In spring all of us, adults and children, suffer from vitamin deficiency, lack of energy, fatigue. There is a restructuring of the vegetative, immune and other body systems. It's hard, but fixable!.
"Syndrome of the third quarter" - so doctors call our spring "exacerbation". And if we adults feel weak and lost in March-April, what can we say about children who get tired of a lot of lessons, early school rises and homework. By the way, schoolchildren are just starting the spring break, so, parents, it's time to think about how to help them gain strength and recover.
Vacations - a period traditionally associated with rest, both in adults and children, although both teachers and physicians assign to this time a special role in the life of the student.
It is believed that vacations are designed to discharge and restore the child's psychological, mental and physical strength, relieve tension and develop creative abilities, which in the future will help him better cope with a variety of educational and life tasks. For doctors, vacations are of particular importance: during epidemics, the temporary separation of schoolchildren can reduce the rate of spread of viral infections.
But in order for the holidays to really bring all the benefits they put in, parents should really work hard. How exactly - told us Catherine Uspenskaya, to. , pediatrician, doctor of the highest category.
During the holidays, when you do not need to get up at a certain time and observe the daily rituals of washing and brushing your teeth, children easily forget the hygiene of hygiene. So, parents need to remind them how important it is to brush their teeth, wash their hands, especially when they come from the street. If you work and supervise the child does not work, conduct an educational conversation, asking the child to observe these little formalities.
Regarding the regularity of food, the school gives parents some kind of comfort - there surely the child has breakfast and lunch and obviously not chips. But when he stays alone at home or in the care of nannies / relatives watching over him, the assurance that he does not eat on the street with a hamburger or chocolate has no. Therefore, do not be surprised if your child refuses to eat the soup offered to him, saying that he is not hungry. What to do in this case, parents who spend the whole day at work? First, talk with the nanny or grandmother, ask them to take a closer look at the nutrition of the child, remind them that he should eat in a relaxed atmosphere, without watching TV or video games. If he is at home alone, always leave fresh home-made food, which the child can warm himself up on the stove or in the microwave oven. Are you afraid that he will not be able to cope with electrical appliances? Leave food in a thermos. The main thing is that the child should eat a warm food that contains enough proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
As for active recreation, the recommendations do not change for decades. On average, the child should spend at least 2 hours outdoors. But how to organize a child's leisure at a time when you can not look after him? If possible, find out what programs of master classes or children's clubs are in the nearest parks. Probably among the parents of his classmates there are also those who will be ready to accompany there a group of guys from the class during the holidays. Also do not forget about nannies or grandmothers who can take the child and to classes in the section, and take a walk with him in the park.
It is possible that, despite all your efforts, the child will spend free time in the computer society, communicating in social networks and neglecting meetings with peers. And if you do not pay attention to it in time, then the room of your homebody can eventually become a den, in which the bed is not refueled, a lot of electrical appliances work and which is often not even ventilated. In a room where there is musty air and dust is not wiped, viruses and bacteria feel great. And it's not surprising if the dweller of such apartments soon sinks with a temperature of 40 and will spend the rest of the vacation time taking medication. Therefore, do not forget to look every night into the child's room: remind him of harvesting and airing.
In the spring usually allergies are aggravated, bronchial asthma, stomach diseases. Know the chronic diseases of your child, prepare for the spring period in advance, do the prophylaxis. Take care also that at the end of the season, stresses, beriberi and ARVI should be avoided - they easily provoke an aggravation of these chronic diseases.
"For the prevention of SARS, choose safe drugs that have no age limitations and have a minimum of side effects," advises Tatyana Alikhashkina, a therapist, deputy head of the polyclinic No. 1 of the Pirogov NMHC. - For a course of vitamins it is better to consult a doctor in charge - different vitamin complexes are shown at different ages ".
In any case, remember that the health of a child is more important than missed lessons in school and it is better to leave it at home once than to treat it later.
