Pediculza in a child: do not worry and do not hurt!Summer has long been behind, and with him resorts and camps, from where children together with suitcases could bring home such a nuisance like a head pediculosis. Checked, not found, forgotten... However, it is not worth relaxing! Child can «Get down» parasites at school, kindergarten, on the playground... And the problem is not so much in the fact of infection, how much is that he will be flawed to talk about the problem that has arisen, fearing the rougher from peers. It's time to deal with psychological aspects once and for all «storage».

For the proper development of the personality, the social environment in which it is formed. Ridicule and just oblique views of classmates do not contribute to the psychological comfort of the child. Knowing how peers can be tuned, children often hide the facts that seem unlocking facts. And the presence of lice they are considered to be aware of. Children are afraid to tell about their problem not only to peers, but also adults, believing that parents will incorrectly respond to it.

I must say adults often contribute to such behavior of children, counting myths about hygienic or social «Preferences» Lisha real. In fact, the head pediculosis infects children from quite secured families, which often becomes an unpleasant and completely unexpected discovery for their parents. But even those who are quite free from stereotypes, sometimes it is extremely difficult to explain to the child that he is not to blame for infected, or that it is not ashamed at all. In this case, it is important to find the right approach to the topic, not aggravating the situation so that the child is even no longer closed in itself.

To begin with, examine the question from and to: what is lice, how and from what they appear how to make them easier. Communicate with other parents (they probably have already come across a similar problem), with teachers in school or educators in kindergarten. The thorough knowledge of all the nuances will allow you to feel in conversation more confidently, and your emotional calm is transferred to a child. In no case do not make a problem from this fact, but on the contrary, give the conversation to what happened naturally and happens to everyone. The sense of shame and awkwardness is easy to eliminate if you present the topic as a completely ordinary, comparable with a cold when heocoled or wound from falling from a bike.

«If the child is small, it is better to build a conversation in gaming and interactive form. You can draw on a sheet of paper cheerful and not at all a terrible loss and show her way from the head of another baby to the head of your chad. Next, demonstrate how you will «saying goodbye» With these small guests. After that, you can proceed with the processing of the head with special pediculicide tools and consolidate your story with real actions», — comments Employee RBO «Center for Medical Pedagogy» Olga Sergeyevna Spiridonova.

By the way, often the inappropriation of parents is manifested, among other things, in the matter of modern ways to eliminate the head pediculosis. Some still believe that it is enough to wash the head several times a day to get rid of these parasites. But I will do extremely survivors, and remove it with ordinary shampoo will not be able to. Others believe that for one hundred percent getting rid of annoying insects it is necessary to process the head kerosene and vinegar, to smear garlic or is radical — Shave naked. However, hardly your child will be delighted with such prospects.

Independently get rid of parasites at home today is quite possible and without use «grandmother's methods» — for this there are much more comfortable and safe methods. In pharmacies, many different pediculicidal agents are sold, which differ in price and use method. The recent generation means are pediculicides based on mineral oil complexes, such as isopar, adhesive and oxyfthinine. Unlike other funds, they affect the lice physically, breaking their breathing and water exchange. Currently, in our country there are several such means characterized by a brief exposure time on the hair (from 10 to 15 minutes depending on the specific means) — Pediculicidal funds pairs (shampoo, spray and lotion). Do not forget that the test for the presence of a head pediculosis and further processing in case of detection it is necessary to carry out all family members at the same time.

During the processing period, it is not necessary to limit the child's communication with other children, thereby giving it to understand that his little trouble is dangerous. In the evening, treat your hair with a spray or lotion, and the next day let them have fun with peers further. However, it is important to tell the child about the rules of precaution: it is not necessary to use someone else's comb or hairpins, put on other people's caps and caps. By the way, if someone from your loved ones have already encountered a problem, protect the child from infection with parasites will help with special means.

And the last — If your child has a head pediculosis, forget about the principle «every man for himself». If your family is solved in your family, it does not mean that it will not arise in the children's team. Rather, on the contrary. Ignorance exacerbates and speeds up the spread of pediculosis, thereby contributing to the child's re-infection. It is necessary to report on the detected disease to teachers or educators of kindergarten, parents of other children, a nurse of an educational institution. To protect the child from subtods from the peers (especially if he just started studying in a new class), inform the teacher or a health worker better with an eye on the eye. In this case, they will be able to inform about this to the rest of parents, without pointing to a specific student.

Today get rid of unpleasant insects — Not at all difficult. The main thing is that the child does not have this very false shame or unwanted precipitation from the disease. And for this, it is better not to delay with treatment and in no case ignore the problem.
