no one else. I just want to save the text, transfer it from the current storage (in which, frankly, it became wet and leaks began) to these pages.

    Ashcliff Hospital was located on the central plain in the northwestern part of the island. And, I might add, she had the most decent appearance. Least of all, it looked like a hospital for insane criminals, and even more so like military barracks, which were originally its buildings. For that matter, it reminded us of a boarding school. The caretaker lived in a Victorian attic next to the main building, and our cadre officer lived in the beautiful Tudor castle that once housed the commander of the Northeast Coastal Detachment of the northern army. Behind the wall were the staff quarters—fancy shingle cottages for the clinicians, three squat cinder-block dormitories for the orderlies, wardens, and nurses. Lawns and trimmed hedges, huge shady oaks, Scotch pines, neat maples and apple trees adorned the main territory of the hospital, the fruits of which bombarded the ramparts and scattered on the grass in late autumn. And on the sides of the hospital, a majestic building of solid granite and dark gray slabs, stood red-brick colonial-style twins. Beyond were sheer cliffs and tidal swamps, and a strip of valley that had once been a community farm that had fallen into disrepair shortly after the American Revolution. The trees planted back then – peach, pear, chokeberry – survived, but did not bear fruit for a long time, and the night winds that swept over the valley sometimes howled like stray cats.

    And of course the fort was here long before the arrival of the hospital staff and still stands, towering over the southern cape. And a little further away is the lighthouse, which went out before the Civil War and became an anachronism because of the current Boston counterpart.

    From the sea, it seems to be nothing special. But look through the eyes of Teddy Daniels, who saw it all on a quiet September morning in 1954. Bushy spot in the middle of the bay. Not so much even an island as the idea of ​​an island. What purpose could it possibly have, he thought. That’s exactly what.

    Our largest population was rats. They rustled in the bushes, at night they lined up in battle formations along the coast, climbed the wet rocks. Some are the size of a flounder. After those four strange days in the summer of 1954, I spent years studying the behavior of rats from a hollow in a hill overlooking the north coast. To my surprise, I found that individual rats were trying to swim to Paddock Island, in fact, a rock in a sandbox, which remained under water for twenty-two hours of twenty-four. Whenever, at low tide, an island appeared above the water for an hour and a half, they took a swim, these rats, a dozen, no more, and always a new tide forced them to return home.

    I said “always” but that’s not true. I saw one make it through. Only once. On the full moon before the autumnal equinox, October fifty-six. I clearly saw the black carcass of a water muzzle darting across the shallows.

    Or so it seemed to me. Emily, whom I met on the island, said to me, “Lester, you couldn’t see her from that distance.”

    She’s right.

    And yet I saw with my own eyes. A thick muzzle darted across the pearl-gray sand, sinking back under the water with the return of the tide, ready to swallow Paddock Island with this rat, for it had not come back.

    And at the moment when she was running along the shallows (and yet I saw her, I saw her, thunder strike me), I thought of Teddy. About Teddy and his unfortunate deceased wife Dolores Chanal and their clones, Rachel Solando and Andrew Laddis, this creepy couple who made a uniform mayhem at our place. If Teddy had sat next to me then, I thought, he would have seen that rat too. For sure.

    I’ll tell you more.

    Teddy…

    He would applaud her.

    Day One

    Rachel

    1

    Teddy Daniels’ father was a fisherman. His motorboat was taken by the bank for debts in the thirty-first, when Teddy was eleven years old, and later he was hired by strangers, when there was work, and when there was not, he unloaded something at the docks, and more often, having already returned home by ten in the morning, sat in an armchair, stupidly staring at his hands with wild, cloudy eyes, and whispering something under his breath.

    Daniels Sr. took Teddy with him to go fishing around the islands as a child, when he wasn’t much use. All he could do was unravel the line and untie the hooks. It happened that he was injured, blood appeared on his fingers, smeared on his palms.

    They went out to sea in the dark, and then the sun appeared over the window, as if carved from cold ivory, and then islands floated out of the receding darkness, huddled together, as if they had been caught doing something reprehensible.

    Teddy’s gaze was a row of squat lightish shacks on one of the islands, a dilapidated limestone manor on the other. My father pointed with his finger: there is a prison on Dier, and this is a powerful fort on George. On Thompson Island, birds nested in the crowns of tall trees, and their hubbub was like hailstones hitting glass.

    Beyond them lay the Isle of the Damned, as if thrown into the sea from a passing Spanish galleon. In the spring of the distant twenty-eighth, it was left alone with its own lush vegetation, and the fort, located at the very top, was strangled with climbing shoots and covered with whole caps of moss.

    – Why the Damned? Teddy asked.

    Father shrugged his shoulders:

    – Questions. You are always with your questions.

    – No, really?

    – Yes, they just called it that, and the word stuck. Maybe pirates.

    – Pirates? – It sounded nice. Teddy immediately saw tall men with an eye patch, in high boots, with shiny sabers.

    Father explained:

    – In the old days they used to hide here. His hand circled the horizon. on these islands. They hid themselves, they hid the gold.

    Teddy imagined forged chests and coins falling out from under the lid.

    After a while, he began to turn inside out, again and again, black streams poured overboard.

    The father looked puzzled, because several hours had already passed, and the surface of the ocean gleamed serenely. He said:

    – Everything is fine. Your first time at sea. So there is nothing to be ashamed of.

    Teddy nodded and wiped his mouth with the rag his father handed him. And he continued:

    “Sometimes you don’t feel the rocking until it gets into your guts.

    Teddy nodded again at the impossibility of telling his father that the bouncing had nothing to do with it.

    This is all the water that stretched around, apart from it, there is nothing left in the world. It seemed to him that now she would swallow the sky. Until that moment, he did not think that they were so alone in the world.

    He looked with watery red eyes at his father, who repeated that everything would be fine, and tried to force a smile out of himself.

    In the summer of 1938, his father left Boston on a whaler and never returned. It wasn’t until the following spring that the wreckage of the ship washed up on the Nantucket Shoal near Hull, where Teddy had grown up. Part of a keel, a hot plate with the captain’s name engraved on the bottom, cans of canned tomatoes and potato soup, a couple of lobster traps, perforated and misshapen.

    The mourning ceremony for the four dead fishermen took place in the church of St. Teresa, with its rear wall almost resting on the sea, which carried away so many of its parishioners. Teddy stood next to his mother and listened to the words about the captain, and the first mate, and the third fisherman, an old sea dog named Gil Restak, who has been terrorizing the bars of Hull since he returned from a big war with a crushed heel and a pile of terrible paintings in his head . But death, as one of the bartenders who suffered from him said, forgave him everything.

    The whaler’s owner, Nikos Costa, stated that he hardly knew Teddy’s father and took him in at the last moment when one of the crew members broke his leg in a fall from the truck. The captain then gave a high rating to the newcomer, they say, anyone in the city will tell you that he does his job for good. Can there be a higher praise than this?

    Standing in the church, Teddy remembered that day on his father’s motorboat, after which they no longer went to sea together. His father kept repeating that they would definitely come out, but Teddy understood the purpose of this: to help him keep the remnants of pride. Father never remembered that ill-fated day, but when they returned through the archipelago – the island of the Damned was left behind, Thompson was in front, and their hometown was within easy reach, and all of it was visible so clearly that it seems that you can lift the town hall up by the spire something flashed in his eyes.

    “It’s the sea,” said the father, rubbing his son’s back lightly as they leaned against the stern. Some find themselves here. It subjugates others.

    And while doing so, he looked at Teddy in such a way that it was not difficult to guess which category he would most likely fall into.

    To get here in 1954, they had to take a city ferry and pass a succession of godforsaken islets—Thompson and Spectacle, Grape and Bumpkin, Rainford and Long—that clung to the sea scalp with patches of sand, clumps of tenacious trees, and rocky ridges whitewashed. like bones. Except for the scheduled delivery of food on Thursdays and Saturdays, the ferry ran from time to time, and on such days the whaleboat was completely naked – only a bottom lined with metal sheet and two iron benches along the sides under the portholes. The benches were bolted to the bottom and, in addition, to massive black side posts, from which chained hand shackles hung like vermicelli.

    But these days the ferry wasn’t carrying the mentally ill, only Teddy and his new partner Chuck Aule, plus bags of mail and crates of medicine.

    For Teddy, the journey began hugging the toilet, and the engine chugged and puffed, and the oily smell of gasoline mixed in his nostrils with the smell of the August sea. Although nothing came out of Teddy but pitiful watery streams, the spasms continued to choke the throat, the stomach felt somewhere at the very bottom, and airy dust particles swirled and blinked in front of the nose.

    As a final chord, along with the oxygen bubble stuck in him, a piece of his chest seemed to fly out of him with the roar of an exploding bomb, after which he sat on the iron floor and, wiping his face with a handkerchief, thought that this was not the best way to start partnerships.

    He imagined Chuck, returning home, telling his wife if he had one, of course – in fact, they didn’t know anything about each other yet – recalling the first acquaintance with the legendary Teddy Daniels: “I told him, darling, I liked it so much that it turned inside out.

    Since that memorable childhood fishing, Teddy has never felt joy from being on the water, from this total absence of land that he dreamed of everywhere, from the impossibility of touching something solid without your hand dissolving into a fluid substance. You told yourself “everything is fine” – without these words, how to overcome water spaces? – but no matter how. Even at the height of the war, it was not combat landing that frightened him most of all, but the last meters from the watercraft to the shore, when boots got stuck in silt and incomprehensible creatures darted between their legs.

    And right now, he would rather be on deck, facing the challenge in the fresh breeze, than here, crouched in sweat.

    After making sure that the attack had passed, that his stomach was no longer swollen and his head was not spinning, he washed his face and hands and meticulously examined himself in the mirror over the sink, corroded by sea salt, so that only a tiny spot remained in the middle, in which the still quite a young man with a bureaucratic short haircut of a government official. His face bore the stamp of the war and subsequent years, and his eyes, which Dolores once called “dreary, like a dog’s,” betrayed his double propensity – to chase and violence.

    Why so much severity at my age, Teddy thought to himself.

    He adjusted the belt so that the holster was on its side. He took his hat from the cistern, put it on his head, and tilted it a little to one side. He tightened the knot in his tie. A colorful, bright tie, one of those that had gone out of fashion for a year, but he still wore it, as it was her gift: on his birthday, he was sitting in the living room when she came up behind and covered his eyes with this tie. She pressed her lips to his Adam’s apple. She placed a warm hand on his cheek. Her tongue smelled of orange. She straddled him and only then removed the tie, but Teddy kept his eyes closed. To smell her. Draw it in your imagination. Create and hold in your thoughts.

    He still hasn’t lost this ability to close his eyes and see her clearly in front of him. True, recently either the earlobe, or the eyelashes, or the contours of the hair began to become covered with white spots. So far, this did not interfere with her perception as a whole, but the fear was already creeping in that time wanted to steal it from him and little by little gnawed, corroded these pictures in his head.

    “I miss you,” he said aloud and went to the forecastle.

    Although it was warm and clear here, there was something dark in the water, touched by rust, something ominously gray, hinting at the lush thickets near the bottom.

    Chuck took a sip from his flask and turned his face with an inquiringly raised eyebrow at his approaching partner. Teddy shook his head, and Chuck tucked the flask back into his jacket pocket, pulled the hem of his raincoat up, and looked out to sea.

    – How are you? – he asked. – Faded a little.

    Teddy shrugged:

    – I’m fine.

    Are you sure?

    Teddy nodded:

    – Not used to it yet.

    They stood silently, waves swaying around them, and separate dark segments seemed smooth as velvet.

    “You know, there used to be a POW camp there,” Teddy said.

    – On an island? Chuck stated.

    Teddy nodded:

    – Civilian. A fort was erected there, barracks were built.

    – How do they use it now?

    Teddy shrugged.

    – I have no idea. There were forts on different islands. During the war, artillerymen fired guns at them. So not many survived.

    – And the hospital?

    – As far as I understand, it is located in the former barracks.

    – Like going back to school? Chuck said.

    – Better not. Teddy turned to face him, leaning on the railing. – Tell about yourself.

    Chuck smiled. He was stockier and stockier than his partner, about a hundred and seventy-five, curly black hair, olive skin, dainty little hands that somehow did not fit with his texture, as if he had borrowed them for a while, until the real ones were sent from the workshop. . He had an oblique scar on his left cheek, which he now poked with his index finger.

    “I always start with the scar,” he said. Everyone asks sooner or later.

    – Well?

    “This is not a war,” he continued. “My girlfriend says: “Say, war, and close the subject,” but …” He shrugged. – Actually, is playing at war. Boys. In the forest they fired at each other with slingshots. A friend shot me and missed, so I’m fine, right? Here he shook his head. – The stone hit the trunk, and a piece of bark that flew off slashed across the cheek. Hence the scar.

    – War, so.

    – Just about.

    – Did you transfer here from Oregon?

    – From Seattle. That week.

    Teddy waited for an explanation, but none came.

    – Have you been a bailiff for a long time?

    – Fourth year.

    – Then you know what a narrow circle it is.

    – Well, yes. You want to hear why I transferred. Chuck nodded, deciding something for himself. – And if I say that the rains got me?

    Teddy spread his palms in a conciliatory gesture:

    – As you say…

    – But you’re right, it’s a narrow circle. Everybody knows each other. So sooner or later – how do they say? – forty will bring on the tail.

    – Exactly.

    – You caught Breck, didn’t you?

    Teddy nodded.

    – How did you guess where to look for it? Fifty trackers went to Cleveland, and you alone went to Maine.

    – Once, as a boy, he rested there with his family. Remember what he did to his victims? This is usually done with stallions. I spoke to his aunt. She told me that as a child, he was truly happy once – on a farm where pedigree stallions were raised, not far from the cottage that his family rented in Maine. So I went there.

    “I put five bullets in him,” Chuck said, looking at the foam below.

    “And I would plant the same amount,” said Teddy. But no more was needed.

    Chuck nodded in understanding and spat over the railing.

    – My girlfriend is Japanese. That is, she was born here, but … She grew up in an internment camp. In those parts – Portland, Seattle, Tacoma – there is still tension. People don’t like that I’m with her.

    – That’s why you were transferred.

    Another nod, another spit. Chuck watched it fall into the churning foam.

    “They say it will be something,” he said.

    Teddy took his elbows off the railing and straightened up to his full height. His face was wet and there was salt on his lips. Surprisingly, the sea still got him, although he did not remember that the spray reached him. Looking for a pack of Chesterfields, he patted his raincoat pockets.

    Who is speaking? And about what?

    “Newspapers,” Chuck replied. “About a future storm. They promise something special. Grandiose. He waved his hand towards the sky, white as boiling foam under the bow. There, along the southern edge, lined up crimson lambs, spreading ink stains.

    Teddy sniffed the air.

    – You remember the war, Chuck?

    Seeing his partner’s smirk, Teddy thought: we quickly tuned in to the same wave and figured out how to tease each other.

    “Vaguely,” Chuck replied. – Mostly I remember construction debris. Heaps of garbage. Usually people talk about garbage disparagingly, but in my opinion, it takes its rightful place. It has its own, so to speak, aesthetic beauty. Because everything is in the eye of the beholder.

    – Exactly as written. Have you never been told this?

    – It happened. Leaning over the railing to stretch his back, Chuck gave the sea another smile.

    Teddy patted his trouser pockets, rummaged through the inside pockets of his jacket.

    – It used to be that combat missions depended on weather forecasts, remember?

    Chuck rubbed the stubble on his chin with the back of his hand.

    – How not to remember.

    – And how often did these predictions come true?

    Chuck furrowed his brows, signaling to his partner that he was seriously considering the matter. Then he smacked his lips and said:

    – About thirty percent, perhaps.

    – At best.

    Chuck nodded:

    – At best.

    – And now that we’re back in civilian life…

    – Just back, Chuck put in. – You could say they nested.

    Teddy couldn’t help but laugh. He liked this guy more and more. Waugh said.

    “Nested,” he agreed. “So why should you believe these predictions now more than you believed then?”

    The top of a triangle appeared above the horizon.

    “Actually, I’m not sure if my faith is measured in terms of more or less,” Chuck said. – Give me a cigarette?

    Teddy, who had been patting his pockets for the second time, suddenly froze when Chuck looked at him. A smirk was imprinted on his partner’s face, right under the scar.

    “When we boarded the ferry, the wad was in my pocket,” Teddy said.

    Chuck jerked his head towards the shore:

    – Official people. Clean up and you won’t notice.

    He shook a cigarette out of a pack of Laquis, handed it to a friend, and flicked a copper Zippo lighter. There was a smell of gasoline, which immediately clogged the salty sea air and penetrated Teddy’s throat. Chuck snapped the lid of his lighter shut, opened it again with a flick of the wrist, and lit a cigarette himself.

    Teddy exhaled, and the island triangle disappeared for a moment in cigarette smoke. And Chuck continued to philosophize:

    – In the Pacific theater of operations, when it depended on the weather report, they would send you to parachute or land you by sea, the stakes were higher, huh?

    – Yeah.

    – And here you can doubt without much risk whether it is one way or the other. That’s how it looks to me, boss.

    What had previously seemed like the top of a triangle gradually grew, the base was already drawn, and when the sea surface closed around the island of land, they began to distinguish colors as if someone had worked with a brush: the matte green of wild vegetation, the brownish strip of the shallows, ocher rocks on the north side. And when they got even closer, flat boxes of houses were found on a hill.

    “Sorry,” Chuck said.

    – What are you talking about?

    – About the price of progress. He put one foot on the towline and leaned on the railing next to Teddy; they both oversaw the island’s attempt at self-determination. “With the current advances in mental health – and there are advances, you can be sure, every day – a hospital like this will disappear. In twenty years, people will call this place barbaric. A by-product of the Victorian era. Disappeared, they will say, and thank God. Mergers and acquisitions, they say. Such is the spirit of the times. Roll up the bench. We will calm you down. Let’s bring it back to life. We are bailiffs of general jurisdiction. We are a new society in which there is no room for exceptions. Forget Elba.

    Although the houses were hidden behind the trees again, Teddy could make out the faint outline of the conical tower, and then the hard right angles of the old fort, he thought.

    – But must we put aside our past in order to secure our future? Chuck tossed his cigarette into the sea foam. – That is the question. Tell me, Teddy, what do you have to lose by sweeping the floor? That’s right: dust. Crumbs that attract ants. What about the earring she lost? Do you think it’s trash too?

    – Who is “she”? And where did “she” suddenly come from, Chuck?

    – In each story there is it is . Is not it so?

    The howl of the engine changed pitch, the deck jerked underfoot, and as the ferry began to enter from the western side of the island, the outlines of a fort on top of the southern cliff were outlined. There were no guns, but the gun turrets were clearly visible. The land stretched to the foot of the hills behind the fort, and somewhere, Teddy thought, the walls merged into the landscape, and behind the cliffs of the west coast was the Ashcliff Hospital.

    – Do you have a girlfriend, Teddy? Chuck asked. Or are you married?

    – Was. Teddy saw a picture of Dolores turning around on their honeymoon, her chin almost touching her bare shoulder, and you could see her shoulder muscles flexing. – She died.

