Question 2

I'm really struggling with my son when it comes to studying. Every time I ask him to focus on his studies, he starts crying and becomes extremely impatient. It seems like he's not at all interested, and he lacks the patience to learn anything new. Because of this, he isn't able to do things properly and often won't even attempt them. How can I help him become more interested and patient with learning?

Question 3

My 3-month-old niece in the US was diagnosed with laryngomalacia and doctors recommended surgery, but I've read it might improve on its own over time. Should we wait or go ahead with the surgery?

Accepted Answer

Many infants with laryngomalacia are able to eat and grow normally, and the condition will resolve without surgery by the time they are around 20 months old. However, a small percentage of babies do struggle with breathing, eating, and weight gain, and their symptoms require immediate treatment.

I'm really worried right now. My child has a tummy worm and it's biting her constantly. It's 2 in the morning, and she's crying so much. I don't know what to do at home to help her. Any advice?
