It depends. Asthma usually gets much better in adolescence, so a child with mild asthma might have no symptoms as a teenager, and a child with serious asthma symptoms will have fewer problems as a teenager. However, in many cases the child's lungs may still be inflamed, as shown on lung function tests. In these cases, asthma may return in later life, usually in the 30's or 40's. Experts don't know why that is.

Most children will outgrow their epilepsy but it is hard for doctors to predict which ones. Children who have normal development, a normal EEG, and no seizures while they're taking medication have the best chance. So do children with certain types of epilepsy that are usually outgrown. These include the reflex epilepsies and benign rolandic epilepsy. Children with benign rolandic epilepsy routinely stop medications after age 15.

Most children outgrow their food allergies after avoiding eating the foods for a time. Fewer, however, outgrow their allergies to peanuts and tree nuts.

While some children's asthma symptoms do seem to improve with time, most children with asthma do not outgrow it. Asthma attacks are triggered by a variety of things. It is important to learn what triggers your child's asthma as this may enable you to help prevent attacks. In children, the most common triggers are exposure to cigarette smoke, colds and infections, and environmental allergies (dust, pollens, pets).

No. It is important to note that dyslexics can learn to read and write more efficiently. Although reading and writing may be challenging for life, many dyslexics achieve their dreams through hard work and determination. They start companies, compete athletically, and achieve greatness in the art world, acting, and many other professions. See famous people with dyslexia on the page entitled, “What is Dyslexia?”

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty affecting a person's ability to deal with text, and often numbers as well. Dyslexia is estimated to occur in about 8% of the population. Similar to color blindness, it is a permanent disability which needs continuous support through schooling. It is often accompanied by strengths in areas such as creative work, physical co-ordination and empathy with other people.

This is a common misconception. A child will not outgrow crossed-eyes. In fact, the condition may get worse without treatment.

Anxiety is the most frequent emotional symptom reported by dyslexics. They become fearful due to the failures and confusion experienced in school. This anxiety causes the dyslexic individual to avoid schoolwork and assignments. Parents and teachers may misinterpret this avoidance behaviour as laziness. However, this avoidance is related more to anxiety and confusion than to apathy. A key component of the Remediation Plus System is that the approach is emotionally sound.

Scenic Land offers a free screening for dyslexia. Call or email the school to schedule an appointment for this free service. If the screening determines that your child is at-risk for dyslexia, the school can assess your child using a battery of nationally normed tests to determine if he or she meet the criteria for a diaganosis.

A child's interest in many things comes and goes. The same may occur with fire. However, each time a child misuses fire, they are at great risk for injury or to cause damage. It is far too dangerous a behavior to ignore until "it runs its course." Immediate steps must be taken to address the behavior and bring it to a stop. Intervention programs are designed to do just that.

A child rarely outgrows strabismus once it has developed. Without treatment, strabismus can cause permanent vision problems. For example, if the child is not using one eye because it is misaligned, he or she can develop poor vision in that eye (called "lazy eye" or amblyopia). A newborn's eyes may initially be misaligned, but the eyes should become aligned by 3 to 4 months of age.

We used to think children would "grow out" of ADHD. We now know that is not true for most children. Symptoms of ADHD often get better as children grow older and learn to adjust. Hyperactivity usually stops in the late teenage years. But about half of children who have ADHD continue to be easily distracted, have mood swings, hot tempers and are unable to complete tasks.

Answer: There is simply no way to determine this. The statistics are that 90% of people who develop Eczema do so before the age of 5. In 40% - 60% of these children, Eczema persists beyond puberty and into adulthood. However, the good news is that many infants with Eczema improve by age 2 and about 40% of children with Eczema outgrow it by the time they are young adults. Since there is no way to predict the outcome for your child, it is imperative to control Eczema now.

There are two types of dyslexia. It is either brought about by early ear infections which caused temporary hearing problems (acquired dyslexia) or though congenital and developmental traits (developmental dyslexia). Its cause has not been fully established, but the effect is to create neurological anomalies in the brain. These anomalies bring about varying degrees of difficulty in learning when using words, and sometimes symbols.

Each dyslexic person's difficulties are different and vary from slight to very severe disruption of the learning process. There is no total cure, but the effects of dyslexia can be alleviated by skilled specialist teaching of phonics, sequencing and techniques to raise the person's self-esteem. The neurological differences also give some dyslexic people visual, spatial, physical co-ordination and lateral thinking abilities that enable them to be successful in a wide range of careers.
