Smartphone Adjuncts
Of course you could use your phone as a reflex hammer, but that is just not as exciting as having a few gadgets and gizmos on hand. So if you are looking for a medical gift or something to put on your wish list you might consider some of these ideas that are sure to draw some attention from your coworkers. Many of these have either received FDA approval or are in the process of doing so and will be available for purchase soon.

Question of the Week
A mother brings in her 3 year old child for a well-baby office visit. She is concerned her child is not progressing normally because he has not memorized his own name, address and phone number? You explain that children are expected to obtain these skills at which of the following ages?
A. 12 months
B. 3 years
C. 5 years
D. 7 years
E. 9 years
Answer & Explanation
i have a niece who will turn 5 years old this October. At the moment, she already memorized her name and address but not yet with phone number. So I think at 5 years old, normal children already have good memory skills. By the way, my niece also knows the complete names of her mother, father, brother, and even our (immediate relative) names.
ReplyDeleteNanei, she sounds very intelligent. It seems that some children are ahead of the curve and others slightly behind. This question just looks at the expected level of memory children should have by a certain age. There are so many ways to measure development that it can be hard to remember them all. Thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteGreat to read these kind of blogs with much interesting and amazing information.Just saying thanks will not be enough for good clarity on your work..
ReplyDeleteI have meet up with my friend 3days ago and we had a good time and talked about his child. I don't know if its true and still wondering, is it true that a 2 years old child can count numbers, do basic addition and subtraction and sing the alphabet letters? the kid also can memorize the photos in the alphabet. by the way the child's name was Diana.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I suppose anything is possible, but at 2 years of age, this is not the performance one would expect.
