Nyeri, pembengkakan, gangguan fungsi sendi dan jaringan sekitar, merupakan beberapa gejala rematik. Rematik ini bisa menyerang siapa saja, dan diagnosis yang tepat amat dibutuhkan untuk proses penyembuhannya karena rematik ini banyak jenisnya.Wanita yang menyusui bayinya dalam jangka waktu yang lama, ternyata punya peluang lebih kecil terkena penyakit rematik. Demikian kabar terbaru dari media online Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, British Medical Journal.
Penelitian ini mencoba membandingkan 136 wanita penderita rematik dengan 544 wanita seusia yang tak menderita penyakit tersebut. Hasilnya, didapati kelompok wanita yang menyusui lebih lama ternyata beresiko lebih kecil terkena rematik. Secara rinci, wanita yang menyusui 12 bulan atau lebih berpeluang 50 persen lebih kecil terkena rematik dibandingkan yang tak menyusui sama sekali. Sedangkan yang menyusui 1-12 bulan bisa menurunkan risiko terkena penyakit tersebut sebesar 25 persen.
Sebaliknya, yang hanya menyusui selama enam bulan keatas, risiko terkena rematik mengalami peningkatan secara drastis.

Constructing Your Child's Healthy Sense of Self Esteem
Your child's self esteem is their mental foundation. A self-assured child is confident, secure, happy, well-adjusted and successful. They can solve problems that come their way, and it thrives under a loving parent's nurturing care.
What are some good ways to built self esteem in your child?
Most importantly, accept your child for who they are, and help them do the same. Teach your child that nobody is perfect, and that everyone makes mistakes. Show them how to learn and grow from their mistakes, and let them know that you also make mistakes. Children with high self esteem are able to take lessons from mistakes and apply them down the road. A child with low self esteem become frustrated and resort to self-depreciating behavior, such as calling themselves 'stupid' and vowing to 'never try that again.
Help your child discover their abilities and talents, and encourage outlets for them to build on and improve them. Praise a child not only for improvements in abilities and skills, but also for the traits they naturally possess.
Encourage your child to make positive choices. Open an honest dialog with your child and discuss the possibilities with them. Children who learn skills for making positive choices when they are younger are well-prepared for the tougher choices they have to make when they are older.
Ensure that you spend lots of quality time with your child, at least once a week. Whether you are shooting baskets or going out to grab a hamburger, take time to talk and keep in touch. If you find it difficult to squeeze in quality time during a hectic week, take the time to talk about things during the drive to school or while they are helping you put the groceries away.
