You are ready for the sake of the baby literally on everything: you buy him the best products, wear it so that it is warm and comfortable, do not save on high-quality medicine, but now it does not pass two weeks without a child who does not shyly. It means that it is time to temper to force, finally, working a hazard immunity. Today our website will consider the issue of hardening children from all sides.
What is the essence of hardening
An ordered child, like a person, is not afraid of drafts at all, and the legs in spring puddles will not cause long-term illness. Why is that? Everything is very simple. Hardening is a process, the result of which becomes the insensitivity of the body to some unfavorable environmental factors, such as cold, dampness, temperature differences, the effects of sun rays. So that such immunity to evolve sufficiently, it is necessary to systematically, and it is better to say constantly, to live in close contact with this very factors.
Fair for the sake of, it should be noted that the child appears on the light of a fully prepared mother-in-nature to a meeting with various physical phenomena. And if it were not for our sometimes excessive parental care, it would not require any hardening. Unfortunately, our today's rhythm of life is organized in such a way that there is no time for hardifying procedures nor conditions. Our children most of the time spend indoors, and not in the fresh air. Training load, computer, TV and as a result - little motion, sedentary lifestyle and weak health. What to do? And is it possible to change the established way of life?
Our site argues - you can and even need. This will require a little:
- revise the day mode and power mode;
- more walking;
- equip the children's room in terms of health benefits;
- Gradually, to teach the child and take care of the simplest charging in the morning, and better - run;
- Clean the child correctly;
- spend the weekend in the fresh air of the whole family.
And now everything is in order.
Where to begin
Day mode is invented exclusively for the convenience of people. It is absolutely not necessary to do everything strictly in minutes, but some issues will need special punctuality. For example, the departure to sleep, it is necessary to organize in such a way that the child slept well to the morning climb and was vigorous. It is important not only time, but also a place to sleep. Air in the room for sleep must be clean and cool. The window is better to leave open, but if it's very cold, restrict ourselves to ventilating for 30-40 minutes.
Another important time hardening - Daily walks in any weather. It is desirable that during the walk a child moved a lot. Be calm if the baby runs and jumps - he will not leave.
If we boost often a sick schoolboy, we think about the feasibility of training load. Of course, in our time without knowing it is not to do, but the child should have time for walking and sports, because health can not be bought.
Now let's talk about how much a healthy child should be. The answer is obvious. In the diet should be natural products - cereal, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. But chocolate, chips, sweets and sofdes will not bring benefits to children's health. If the child refuses to eat - do not force it. Appetite - direct indicator of energy consumption. Does not want to eat, then, not hungry, then, did not spend the right amount of energy. However, staying in the fresh air and motor activity will definitely bring their fruits, and the appetite is normalized, so you will see.
Pay attention to the children's room. It is advisable to remove all dust collectors and thereby facilitate the implementation of daily wet cleaning.
If you seriously decided to temper the child, you need to consider the choice of clothing. Enough will adhere to a simple rule - wear a child so that not sweat, and that the clothes do not constrain movements. Great way of hardening children - Bike. So the proportion of warm socks!
Such a lifestyle has already contains a hardening moment. The parents require not so much material opportunity as desire and time for walking and joint physical education.
Rules for challenging children
- Harding procedures should be associated with a good mood, even with pleasure. Make the main emphasis on those procedures that most like your child. Loves to mess in water - excellent, use water games as hardening events. I like to run barefoot - wonderful, let it harnesses this way.
- Hardening loads must be gradual. For example, looking to sleep with an open window, we begin with the fact that we open the window for 5 minutes before bedtime, then 10, 15, 20 and thus after a while we sleep with an open window all night. Or hardening through water procedures. Today, the baby ached before bedtime in a warm driver, and tomorrow we will make a clock a little colder, after six months, the child runs through the puddles - and no cold.
- Systematism. It is impossible to limit ourselves to only one type of hardening procedures and fundamentally do not change anything in the lifestyle. If you drench the child every night with cold water, but at the same time it spends the bulk of the TV, this hardening will not give the effect.
- Intensive hardware procedures - walking through the snow, contact with frosty air, mowing with ice water can be started only after a long application of traditional hardifying procedures. As an intermediate stage, contrasting procedures are often recommended (contrast shower, Russian bath).
- Age for the start of hardening the child does not have a fundamental importance. The earlier start, the stronger will be health.
- If the child fell ill, active hardening procedures can be resumed only after full recovery. It will be necessary to start from the very beginning, but it is possible to increase the load faster, paying attention to the reaction of the child himself.
Hardening benefit
It is necessary to understand well that hardening will not save the child from infectious diseases, but will definitely make the body stronger and rustier. And this will significantly reduce the risk of colds and will accelerate the recovery after any infectious diseases.
As a rule, in those families where hard education is paid to special attention, the health of all family members is strengthened. After all, children will not be hardened by themselves, and we are also, adults, adjust your lifestyle and make a choice for health.