    Chuck stepped back from the railing, his neck turning pink.

    – Oh my God.

    “Come on,” said Teddy.

    “No, no,” Chuck raised his hand in protest. “Well… I heard about it. I don’t understand how I could forget. It happened a couple of years ago, right?

    Teddy nodded.

    – Jesus, Teddy. I feel like an idiot. Truth. I’m sorry.

    A new picture before my eyes. Dolores from behind, humming something, she walks down the hall in his old army shirt, and then turns into the kitchen, and a familiar heaviness falls on him. Whatever he did now – even swim in this water – just not to talk about Dolores, about how she lived on this earth for thirty-one years and suddenly – poof! Disappeared as if it didn’t exist. In the morning, when he left for work, And in the evening, when he returned, he was gone.

    But it’s like Chuck’s scar – a story that needs to be told in order to move on, otherwise it will constantly arise between them. How? Where? Why?

    Dolores had passed away two years ago, but she always came alive in his dreams, and in the mornings he sometimes thought she was busy in the kitchen or drinking coffee on the porch of their apartment building in Buttonwood. The brain played cruel jokes with him, which is true, but Teddy got used to this logic long ago – after all, awakening is akin to being born. You climbed to the surface with no trail behind you, and then blinked and yawned for a long time, picking up your past bit by bit and putting the pieces in chronological order before bravely entering the present.

    Much more severe were the associations with his wife, which a seemingly illogical list of objects or properties could evoke in his head in an instant, like a flaring match. Guess what will be a provocation next time: a salt shaker on the table, a stranger walking on a busy street, a bottle of Coca-Cola, a trace of lipstick on a glass, a decorative pillow?

    But of all the triggers, none seemed less logical in terms of semantic associations, and did not hurt more, if we mean the effect of the impact, than water flowing from a tap, drumming from heaven, in the form of a puddle on the sidewalk or, like now, stretching for miles around.

    “There was a fire in our apartment building,” Teddy began. – I was at work. Four people died. Including her. Smoke, Chuck, not fire. So there was no pain before death. Fear? Maybe. But not pain. It is important.

    Chuck took another sip from the flask and offered it to his partner again. Teddy shook his head:

    – I quit. After the fire. It bothered her, you know. Soldiers and cops drink too much, she said. So…” He felt Chuck’s embarrassment, how it weighed on him, and added: “You learn to pull the strap with time. You have no choice. It’s like all that shit in the war, right?

    Chuck nodded with a blank face and a slight squint – lost in memory.

    “It just so happened,” Teddy breathed.

    “Yeah, well,” Chuck took a moment to answer. He was still red with embarrassment.

    The pier appeared, as if as a result of a light trick, from a distance such a strip of chewing gum, tiny, gray.

    After hugging the toilet, Teddy felt dehydrated, and also somewhat tired from talking. Although he had learned to pull the strap, but still, no, no, and he was exhausted. A dull pain settled behind the left eye, as if someone had put a spoon to the eyelid. While it was hard to tell if it was a side effect of dehydration, the first signs of a normal headache, or a hint of something worse – one of those migraines that had tormented him since his teenage years and sometimes reached such intensity that he stopped seeing with his left eye and the light turned into a hail of hot nails, and once (thank God, only once) for a day and a half he was partially paralyzed. These migraines, at least in his case, never came in the midst of tension or work, only later, in moments of rest, after the fall of shells, after the end of the chase. The peak was reached in the base camp or barracks, but in peacetime – in motels or in a car on the way home. As Teddy had long since learned, the trick was to keep up the momentum and stay focused. As long as you run, they will not overtake you.

    – Have you heard of this place? he asked Chuck.

    – Psychiatric hospital. That’s all I know.

    “For insane criminals,” Teddy clarified.

    “Otherwise we wouldn’t have been sent here,” Chuck said.

    That dry grin again.

    – Who knows, Chuck. You don’t come across as a 100% balanced person.

    – Maybe while we’re here, I’ll book a crib for the future. Let them hold.

    – Not a bad idea.

    The motor stalled briefly as the ferry turned to the right with the current, then rumbled again. The open sea was now ahead of them, and the ferry was stern to the dock.

    “They’re taking radical approaches, as far as I know,” Teddy said.

    – Red zone?

    – No. Just radical. There is a difference.

    – In recent years, it has been erased.

    “It happens,” Teddy agreed.

    – And this runaway patient?

    “I don’t know much about her,” Teddy said. “She slipped out last night. Her name is written in my notebook. The rest, I hope, they will tell us.

    Chuck looked around the vast expanse of water:

    – Where is she going to go? Did you swim home?

    Teddy shrugged his shoulders:

    – Surely their patients are under various illusions.

    Note on Deficiencies

    Deficiencies are listed in broad categories and are available online for 36 months. We encourage you to contact your region office for an explanation of any of the deficiencies, or for additional information about this facility’s compliance. Resolved “On Site” means that a violation was resolved during the Licensing Specialist’s inspection.



    Severity Levels


    High:

    These are the most serious violations of child care regulations and could pose a risk to the health and safety of children. If you would like an explanation of any of the deficiencies, or would like additional information about this facility’s compliance, please contact your regional office.


    Medium:

    These are significant violations of child care regulations and could negatively impact the health and safety of children. If you would like an explanation of any of the deficiencies, or would like additional information about this facility’s compliance, please contact your regional office.


    Low:

    These violations are the least likely to impact health and safety, but they still show that a facility is out of compliance with some child care regulations. If you would like an explanation of any of the deficiencies, or would like additional information about this facility’s compliance, please contact your regional office.



    Note on Frequency of Inspections


    Centers, Group Homes, and Licensed Family Homes::

    In 2014, legislation was passed that changed the number of unannounced visits from two per year to one per year in Child Care Centers, Group Child Care Homes, and Licensed Family Child Care Homes. As a result of this new law, you may see a decrease in the number of deficiencies listed on this website for these types of providers. Unannounced visits are still made in response to a complaint, and visits are scheduled with the facility during the re-licensing process, which occurs every two years.


    Registered Family Homes:

    Most family homes are registered, not licensed. In 2014, legislation was passed that allows Child Care Licensing to make one unannounced visit to these homes each year. As a result of this new law, you may see an increase in the number of deficiencies listed on this website for Registered Family Child Care Homes. Unannounced visits are still made in response to a complaint. Click here for an overview of each facility and the requirements they must meet according to state law.

    AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

    We’re so proud!

    Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
    and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

    SCHOOL-READY

    What Learning Looks Like

    Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

    Centennial Parkway KinderCare Programs

    Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

    Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
    centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
    you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
    classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
    ready to explore their world.

    Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

    Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
    because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
    place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
    help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

    Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

    This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
    of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
    discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
    classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
    get used to a more structured school setting.

    Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

    This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
    about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
    preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
    artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
    kindergarten!

    Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

    When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
    writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
    letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
    in our community.  Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
    math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

    Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

    You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
    at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
    back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
    create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
    will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

    Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

    Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

    In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
    develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
    rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
    and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

    Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

    KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
    Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
    instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
    science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
    way of learning the foundations of music.

    Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

    Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
    books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
    From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
    and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
    attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
    have the data to prove it. )

    Our Teachers

    We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
    KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
    we love our teachers and your child will, too.

    Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

    A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

    An Artist’s Heart

    “My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

    We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
    When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
    an amazing place to learn and grow.

    CHOOSE THE BEST CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT CLASSES

    Our child development center opened in 2015 and since then we have been
    we adhere to our mission – the development of multifaceted children’s potential.

    Each
    the child is talented, but he needs help to discover his talents, develop an interest in
    self-improvement and acquisition of new skills. Qualified staff at Home
    White Rabbit” perfectly cope with this task.

    Each of our students is an independent, but still developing personality. We respect
    aspirations of our wards, their interests and desires, we set the vector of their future development.
    In our children’s developmental classes, children immerse themselves in a creative environment and try
    yourself in a variety of ways. This helps to determine what the child likes the most and what he does best, and most importantly – allows you to form a bright,
    multifaceted personality.

    It is also very important that our children communicate with their peers, learn to interact,
    solve problems together, help each other. Thus, our development courses for children
    have a complex effect on children. On the one hand, this is a diversified development,
    the study of various types of creativity, the acquisition of new skills, and on the other hand, the best
    socialization, getting rid of psychological complexes, tightness, fears.

    Special mention goes to our experienced team. They find the key to any
    child – shy or active, thoughtful or energetic – and make classes even
    more interesting, instilling in children an interest in everything new. Children’s center in Moscow “Dom
    White Rabbit” is distinguished by an atmosphere of creativity and development, which contributes to greater
    effectiveness of our development activities.

    The problem of all-round development of a child has always been topical. Now this question
    is not so acute, since the choice of educational and developing institutions is truly huge –
    these are various clubs, and schools, and studios that grow like mushrooms after rain.

    However, it is much more convenient for any parent to receive a set of services in one place. Such
    approach greatly facilitates learning and accelerates the development of the child – a small person
    develops in one familiar place, among peers, and quickly merges into
    team. This is precisely the mission of our development center – a comprehensive
    child development.

    Why a children’s development center “House of the White Rabbit”?

    Since our child development center is a complete solution, this eliminates
    many problems with parents. Of course, it’s good when, after the birth of a baby, a mother can
    stay on maternity leave. In this case, the development of the child can be given enough
    time, especially if dad joins this process.

    But life is complicated, and there is not always enough time to give your child all-round development.
    Work, household chores, lack of qualifications do not allow giving the baby the maximum and
    develop it comprehensively. In this case, the real magic wand becomes
    a developing center for a child, under one roof which has everything you need.

    We accept children under the age of 2 and from 2 to 12 years old. Our children’s development center
    has everything necessary for your baby to develop creative and comprehensive
    personality. Up to 2 years old, kids in the center are engaged together with their mothers. Classes are held
    in the form of exciting games. It does not let little fidgets get bored, in addition to having fun on
    Each lesson they also acquire new skills.

    At the very beginning of our acquaintance, professional psychologists of the child development
    centers will conduct quick tests to offer your baby the most interesting
    topics for him. Being engaged in our center, the child will acquire not only generally useful
    knowledge, but will also receive serious preparation for kindergarten and school. After the child
    are sent to a kindergarten or school, a period of primary adaptation is inevitable. Children who have passed
    training in our development center, they pass it quickly and gently.

    atmosphere of incredible discoveries and creativity! Children’s educational activities of our

    Doctor in the House: Is your infant drooling excessively? She may be teething

    A lot of babies don’t really show major symptoms and you may suddenly discover a tooth has sprouted in the lower jaw when you are breastfeeding.
    (Source: Getty Images/Thinkstock)

    Odontiasis also known as teething in babies, occurs where the teeth cut through the gums in an infant. It is a fascinating process that most parents eagerly wait for. In most children, this process usually starts between four to seven months, but this is not a rule of thumb. It is merely an estimation, so don’t worry if
    your baby’s teeth came in early or even later. Each baby is different.

    Signs that your baby maybe teething

    A lot of babies don’t really show major symptoms and you may suddenly discover a tooth has sprouted in the lower jaw when you are breastfeeding. Others may show one or more of the following symptoms or even most of them:

    — swollen and painful gums,
    — being more fussy than usual
    — mild fever
    — wanting to chew on anything and everything
    — putting fingers or even the whole hand in the mouth
    — drooling excessively to the point that the baby develops a rash
    — tugging at the ear
    — unwilling to eat or feed

    As mentioned above, most children sprout teeth and have no real problem.  But if your baby develops high fever, vomiting and diarrhoea, cough and cold you need to speak to your paediatrician as these are not symptoms of teething.

    How to soothe your baby’s teething discomfort

    When your baby is uncomfortable there are few things that can be done to soothe your baby. What worked for your friends with their baby may not work for yours. You can try putting something cold in the baby’s mouth like a cold spoon or a wet, clean wash cloth, or even a cold pacifier. A solid cold teething toy may work but many paediatricians advise against this as it can hurt the baby’s gum. I don’t advise those fluid-filled teething gels as there is a chance that your baby may bite it and it may tear spilling all the liquid in
    her mouth. An older child, say around nine months old, can sip some cool water.

    Also read |Doctor in the House: Is your newborn crying buckets? Relax, it’s normal!

    Another option is to wash your hands and gently massage the gum or even let your little one gnaw at your finger, as long as they have not sprouted a tooth, then of course it could get very painful you.

    Avoid products that are not approved as treatment for teething. These can include:
    — liquid teething gel toys that can break
    — plastic toys that can break in the baby’s mouth
    — teethers that are frozen solid, which can hurt the baby

    Advertisement

    Instead use toys made of rubber and substances that are not harmful such as lead. I see many children wearing teething necklaces. These are dangerous, as it can form a tight noose around the baby’s neck. Also babies can choke on the beads if they put it in the mouth and the the necklace breaks.

    If you still want your baby to wear one of these, then its better if it goes around the waist or even around the ankle. As you cannot be around the baby all the time, it is better that it is not around the neck.

    Teething Medicines

    Advertisement

    There are many dental gels available in the market and other baby teething gels that promise to help with the pain. It really does not help as it gets washed away. It may even cause swallowing problems as it may numb the throat. Benzocaine is a local anaesthetic that is present in most of teething gels and is not recommended for children under two years. It can cause rare but very serious side effects. You can always use paracetamol as a pain killer. I don’t recommend ibuprofen as it should not be given ideally to children under six months.

    Order Of Tooth Eruption

    When and how teeth come in can be different for every baby, but in most cases, the front lower two teeth come in first, followed by the opposite top two teeth and then the ones on the side in the top row. This is followed by two on either side of the lower two teeth and the the molars. The teeth in front of the molars are next and then the back molars which are the last to come. By the time your baby is three years old, she would be having 20 teeth.

    Caring for your baby’s teeth

    Ideally, good oral hygiene should start before your baby develops her first tooth. You can gently clean her gums with a wet clean muslin cloth or gauze once a day. Be very gentle and make sure you don’t hurt their
    mouth. Even when your baby develops teeth, continue cleaning with just water
    and a cloth at least two times a day.

    Once your baby is a year old, use a brush with bristles and put a small amount of fluoride-free toothpaste to clean the teeth. Your paediatrician will monitor your child’s teeth and check that there are no caries and if there is, they will refer you to a dentist. Till three years of age, your paediatrician will keep an eye on your baby’s teeth. Thereafter your child’s teeth will need to be looked after by a paediatric dentist!

    Tears before bedtime? Silent reflux in babies

    Reflux is often bandied about in mothers groups and parent circles when a baby seems like they’re in discomfort, or are spilling up loads and loads of milk. But, sometimes, reflux can go completely undetected.

    Here’s what to look out for if you suspect your baby is suffering from silent reflux, and the steps you can take to manage it.

    What is reflux versus silent reflux?

    In basic terms, reflux is when acid comes up from your little one’s stomach and burns their throat. You may know that feeling yourself after you’ve eaten too fast or had a lot of fatty food. Ouch!

    As adults this is commonly known as ‘heartburn’ and although the reasons for heartburn in an adult can be quite different to infant reflux, the results are the same – that horrid burning sensation of acid coming up your oesophagus and even into your mouth.

    And this pain is why a bubba with reflux cries. A lot.

    Check out our blog that talks about what reflux is, and the various degrees and different types of reflux. This will help you understand what may be happening to your wee one’s digestive system to cause such discomfort.  

    For now though, we want to touch specifically on silent reflux (also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux or LPR), as this can be harder to spot than general reflux, and may be affecting your baby’s ability to sleep (amongst other things).

    Yes, I want more sleep!

    What’s so silent about silent reflux?

    In the case of silent reflux, babies swallow the milk that comes up their oesophagus (food pipe) instead of spilling or spitting up.

    Because you don’t see your little one actively spewing up, the symptoms aren’t always obvious, hence the terminology ‘silent’.

    Not knowing what’s causing your little one pain can be extremely heart wrenching. You may second guess your every move as a parent or caregiver, and wonder when oh when you will have a “normal”, more settled baby, and not feel at your wits end.  

    Symptoms of silent reflux

    Crying (and crying and crying and crying…)

    Tears, perhaps better described as screams, are your baby’s way of telling you they’re in discomfort, however a lot of babies with reflux won’t cry, instead they may be difficult to settle or get to sleep.

    But first thing’s first. Just because your baby is crying a lot doesn’t mean they have silent reflux.

    There may be a number of underlying issues causing them tears. Make sure to rule out everything on our list that may cause your baby to cry, before suspecting silent reflux.

    Problems feeding

    Whether bubs is on the boob or bottle, there will likely be some feeding issues for an infant with silent reflux.

    While sucking, they may gag (dry reach) and cough. They may seem “fussy” and pull off the breast or bottle, and in extreme cases refuse to feed much at all.

    Or some reflux babies will “snack” a lot, either because feeding hurts and they keep stopping, or because more milk going down and pushing acid back downwards is soothing. They may also have problems swallowing or burping.

    Often babies with severe silent reflux will be seen to arch their back while feeding or just afterward.

    So, will taking a bottle help?

    There seems to be a misconception bandied about that reflux occurs more in breastfed babies, but changing from breast to formula feeding will usually not solve the problem. It’s the act of having liquid in their tummies that matters.

    Sleeping issues

    Babies suffering from silent reflux will probably not be great sleepers. They’ll often take ages to settle to sleep, and once asleep, may wake up after a small window of a few minutes, often screaming rather suddenly.

    You may find that your baby only settles when lying upright, either on you or in a baby carrier. This is because being upright offers the advantage of gravity, so acid and milk can’t go upwards.  

    If your baby is not settling, the sleep deprivation kicks in – for both your baby and you. This, and seeing your baby in discomfort can leave you at your wits end!

    That said, there are some babies with reflux who will sleep well during the day and night. It’s possible they’re simply exhausted or they may not ‘reflux’ too much overnight.

    Other reflux signs

    As well as the above, a baby with silent reflux may also suffer from one or more of the following:

    • Coughing, but without other sickness symptoms (this is their natural reaction to acid hitting the back of their throat)
    • Being really noisy and making strange sounds like gagging, grunting and having a hoarse voice
    • It may seem they are more “mucusy” than other babies
    • They may drool a lot more (some parents will confuse this with teething)
    • They may pick up frequent colds and ear infections
    • Have bad breath.
    • Bubbles around their mouth
    • Hiccuping frequently

    For babies with severe silent reflux (very rare), things can get really bad. Look out for:

    • Constipation and /or diarrhoea
    • Discolouration of poop
    • Not thriving (very little weight gain or even loss of weight)
    • Terrible congestion, and in extreme cases, difficulties breathing and even apnea (stopping breathing).

    Remember the issues we’ve listed here are not always going to show up on a child suffering from silent reflux. Every child presents differently and will react differently to their levels of discomfort.

    If you are suspicious silent reflux is playing havoc, follow your gut (excuse the pun) and see your GP or health professional right away. 

    Most doctors agree that a mother’s intuition should always be listened to!

    Diagnosis of reflux

    Diagnosis is often done by a GP or specialist based on symptoms explained by the parents. If you think your baby has silent reflux it’s a good idea to write down as many of the signs listed above that your baby may have.

    Babies who have reflux are often very happy when distracted and people, including doctors, may not believe that they are in much pain.

