4¡¢Common Preschool Problems
¡ñ Constipation: a very common and frustrating problem in children. It is usually defined as the passage of hard and painful stools or going four or more days without a bowel movement. Constiption is most commonly caused by a diet that is low in fiber, but can also be caused by drinking too much milk (more than 16 to 24oz/d), not drinking enough water or waiting too long to go to the bathroom. Initial treatment is increasing the amount of fluids he drinks and increasing the amount of fiber and bran in his diet. It is usually also helpful to decrease the amount of constipating foods in his diet, including cow\'s milk, yogurt, cheese, cooked carrots, and bananas. Stool softeners may be necessary if these steps don\'t work.
¡ñ Upper Respiratory Infections: these are very common and include symptoms of a clear or green runny nose and cough and are usually caused by cold viruses. The best treatment is to use salt water nasal drops and a bulb suctioner to keep their nose clear. Call your Pediatrician if your child has high fever, difficulty breathing or is not improving in 7-10 days
¡ñ Vomiting: usually accompanies diarrhea as part of a viral infection. If your child starts vomiting, it is best to give them a break from eating and drinking for an hour or so and then start to give small amounts of Pedialyte (1 teaspoon) every five or ten minutes. Once your child is able to tolerate drinking these small amounts you can increase the Pedialyte to about a tablespoon every five or ten minutes and then larger amounts as tolerated and then change back to his regular formula. Avoid giving just Pedialyte for more than 12 hours. Call your Pediatrician if the vomit has blood in it, if it is dark green, or if your child is showing signs of dehydration (which includes not urinating in 6-8 hours, having a dry mouth and weight loss).
¡ñ Diarrhea: a common problem and is often caused by a viral infection. Call your Pediatrician if the diarrhea has blood or pus in it, if it is not getting better in 1-2 weeks or if you see signs of dehydration (which includes not urinating in 6-8 hours, having a dry mouth and weight loss). You should continue with their regular diet, but may give 1-2 ounces of Pedialyte each time that he has large diarrhea stool to prevent dehydration.
5¡¢Taking Your Child to your Pediatrician
At the three year checkup, you can expect:
¡ñ An examination of your preschooler\'s growth and development.
¡ñ A review of feeding and sleep schedules.
¡ñ Measurement of his height, weight and blood pressure.
¡ñ Counseling for injury prevention, dental health, and a proper diet.
¡ñ A discussion of toilet training progress.
¡ñ Immunizations: a review of your child\'s immunizations to make sure they are up to date. If they are, the next immunizations will be his four year boosters.
¡ñ Screening test: vision test.

Your Four Year Old - What You Need To Know
1¡¢Preschool Nutrition
Your child\'s nutrition is important to his overall health. Proper nutrition, which should include eating three meals a day and two nutritious snacks, limiting high sugar and high fat foods, eating fruits, vegetables, lean meats and low fat dairy products, including 3 servings of milk, cheese or yogurt to meet their calcium needs can also prevent many medical problems, including becoming overweight, developing weak bones, and developing diabetes. It will also ensure that your child physically grows to his full potential.
The best nutrition advise to keep your child healthy includes encouraging him to:
¡ñ Eat a variety of foods
¡ñ Balance the food you eat with physical activity
¡ñ Choose a diet with plenty of grain products, vegetables and fruits
¡ñ Choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol
¡ñ Choose a diet moderate in sugars and salt
¡ñ Choose a diet that provides enough calcium and iron to meet their growing body\'s requirements
You can also help promote good nutrition by setting a good example. Healthy eating habits and regular exercise should be a regular part of your family\'s life. It is much easier if everyone in the house follows these guidelines, than if your child has to do it alone. You should also buy low-calorie and low-fat meals, snacks and deserts, low fat or skim milk and diet drinks. Avoid buying high calorie deserts or snacks, such as snack chips, regular soft drinks or regular ice cream.
The Food Guide Pyramid for young children was designed by the US Dept. of Agriculture to promote healthy nutrition in children over two years of age. It is meant to be a general guide to daily food choices. The main emphasis of the food pyramid is on the five major food groups, all of which are required for good health. It also emphasises that foods that include a lot of fats, oils and sweets should be used very sparingly.
