Teaching Your Child Healthy Hair Care Habits

When animals are present, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have lower readings on a device that detects anxiety and other forms of social arousal when interacting with their peers. According to a study, companion animals — like dogs, cats or the guinea pigs in the study –may prove to be a helpful addition to treatment programs designed to help children with ASDs improve their social skills and interactions with other people.

TV food commercials disproportionately stimulate the brains of overweight teenagers, including the regions that control pleasure, taste and — most surprisingly — the mouth, suggesting they mentally simulate unhealthy eating habits that make it difficult to lose weight later in life.