    It’s a great idea to take a video of when they are having an episode to take along for your appointment.

    There are a few diagnostic tests that can be done: Barium swallow series, PH probe and Upper GI Endoscopy. 

    Is it possible my baby is just tired?

    Absolutely. In fact, it’s more likely that this is the problem, statistically speaking.

    If a baby is crying loads and is generally irritable, but doesn’t seem to suffer from any of the other silent reflux symptoms we’ve mentioned, it’s essential to consider that your baby could actually be over or undertired, or overstimulated.

    Too often babies end up being put on reflux medication unnecessarily, when all they really needed was for their napping and feeding to be more structured according to their age.

    The only way to truly rule out overtiredness, under tiredness and overstimulation is to have your baby sleeping as well as they possibly can for their age. Our age-specific Sleep Programs can give you a helping hand here.

    Then, if your baby is still not sleeping after trying our Sleep Programs, you may consider silent reflux and perhaps try some of the tips in this post.
    If things still don’t improve, chat to your GP or specialist as soon as possible.

    Day to day management of silent reflux

    If you suspect silent reflux and have ruled out under / overtiredness, give some of these ideas a try

    Keep baby upright during the day

    Keep your baby as upright as possible when they’re awake, which makes sense given that you don’t want liquid to come up easily.

    Be sensitive to their tummies

    By this, we mean keeping as little pressure on their little stomachs as possible as this will bring up more acid.

    If tummy time is uncomfortable, don’t push it. Although this position is key for their early development, it’s not going to be effective if it really hurts them.
    Keep this time short if they start crying, then sit them upright, or put a cushion (a feeding cushion is good) under their torso.

    Using tight baby carriers can also cause discomfort to your little one if they have silent reflux. Be gentle when winding too.

    Feeding tips

    • Breastfeed / bottle feed in a more upright position, i.e. baby’s legs down as opposed to across your body
    • If you produce a lot of milk and it seems to be gushing out, so your baby is guzzling, sit back so the flow is slower. If you’re bottle feeding, try a slow-flow bottle/teat.
    • After feeding keep your baby upright for 30 minutes – usually over your shoulder. Avoid putting your baby in a car seat immediately after feeding, the bumping around in a laid back position will not help
    • Try giving your baby smaller feeds more often (unless the feeds are already small and frequent, which may be the case)
    • Burp/wind during each feeding, ideally when they pause, rather than pulling them off. Babies with reflux will often have trouble burping and may need a lot more time to get there.

    Breastfeeding or donor breast milk – your diet

    As breastfeeding mummas know, what you eat is passed through your milk. Altering a mother’s food intake can sometimes help with reflux.

    This isn’t easy, though, because it’s hard to know exactly what foods are triggering the reflux. There are so many factors at play.

    But you may start to notice a pattern that certain foods are causing discomfort in your baby, such as coffee, chocolate and citrus fruits, these foods may be causing your babies reflux to be worse.

    Less commonly if your baby has reflux caused by an intolerance rather than the most common type of reflux, which is caused by an immature valve, the most common culprits are dairy, soy and wheat.

    Do be careful though – as a breastfeeding mother you require lots of nutrients, so we’d recommend talking to your doctor before making any dietary changes.   

    Pacifiers

    Pacifiers (or ‘dummies’) can help soothe the baby by encouraging them to swallow saliva which may be enough to wash the acid down and help with the pain.

    Settling a baby to sleep with silent reflux

    So, you and your doctor have determined that silent reflux is a problem for your baby. But how do you get them settling to sleep better?

    Firstly, make sure you hold your baby upright at least 30 minutes before you attempt to lie them down.

    Sleep coaching a baby with reflux can definitely be a challenge. It’s a fine balance of helping your baby feel comfortable and alleviate his pain, while also trying to avoid any negative sleep associations that may mess with his ability to sleep later on.

    We strongly recommend that you don’t launch into a “cry it out” style form of sleep training when your baby or child has diagnosed silent reflux.

    We believe that a more gentle approach is required. Babies actually thrive on routine and for babies with silent reflux or other medical conditions, getting their sleep on track will help you identify if the reflux returns or flares up.

    Our Programs take into consideration babies with reflux, and can offer tips to help get your little one self settling faster, with ease.

    Note: Do not incline the crib/cot 

    Many health care professionals still recommend elevating a crib ever so slightly – for example, by putting a small book under the front wheels, or a small towel under the hard mattress.

    But the American Academy of Pediatrics published a report in 2016, concluding that elevating the head of the crib is not effective in reducing reflux and instead increases the chance of SIDs. (Report states, “It may result in the infant sliding to the foot of the crib into a position that may compromise respiration and therefore is not recommended”).

    Medical treatment of silent reflux

    Medications

    Infant Gaviscon works as an antacid to neutralise stomach acids and a thickener. It’s often recommended to breast-fed infants in place of thickened formula (see your doctor first).

    Medication such as omeprazole (often packaged under the brand name ‘Losec’) or Ranitidine may be considered by your doctor, for the small number of babies that have silent reflux.

    These meds work to neutralise the acid in the tummy, so when liquid comes up the oesophagus it doesn’t burn. They generally provide instant relief for mild reflux. For severe reflux your doctor may try other medications.

    Note the dosage depends on weight, the baby’s age, and severity of symptoms, so don’t go giving your baby these drugs if you happen to have these common drugs in the cupboard. In general, they’re only recommended for babies with poor weight gain or significant distress from reflux.

    If prescribed medications don’t work, your doctor may consider getting you tested for allergies, or refer you to a gastro specialist to investigate things “internally” with more invasive studies as mentioned above.

    Definitely contact your GP if your baby is not feeding, is losing weight, is more unsettled than normal or you suspect they have reflux.

    Milk thickeners

    Your doctor may also recommend thickening agents to mix with formula, which can often really help reflux.

    Breathing issues

    If reflux is affecting your baby’s respiration, your doctor may give you a sleep apnea monitor. If you see any breathing issues you must see your doctor urgently.  

    Natural remedies for silent reflux

    Some mothers find the following more alternative approaches can help relieve silent reflux symptoms:

    • Baby massage therapy (you can learn to do this yourself)
    • Osteopath cranial sacral treatments
    • Probiotics (make sure you have the correct strains of bacteria)
    • Gripe Water, Colic Calm, or other homeopathic remedies.

    Introducing solids to a baby with silent reflux

    It would be fabulous to be able to give you a definitive list of foods that are well tolerated by reflux babies, but of course, when it comes to reflux, every baby is just too different.

    Some health professionals recommend using baby rice cereal to thicken formula or expressed breastmilk of a baby with reflux before six months, to help keep the milk down. We would recommend only doing this under the advice of your doctor.

    Although fruits are part of a normal “starting-solids” regime, you may like to tread lightly and only attempt very small amounts of new foods.

    Acidic fruit like green apples or tomato (yes, this is a fruit!) and bananas may cause a flare up as well.

    When will my baby grow out of silent reflux?

    There’s no specific rule for when silent reflux will disappear, but specialists agree that it’s generally an issue for the first few months only, as a baby’s sphincter muscle is able to start blocking liquid coming up the oesophagus.

    Most parents notice that signs of reflux are gone when their babies are able to sit up by themselves or walk, or when they start to eat solids.

    What if my child is not growing out of silent reflux?

    If your older baby or toddler still shows symptoms of silent reflux, despite eating solids and their digestive system maturing, they may have ongoing silent reflux issues that should be addressed medically.

    This is very rare, but shouldn’t be ruled out. Here are some common signs that toddlers or older kids may still be suffering:

    • Speech development: They stop babbling or talking, perhaps in response to pain, or have a hoarse voice
    • They have teeth that show signs of erosion
    • Eating issues: be fussy over certain foods and textures
    • Endless ear infections
    • They may remain clingy and cranky (behavioural result from being in constant discomfort).

    Life after silent reflux

    Unfortunately, some babies who have suffered from silent reflux and recovered (either through treatment or age), could still continue to wake frequently, catnap, and need to be fully assisted to sleep.

    This is often the result of never having had a chance to learn to sleep that well.

    Simple Ways To Treat Baby Drool Rash At Home

    If your baby is entering the teething stage, there’s a good chance a case of drool rash could be in their future. Baby drool rash occurs when a little one’s drool irritates their skin and leads to a red, bumpy rash developing on their chin, neck, or even their chest. While drool rash is most common between the ages of three and six months, according to Pampers, it can occur at any point after baby’s saliva glands kick in (usually between two to three months), whether they’re cutting new teeth or not. Since no one likes to see their little one uncomfortable, the appearance of a drool rash may leave you feeling worried and nervous on your baby’s behalf. But thankfully, this is one infant ailment that’s easy to treat and prevent.

    First and foremost, always try to keep baby’s skin as dry as possible. Drool rash develops when a baby’s skin stays damp for too long, so you should keep a soft burping cloth nearby to gently clean up any saliva on their chin, around their mouth, and on their neck. Does your baby tend to drool more during meal times? Make sure they’re wearing a bib to prevent the saliva from soaking into their clothes, which could lead to a rash on their chest as well.

    Keeping baby’s skin dry is the key to keeping this particular rash at bay. However, no matter how careful you are to wipe up all of those cute tiny baby bubbles, a drool rash may still occur. The truth is babies drool a lot, and as a result, drool rash is quite common. So what should you do if you notice a breakout of red bumps on your child’s face, neck, or chest? Read on to find out how to handle drool rash effectively, when to visit your pediatrician, and how to tell the difference between a drool rash and eczema (hint: the last one is a trick question).

    Can you treat drool rash at home?

    Drool rash can be uncomfortable for baby, but it usually only lasts about a week. During this time, there are several things you can do to make your infant more comfortable. Experts recommend gently cleaning the affected area with a warm cloth twice a day. Avoid rubbing the rash since that can cause further irritation. Instead, try pat drying the area.

    Next, apply a soothing ointment like petroleum jelly to baby’s skin to form a barrier between the skin and saliva. Petroleum jelly has the added benefit of reducing your little one’s discomfort. Meanwhile, continue to keep your baby’s face as dry as possible by frequently cleaning it — just avoid putting lotion on the rash, as that would cause additional irritation. Finally, at bath time, make sure to use an unscented baby soap that’s as mild as possible.

    How can I prevent a drool rash?

    Babies drool… a lot. There’s no way to keep their mouths dry, but you can keep spit off of their necks and chest. Keep a burp cloth or bib on your baby. This will absorb the drool and give you something to wipe their face with before the saliva leaks past their chins.

    If drool makes its way onto your child’s neck and chest, dab the spit away instead of wiping it to avoid chafing the skin.

    Is drool rash worth a visit to the pediatrician?

    Most of the time, drool rash will clear up with at-home treatment after about a week, but if the rash persists or begins to look crusty, ooze, or blister, it’s time for a trip to the doctor. Additionally, if baby seems to be in pain or is itching excessively, these are further signs their drool rash may need extra treatment than what you can provide at home. Ultimately, you know your baby best, and if they don’t seem to be themselves or you’re not seeing any improvement after a few days, it won’t hurt to book an appointment with the pediatrician.

    If you do end up taking your baby in for drool rash, their pediatrician will likely prescribe an ointment to apply to baby’s skin. These prescription-strength ointments will speed up the healing process and help relieve the irritation, making your little one more comfortable in the process.

    Is it drool rash or eczema?

    When you see those little red bumps on baby’s skin, you may wonder if you’re dealing with a case of drool rash or eczema. After all, eczema also presents as itchy, red, inflamed skin. However, what you may not know is eczema is actually a broad term encompassing several skin conditions — including drool rash.

    There are two types of eczema: contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is caused by the skin encountering an irritant, which in this case would be drool. Meanwhile, atopic dermatitis usually occurs due to a food allergy, hay fever, or another condition. Ultimately, atopic dermatitis tends to occur due to an overreaction of a baby’s immune system, while contact dermatitis results from an external irritant like drool or laundry detergent. Another way to tell the difference between drool rash and eczema is by taking note of where the rash appears. Eczema is most likely to present on a baby’s scalp, cheeks, torso, arms, or legs, whereas a simple drool rash most commonly forms around the mouth, chin, neck, or chest.

    If your baby has a drool rash, don’t panic. This common ailment is usually nothing to worry about and, after about a week of at-home care, your little one’s irritation should subside. If it persists, or you suspect eczema is to blame, a trip to the pediatrician is in order.

    Drool Rash vs Hand Foot Mouth

    Hand, foot and mouth disease is an infection that causes red blisters in a baby’s diaper area, on their feet, hands, and in their mouth and throat. It’s also contagious and spreads through contact with infected individuals. And there is no cure for HFM. Drool rash on the other hand is literally caused by baby’s drooling. HFM is a bit more serious and can be treated with a topical cream and clears up in about seven to 10 days.

    Newborn baby: first days and weeks

    A newborn baby is completely different from the plump, ruddy and smiling children from magazine covers. He looks and behaves completely different from two-three-month-old babies, so often young
    parents are confused: is this wrinkled red man really their child? Yes, that’s what newborn babies look like. But so many important things happen in the first month of a baby’s life
    that very soon mom and dad will not recognize their baby.

    First day

    A newly born baby is a bit like an alien: it has a disproportionately large head and a small body. His arms and legs
    curved at an angle uncharacteristic for humans. It seems that even picking up such a baby is difficult – he is so small and defenseless. Which of the family looks like a newborn, too, yet to say
    hard – his face is still swollen: swollen eyelids hide disproportionately huge slits of the eyes, so that on the first day of life, if he looks like anyone, it’s like a chipmunk. The baby’s nose is flattened
    the chin is slightly depressed, in general, there may be some asymmetry in the face. This happens because the baby walked head first and the face naturally swells from this. During the first
    day of life, the tumor gradually subsides, the facial bones fall into place, facial features change for the better. Sometimes there are pinkish-reddish spots on the forehead, bridge of the nose or the back of the head
    with a bluish tinge, slightly raised above the surface of the skin. They are very large, especially the occipital ones. When the child cries or pushes, these spots appear brighter. All this is frightening
    young mothers, and this is understandable: some red spots, and even on the face! But this is a completely typical phenomenon for a newly born baby, and these spots are called telangiectasia – persistent
    expansion of the superficial vessels of the skin and mucous membranes. They are quite harmless and disappear on their own during the first or second months of life. By the way, people call them “spots
    stork”: if you imagine that the stork was holding the head of a child, then the marks from the beak will just be located on the bridge of the nose and the back of the head.

    A newborn looks and behaves completely different from two-three-month-old babies, so young parents are often confused: is this wrinkled red man really their child?

    From the 9-11th day, the child already distinguishes sounds, reacting with crying to sharp, loud ones, but does not yet listen to them. He begins to listen between the 3rd and 5th weeks of life

    Already on the first day of life, a healthy newborn registers more than 170, and on the 10th day of life – more than 550 individual and general movements per minute! Of course, we are talking about immature, uncoordinated movements

    The head of a newborn is also not as smooth and round as in advertising pictures, it can generally be of very different shapes – elongated, flattened or rounded. So mother nature came up with –
    so that the head does not suffer from strong pressure during childbirth, the bones of the skull of the child are not tightly connected, and when it passes through the birth canal, they can move (well, so that nothing unnecessary and
    she wasn’t hurt). If you touch the baby’s head, you can even clearly distinguish the protrusions formed as a result of the partial superposition of the skull bones when squeezed during
    childbirth. But in just a few days, the head of a healthy child takes on a rounded shape.

    If you touch the top of the baby’s head, you can find some soft spot and feel how it pulsates under your hand. “What is it? parents think. – Hole in the head? No, it’s the so-called
    fontanel, just that area in the skull where the bones are not tightly connected and under them there is still a connecting membrane. The second soft spot is located on the parietal region of the head, closer to it.
    back. These areas can be touched and washed without fear, nothing will happen to the child’s head. As the bones of the skull grow, the fontanelle decreases, and by the year there will already be real hard bone tissue in its place.

    The skin of the baby immediately after birth is covered with a whitish sticky substance. This is the so-called primordial lubricant, which protects the baby’s skin during fetal life from the effects of amniotic fluid and facilitates
    him passing through the birth canal during childbirth. Her mother usually does not see her whole, because the lubricant is immediately removed even in the delivery room. But some of its remnants may be in the folds of the skin, behind the ears and
    in the vulva in girls. So it will have to be removed at home on its own, with a cotton pad (tampon) moistened with any baby oil. Otherwise, in the folds, the lubricant will rush in it
    microorganisms will begin to multiply. Some children are born a little shaggy – delicate hairs grow on their back, shoulders, cheeks and some other parts of the body, which
    called lanugo. Sometimes such a cover looks thick, like wool, and it seems that the child will remain shaggy for life. No, lanugo will not disappear quickly, but almost by three months of it
    will not. In general, the skin of newborns on the first day looks different. Immediately after birth, it is bluish, and after a few hours it becomes bright red. In large babies, the skin may be smooth, well-filled, thick.
    In smaller children, it is slightly wrinkled. There are babies with very thin skin, blood vessels even shine through it. Since the arms and legs are the end points of blood delivery,
    in the first few hours or days they will be cold and bluish. As for the amount of hair, it can be different: from complete absence to luxurious hair.

    In general, if you look at the average newborn, he came to us from another planet, and that’s all: the head is large and strangely shaped, the body is thin and small, the arms and legs are also thin. Myself
    red, and sometimes even blue. The skin is thin and translucent. The face is also somehow a little like a human, and some children are also furry! There is something to surprise young parents. But this is only the first
    day, you have to wait a little, and soon the child will change.

    First week

    In the first week, the baby will begin to change especially strongly – he will become much prettier: the swelling of the face will subside, the eyes will open wider, the shape of the head will become more familiar to the eyes. But here are nice roundness and cute
    there will be no baby folds yet. And in general, at this time, an already thin newborn will lose weight even more. This “weight loss” is a natural process, the so-called
    physiological weight loss. Weight decreases because immediately after birth, the baby loses part of the water through the skin, its umbilical cord dries out, meconium (the first feces) and urine are excreted, and also because
    the baby still receives a small amount of milk from the mother. Maximum weight loss usually occurs by the third to fifth day and is normally no more than 6–8% of birth weight. In it
    time, mom and baby are usually discharged from the hospital, but there is no need to worry. By the seventh or tenth day of life, a healthy baby will restore its previous parameters.

    By the way, in the first week (usually in the first days) the umbilical cord will fall off and an umbilical wound will remain in its place. For someone, it will heal very quickly – in 8-10 days, but it can heal longer (up to three weeks).

    The second thing that will change in the baby in the first seven days is the condition of his skin. The red color of the skin (doctors call it “erythema simple”) is brightest on the second day after birth, completely
    disappears at the end of the first week of life. And the skin will become familiar to us pale pink color. Only parents will calm down a bit about the skin, as new changes await them: on the third or fifth day of life, the skin
    may begin to peel off, especially on the abdomen and chest. What’s this? Is the child missing something? No, this is a normal phenomenon: this is how the skin adapts to a new life (not water, but air). This lasts
    peeling for about a week and goes away on its own, but the peeling sites can be lubricated with a moisturizing baby cream or cosmetic milk. But that’s not all that can happen to the skin: not often, but it happens that
    in children in the first week of life, the so-called toxic erythema appears – a spotted rash with grayish-yellow seals in the center. The rash is most often
    on the extensor surfaces of the arms and legs around the joints, on the chest. “Chickenpox, rubella, some contagious disease?” moms and dads think. No, also adaptation of the skin to a new life.
    The well-being of the babies is not disturbed, the body temperature is normal. Within one to three days, new rashes may appear, after two or three days the rash itself disappears.

