THE COST OF TEXTBOOKS HAS RISEN STEADILY THE LAST FEW YEARS AND HAS INCREASED 110 PERCENT BETWEEN 1987 AND 2004. THE AVERAGE STUDENT SPENDS AROUND 700 TO 750 DOLLARS A YEAR. A TASKFORCE MET AT WEST VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY TODAY TO TALK ABOUT WAYS THEY CAN MAKE IT EASIER ON STUDENTS WHEN THEY VISIT THE BOOKSTORE. SOME STUDENTS SAY THEY'RE ALREADY HAVING TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT BOOKS THEY CAN OR CAN'T AFFORD. "People are going without books now and that really sucks cause they just can't afford it. it's not in the budget. Tuition is first. Ad then if you don't have the money for books sometimes you're sharing. THE TASKFORCE SAYS THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON FINDING WAYS TO HAVE TEACHERS KEEP THEIR BOOKS MORE THAN ONE YEAR SO STUDENTS WON'T BE BUYING AS MANY BOOKS AND CAN GET CHEAPER PRICES WHEN THEY BUY THEM USED.

WHEN KIDS ARE UNDER A YEAR OLD... THEY BITE BECAUSE OF TEETHING OR ORAL EXPERIMENTATION. BUT USUALLY WHEN YOU GET INTO THE TODDLER RANGE FROM ABOUT ONE TO THREE.... IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CHILDREN ARE FRUSTRATED, ANGRY... SOMETIMES EVEN EXCITED. PEDIATRICIANS TELL MOMS AND DADS TO SPEAK FIRMLY TO THEIR CHILD, TELLING HIM THAT BITING IS NOT ALLOWED. TIME OUTS ARE ALSO EFFECTIVE. DOCTORS ALSO SUGGEST IF THE PROBLEM LASTS BEYOND THE AGE OF THREE, THE CHILD MAY NEED TO BE SEEN BY A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
