The answers to the top 10 questions most parents have about their kidsThe answers to the top 10 questions most parents have about their kids

Parents have a lot of questions about their kids, such as why they bite, or why kids lie. Here are the answers to the top 10 questions parents have!

Have you ever wondered why your kid likes to bite? Or maybe you're wondering why kids lie? Have you ever thought why kids need so much sleep? These are just some of the questions parents have about their kids.

Here's a list of the top 10 questions parents have about their children, and their children's behavior and the surprising answers!

1. Why do some kids bite?

Kids aren't really good at communicating their feelings, and biting can sometimes be a means for kids to deal with their emotions.

In some cases, it can also be a way for them to seek attention, especially if they notice that adults give them attention if they bite.

2. Why do kids lie?

A lot of kids lie, and it can be due to a number of reasons. Sometimes, kids are at a learning stage, and they're experimenting with lying.

But for the most part, it's because they know that they did something wrong, so they're afraid to be caught or they're afraid that they will be scolded. It can also sometimes be a way for them to seek attention.

3. Why do kids seem so angry sometimes?

If kids feel tired, neglected, overwhelmed, or if they feel that nobody understands them, they tend to get angry.

Especially young children don't really have a lot of control over their feelings, and anger can sometimes be a way for them to express themselves.

For older kids, anger can also be a sign of depression or stress.

4. Why do they need so much sleep?

Kids need a lot of sleep since their body secretes growth hormones during sleep that helps boost their development.

Getting adequate amounts of sleep can help kids concentrate better in school, learn better, strengthens their immune system, and has also been linked to lower levels of obesity.

5. Why do some kids get warts?

Yup, even kids can get warts. And just like adults, kids get warts because of a viral infection. For the most part, warts are harmless, and don't really cause any problems aside from being unsightly.

6. Why do some kids steal?

Children have poor impulse control, so sometimes kids aren't able to stop themselves from stealing.

For older kids, it can sometimes be a result of peer pressure, as they might be trying to "act cool" by stealing.

7. Why does my kid wet the bed?

It's normal for kids to wet the bed, especially during potty training.

It can also be attributed to drinking too much water before going to sleep, or in some rare cases, anxiety.

8. Why is their poo green?

For the most part, green poo isn't something that parents should be worried too much about. Eating a lot of leafy greens can sometimes cause it, and some types of formula milk can cause kids to have green poo.

However, there are some cases wherein it's a sign of bowel infection. If your child has other symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting alongside green poo, then it would be best to take them to a doctor.

9. Why are some children bullies?

Some kids bully others because they're not getting enough attention at home, or they're going through a major life change.

Children who are bullied by other bullies, or even adults, can become bullies themselves since bullying can make the bully feel strong or powerful.

10. Why do kids seem to always be hungry?

Kids need a lot of calories to fuel their daily life. An 8-year-old needs 1625 to 1745 calories in a day!

Sometimes, it can be the case that the child doesn't drink a lot of liquid, and thus they tend to compensate by eating more.