    In addition, on the second or third day of life in 60-70% of children, the skin turns yellow, the maximum yellowness occurs on the third or fourth day, and by the end of the first week it disappears. This is how the physiological
    Newborn jaundice is a condition in which the amount of bile pigment, bilirubin, increases in the baby’s body. Someone will have jaundice like
    a light and pleasant tan (parents may not notice it), and for someone the baby will become specifically yellow. This is completely normal for a healthy child. Very fast bilirubin level
    returns to normal and the color of the skin becomes normal again. But if the jaundice does not disappear or the child is very yellow, you need to see a doctor.

    In the first one or two days, all newborns pass the first-born stool (meconium) – a thick, viscous mass of dark green color. On the third or fourth day of life, a transitional stool appears –
    lumps, mucus, areas of dark green color alternate with greenish and yellow. No, this is not an intestinal disorder, just the gastrointestinal tract is tuned (transfers) to its work. By the end of the first week of life, stool
    for most, it becomes like a yellow gruel, so it will continue to be.

    An infrequent occurrence, but it must also be said about it. In some children, on the third or fourth day of life, the mammary glands engorge (both girls and boys). They increase to the maximum by the seventh or eighth day, of which even
    liquid discharge may appear. Some girls sometimes have very little bleeding from the vagina during the first day. This is the so-called hormonal crisis –
    it occurs due to the action of maternal hormones – estrogens (they penetrate during childbirth through the placenta). At the peak of estrogen action, the signs of a hormonal crisis are maximum, then
    hormones are excreted from the body and the symptoms gradually disappear. Therefore, you don’t need to apply a cabbage leaf to your chest, make compresses with camphor or something else: everything will go away by itself.

    First month

    After the first week of life, the baby will begin to gain weight intensively. He must add at least 600 g in the first month, but some heroes add 1000 g each. It is clear that with weight gain, the appearance of the newborn will be
    change for the better: the child himself will become noticeably rounder, the skin will still be dry at first, but gradually it will become smoother and denser. But still, the baby will still be far from the grown baby.
    Let’s start with the fact that the entire first month of life, the child mainly sleeps and eats, but he will not be awake for very long. At this time, the child also does not have any meaningful actions and movements. So that
    put aside rattles and other entertainment, they are not needed yet.

    In general, the baby’s movements can scare moms and dads a little. For example, parents will notice that the baby’s arms and legs are tense all the time. It looks like this: the handles are bent at all joints, brought to
    torso and pressed against the chest, the hands are clenched into fists. The baby’s legs are also bent at the joints and abducted at the hips. This is hypertonicity – increased tone of the flexor muscles, but this is completely normal.
    a phenomenon that all babies have up to a certain age. By 3.5–4 months, the physiological hypertonicity will weaken, the movements will become more coordinated, the hand will open. It will also be seen that the newborn
    constantly making some movements, and very chaotic. This is also the norm, because the child’s nervous system is still immature, which is why he cannot make coordinated movements. Usually chaotic twitches
    disappear in the second month of life.

    What about sight and hearing? The color of the eyes in children is almost always blue, because there is no melanin in the iris – the body’s natural pigment. By six months, melanin begins to be produced, and the baby has a permanent color.
    eye. Some children, especially those with dark skin, have light brown eyes from birth. The vision of the newborn is still defective. There is no clarity, the child is not able to concentrate
    eye, sometimes you can notice the twitching of the eyeballs from side to side (nystagmus). Therefore, there is no point in a mobile (carousel) above the crib, it will be needed later – from the 2nd month. How
    Another baby can surprise mom, so it’s strabismus. Doctors explain it by the weakness of the abductor muscle of the eye, it is good that by 6 months the strabismus disappears on its own. All these are normal phenomena for a newborn, which arise due to
    immaturity of his organs. Interestingly, the tears in the crumbs appear from the 3-4th week of life.

    Many young parents, as soon as they bring their child from the maternity hospital, walk around the apartment on tiptoe, afraid to disturb the newborn. In fact, in the first few days after birth, the child still does not hear very well.
    Around the middle of the 2nd week of life, he will begin to react to a loud sharp sound – he will flinch or blink. And only by the 3rd week the baby attaches much more importance to the noise of the external environment.

    But what pleases the parents of their child is a smile – it appears in the first two or three weeks of life. A smile means that the baby is happy and wants to communicate. Somewhere at the same time, lying on
    stomach, the baby will begin to turn his head to the side, then he will try to slightly raise it. All these are the first and very important achievements of the baby.

    These are just a few of the main changes that happen to a baby in the first month of life. Other parents are invisible and not so important, the doctor will pay attention to them. Moreover, almost immediately the baby will become
    for mom and dad the very best and most important person in the world. And it will not be so important when he starts to look like an advertising baby, the main thing is that he looks like his family!

    Memo for parents

    1. A newly born baby is a bit like an alien: it has a disproportionately large head and a small body. Its arms and legs are curved at an angle uncharacteristic for humans.
    2. A newborn’s head can be of many different shapes, because his bones are mobile and shift when he passes through the birth canal.
    3. In the first week, the baby will begin to change especially strongly – he will become much prettier: the swelling of the face will subside, the eyes will open wider, the shape of the head will become more familiar to the eyes
    4. Throughout the first month of life, the child mainly sleeps and eats, but he will be awake for a very short time. The child also does not yet have any meaningful actions and movements at this time

    What should I do if my child chokes?

    What to do if the baby is choking? Everyone needs to know this. And if this happened, it is dangerous to waste time, every second counts here. But let’s start with what you don’t need to do.

    Useful and useless measures

    The potential danger for the baby is often formed by his mother and father. Teeth are cut, and the baby strives to gnaw on all the objects that it can reach. What is the point of giving foreign objects to gnaw – it is much more logical to give the baby something edible, useful. For example, a piece of banana, apple or cucumber. This is the point of view of some parents. The child is under supervision – what can threaten him? But trouble can happen in the blink of an eye.

    If at least the top of a milk tooth has hatched in a baby, he will certainly bite off at least a small crumb from the fruit. He was delighted, frightened, inhaled sharply – and now the fool choked on food.

    Slightly older babies can be harmed by small fragments of toys – because they need to taste everything. Yes, and during a normal meal, a child can form and make a voice, laugh, whimper – and choke. A typical situation is when an ordinary candy becomes the cause of such an incident.

    – In other words, in no case do not neglect the age restrictions indicated on the toys;

    – the baby should not touch things from which a small part or detail can be separated;

    – as early as possible wean him to give voice during meals;

    – do not let the baby play or fall asleep with candy in his mouth.

    Despite any preventive measures, one should never relax and one must constantly be vigilant. If the baby choked and it became difficult for him to breathe, you can’t hesitate, we begin a set of urgent measures.

    What to do if a baby under one year of age chokes:

    – you should raise the handles up – thereby expanding the airways a little, it will become easier for the child to inhale and exhale;

    – if breathing is not restored, we put the baby face in the palm, lifting his ass a little higher than his head. Slightly patting on the back, successively directing these claps from the pelvic region to the back of the head. Then the child needs to be turned over, and the butt is still above the level of his head, and lightly press on the sternum 4-6 times, trying to force the fluid out of the lungs. These techniques should be repeated until free breathing is fully restored.

    – if the reason that the baby choked was food, you should gently lift him up, holding his legs or stimulate the child to vomit by pressing a finger on the root section of his tongue.

    If a foreign object is in the airways, preventing the child from crying and raising a voice, if he waves his arms and pulls in his tummy, immediately call the emergency medical service, before she arrives, you need to do this:

    – When the liquid became the cause, the baby has a cough and shortness of breath, take the child with his back to you, hugging and pressing on the tummy near the stomach, tilting the baby, pat him on the back.

    – If this does not work, put the baby on the back with his head below the body. Place your middle and index fingers under the baby’s breastbone and apply pressure five times. Make sure your chest expands after each press.

    – If the cause of the accident was a small solid object (bead, part from the designer), lay the child on his tummy over your arm, placing his head below the torso. With the palm of your other hand, lightly tap on the back. You can also lift the child by the legs to also pat on the back.

    – Combine the above techniques, controlling whether the foreign object came out. If you did everything right and this object appeared in your mouth, carefully remove it from there.

    – If these techniques do not give the desired result, artificial respiration should be started. For babies up to 8 months of age, it is done immediately both in the nose and in the mouth. Here you do not need to tilt your head back, just slightly raise the child’s chin.

    Exhale 3-5 times and make sure the baby’s chest expands. If this happens, then the baby can breathe. Take a few more breaths to help the child return to a normal breathing rhythm.

    All movements must be done in no way abruptly, without effort. Overdone, you can injure the baby and harm him even more.

    What NOT to do when the baby is choking

    If this happens, then the most important thing is not to lose your cool and determine whether you need to call emergency medical care. Mom’s commotion will frighten the child much more.

    For example, choking, the baby retains the ability to breathe in and out. He cries, screams. In this case, you do not need to tap him on the back: let him clear his throat, after which the child needs to be reassured.

    If a foreign object is in the airways, it is strictly forbidden to pat the child on the back when he is in a vertical position. In this case, it can be harmed by involuntarily pushing a foreign object much deeper. In such a situation, it is necessary to tilt the head and body of the baby.

    Remember the strict requirement: in any case, do not try to remove the stuck object on your own! You can make the child much worse, and his breathing can be completely blocked. In this case, you need to call the “ambulance”.

    Measures to help babies over one year of age

    You need to start with one thing: no panic! One-year-old children and older are already well aware and perceive the emotions of their parents. And with your unbridled panic, you can alarm the child too much.

    In essence, the measures of immediate assistance to infants of this age category approximately coincide with the methods of assistance to infants. If a foreign object or food crumbs gets into the larynx, lift the baby, firmly grasping the legs, or stimulate his gag reflex. However, in most cases, the child manages to cough without outside help.

    But if the situation turned out to be more complicated and the above measures did not give the desired result, then the procedure is as follows. You need to put the baby face up on the crib. Press under the ribs into the upper abdomen, pushing up slightly, repeat several times. These movements stimulate the movement of a foreign object back into the oral cavity.

    Often another method is used. The child is in front of you, with his back to you. Place your palm on his chest so that the baby rests on your arm. His body should be slightly tilted forward. With the other hand, tap on the back between the shoulder blades 4-5 times.

    In the event that a foreign object has become the cause of the accident, it is also recommended to use the direct aid method for suffocation, developed by the American surgeon Henry Heimlich. This technique includes two different ways of helping, depending on whether the patient is conscious or not.

    First way

    Standing behind, clench your right hand into a fist, on top – the left. Press vigorously with the fist of your right hand on the area under the ribs above the navel, directing the movement from the bottom up, towards the sternum, while the arms are bent at the elbows. Continue until then. Until the subject exits and breathes back. This method is suitable for babies from the age of one.

    Second way

    Lay the child face up and place the hands in the same way as in the first example. With vigorous movements, push up towards the diaphragm until the victim resumes independent inhalations and exhalations. If these efforts fail, artificial respiration and chest compressions may be necessary.

    These exercises should be done until the foreign object returns to the oral cavity. This method does not apply to babies under 1 year old.

    Baby is choking and not breathing: what to do

    When the child chokes, it is likely that breathing stops due to spasms in the larynx. The most common cause of them is a stressful situation for the child.

    The order of urgent action in such a situation is as follows:

    – you need to lay the child sideways on the table;

    – slightly tilt your head back;

    – slightly raise your head by the chin.

    If breathing is not restored, begin artificial respiration immediately:

    – in the same way, put the baby on the table;

    – take the head back and open your mouth;

    – make sure there are no foreign objects in the oral cavity;

    – exhale into the child’s mouth for a long time;

    – repeat 3-4 times. If the chest expands, then you have achieved the desired result, the air enters the lungs of the child. If the baby’s chest is immobile, then take urgent measures to eliminate obstructions to breathing;

    – after this, we place one palm on top of the other on the child’s chest and press sharply – the chest should straighten out each time;

    – alternate this massage and exhalation into the mouth at least 16 times.

    What to do when the baby chokes

    This can happen in various circumstances: bathing in a bathtub, splashing in a summer inflatable pool or in a pond, falling into a pond, or accidentally inhaling liquid while drinking. Measures to save a choked baby must also be taken as quickly as possible:

    – Place the baby on your thigh prone, lowering his head below the body, and press on his back. By doing this, you will help eliminate water from his respiratory tract.

    – Make sure that there are no foreign objects or vomit in the child’s mouth.

    – Following this, it is necessary to take measures, according to the basic requirements:

    – Respiratory patency should be achieved. The baby lies prone, his neck is not bent, the lower jaw is advanced, the tip of the tongue is retracted. We massage the heart, do artificial respiration.

    If we do everything as it should be, then we observe the rhythmic movement of the breathing baby’s chest. If these regular movements are absent, but the abdomen is swollen, then breathing does not occur.

    For every couple of exhalations, press the chest 15 times. Toddlers up to one year of age should do these movements with two fingers, and only starting from a year old can you use your palm. Pressing forces should be applied on the sternum in the area between the nipples.

    Having brought the baby to consciousness, in no case do not refuse his examination in a medical institution. Such an incident may have further undesirable consequences – for example, pulmonary edema within 3 days after the water has entered the respiratory tract.

    When your baby accidentally chokes or chokes, you will not have the opportunity to study the advice of professional pediatricians on the Internet for your situation. There won’t be a second to lose. Not only health, but often the life of the child will depend on the speed and effectiveness of your measures. And the best thing you can do now for your child is to learn the most important first aid skills in advance so that when faced with an unexpected incident, you do not panic.

    Characteristic signs of colic in a newborn

    Colic

    Farther

    A newborn may cry for a variety of reasons. And it’s not always about infantile colic. To calm the baby, you need to understand what specifically worries him.

    Colic or anxious crying?

    If the baby cries at different times and quickly calms down in your arms, this is not colic. With such whims, the newborn informs his parents about his needs. You can understand what a newborn wants from you by his behavior and intonation of crying:

    • If the baby screams loudly and invitingly, it means that he misses his mother and wants to be held. As soon as you approach his bed, he will calm down.
    • If an infant falls ill , he cries plaintively and monotonously. From a sharp pain, the child cries out and begins to cry incessantly. The kid whines and whimpers intermittently. On your hands can calm down. During illness, lethargy, poor appetite, high temperature (under the arm from 37.8 ° C), bouts of nausea, skin rashes, diarrhea, and pallor are added to whims. These symptoms have nothing to do with colic. At the first sign of discomfort in the baby, call the pediatrician at home. The specialist will be able to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
    • If a newborn cries loudly and protractedly, and after a while begins to choke, he is hungry. When you take him in your arms, the baby will begin to look for the breast.
    • If the baby is naughty all day long, drools, puts his hands in his mouth, sometimes starts to cry angrily, it means that he is teething
    • If the baby is frightened of something, he starts crying suddenly and very loudly. To calm him down, just hug him and rock him.
    • The baby may experience discomfort during hiccups . Because of this, he begins to whimper quietly and not for very long.
    • If during a walk, after an active game, at a party or before going to bed, the baby starts to act up, and with any attempts to entertain him, he starts screaming, it means that he is simply tired. As soon as you put him to bed or begin to rock him, the baby will calm down.
    • Baby can be naughty if he is too hot. At the same time, he waves his arms and legs, sweats, his skin becomes hot. It is necessary to ventilate the nursery, undress the baby and offer him a teaspoon of clean water.
    • If the baby is cold, he starts to hiccup and sob. To calm him down, wrap him in a blanket, put him on your chest, or give him a warm mixture.
    • If your baby is whimpering, fidgeting in the crib and still acting up in your arms, it’s time for a diaper change.

    Characteristic signs of colic in newborns

    Colic crying is a completely different matter. You can’t confuse him with anything. The baby begins to scream heart-rendingly for three hours in a row every day at about the same time, most often after evening feedings or early in the morning. A crying baby cannot be soothed. Attacks are repeated at least three times a week and last up to three months.

    Colic is not a disease, but a baby’s reaction to the changes taking place in his body. They are caused by the formation of the digestive and nervous system. When the baby grows up, the seizures will stop.

    Understanding that a baby has colic is quite simple. The following signs indicate this:

    • During the day the baby is active. He feels well, eats normally, and gains weight steadily. By evening, the situation changes dramatically. The baby begins to scream very sharply and loudly for no apparent reason.
    • Colic crying lasts for several hours in a row. The baby screams non-stop. At times like this, it’s impossible to calm him down. Attacks are repeated every day, but sometimes the baby can take breaks for a couple of days. The baby begins to cry after the evening feeding, at night or early in the morning.
    • When a baby cries, he is visibly nervous: he jerks his arms and legs, clenches his fists, presses his legs to his stomach, arches his back, fidgets, makes faces, frowns his eyebrows.

      In the US city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, there was a shooting that killed four people, including the shooter himself, city police said.

      “We can confirm that four people, including the shooter, have died as a result of active shooting on the campus of St. Francis Hospital. Officers continue to clear the building,” the city’s police department said on Twitter.

      KJRH writes that the shooter committed suicide citing a member of the city council of one of the districts of Tulsa. The Natalie building, where the incident took place, is the newest building in the medical center and houses the surgical dispensary and breast center.

      About a week ago, on May 24, another shooting incident occurred at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and three adults, including the perpetrator. US President Joe Biden then called for a challenge to the gun lobby. On May 30, a shooting was reported at a festival in Taft, Oklahoma, killing one person and injuring seven.

      Details – in the material “Kommersant” “American tragedy with political overtones.”


      Even more news is in the Kommersant Telegram channel.

      City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

      In the northeast of Oklahoma, there is a large oil and gas producing center of the USA – the city of Tulsa. It is located on the banks of the Arkansas River. The population is about 950 thousand people. Today Tulsa is a large metallurgical, oil refining, engineering, cultural and historical center of the country. Some of the quarters are still saturated with the spirit of the Old West. An atmosphere of peace, silence and extraordinary charm reigns here. Moving on, tourists find themselves within the boundaries of the “new city” with its frantic pace and incredible dynamics. Such quarters are built up with huge shopping and office centers, modern skyscrapers, luxury hotels and restaurants. In some places you can stumble upon buildings of the Victorian era, neo-Gothic buildings and buildings in the Art Deco style.

