So-called behavioral insomnia , where a young child regularly resists bedtime or has trouble staying asleep, is common -- seen in up to 30 percent of children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. A similar percentage have problems at mealtime, ranging from being an overly "fussy" eater to having a full-fledged " feeding disorder" - in which, for instance, parents can't get their child to follow any regular eating schedule, or the food refusal affects a child's weight.

I don't practice yoga. And even then, a wandering mind has been a problem since time immemorial . Did you hear what I'm saying, or is your mind wandering ? Joke! Now, stay with me, will yah? ----- WASHINGTON - Maybe you should listen to that yoga teacher who counsels you to stay in the moment. A US study out Thursday suggests that people spend about half of their time thinking about being somewhere else, or doing something other than what they are doing, and this perpetual act of mind-wandering makes them unhappy. "A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind," wrote psychologists Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert of Harvard University in the journal Science. "The ability to think about what is not happening is a cognitive achievement that comes at an emotional cost." The study tracked 2,250 people via the trendy iPhone gadgets using an application, or app, that contacted volunteers at "random interva...
