Paying for your owncollege tuitioncan be hard.
This young woman had help from her sister, who agreed to fund her education.
But that stopped after one unfortunate accident.
Concussions arent at all common in toddlers.
Only 1.0% of those childrenare ages0-5 years.
However, children aged 0-4 and 15-19 are the two age groupsat the greatest riskof a brain injury.
And a whopping 564,000 visit thehospitalemergency department and, luckily, get released.
For toddlers aged 0-4, the most common reason for abrain injuryis a fall.
A toddlers head is still large compared to their body, so, theyre top-heavy.
Thats why, if they lose their balance, they most often fall headfirst.
However, any activity where a toddler hits their body or head hard enoughcan causea concussion.
They disrupt the way the brain functions but dont do any structural damage to the brain.
Generally, the forehead is pretty resilient for children ages 2 and older.
But other parts our temples, behind our ears, the nose, cheekbones are a bit more fragile.
Often parents know if theres something really wrong with their child, she believes.
Its better to be safe than sorry, especially where a toddlers health is concerned.