      History of the city

      In 1836, the first Indian settlements appeared on the territory of Tulsa. These were the Creek and Lochapoca Indian tribes. They founded a small settlement of Tallasi here, translated from the Indian dialect as “old town”. Up until the 20th century, Tulsa was a small, seedy town. In 1901, an oil field was found in the vicinity of the city. This event was an incredible impetus for the development of the city. In a short period of time, the population density has almost tripled. And the city itself has become the “oil capital of the world.” 1921 years has become tragic in the history of Tulsa. This year, a wave of riots swept through the city. Due to racial differences, 36 people died, several hundred were injured. As a result of the conflict, a large number of buildings and houses were destroyed and burned, many residents were left without shelter and livelihoods. The Great Depression, which broke out in the 1930s, only slightly touched Tulsa. The city survived thanks to the strength of its energy industry. It is known that Tulsa is the birthplace of “route 66” – one of the first highways built in the United States. The construction was sponsored by Cyrus Avery, a well-known American businessman.

      Tulsa Attractions

      City Museums

      Tulsa is a city of great historical and cultural heritage. A huge number of museums are concentrated within its boundaries. The Gilcrease Museum enjoys special attention. The exposition of the museum allows you to return to the era of the Old West, learn a lot about the culture of the Lochapoka Indians, plunge into the distant, but such an alluring atmosphere of antiquity. The exhibits of the museum are constantly replenished and updated. On the territory of the museum there is a small souvenir shop where everyone can buy a small piece of the past for themselves. The Ida Willis Museum is another interesting place. Its exposition consists of 2 thousand miniature toys and dolls. There are large doll houses, miniature furniture, dolls of different sizes, soft toys, etc. The Sherwin Miller Museum houses a unique collection of Jewish artifacts. Art lovers are advised to visit the Philbrook Museum – a large art gallery. Here are collected magnificent works of artists of the last century and masters of our time. A charming garden adjoins the museum building. Its main decoration is the numerous sculptures placed around the entire perimeter. The Tulsa Aerospace Museum is of incredible interest. Among its exhibits are a model of the city airport, a German fighter, and Rutan’s plane. By visiting one of the excursions, you can learn a lot of interesting things about the history and development of American astronautics and aviation. The Planetarium was built not far from the museum building.

      Center of the Universe

      In the very center of the Tulsa footbridge is an unusual place that the townspeople call the Center of the Universe. In the middle of the bridge, right on the ground, there is a round stone hatch. If two people stand on the edges of this hatch, then when they talk, they will hear only the echo of each other. But it is worth moving to the center, and the person begins to hear his own echo, but there is no interlocutor.

      Skyscraper Filtauer

      Skyscraper Filtauer is a wonderful masterpiece of neo-gothic architecture. In some elements of the building there is an art deco style, new at that time, not yet fully explored. The center of the structure is crowned by a tall rectangular tower with an illuminated tiled roof. Inside the building is divided into two zones – one is occupied by office space, the other is given over to residential apartments. The Filtower is the first modern skyscraper built within the city.

      City Zoo

      A favorite place for children is the city zoo. Its territory includes several thematic zones – an African safari, the tropics and a railway, along which a colorful zoo train runs. The Tulsa Zoo is home to several hundred animals, birds and reptiles. In 2002, a grandiose project was launched in the city. Dozens of penguin sculptures were placed throughout its territory. The goal of the project is to raise as much money as possible for the construction of housing for African penguins.

      Tulsa Natural Parks

      Tulsa is a remarkably green city. A huge number of natural parks are concentrated within its boundaries. Among the most famous places is Oxley Park, which is located not far from the city zoo. This is one of the most picturesque places in the city – ponds with fragrant lilies and bright magnolias, mini-forests, wonderful prairies. Many city dwellers come here to listen to the birds singing, enjoy clean fresh air, feel the heady aroma of thousands of flowers and herbs, take a break from the noise of the big city, from its frantic rhythm. Woodward Park is another unique place in Tulsa. Walking along the shady alleys, visitors can admire the delightful rose garden set up in the very center of the park, admire the sparkling fountains, wander along the pond strewn with water lilies. Connoisseurs of wildlife are given the opportunity to appreciate its beauty in the area of ​​Turkey Mountain. Here tourists can go on a walking or cycling tour.

      Council Oak

      The symbol of the city of Tulsa is the mighty old oak, the meeting place of the Creek Indian tribe. Several centuries ago, it was under this tree that the Indians burned their cult bonfires.

    My son has attended Bright Minds Childcare Center for almost 5 years (since he was 5 months old). My other son attends on a drop-in basis.

    Ms. Cherita and the staff there provide positive direction, a listening ear, conflict resolution, education based programs, STEAM experiences, physical activity and so much more. This has been an excellent environment for my son. There have even been times he cried when time for pick up. My child feels loved and safe in his school.

    During the pandemic, Ms. Cherita implemented increased safety measures to protect the children and families involved. She followed CDC and state guidelines as directed (which are still in place). I appreciate the increased level of accountability in keeping my child safe. Not once did she close due to an outbreak or positive COVID case. I believe the extra precautions are worth it.

    She is also concerned about the community and neighborhood in which the business is located. She shares the rules and regulations required of the community to remain respectful of the neighbors.

    I highly recommend Bright Minds Childcare Center.

    06/03/2022

    Both of my sons have attended Bright Minds since the ages of 4 months old until ages 5 years old. Both of my sons are able to articulate clearly and concisely as toddlers and as big boys. I attribute this to the class instruction provided here. They were reading, writing, counting to 100, adding and subtracting, identifying money, building structures, as well as navigating STEAM science projects with great ease well before milestone expectations. My older son in accelerated curriculum classes and my younger one will be entering kindergarten in accelerated classes at his new elementary school. During the pandemic Bright Minds was one of only three schools in Arizona that remained open through the entire pandemic with no positive COVID cases and still have yet to have had any confirmed cases. That speaks volumes for itself! The safety parameters that are currently in place maintain that our children are safe, secure , loved, listened to and deter any unnecessary attention that would invite harm or allow any harmful behaviors like those of recent events. I recommend Bright Minds to any parent looking for a place of safety, accelerated fun learning and nurturing accompanied by a staff dedicated to the unique needs of your child. Every child and family is treated with dignity, love and respect at Bright Minds Childcare!

    06/03/2022

    Amazing daycare. My children love it. Great experience.

    06/03/2022

    Bright Minds is by far the safest day care I have experience. Cherita King does a fantastic job keeping a clean and welcoming environment. All the children that are enrolled at Bright Minds are very friendly and the staff are even more caring and attentive. It’s always hard to leave your children but knowing they’re in the best hands imaginable at Bright Minds makes it easier.

    06/03/2022

    My children have attended Bright Minds Childcare Center for several years and we’ve had an amazing and positive experience. I chose Bright Minds because I wanted an environment where I felt my children would feel safe, be treated with kindness, and receive individualized attention. My children blossomed at Bright Minds and it was so exciting to see all of the wonderful things they learned over the years. The staff at bright minds are loving and attentive and I couldn’t think of a better place to bring your children.

    Our son attended this daycare and was bullied and the owner Cherita King did nothing about it but get defensive and kick us out versus having a productive conversation. If you are looking for a safe environment for your kids, this is not the daycare for you!

    Our son has attended Bright Minds since the end of my maternity leave at 3 months old. He is now 1.5 and flourishing under their care. Their ability to instruct and develop their students minds and skills is only outdone by the nurturing atmosphere. With two educators as parents, we appreciate everything our son learns while in their care. We are constantly impressed by his rapid development. We highly recommend Bright Minds.

    Amazing! You will receive the excellent overall service you would expect from a large facility and your child will receive personal care and attention that they need. Always extremely clean and organized and completely catered to your children. Ms.Cherita is an excellent teacher and the children love her. They offer a food program which is awesome. They are licensed also licensed. Excellent place to bring your children.

    07/14/2017

    Loving, clean, and caring environment. Teachers are very engaged with students and send updates to parent often. My child learns new things each week and loves coming to daycare. I love this home daycare and would recommend to all.

    Look up!

    Stargazing is a wonderful way to spend time with your children – and a great way to turn that time into something educational. Astronomy is more than just gazing at stars – it teaches children about the universe, provides them with what can be a lifelong hobby or even a career later in life.

    Astronomy is more than just grabbing a set of binoculars or a telescope and looking into the night’s sky. To get a true appreciation of the wonderment the constellations can bring, spend an evening with your children looking at the sky the way it was meant to be seen – with the naked eye. This allows your child to really get an idea of just how enormous the sky is and the beauty it contains, without the restriction of a telescope lens.

    Start by teaching your children to look at and understand the phases of the moon and the bigger, easy-to-see constellations like The Big Dipper and the North Star. You’ll be surprised how excited your children will be when they can recognize a constellation and can point out at to you.

    Now, if you aren’t sure about the constellations yourself, this presents a new opportunity for you to learn right along with your children. You can either take a class – sometimes your local library or science museum will offer classes perfect for beginners. There is also plenty of software and websites out there that can turn your computer into a mini planetarium.

    Perhaps the biggest attraction to astronomy is that you are only limited by your own imagination. When you and your children have grasped the basics of stargazing, you can literally spend hours discovering all that the universe has to offer.

    Daily routines can be a challenge, especially if you have younger children who have a way of losing or misplacing things on a regular basis.

    Here are some great tips on how to keep your children, especially young ones, get and stay organized:

    1. Have a designated work space for homework, projects, etc. Pick a room or a part of a room that your child can keep all of his or her supplies for homework, arts and crafts, reading. Use bins to keep supplies neat and in one place. Be sure you have enough room, if possible, to keep their books and try using a basket to keep papers that your child may need for school, studying for tests, etc.
    2. When you buy school supplies at the beginning of the year, color code each subject – Math is blue, English is green, etc., and use the same color for each subject throughout the year. This will make it easy for you to child to quickly grab what they’re looking for without having to rifle through every folder or notebook.
    3. Create a cubby hole at or near your front door to keep your child’s backpack, hats, gloves, scarves, shoes – anything they need to grab quickly if the morning gets away from them. Teach your child to put whatever they need for the next day in the cubby each night before they go to bed.
    4. Use a calendar. For your older children you can provide them with a calendar or appointment book. With your younger children, create a weekly or monthly calendar and use bright colors and pictures to help remind them of important days.
    5. Lead by example. If you want your children to be organized, keep yourself organized. They are more likely to follow by example. Make to-do lists, turn the television off at the same time every day/evening, pay bills on a regular schedule – anything that requires a routine. Let your children see you follow an organized routine and they will do the same.</p>

    Infants

    Infants begin learning as early as birth. Therefore, we provide a stimulating environment geared towards positively developing their young minds. We talk to our “delightful” infants often. Our infants are called by their names and we do not use “baby talk”. We are gentle and comforting in our tone. We want children to develop their language, which we believe is more effective when we speak plain and simple words and sentences.

    Read more

    One-Year-Olds

    For our “curious” one year olds, we continue to build upon the foundation provided for our infants. For those who need it, encouragement regarding pulling up and walking is continued. There is a focus on words…introducing new words and language skills according to the developmental age of the child.

    Read more

    Two-Year-Olds

    At the age of two, children begin their transition from being a baby to being a child. They began to exhibit a certain amount of independence and may want to do things without help.

    Our “independent” two year olds enjoy safe games and activities that allow them to run, jump, tumble and climb. Two year olds enjoy throwing, kicking and rolling balls so we provide many opportunities for these activities.

    Read more

    Three-Year-Olds

    The program for our “inquisitive” three year olds continues to develop based upon learning from our previous age groups. We provide an environment for our three year olds to safely run, skip, jump and explore. There is a focus of not only reciting the alphabets and counting numbers, but also ensuring that our three year olds can identify letters and numbers.

    Read more

    Private Pre-K

    Building upon the learning from our previous programs is continued. The main focus for our “clever” four year olds is to ensure that they possess the knowledge and confidence for school readiness.

    Reading development continues in our Pre-K program; however, in addition to our reading to our children, time is spent teaching them how to read and allowing/encouraging them to read out loud.

    Private Kindergarten

    Our Kindergarten Program, which is “Accredited with Quality” by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, provides an accelerated program for our “brilliant” Kindergarten aged children. We want our children to have a joy for learning.  We challenge them and believe in “Stretching but not Stressing” our students.

    Our program has a major focus on reading.  Reading comprehension is an important part of our program in that we want our children to actually understand what is read versus just calling out words.  STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) is emphasized in our program.  Our goal is for our students to perform higher than what is normally expected of Kindergarten aged students.  We also focus on providing our students of knowledge regarding social studies.

    Private First Grade

    There is a continuation of the focus on reading further implementing activities that support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Our goal is for our students to perform higher than what is normally expected of First Graders. We also focus on providing our students of knowledge regarding social studies.

    Exhibition “Symphony of the Great Cosmos” in the city of Astravets, Grodno Region (Belarus)

    Russian
    English

    Exhibition “Symphony of the Great Cosmos” in the city of Ostrovets, Grodno region (Belarus)

    10/16/2021

    Astravets is a rapidly growing city in Belarus, a satellite city of the Belarusian nuclear power plant. The brightest minds of the country will work in the new high-tech industry. For this, one of the schools in Astravets trains future nuclear scientists. After classes, twice a week, the school’s resource center is visited by children of different ages – from toddlers to graduates, to find out how the world works, to study in depth physics, chemistry and mathematics – everything that may be useful to an energy specialist in the future. In this center, it is not only possible, but also necessary to practically master 3D printers, interactive whiteboards, computers, and learn what robots are. About a hundred children are constantly engaged here. The project is still an experimental joint project with the same “nuclear” cities in Russia. But teachers have already felt the effect of its implementation. Caring for the younger generation of Ostrovets is one of the priority areas for the development of the city.

    One of the oldest educational institutions in the city of Ostrovets is the State Educational Institution School No. 2, with which the Branch of the International Center of the Roerichs in the Republic of Belarus has been cooperating for about 10 years. Here, on October 14, 2021, an exhibition of winners and prize-winners of the International Children’s Drawing Contest “We are Children of the Cosmos” entitled “Symphony of the Great Cosmos” was opened.

    Since 2017, the International Children’s Drawing Competition “We are the Children of Space” has been held by the Helena Roerich Charitable Foundation and the International Center of the Roerichs, with the support of the Russian Academy of Arts, the International Union of Artists, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and the Association of Museums of Cosmonautics of Russia .

    Great interest in the exhibition and its idea was shown by the director of the school, Anton Cheslavovich Treigis. He did everything so that the exhibition could be seen by as many children and residents of the city as possible. Deputy director for educational work Elena Gendrikovna Silvanovich organized a visit to the exposition by students of all grades of the school. The opening of the exhibition was covered by the Ostrovetskaya Pravda newspaper. The correspondents of the newspaper showed great interest in the exhibition and filmed a video that was shown on a local TV channel, which made it possible to widely inform the citizens.

    The exhibition was opened by representatives of the Branch of the International Center of the Roerichs in the Republic of Belarus – Georgy Vasilievich and Lyudmila Mikhailovna Shestirekov. Georgy Vasilyevich told the children about the competition and its organizers, about the competition jury, winners and prize-winners. He paid special attention to the fact that 19 children from the Republic of Belarus became the winners and prize-winners of the competition in 2020, including two who received the Grand Prix. For each of the classes who came to the exhibition one after another, GV Shestirekov gave an excursion.

    In the course of communication, the children expressed their ideas about the Cosmos, its infinity and beauty with pleasure. At the suggestion of the guide, the schoolchildren chose the drawings they liked the most and told how they felt about this drawing and what, in their opinion, the author of the work, their peer, and often a much younger artist, wanted to tell the audience.

    Georgy Vasilyevich suggested that children pay attention to the “key” to understanding creative works, which is embedded in their title. Using this “key”, the children were happy to fantasize and present their own versions of what is shown in the picture and what the Cosmos is in general.

    The story about the painting “Man is the artist of the world!” turned out to be interesting! Alshanova Elvira (12 years old) from the city of Bologoye, Tver region. All participants of the excursion together came to the conclusion that we ourselves, each of us, is the creator – the artist of the world. And it is we who create the overall picture of the world with our thoughts and actions. Good thoughts create a general portrait of the world with beautiful strokes, while bad thoughts and actions make the picture of the world less attractive, less beautiful. The guys came to the conclusion that our common task is to work on ourselves, try to think beautifully, do good deeds, and improve our cultural level.

    It is interesting to note that children of different ages often chose the same drawings by young artists as their favorite works.

    And some guys said that they also like to draw, they are learning this and expressed their desire to take part in this competition. Lyudmila Mikhailovna Shestirekova handed over the details of the Helena Roerich Charitable Foundation to the children who were interested in the competition and wished them good luck.

    In conclusion, the headmaster A.Ch. Treigis and the head teacher for educational work E.G. Silvanovich thanked the organizers of the competition and the Branch of the International Center of the Roerichs in the Republic of Belarus for the exhibition and an interesting story and expressed their hope that cultural cooperation would continue.

    Is it easy to be a woman

    Society

    11:04, March 10, 2017

    Nelly CHUKANOVA
    Sergei VINOGRADOV

    At all times, the family was considered the main purpose of the fair sex.
    True, at the dawn of socialism, some revolutionary-minded minds tried to refute this postulate. Marriage was declared a relic of the past, Komsomol women were urged not to refuse anything to Komsomol members, and the fruits of an easy relationship were offered to be brought up in special children’s factories – round-the-clock five-day nurseries and kindergartens, and then to schools and boarding schools. In the summer, in order not to get in the way, shaven-headed underfeeders were herded en masse into country camps.
    How else? As a result of revolutionary changes, a woman was completely equated in rights and duties with a man, and when did she, a leader and all sorts of Stakhanovites, bother with pots, troughs, pots and wipe her snotty noses? In the twenties and thirties, they managed to build residential buildings without kitchens. It was fashionable to eat in canteens, and ready-made food for the home was purchased at kitchen factories or in cookery.
    But the age-old habit of making a home nest overcame, and the woman eventually contrived to work hard at work on an equal basis with the peasants, and to drag life on herself, and take care of children. And after all nothing, sdyuzhila! He gets up early, melts the stove, drags water from a pump or a well, prepares breakfast – lunch – dinner, wakes everyone up, bathes, feeds, in the gardens – he will divorce the schools, work the shift, pick up the children from the garden – from the school, go shopping along the way. He will feed you dinner, wash the dishes, what you need – wash, mend, iron. He will learn his lessons with his undergrowths, put everyone to sleep. And in the remaining free time, he will also prepare for a session at an institute or technical school. How else? It is necessary to improve your professional level in order to keep up with the competition with men for the best job with a higher salary.
    Our poor mothers and grandmothers! Back in the sixties of the last century, they could stay on parental leave for only six months. Try to sit up – immediately under the article for parasitism will be attracted! There was only one way out – the same nursery, where the kids were often and seriously ill. Infant and child mortality in the country was very high. I remember the smell of my childhood – the smell of penicillin – and my mother, sadly sorting syringes, pistons and needles with tweezers in the sterilizer …
    Those who were richer got out, finding a nanny for the child – yes, yes, then many pensioners worked part-time as nannies. Now older women prefer to go to work – to whom health and opportunities allow, and those who are not allowed to while away the time on a bench at the entrance or at the TV, but even a few agree to sit with their own grandchildren – it’s very troublesome!
    Refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners in the fifties and seventies of the last century were not available in all families, which made life difficult. Housewives washed in basins and troughs using special boards. For greater cleanliness, linen was boiled in tanks, rubbing soap shavings into it. Carpets and runners had to be rolled up, taken out into the yard, piled up on football goals and beaten out for a long time with a beater and swept with a broom. In winter, one of the folk pastimes was knocking out floor coverings on the first snow. Then the whole yard was covered in gray squares and rectangles…
    Horror is simple! Meat grinders and coffee grinders existed only mechanical, irons – without a steamer … And no microwave ovens and mixers with blenders that make household work easier for you!
    In order not to finally overstrain, women began to save energy … on children. Somewhere in the seventies they took and abruptly began to give birth less. One, well, maximum – two. Families with many children have become a rarity, and following such citizens, more “reasonable” even twisted their fingers to their temples. Over time, many came to the conclusion that first of all it is necessary to live for yourself. Let’s remember what our parents told us and what we now habitually repeat to our offspring? First, learn, get a good profession, and only then … And then they themselves become smart and without prompting they know that they need to build a career or promote their business, buy an apartment or a house, upgrade a car … Look, it’s already too late to give birth!
    Although the attitude to this issue has also changed a lot. I remember that 25 years ago, in a antenatal clinic, one married lady who missed her time begged the doctor to give her a referral for an abortion: “I am 38 years old! The son is in the army, he will return – what will he think of me? And now they give birth at 45, and even over 50. True, these are mostly not the first children.
    Fortunately, the fashion for large families is reviving, and it is far from uncommon for young parents to lead a couple of kids by the hands and roll a stroller with a crumb in front of them.
    So the current movie and pop stars are making their contribution to this good cause. Previously, many divas brought the joy of motherhood as a sacrifice to the altar of the profession, and now they give birth to three and four children almost without interruption from work …
    Life has become easier – numerous smart devices greatly simplify our lives. The abundance of products, including those ready for baby food, good clothes, care items (most importantly, disposable diapers!) also contributes to facilitating the female lot.
    Yes, and ladies have learned to earn on a par with men, and now, in which case, many are able to feed themselves and their children.
    Has the emancipation that was talked about so much a hundred years ago come true?

