My son will be 3 years by this March 10th 2009. Intially he was in play school and got promoted to Pre-School because of his performance. He is currently studying in a Montessori school. While he enter LKG he will be 3 Years and 3 Months old. I am planning to put him in a ICSE or CBSE school from First Standard. Heard that for CBSE kids entering LKG should have completed 3 Years and 6 Months. R they very strict about it. Will it impact him while appearing for 10th public exam since he is in lack of 3 Months.

Oh YES! They are strict. My son will be 3 yrs this december. I went to chinmaya school today to get the application and they strictly said they cant give application for him as their cut off is the child should be 3.5 yrs by 1st june 2007. So the kids who are born before 10th dec 2005 only can apply for lkg. They are not even giving application forms. My son lacks just 1 month for june admission but... what to do? Actually I didn't think about this 10th std concept. I vaguely remember that they kid should be 15 yrs to write 10th exam. From morning i've been thinking only about this. My son will get bored if I put him in pre-kg next june. He is a quick learner :(

Thanks for your reply bhraman. Even i am really worried about this. Wasting a year is not a matter. But these kids will not get much input as per their learning capacity.

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Trust this finds u in best of health.

I am a mother of 2 kids. daughter age 6 and son 22 months. my concern is my son. its been a couple of months now, he blabbers alot. there are a few words i can understand but most of the time he blabbers or talks baby talk to himself or to us. he can say mamma, dadda, come, more (if he wants more to eat) numnum for food, the word no, his sister's name very recently. he loves to sing rhymes. but he cant prenounce the words perfectly but say he is 4 out of 10. the melody is perfect. it was all very adorable but sometimes its very worrying to hear him blabber. i wonder if it is normal. i am quite anxious to know cause i did not experience this with my daughter. infact she started talking really well by this time. please advise. Thanks for reading.

Best regards

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
