1. What is IEP?

The United States of America has designed an educational program for children with special abilities and who need special education and attention. This program has been named as Individualized Education Program (IEP). The students eligible for the IEP get special aid from the state. To be eligible, the parent or teacher must identify the learning disability in the child and accordingly it's reviewed by the panel. Every school in US needs to respect and adhere to IEP policy. Stringent action would be taken against school if IEP reports are not submitted annually to the education department.

2. In order to control the video game addiction and internet abuse by the school children, the parents are advised to limit the internet speed and access besides maintaining childlock. Videogames should not be gifted to children and every parent must educate that internet is used for communication and for doing secondary research to learn, and not for gaming or listening to music, which would waste the time and also harm the eyes and mental reasoning. If possible, children should be given examples of such instances, eg: some xyz boy who lost his vision due to playing videogames etc.

3. Human Pappilovirus (HPV) vaccination is given to children between 12 years to 24 years. It is administered to children and adoloscents whose immune system is weak and who contract fever and infections constantly.

4. Center for Disease Control advices that influenza vaccination should be given to infants above 6 months. American Paediatrics Association said that the flu shot through nose should be the last resort. It depends from case to case. Only a medical doctor of M.D rank can determine whether the child needs an influenza vaccine or not.