    Burganov found himself a first deputy

    The highly experienced Ilsur Khadiullin will become the chief curator of the schools – it is he who will now have to resolve the “language issue”

    The new head of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan Rafis Burganov continues to recruit a team. According to BUSINESS Online, a key appointment is expected from day to day: the head of the Kazan Department of Education Ilsur Khadiullin, who, unlike the minister, has worked in the field of education all his life and has a keen sense of the pedagogical sphere, will become the first deputy. The official, whose biography also includes the post of deputy head of the executive committee of the CGT, is characterized as a person capable of finding compromises – this is what is needed now.

    Ilsur Metshin has repeatedly said that when Ilsur Khadiullin came, the city staff immediately took him positively. Now they are looking for a replacement to replace him.

    NEW FIRST DEPUTY

    As it became known to BUSINESS Online, the head of the education department of the executive committee of Kazan Ilsur Khadiullin goes to work in the team of the new Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan Rafis Burganov . In the near future, he should be appointed First Deputy Minister and will be closely involved in the field of primary and secondary education, that is, curating schools. The first information about his appointment to the post of Burganov’s deputy appeared yesterday in the WhatsApp chat of Tatar activists. Today, this information was confirmed to a BUSINESS Online correspondent by two well-informed sources in the bureaucratic environment. According to the interlocutors of the publication, the future appointee has actually already begun to fulfill his duties, and the matter will not follow the required government decree.

    According to them, Burganov urgently needed his own “right hand”, capable of resolving issues directly related to education. His long-term “squire” – appointed last week to the post of deputy Azat Sharapov is still a purely business executive who has never been involved in education. Now he will be the curator of the exclusively economic bloc. The choice of Khadiullin seems quite logical: he is familiar to Burganov from his work in the city executive committee and has worked in the industry all his life, finely feeling the pedagogical sphere. Like Burganov himself, whose position is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexey Pesoshin called “execution”, Khadiullin did not seek promotion. But the personnel bench is too short.

    Recall that Burganov began to form his team at the Ministry of Education immediately after his arrival. Sharapov replaced Pavel Frolov, appointed literally at the end of November . The curator of the sphere of national education Ildar Mukhametov , invited to the ministry by Engel Fattakhov , left the post a little earlier of his own free will. Now the official website of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan lists five deputy ministers: Pominov, another “old-timer” of the ministry Larisa Sulima , Timirkhan Alishev , Azat Sharapov and representative of Rosobrnadzor Gulnara Gabdrakhmanova .

    The BUSINESS Online correspondent managed to get through to Khadiullin. Khadiullin evaded answering the question of whether he was really going to work in the educational department: “I can’t say. I am sitting in the same place as the head of the Kazan education department.” In turn, Khadiullin asked where the rumors were coming from, and once again replied: “So far, I can’t say anything.” However, this answer can be considered indirect confirmation.

    By the way, it is still unclear whether 59-year-old Andrey Pominov , who has been working as Deputy Minister for 10 years, will remain First Deputy. However, with Khadiullin they complement each other well, because Pominov’s main area of ​​responsibility is higher and secondary specialized education. At Pominov’s reception today we were informed that Andrey Ivanovich was not in place and asked to call the press service to clarify the necessary information.

    Now they are looking for a replacement for Khadiullin’s place in the executive committee, the final candidacy has not yet been determined. The press service of the mayor’s office did not comment on the topic. At the time of publication, the press service of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan did not respond to a request from BUSINESS Online – the press secretary received a request and promised to call back.

    EXPERIENCED OFFICIAL AND FATTAHOV’S OPPONENT

    Ilsur Garaevich Khadiullin worked all his life in the education system of Tatarstan. In 1989, he graduated from the Kazan State Pedagogical Institute with a degree in biology and chemistry, and in 1993 he was immediately hired as the director of Kazan School No. 71. After that, he led gymnasium No. 155 for another three years and at 19In 1997 he was appointed First Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan. There he worked for five years under the leadership of the then Minister of Education of the Republic Faris Kharisov and in 2002 he left for the position of First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the World Congress of Tatars. After VKT, Khadiullin headed the Institute for the Development of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan for three years until 2007. Then the Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan Rais Shaikhelislamov and Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Defense of Kazan Zukhra Nigmatullina took a specialist to the position of the new head of the education department of Kazan.

    Khadiullin himself is a non-public person. Despite the fact that he always willingly communicates with journalists, he rarely appears in the information field. Among the problems that Khadiullin is solving are, despite everything, the preservation of grant support for gifted children and advanced teachers, the rejuvenation of the teaching staff, school repairs, the fight against studying in two shifts, and the provision of places in kindergartens. A lot of attacks on Khadiullin were caused by the recent decision of the city to create 7 new educational centers based on 13 different schools: strong gymnasiums were merged with weaker schools from September 1, 2017. However, as it turned out later, it was not he himself who stood behind this decision, but his then boss Engel Fattakhov .

    In addition, it is difficult to remember the bright scandals associated with Khadiullin. His traditional response to any criticism: “There is a problem, we will solve it.” Actually, this flexibility allowed him to stay in the chair of the head of the education department for more than 10 years and survive three republican ministers. More than once or twice, he found himself between a rock and a hard place and knows what the cutting edge is, knows how to find a common language with both parents and teachers. “It cannot be said that Khadiullin stands out as a person, but you can always approach him with any question – and he treats school principals with understanding,” says one of the BUSINESS Online experts.

    Some sources of BUSINESS Online, by the way, called Khadiullin a likely successor to Fattakhov, to whom Ilsur Garaevich, as they say, was in latent opposition, trying to somehow smooth out ill-considered decisions at his level, including on the issue of thoughtless planting of the Tatar language through force. Because of this, in the summer he already “stands” with one foot in retirement, but life has shown him to be right.

    “THE WORK IS HARD, HE WILL HAVE TO DESTROY”

    Experts of “BUSINESS Online” shared their opinions about the newly appointed First Deputy Minister of Education.

    Marat Lotfullin – former deputy head of the Kazan Department of Education, senior researcher at the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan:

    – Khadiullin and I worked together. Such an appointment is a positive thing for the education system, but not for him personally, because the work is hard, he will have to destroy what he himself has created over many years, because now the ministry is busy destroying the Tatar language in schools, it’s hard with moral point of view. As a specialist, Khadiullin is very strong, knows the school well, worked as a teacher, director, deputy minister – a very experienced leader. And this is a man who came out of national education and dedicated his life to it.

    Airat Fayzrakhmanov – Deputy Chairman of the World Forum of Tatar Youth:

    – I came across Ilsur Garaevich, we had joint projects, I think it would be great, he knows national education well, worked in the World Congress of Tatars. As the head of the education department in the city, he has proven himself very well. As far as I know, he feels good in Kazan and sees how education can develop. But now he will have to balance between dissatisfied parents who demand that the Tatar language be completely removed, and those parents who stand up for Tatar. The problem has not yet been fully resolved. In Kazan, he decided this, now it will be necessary to decide on a Tatarstan scale. The issue of teaching the Tatar language as the state language has not been fully resolved either, it has a lot of work to do.

    “Azat Sharapov (pictured) is still a purely business executive who has never been involved in education”Photo: gossov.tatarstan.ru

    I hope that the work on the development of national education, which was carried out by the Ministry of Education and Science, will continue. In the situation with the language, we saw that in Kazan, large cities of the republic there are not enough schools with the Tatar language of instruction. Formally, we have them, but for the most part they teach there in Russian. The situation with the Tatar language arose largely because of this – children go to Russian schools, not finding options for studying in a school with the Tatar language. The ministry took care of this, drew up road maps, plans… I hope that all this will be implemented under Ilsur Khadiullin as deputy minister.

    Niyaz Gafiyatullin — director of the International School of Kazan, deputy of the Kazakh City Duma:

    — I worked with Ilsur Garevich in two areas: as the headmaster of the school directly under his leadership and as a deputy and chairman of the education committee of the Kazakh City Duma. From both cases, there was only a positive experience of working with this person. First, he is a professional. He knows every school, while a person with a big heart. He delves into every problem, listens very carefully, finds a solution. He personally gave me a lot of advice when I was just starting my professional career as a director. I know that Kazan is a very difficult area of ​​work for the head of the education department. There are very different schools, directors, teachers. Maintaining such a large economy is worthy of respect. Ilsur Raisovich Metshin said more than once that when Khadiullin came, the city staff immediately took him positively. He had already established himself on the good side at that time.

    As for deputy work, we constantly discuss problems with him, he listens and accepts constructive criticism. The most interesting thing is that the education department can never be taken by surprise – its subordinates always know about everything. Ilsur Garaevich has always been a mountain for education, for people.

    How will he help the Ministry of Education? Recently, issues of education have been politicized. I think that Khadiullin, firstly, is simply a professional who knows the problems of schools, the intricacies of the prosecutor’s requirements and regulatory standards. Secondly, the work in Kazan itself gives, among other things, political experience.

    Need to find a trusted babysitter fast? Try this app

    • Bambino, which launched in 2016, is an app that connects families and sitters through Facebook networks, so it’s always easy to find a sitter recommended by a friend.
    • Sitters enjoy using the app as well. Brianna Rocha, an elite sitter on the app, is able to book between three and five jobs a week in her neighborhood.

    As a mother with three young children living away from family in Westport, Connecticut, Elizabeth Aronson always relied heavily on babysitters. She said she had tried many services and had mixed luck before a fellow mom recommended Bambino, an app that connects families and babysitters based on a social network of recommendations.

    “I found sitters I felt like I could trust last minute,” said Aronson. “It’s very convenient.”

    Aronson said the added layer of parent reviews helped her feel confident that the sitters would do a good job.

    “As a parent, a friend recommendation is so much more powerful,” said Sean Greene, the founder and CEO of Bambino Technologies, which launched in Los Angeles in 2016 and has since gone live in more than 50 cities across the country.

    Building community

    The app builds community by having managers in each neighborhood. When Aronson and her family relocated to Austin, Texas, she saw that there was an opportunity to grow a Bambino community in her new town.

    She was so taken by the service that today Aronson is a market manager and head of training and development for Bambino in Austin.

    “I enjoy connecting sitters with families,” Aronson said. As a mom, she takes her job personally and knows how important it is to find a last minute sitter on a Saturday night.

    As a parent, a friend recommendation is so much more powerful.

    Sean Greene

    founder and CEO, Bambino Technologies

    Bambino charges 10 percent for use of its app, and all prices shown include those fees. For example, if a sitter sets his or her rate at $10 an hour, the parent will see the cost as $11.

    Connecting sitters with families

    For babysitters, technology has added ease to finding jobs as well. Brianna Rocha, 34, is a Bambino elite sitter in Dallas, Texas. She started babysitting to make extra money outside of her daytime job in insurance.

    Before using the app she was booking one babysitting job every few months. Now, she books jobs three to five days a week.

    More from Personal Finance

    “I don’t have to do any leg work,” Rocha said. “It’s a one stop shop.”

    In about a month, she was able to buy a new refrigerator with the extra money she made babysitting.

    Tips for finding qualified help

    For parents looking to find babysitters, here are some helpful tips.

    1. Look to your local community. Most apps do not allow sitters under 18 to join their platforms; Bambino is an exception. If you’re comfortable with a younger teen watching your children, there are other ways to find childcare. Religious communities are always a good place to find a network of sitters, especially if there is a local youth group. If your child is involved in sports or takes swimming lessons, ask if you can leave a card for the coaches at your local YMCA. You can also reach out to local babysitting classes in your area and ask for resources or recommendations. Both the Red Cross and Safesitter have classes for babysitters across the country.
    2. Have your own background check protocol. While apps like Bambino do verify parents and sitters and include background checks for added security, parents can and should assess the character of any babysitter they hire. There are free resources available that parents can check, such as the National Sex Offender Public Website for registered offenders, facts and statistics as well as other resources. Parents can also search their state registries. In addition, parents can ask for social media handles a resume or LinkedIn profile as well as professional references from potential sitters. It’s also a good idea to ask if your sitter has taken a babysitting class or has done any other training that teaches emergency skills and CPR.
    3. Do a test run with one or both parents present. Have an introduction with a new sitter and your children while one or both parent is at home. This gives you a chance to see how a sitter will interact with your children and help familiarize them to a new face.
    4. Discuss fair pay up front. How much you should pay a sitter will depend on many factors, such as where you live, how many children you have and how old they are. Parents and sitters can consult babysitting apps such as Care.com, Sittercity, Urbansitter or ask friends about how much they pay. Care.com says that the average hourly rate for sitters across the country is $11.75. The site also has a free calculator that will assess a sitter’s age, years of experience and the number of children to determine a pay rate.

    What Are the Legal Requirements to Babysit in Texas?

    December 3, 2017

    What Are the Legal Requirements to Babysit in Texas?

    ‘While there is no legal minimum age for babysitting in Texas, it is generally recommended by medical professionals that babysitters be no younger than 11. The maturity of any candidate should be evaluated very carefully to see that they demonstrate a high level of responsibility.’

    Every parent wants to be certain that his or her kids are safe when entrusted to a babysitter. And, no babysitter wants to be alone with children he or she can’t manage, or be faced with an emergency situation unprepared. But, what exactly does it take to qualify a sitter in Texas? How can a parent be confident in a babysitter’s abilities, or a teen know that he or she is ready to be responsible for someone else’s children?

    Texas law doesn’t provide easy answers to these questions. To some extent, the decision is a personal one. Parents must weigh their own concerns and priorities, along with knowledge of their children’s needs and behavior, to determine what they require in a babysitter. The babysitter must assess his or her own knowledge, experience, patience, and confidence before deciding whether to take on a job.

    Still, there are some objective steps both parties can take to ensure that the children are in good hands and the babysitter isn’t in over his or her head.

    There are Few Legal Restrictions on Texas Babysitters

    Except for home daycare providers who are babysitting for multiple children on a regular basis that might qualify as a Licensed Family Home, a Licensed Childcare Home,w or a Registered Childcare Home*, Texas babysitters are largely free from legal regulation and are not required to be licensed. There is no statutory minimum age to babysit in Texas, and no particular training is required.

    This lack of regulation makes it easier to find babysitters and easier to get started earning money by caring for children. However, it also places greater responsibility on parents to vet babysitting prospects, and on babysitters to educate themselves and be honest with themselves about the age and number of children they are prepared to be responsible for, under what circumstances, and for how long. When these prospective babysitters are young teens, their own parents should also be involved in that process.

    *See Paul H. Cannon Discusses the Importance of Vetting Home Daycare Centers for more information on the classifications and requirements for State-regulated home daycares.

    Common Sense Tips for Would-Be Babysitters

    While there is no legal minimum age for babysitting in Texas, it is generally recommended by medical professionals that babysitters be no younger than 11. The maturity of any candidate should be evaluated very carefully to see that they demonstrate a high level of responsibility. Young and inexperienced babysitters should also gain experience gradually and under safe conditions. For example:

    • If possible, start out assisting a parent by caring for a child while the parent is at home or nearby
    • Begin by babysitting for short periods of time
    • Start with one child, preferably one the sitter already knows well
    • Make sure the novice babysitter has resources, such as a parent or trusted neighbor, readily available.

    Even experienced babysitters will need to prepare themselves to care for each child or set of siblings, by talking with parents about any special concerns, house rules, and safety issues, and ensuring that all emergency numbers, necessary medications, and other resources are readily accessible.

    Who Offers Babysitting Classes and Training Programs?

    One good way to prepare to babysit is to complete babysitter training through the American Red Cross. The Red Cross offers a variety of affordable programs, from an online ‘Babysitter Basics’ course to live classroom training, and even more advanced child care and first aid training. Basic classes are typically open to anyone aged 11 or older.

    Completion of these courses may also make it easier for a young babysitter to find work, and provides parents with concrete information about what the prospective babysitter knows and is prepared for.

    Who Should Take Babysitter Training Classes?

    Generally, the courses are designed for ages 11 and up looking to babysit. They can be good for potential sitters even if they are just planning to watch younger siblings within their own homes.  For example, parents with multiple children may want their older children to complete babysitter training since it will make them better prepared to supervise their younger siblings when parents aren’t at home, and to take safety issues more seriously as they gain independence themselves.

    “Safety first” is never more true than when it comes to caring for your children—whether your children are being entrusted to a babysitter or are young babysitters who need to be as prepared and confident as possible when they take on this new responsibility.

    9000 Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas

    The most famous banker in the world, John Pierpont Morgan, said: “I will not give money under any guarantee. I give only for reputation. Just a month and a half ago, such a case occurred in Houston – under the reputation of the Houston Harris County Hospital District Foundation, the largest single donation of $ 15 million was made by the Lester family and Sue Smith. About how one becomes a philanthropist who is trusted to manage huge sums and the fate of other people, and how one lives with such a huge responsibility, Lisa Whitaker, Executive Director of this foundation, told the editors in impeccable Russian.

