Cancer begins in cells that form tissues in the body. Normally, new cells are formed as needed to replace old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells form that are not needed and old cells do not die when they should. The excess cells can form a tumor. Benign tumors are not cancer, but the evil itself. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues or spread and spread to other parts of the body.

Children can get cancer in the same body parts as adults, but there are differences. Childhood cancers can occur suddenly, without early symptoms, and have a high cure rate. The most common cancer in children is leukemia. Other cancers that affect children include: brain tumors , lymphoma and soft tissue sarcoma .Symptoms and treatment depend on the type of cancer and how advanced the disease is.

The dental care of a disabled child requires, above all, understanding and professional support. Two key starting points to get proper treatment.

The care of children with disabilities is a not always accepted by the dentist. You may not feel able to resolve the problem. Perhaps for fear of damage or be damaged. Or not being able to overcome emotional reactions to his or her parents.

The parents of these children tend to spend progressively feelings and reactions of confusion, frustration, guilt, bitterness, envy, overprotection, rejection, and resignation. They need the support and understanding of all specialists (including the dentist) and, of course, be addressed without constraints in each of the visits.

It is, without doubt, a different child, in whom certain capabilities to perform activities within what is considered “normal” are decreased or missing.

How much impact TV has on children depends on many factors: how much they watch, their age and personality, whether they watch alone or with adults, and whether their parents talk with them about what they see on TV.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old not watch any TV and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day of quality programming. To minimize the potential negative effects of television, it’s important to understand what the impact of television can be on children.

- Violence
Many violent acts are perpetrated by the “good guys,” whom kids have been taught to emulate. Even though kids are taught by their parents that it’s not right to hit, television says it’s OK to bite, hit, or kick if you’re the good guy. This can lead to confusion when kids try to understand the difference between right and wrong. And even the “bad guys” on TV aren’t always held responsible or punished for their actions.

Three potential responses to media violence in children:
- Increased fear—also known as the “mean and scary world” syndrome
- Desensitization to real-life violence
- Increased aggressive behaviour