    I was born to a French diplomat in the Philippines. My father was rebuilding the French embassy in the islands; his predecessor was beheaded by the Japanese invaders. My brother was also born there. Then we returned to France for a few years and then went to India. I was four years old when we arrived in Calcutta. I still remember the horror that I saw there: people and animals died right on the street. For me, a little Parisian from a decent area, relief came when my father was transferred to Madras six months later, now it is the city of Chinai. There I spent a wonderful, amazing childhood. Mothers in those days did not take care of children, they were raised by nannies. We brought a governess with us from Paris so as not to lose the language and culture, but she ran away. And we were left with the Indians. My second Indian mother spoke Tamil. And as a child, I spoke three languages ​​at once: French, English and Tamil. And then, at the age of eight, I was sent, to my misfortune, to a Catholic monastery in the Indian mountains. For me, who grew up in freedom, like Mowgli, the customs of strict Irish nuns with their strict observance of rituals incomprehensible to me, and getting used to these orders, and isolation from home were painful. The only consolation was the holidays, when I could go home and live my life with my beloved animals. I’ve been in the saddle since I was four; I learned how to handle horses before I learned how to count and write.

    Then we moved to England, where I was assigned to a convent again; a glimmer of happiness came at the age of thirteen, when the pope was sent as First Secretary of the French Embassy in Washington. It was the beginning of the sixties. America opened up a different world for me, absolutely amazing for a girl who grew up literally in the middle of the Indian jungle. The deepest discovery that shocked me was ballet. With rapture, I began to study it in Washington. I, who danced well, was accepted into the ballet school. I finished it. However, due to my miniature complexion, I did not fit into the existing standards and was unable to build a professional ballet career. Since I showed a craving for knowledge and had some abilities, I continued my education at the university.

    My dad was just transferred to Australia and I entered the University of Melbourne. But the love of ballet burned in me; I loved everything about him. And since there was and is nothing better than Russian ballet, I was drawn to everything Russian. I was especially proud of my Russian great-grandfather, Russian roots. There were many Russian teachers at the university, I was attracted to them. The passion for everything Russian was so great that while still in Washington, I began to study the Russian language on my own. Dad tried to reason with me. Listen, he told me, we are here in America, visiting, and the Russians are the main enemies of the United States at this historical stage; you, the daughter of a diplomat, show tactlessness, studying Russian; Do not forget that relations with our native France after our withdrawal from NATO are not the most rosy, therefore, I beg you, do not complicate our lives.

    Saying this to a teenage girl and expecting to be understood? Yes, interest in everything Russian inflamed so much that I began to learn Russian from self-instruction books, to read everything in a row in Russian. From the teachers, I absorbed the sound of Russian speech. In general, like Onegin, I still learned “something and somehow.” I got to Russian phonetics through the only available source – records of the Military Red Banner Choir. I learned all the songs of the Soviet army – and sang them. This is how my Russian vocabulary and pronunciation was formed.

    In Melbourne, I immediately rushed to the Russian department, where the grandchildren of white emigrants from China and the children of Soviet citizens deported during World War II studied. Having passed the summer school, where I completed my Russian language studies, I managed to pass the exams, and they took me to this department for the first year. Fortunately, in the third year, teaching was conducted entirely in Russian, I leaned heavily on it. Many of my classmates “fell asleep” on exams; I went through everything and successfully graduated from the university; Immediately after graduation, I was lucky to find a job in West Germany. My employer was the US Army, which greatly appreciated the knowledge of two “enemy” languages ​​- Russian and French. There I again met with an American officer whom I knew from Washington; we got married and returned to the US a few years later. By that time, I already had American citizenship, obtained through work for the army. In the States, I worked for two “think tanks” at Harvard and at the Goover Institute. I was engaged in Russian Soviet subjects. Then my husband was sent on a business trip to Japan, where I quickly and decently mastered the Japanese language. Then we traveled a lot more around the world.

    The collapse of the Soviet system and the collapse of the Soviet Union found us in Singapore. I had never been to the USSR before, although I was connected with Russia through my favorite ballet – I assisted touring ballet companies as a guide and accompanying person. In the late eighties, at the end of perestroika, I went to the Union for the first time. It so happened that I wanted to help the Russians, and this desire of mine led me to the humanitarian aid industry. There was a non-profit humanitarian organization in Connecticut that kept people in other countries from starvation and lack of medicines – AmeriCares. At first I volunteered for them, and at 19In 1992, I was appointed to lead the humanitarian aid program for the former Soviet Union. But we provided assistance to all of Eastern Europe, which shook off communism. I carried cargo to Bosnia and Croatia. Radovan Karadzic personally expelled our mission from Serbia. I asked him for permission to send medical supplies to suffering people in Tuzla. This former psychiatrist told me then: “I not only do not give you permission, I warn you that after the last train leaves Belgrade at 11 o’clock tonight, I will no longer be responsible for your safety!” What to do? It is unambiguously stated. I had to leave. And the cargo went and reached the other way.

    I have been to Nagorno-Karabakh and other troubled places. My plane was the first foreign civilian plane that landed in Mozdok to help Chechnya: I brought humanitarian aid and jeeps for the UN mission there on IL-76 from Amsterdam. I was received by the Russian military and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. General Shoigu then told me: our armored personnel carriers will escort you to the border with Ingushetia, but then it’s you yourself. We did it there – at night we drove from Vladikavkaz to the border under guard, then ourselves, without guards, through turbulent territories, unloaded in a local hospital and drove back ourselves, to the border, and there again with an escort of armored vehicles. We worked quickly, we were aware of the danger, we behaved cautiously, and in the morning we returned to the border with Ingushetia, where an armored personnel carrier was waiting for us. So we weren’t caught.

    In Russia and the CIS countries, I had to see and experience everything. In Khanty-Mansiysk, planes were unloaded right on the ice, in a blizzard, at minus 45, and in Bukhara – in the sands at plus 45. So I was lucky to see real life, and not a television picture.
    I distributed aid in Moscow in Butyrka and in St. Petersburg in Kresty. Unforgettably. I remember that in St. Petersburg we go to the GAAZA hospital for a special contingent and go through endless bars, we enter a hall where everything is in clouds of gray smoke from shag, and from there, as if from the other world, completely gray exhausted old people come out – people who have spent their whole lives in the Gulag . I remember going into one room there, there are a lot of beds. All are empty. A man sits on a bed in the middle of the ward, and all the other patients, like little sparrows, huddle lonely on one bed in the corner. Somehow it all looked strange. It was some important leader, a thief in law. He talked to me very correctly and decently. He said that he was dying of lung cancer and that he would never leave here. He asked us to say hello to a man in New York, in Brooklyn. We had a Forbes journalist with us doing an article about AmeriCares. So he became ill when we got out of there. I had to take it out into the air. Later, he plucked up the courage to call the authority-given phone in New York. Journalistic curiosity took over. He called and said hello. The man on the other end hung up, almost having a heart attack from horror – it was a menacing warning from that terrible world behind the barbed wire.

    I got drunk with grief from the Russian customs, which refused to clear humanitarian aid without duties or bribes accompanying customs procedures. Sometimes the cargo spoiled in warehouses, but the customs stubbornly did not give the go-ahead. These people sometimes valued their pocket more than the lives of suffering children. The humanitarian aid, ruined by heartlessness, then had to be burned and destroyed – so many millions of dollars and someone’s unsaved lives perished.

    I have seen a lot in Russia. And through all this I carried the love of Russian ballet. Ballet Review magazine published my article about Yuri Solovyov, People’s Artist of the USSR, dancer of the Kirov Theatre, the Gagarin of Russian ballet. I’m working on the history of this tragically ruined talent. I helped his family, widow Tatyana Legat and daughter Alyonushka, leave for the USA at 1990s. I became the godmother of Solovyov’s grandson, also Yuri. With ballet critic Joel Lobenthal, we are working on a book-album about Yuri Solovyov.

    Now I work as the Executive Director of a fund that helps people in need, often without any documents and legal status, but living in the territory of Harris County, receive medical care from our “Regional Health” of Harris County. The health care system in the United States is different from other countries, and it is not easy to understand it. People who come here in search of a better life or for some other reason find themselves in Houston sometimes simply die because of ignorance of the opportunities that charity opens up for them. Our foundation receives donations from people who have made a lot of money in Houston and are now returning moral debts to the people of our city. They prefer to leave a memory of themselves in this way, and make their spiritual impulse targeted, helping those people who have surrounded and surround them every day throughout their business career. Now the efforts are aimed at promoting our foundation – after all, even informed television reporters do not know what we are and what we do. All you need to get our county health care through our foundation is to come to one of our clinics and complete the paperwork.

    Our results in terms of the amount of care provided and its quality are already comparable to the best hospitals in Houston. Our goal is to provide quality healthcare to every Houston resident. And we do it.

    1 month old drooling: Excessive Drooling in Infants

    Excessive Drooling in Infants

    Any parent of an infant is no stranger to drool. Drooling is a common practice for babies during the phase of development in which their needs are centered in the mouth – usually from about 3 to 6 months of age.

    From there, drooling is still a fairly standard occurrence in healthy children under 2 years of age. Saliva has many necessary functions. It keeps the mouth moist, making it easier to swallow and soothing a baby’s gums while they are teething, for example.

    Sometimes though, it may seem like your child is drooling a little too much. Typically, clinically excessive drooling involves low muscle tone, a lack of sensitivity in the lips and face, and difficulty swallowing. Although some drooling is normal in children up to 2 years of age, excessive drooling is also a commonly observed symptom in neurologically impaired children. It’s important to consult with your health care provider, as excessive drooling could potentially be a symptom of a more serious condition caused by a birth injury.

    Sforza, E., et al. (2022). Drooling outcome measures in paediatric disability: a systematic review. European Journal of Pediatrics, 1-18.

    This study found that a combination of quantitative measures and parental questionnaires might adequately measure drooling in children. 

    Bekkers, S., et al. (2021). Repeated onabotulinum neurotoxin A injections for drooling in children with neurodisability. Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 63(8), 991-997.

    This study looked at the effectiveness of repeated Botox injections for the treatment of drooling in children with neurodisabilities. The researchers found that Botox injections remained effective throughout a patient’s treatment course. However, they found that the effect was diminished after each successive injection. 

    Delsing, C. P., et al. (2021). Posterior drooling in children with cerebral palsy and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 63(9), 1093-1098.

    This study looked at whether Botox injections, submandibular gland excisions, and bilateral submandibular duct ligations controlled drooling in children with neurological impairments. The researchers found that all three could treat drooling. They also found that submandibular gland excisions were the most effective.   

    Riva, A., et al. (2021). Exploring treatments for drooling in children with neurological disorders. Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 21(2), 179-187.

    This study looked at the challenges of treating drooling in children with neurological disorders. The researchers reported that the lack of reliable metrics that assess safety outcomes and efficacy limited researchers from identifying the best treatments. They highlighted the need for accurate metrics to better measure drooling treatment effectiveness. 

    Speyer, R., et al. (2019). Prevalence of drooling, swallowing, and feeding problems in cerebral palsy across the lifespan: a systematic review and meta‐analyses. Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 61(11), 1249-1258.

    This systemic review determined the prevalence of drooling, swallowing, and feeding problems in people with cerebral palsy (CP) throughout their lives. The results from 42 studies showed that drooling, swallowing, and feeding problems are very common in people with CP. As such, they experience an increased risk of malnutrition and dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, and poor quality of life.

    Wang, L. et al. (2018). Drooling in cerebral palsy and its relationship with dysphagia and gross motor functioning. Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 12, 118-122.

    This article looked at the drooling incidence and severity in children with cerebral palsy to determine whether there were possible correlations with oral dyskinesia, dysphagia, and gross motor function. Researchers found that one-third of the children with cerebral palsy suffered from drooling, leading them to conclude that there is a correlation between drooling severity and cerebral palsy, oral dyskinesia, dysphagia, and GMFCS levels.

    Is Your Baby’s Drooling Normal or Excessive?

    Parents often wonder if it’s normal for their child to drool. You might notice your child’s toys are covered with saliva after playing, or you may notice a soaked shirt-collar throughout the day. The

    short answer to the question “is drooling normal?” is “sometimes.” At certain points in your child’s development, drooling is completely typical. At other points in his development, it is atypical and may require further intervention.

    Developmental stages of drooling:

    According to Morris & Klein in Pre-Feeding Skills, Second Edition, the following stages of drooling can be expected as your child develops:

    • One – three months: From one to three months of age, drooling is rare when your child is in a supine or reclining position (lying face-up), although some drooling may be noted when he is in a prone or a supported sitting position.
    • Six months: By six months of age, drooling is more controlled when your child is in supine, prone or seated. You may notice drooling as your child babbles or uses his hands to play, point or reach for objects. Drooling may also be noted as your child is teething or in response to eating particular foods.
    • Nine months: By nine months of age, drooling rarely occurs during gross motor activities, such as crawling or rolling. You may still notice drool in response to teething.
    • Fifteen months: By fifteen months of age, drooling rarely occurs during gross motor activities, such as walking and running, although you may notice some drooling during fine motor tasks, such as stacking blocks or manipulating objects. It may also continue in response to teething.
    • Eighteen months: By eighteen months of age, your child no longer drools when attempting fine motor tasks. Drooling may occur during feeding, dressing, play, or teething.
    • Twenty-four months: By twenty-four months of age, noted drooling is minimal.

    Why children drool:

    Saliva serves many necessary functions. It helps bind food together as we eat, which is important for safe swallowing. Saliva also aids in the digestion of food and helps keeps our oral cavity clean.  For the average child, unnecessary loss of saliva stops around age 4. For other children, however, it can be excessive.

    According to Morris & Klein in Pre-Feeding Skills, Second Edition, the following possible causes of excess drooling might include:

    • Teething, which results in more saliva production.
    • Poor oral sensory awareness, resulting in decreased triggering of swallowing. If a child’s face is constantly wet, he may be less responsive to sensory cues that signal a need to swallow.
    • A constant open-mouth posture, which prevents saliva from building up and triggering swallowing as needed.
    • Difficulty swallowing efficiently, which may be due to poor head and trunk control, poor jaw stability, or increased or decreased muscle tone in the lips.
    • A response to certain foods.
    • A response to motor activities that require balance.
    • A possible side effect from specific medications.

    How to help your child if he is drooling excessively:

    If you feel concerned about the frequency and amount of drool, seek help from a licensed speech-language pathologist, feeding therapist, or occupational therapist. Your child’s therapist will help you determine the underlying cause of your child’s drooling and specific interventions.

    Therapeutic interventions might include the following:

    • Increasing oral-sensory awareness to help your child better assess when his face or mouth is wet.
    • Improving head and trunk control to achieve better control of efficient swallowing.
    • Improving oral-motor control (i.e. lips, cheeks, jaw) to better manage saliva and efficient swallowing.
    • Helping your child achieve a closed mouth posture.
    • Improving your child’s ability to swallow.
    • Teaching your child about concepts such as “wet” and “dry.”

    By working with a licensed professional, you can eliminate the uncertainty you might be feeling and find answers to your questions.  Most importantly, your child will receive the help he needs to better manage how much he drools.

    Salivation in infants 1 month. Increased salivation in children

    After a newborn is born, he develops and matures every day. And parents watch the changes of the child with tenderness. However, there are a number of phenomena that can alert happy mothers. Among them is increased salivation. The fact that the drooling of a two-month-old or three-month-old child flows almost in streams, perhaps no one would have paid attention. But not a single mother can calmly look at the consequences of an increased separation of saliva in a child. Irritation of the chin and diaper rash in the folds on the neck make parents seriously think about the reasons for the increase in the amount of saliva in the baby. This phenomenon is most often observed when . Drooling flows during this period for a number of reasons, the main of which is the banal teething. However, there are more alarming factors that cause a child to drool in bubbles.

    The baby drools profusely – causes

    To understand whether it is worth panicking and running to the doctor for help, or the baby will stop drooling in a stream on its own after a while, you need to know what caused salivation. The main reasons why a two-month-old or three-month-old baby is drooling:

    Why the salivation has increased does not depend on how much the baby suffers from the consequences of constant dampness of the chin. Therefore, parents should know how to prevent them in a timely manner.

    How to help a child

    Despite the fact that most of the causes of excessive salivation in a baby cannot be corrected, every mother wants to help her child survive the problem period of his life. It can be done.

    If your baby grows and develops properly, then the appearance of increased salivation cannot be avoided. Therefore, the main thing for parents to remember is that all this is of a short-term nature, and after a few months you will not even remember how you had to constantly wipe your baby’s chin and change his clothes. And in order not to guess and make diagnoses on your own, it is better to immediately ask your local pediatrician for advice. Then both you and your baby will be calm.

    Many parents sooner or later face such a problem as excessive salivation in children. This article describes the main causes of hypersalivation and methods of dealing with it.


    What is hypersalivation?

    Increased salivation can be attributed to natural physiological processes between the ages of 2 and 8 months.

    The etiology of ptyalism can be pathological or physiological. In newborns, due to the underdevelopment of the salivary glands, salivation is absent.

    Increased salivation can be attributed to natural physiological processes between the ages of 2 and 8 months.

    If signs of hypersalivation appear at an older age, then this indicates the presence of pathological processes in the body.

    In medical practice, the following types of hypersalivation are distinguished:

    • True.
      Associated with increased secretion of the salivary glands. Depending on the etiology, there is bulbar, somatic, medicinal and psychogenic.
    • False.
      Caused by dysfunction of the physiological process of swallowing saliva.

    Important!
    With a severe degree of development of ptyalism, a violation of the integrity of the skin under the influence of the constituent components of saliva is possible.

    Causes of increased salivation in a child

    In medical practice, there are certain provoking factors for the development of hypersalivation in children of different ages.

    Among them, the most common reasons why salivation is increased are:

    Name
    Description and age
    Additional symptoms
    Teething Natural physiological process between the ages of six months and 4 years. Gradual increase in saliva production. It is characterized by constant secretion of transparent liquid saliva from the oral cavity. Whole body hyperthermia, increased tearfulness, nervousness, sleep disturbance, constant restlessness and rapid fatigue. The gums are inflamed and red, itchy and sore.
    Oral diseases Pathological condition associated with the development of inflammation in the oral cavity at any age in children. The most common diseases include stomatitis and gingivitis. Accompanied by a large secretion of saliva with white opaque inclusions. There may also be blood in the saliva. With stomatitis, ulcers are observed on the oral mucosa, which, at an advanced stage, can bleed. Also, the surface of the tongue is covered with a whitish coating and a strong pain syndrome appears.

    With gingivitis, inflammatory processes in the gum tissue are observed, accompanied by local hyperthermia, swelling and discoloration.

    Gastrointestinal diseases Can develop in a child at any age. The most commonly diagnosed pathologies in this case include: pancreatitis, peptic ulcer, enteritis, hepatitis, gastritis. Large salivation is accompanied by the following symptoms: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdominal cavity, heartburn, constipation.
    Diseases of the nervous system Abnormal development of the brain and its congenital injuries. Separate forms of cerebral palsy. Also with systematic severe stress or high psycho-emotional overexcitation. These conditions can develop at any age. Therefore, salivation increases regardless of the age category. Increased nervousness and tearfulness of the child. Inconsistency of development with the age period of the baby and his lack of correct reactions to a certain stimulus.
    Fungal infections Damage to the oral mucosa by pathogenic microorganisms and its inflammation is accompanied by increased hypersalivation. In the secreted saliva, the presence of white flakes is most often noted, which are formed during candidiasis and other fungal infections. The risk group includes children of any age category. The presence of white coating on the surface of the tongue, lack of appetite, pain when swallowing and chewing food.

    Persistent or intermittent burning and itching sensation in the mouth.

    Important!
    There are many factors that provoke increased salivation in children. Among them, it is also worth highlighting a number of neurological pathologies, diseases of the eyes and ears, as well as diphtheria.

    How to get rid of it?

    First of all, it is necessary to determine the causes of excessive salivation. If it lies in the pathology, then here you can not do without the help of a doctor and drug treatment.

    If increased salivation is a physiological process, then parents need to alleviate the condition of the baby and support him for the period of hypersalivation:

    Important!
    Self-treatment of hypersalivation in children is strictly prohibited. Only the help of a qualified specialist will help to correctly establish the etiology of the pathology, on the basis of which the appropriate treatment is prescribed.

    When is it safe and when is medical attention needed?

    When teething in children, saliva flows strongly, this physiological process does not require any therapeutic measures.

    Salivation in this situation is safe, and all actions of the mother come down to the timely replacement of bibs and clothes.

    But if such symptoms appear in young children, it is worth visiting a local pediatrician:

    Important!
    Despite the fact that one of the main causes of increased salivation is the process of teething, doctors recommend not to take risks and consult a doctor in a timely manner.

    Excessive salivation during sleep

    Children often have increased secretion of saliva at night.

    The most common such pathological conditions are:

    If damp spots are found on the child’s pillow, it is necessary to immediately undergo a consultative examination by a pediatrician.

    This symptom cannot be neglected, since hypersalivation is often a symptom of many serious pathologies.

    Important!
    Nocturnal hypersalivation is a great danger to the life of the child, especially the baby. This is due to the risk of choking on saliva in a dream. To prevent death, the child should be laid on its side during sleep.

    At first glance, increased salivation in a child may seem like a minor problem that will eventually go away on its own. But, this is far from a misconception.

    Physiological hypersalivation certainly exists, but the pathological form of this pathology does not sleep. Therefore, you should not risk the health of the child, and if the slightest signs appear, you should go to the doctor.

    Newborns often produce a lot of saliva from the mouth. He constantly sucks his fists and fingers, and his parents begin to worry. Some expect the eruption of the first teeth, while others associate it with some kind of disease. As a rule, few adults know that all babies from birth and by about 8 months still do not know how to swallow saliva. Such a physiological process, which can be observed both day and night, is quite natural. The main thing is to find out the reason and understand why a 2-month-old baby is drooling.


    Causes

    If profuse salivation was noticed at 2 months, do not rush to see a doctor. At this age, the baby shows interest in his little hands, constantly putting them in his mouth, causing a salivation reflex. Parents immediately look into the child’s mouth and see if he is teething. But it is still very early for the appearance of teeth, usually they begin to appear after 5-6 months.

    In infants, it performs several basic functions for the body:

    • Remineralizing
      – protection for tooth enamel.
    • Protective
      – permanent hydration of the oral mucosa, reduces the risk of its drying out, and also helps to remove microorganisms.
    • Digestive function
      – enzymes present in saliva contribute to the rapid digestion of food.

    What to do when a newborn drools profusely?

    The cause must be determined before any preventive action can be taken. To do this, the mother should carefully examine the mouth of her child for possible inflammation. If there is no redness inside the oral cavity, then it may be a possible cause. Abundant salivation can be observed both in a 2-month-old baby and in older children.

    Main symptoms:

    • clogged nasal passage
    • it is very difficult for the child to breathe.

    In addition, when the first teeth erupt in babies, abundant saliva effectively reduces pain. During this period, more than ever, the baby needs to frequently change children’s clothes (suits and underwear), as well as use bibs. After all, from excess moisture, the baby’s chin can get irritated.

    If the baby has a rash under the lower lip, then buy special baby creams in the pharmacy that contain vitamins E and A.

    When to consult a specialist

    A loud cough or wheezing in the chest is one of the signs of increased salivation in infants. In such cases, the mother needs to turn her child on her tummy so that the fluid does not accumulate in his larynx.

    If salivation alternates in duration, it is better to contact your pediatrician in order to avoid an infectious exacerbation.

    In most cases, this can cause serious illness, such as hypersalivation. It rapidly affects the nervous system of the child, and in some cases, contributes to the development of mental illness.

    Advice is important!
    Only with a thorough examination, a pediatrician can determine the cause and only after that, prescribe an effective treatment.

    If a 2-3 month old baby drools heavily from the mouth, then you shouldn’t worry too much. After all, this is a natural physiological development, which can be observed up to 1-1.5 years.
    Over time, the baby will outgrow, and all worries will go away!

    When, this not only causes a lot of trouble, but can also be a cause for alarm. Mothers often wonder what to do if the baby is drooling? Should I be worried? How to help your child?

    What is saliva used for?

    First, let’s figure out why saliva is needed at all? In fact, it is a very important liquid, without which our life would become much more difficult, because saliva:

    • moisturizes the oral mucosa. Thanks to her, it is easier for us to speak, and food, getting into the mouth, does not damage the delicate mucous membrane;
    • is a natural protective barrier that makes it difficult for bacteria to enter the gastrointestinal tract. It is especially important to know this for mothers of those children who drag everything into their mouths;
    • Enzymes contained in saliva start the process of digestion. The initial breakdown of food occurs already in the mouth;
    • helps to chew and swallow food, prepares it for assimilation at subsequent stages.

    Why does a newborn drool?

    Excessive salivation in infants is quite natural. It is not a symptom of disease or developmental anomalies, but accompanies the processes of maturation of the salivary glands or teething.

    When a child is born, he practically does not need saliva: the food he eats in infancy has a liquid consistency and does not require grinding.

    As development progresses, towards the end of the first month of life, salivation increases. Thus, the salivary glands mature, form and prepare to work in full force to ensure the normal absorption of food. At this time, saliva begins to flow more than usual. This is due not so much to its large amount, but to the inability to swallow it, since the child still cannot control the movements of the tongue, cheeks and throat to the right extent. Therefore, saliva pours out of the oral cavity, and the baby begins to play with it, making
    bubbles.

    Later, when the baby is more or less able to swallow saliva, a new stage of development begins: . The gums loosen, all this is accompanied by pain, and starts again. The same thing happens during the start of complementary foods. Saliva helps with swallowing food and getting used to new foods that have a texture that is still unfamiliar to the child.

    What should I do if my baby is drooling?

    In a baby who drools too much, due to constant moisture and the influence of digestive enzymes contained in saliva, it may appear on the chin. You should protect delicate skin by lubricating it with olive oil or cream, especially when you go for a walk. Keep soft tissues handy and wipe your child’s face. Put your baby on a bib and change it often.

    If the skin is still inflamed, the child should be taken to the doctor. It may be that an infection has occurred, and this requires prompt treatment.

    Should I be concerned about excessive saliva?

    Excessive salivation can also be a sign of impaired swallowing, decrease

    Very often young parents have questions: “Why does a child constantly drool? Is there a danger to the health of the little man? When do you need to see a doctor? Let’s figure it out in this article.

    Causes of excessive salivation in babies up to 2 years of age

    The phenomenon when a child drools heavily may be due to physiological and pathological factors. How to visually distinguish the disease from the normal state?

    5 reasons why it is not dangerous

    Why does the baby drool and is this phenomenon common? If the baby is not sick, this condition is caused by the following factors:
    1

    Insufficient formation of gland functions
    , responsible for the production and separation of saliva. Too intense work of the salivation system leads to the fact that the child does not have time to swallow a lot of liquid, which is why it begins to flow out of the oral cavity.

    Increased salivation in children under one year old is not a dangerous physiological phenomenon that appears periodically

    2

    A 2 month old baby is drooling for the following reason:
    . This is due to the normal physiology of the development of the baby.
    3

    If the child is 3 months old, drooling because soon they will start. Moving them inside the gums causes irritation, itching, and pain. The inflammatory process is stopped by an increased volume of fluid. In this case, saliva provides a protective function. may last up to 3 years.
    4

    In infancy, the baby’s saliva, containing the mother’s antibodies, serves as a protective barrier against infectious agents
    : viruses, bacteria, other pathogenic microorganisms. The increased release of biofluid is triggered by the body’s immune system to counteract the infection of the baby with the flu and other diseases.
    5

    In cases of profuse salivation in formula-fed babies, increased fluid separation is explained by the instinctive normalization of the digestive process
    . Saliva enzymatically promotes the breakdown and absorption of milk.

    Krishtaleva N.A., pediatrician, Polyclinic Virmed LLC, Tula

    When asked why a child drools, I answer that such a phenomenon is usually temporary, due to physiological reasons, and lasts until the age of 2 years.

    But in order to exclude a serious anatomical or infectious pathology, it is necessary to show the baby to an otolaryngologist.

    Mandatory medical examinations of infants by a pediatrician cannot be avoided, no matter what queues line up in polyclinics.

    Birth defects in which saliva is secreted in large volumes, and the child is not able to swallow it in a timely manner, are usually diagnosed by doctors in the maternity hospital. However, if the doctors “missed”, consultations of a surgeon, neurologist, pediatrician will help to avoid dangerous consequences.

    If, with increased saliva, the baby does not have symptoms of infection: fever, sneezing, rhinitis, inflammation of the mucous eyes, gums, throat, then this phenomenon is not dangerous. It is necessary to get wet and wash the cheeks, chin in a timely manner, lubricate them with special baby creams.

    7 dangerous causes that require special attention

    The body of each tiny human is already a unique biocomputer that independently launches self-preservation programs. Abundant salivation in a child is almost always a defense reaction.

    Manifested in the following diseases:
    1

    Thrush
    . The causative agent is Candida fungus that affects the oral mucosa. Symptoms: against the background of strong salivation, there is an increase in temperature, as well as the appearance of cheesy, gums, inner parts of the cheeks.

    In order for the child not to injure his gums with dangerous objects, it is necessary to buy toys – teethers for the period of teeth growth

    2

    Diseases of the central nervous system
    . With cerebral palsy, other pathologies of brain activity, increased salivation occurs along with impaired motor coordination and speech. Accompanied by fainting, general weakness of the child, convulsive manifestations are possible.
    3

    Helminthiasis
    . The presence is indicated by nightly strong salivation in a child. Other symptoms: and snoring during sleep, itching in the groin and anus. Read more information about the first signs and symptoms of worms in children.
    4

    SARS, influenza, tonsillitis, other infectious diseases
    are characterized by profuse salivation against the background of high fever, runny nose, coughing, sneezing.
    5

    Stomatitis
    . The nature of inflammatory processes of stomatitis is diverse. can develop with a fungal, bacterial, viral infection of the baby. Increased salivation in infants aged 2 months and older is accompanied by the formation of vesicles, vesicles, and sores on the mucous membrane. The child is in such severe pain that he cannot chew or swallow.

    Freiman I.L., Head of the Consultative and Diagnostic Polyclinic of the Regional Clinical Children’s Hospital, Krasnoyarsk

    Symptoms of excessive salivation can also be caused by salivary glands. The pediatrician determines the initial signs of illness in children. To exclude other pathologies, you need to check with a dentist, ENT doctor, neurologist.

    It is in the first year of life that the pathology is easier to determine, the symptom of which is profuse salivation in a child.

    6

    Hyperreactivity of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract
    . If a child drools after walking on the lawn, garden during the flowering of meadow, cereal grasses, or birch, poplar – this may indicate.
    7

    Drug, food, cosmetic intoxication
    often cause increased salivation. Concomitant symptoms: redness of the face, body, swelling of the mucous membranes.

    There are many other very dangerous diseases, the symptom of which is increased salivation. As a result of status asthmaticus, the child may suddenly begin to choke. An accurate diagnosis can only be established by a pediatrician, do not postpone his visit until tomorrow, as delay can lead to serious consequences.

    What can parents do

    How to alleviate the baby’s condition if the newborn is constantly drooling:

    1. Tie up a bib so that the vest does not get wet and does not rub the baby’s neck and chest.
    2. Sometimes a pacifier saves. It activates the swallowing process. How to wean a child from a dummy, read.
    3. Be sure to remove the leaked saliva from the child’s body in a timely manner, then moisten the skin with a hypoallergenic baby cream.
    4. If a one-month-old baby is drooling non-stop due to indigestion, lay him on his tummy more often.
    5. When teething, to reduce itching and inflammation of the gums, the baby should be allowed to bite a baby “teether” – a toy made of silicone.

    Each child’s toy must be disinfected in a timely manner – this will protect against infectious infections.

    How to avoid irritation from saliva on the face, neck of a child

    The most common reason why a child drools is teething. How to prevent the formation of rashes, pimples and red spots on the neck, chin, neck of the baby:

    Saliva flowing from the mouth collects under the pacifier and causes irritation on the chin


    • ;
    • change bibs and blouses more often;
    • if a 1-month-old baby is drooling, place a clean diaper at the head of the crib to absorb liquid;
    • lubricate the face, neck, breast with baby oil, cream.

    To feed the baby, cook food that does not damage the gums, soft structure, viscous consistency.

    Methods of treatment

    In the old days, vegetable oil boiled in a water bath was the best cure for any kind of irritation. Today, a doctor may recommend a special baby powder for the skin, or an ointment.

    List of medicines:

    • Bepanthen – cream for irritation, diaper rash of various etiologies;
    • Weleda – herbal cream;
    • Pantestin – a means for disinfecting the skin and rapid cell regeneration;
    • Biolan – for the treatment of severe irritation.

    For a list of medications your baby needs, see .

    When a child drools endlessly and develops a rash, irritations, among the most effective medicines, doctors single out Sanosan, Sudocrem, Bubchen creams. Means have anti-inflammatory, disinfectant properties. Instantly reduce itching, dry the skin, normalize metabolic processes, contribute to the restoration of the epithelium.

    If a baby develops a rash on the cheeks, neck, chin, the cause of irritation is not necessarily the constant flow of saliva
    . This may be a symptom of one of the dangerous diseases: measles, chickenpox, rubella, and others. An urgent medical diagnosis is needed.

    What does profuse salivation in a child over 2 years old mean?

    The main purpose of saliva in the body is a protective function. Its increased education most often indicates the appearance of factors that need to be urgently eliminated:

    1. Stomatitis.
    2. Viral (or bacterial, fungal) infections in the mouth, nose, ears.
    3. Violation of the digestive tract.
    4. Allergy.
    5. Worms.

    It is impossible to independently determine the etiology of a disease in which a child drools at 2 years and older
    . Each of them is treated differently.

    Gribovskaya E.G., pediatrician, Children’s City Hospital No. 4, Omsk

    Symptoms – dry mouth, increased salivation may indicate a cytomegalovirus infection (herpes). Contact your doctor immediately.

    The sooner the fight against the disease is started, the more successful the treatment will be. Infectious diseases are especially dangerous, which lead to terrible consequences.

    Call your doctor immediately in any case of a suspiciously large amount of saliva on the background of vomiting, fever, diarrhea, fainting child.

    Without consulting a doctor, it is dangerous to use some folk remedies – this can cause irreparable harm to the child.

    Terminals

    If hypersalivation without concomitant symptoms of an infectious disease in a baby does not stop when he reaches 2 years of age, and the pediatrician cannot answer anything specific, be sure to undergo a full examination by doctors of a narrow specialization.

    Why drooling in a child of 3 years and older can be found out from an ENT doctor, a neurologist, and determined using tests from an allergist-immunologist. Self-treatment according to the recipes of grandmothers, girlfriends, promotions from the TV is unacceptable.

    causes and treatment at Zoostatus

    Causes
    Diagnosis
    Treatment
    Prevention

    Strong salivation (hypersalivation, ptyalism) – abundant salivation from the oral cavity. It can be both the norm for many cats and a symptom of some diseases. Usually hypersalivation looks like foaming at the mouth, or like long strings of saliva hanging from the cat’s mouth. Sometimes it appears simply as a wet spot around the mouth and neck. If a cat is drooling, this is not necessarily a symptom of the disease.

    Slight and occasional salivation may be normal if:

    • the cat is agitated,
    • cat sees food,
    • the cat is in conditions with high temperature and humidity,
    • as a reaction to the introduction of bitter preparations into the mouth (for example, tablets for worms).

    If your cat is drooling and refuses to eat, appears lethargic, or changes in behavior, it is worth taking her to a veterinarian to diagnose problems that may be causing excessive salivation.

    There are many reasons why a cat drools.

    Often the cat drools in diseases of the oral cavity:

    • Stomatitis (inflammatory disease of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity)
    • Gingivitis (gum disease)
    • Injury to the mouth or tongue (for example, due to swallowing or simply biting foreign sharp objects)
    • Insect bites on the tongue
    • Ingestion of irritating substances (household chemicals, antifreeze, drugs)
    • Oral ulcers (for CKD in cats, for calicivirus)
    • Oral tumors
    • Tartar in a cat
    • Foreign bodies in the mouth
    • Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth due to feline leukemia or immunodeficiency disease

    Neurological disorders can also cause salivation. For example, with rabies (when a cat drools from its mouth, this is considered one of the symptoms of rabies, and if the animal is not vaccinated, a cat with such a symptom is not allowed to be admitted to a veterinary clinic. Therefore, we recommend that you follow the vaccination schedule for your pets in order to be able to provide them timely assistance, even if they are kept only in the apartment and do not go anywhere).

    When a cat is drooling, it may be a sign of nausea. Nausea in a cat can be caused by foreign objects in the gastrointestinal tract, other causes of digestive disorders, helminthic invasion, viral infection (panleukopenia, coronavirus enteritis in cats are often accompanied by nausea).

    Cats may also drool with breathing problems, such as pulmonary edema, which require emergency attention.

    Since there are many reasons why a cat drools from the mouth, it is necessary to conduct a diagnosis.

    Often the diagnosis can be made immediately after a thorough examination of the mouth and teeth. Depending on the results of the examination of the cat by the veterinarian and the collection of anamnesis, additional diagnostics may be required:

    • X-ray of the oral cavity, plain X-ray.
    • Biochemical analysis of cat blood.
    • Clinical blood test (to exclude acute inflammation and other possible pathologies).
    • Analysis for calicivirus.
    • Blood tests for chronic feline viral infections.

    Depending on the cause and diagnosis, different methods of treating the original problem are possible:

    • Oral sanitation, tartar removal – this procedure is recommended to be done regularly, even in the absence of symptoms.
    • Removal of a foreign body in a cat (can be performed under anesthesia).
    • Antibiotics and NSAIDs for the treatment of inflammation in the oral cavity.
    • Droppers for cats with vomiting, lack of appetite.
    • Removal of neoplasm in the mouth of a cat.
    • Antiemetics for nausea and vomiting.
    • Treatment of mouth ulcers.

    To prevent infection with viral infections and rabies, it is recommended to vaccinate animals. Domestic cats (even if they are fully vaccinated) should not go outside and have contact with wild animals. It is also recommended to treat animals from helminths every 3-4 months.

    The cat must not have access to poisonous plants, insects, sharp objects. Do not feed your cat bones and whole fish.

    Cats older than 8-9 years old should be checked by a veterinarian so that the owner can prevent possible problems in older animals.
