Everyone is familiar with the phenomenon of frequent illnesses of children who have just started going to the kindergarten. During the adaptation period, the child begins to suffer from almost all the diseases that his peers have had. The answer to the question why children in the kindergarten are sick is quite simple: it is here that they come into contact with a large number of unfamiliar viruses. Usually, after six months of getting used to the children's collective, the baby starts to get sick less and less, its immunity becomes stronger and less vulnerable to viruses so common in public places.
However, what if the child is sick in the kindergarten, despite the fact that he goes there for more than six months? For some children, the adaptation period does not end after two years of socialization, so often a sick child should be strengthened immunity. But how to do that?
How not to hurt in the garden?
- Hardening . Regular minimal stressful effects on the baby's body can serve as a good preparation for a situation where the body will face a great threat. Temper the child, let him go without shoes and socks at home, wear a minimum of clothes on the street, allow the child to spend the night with an open window, to open in a dream. If you carry out these activities correctly (that is, gradually and at a time when the baby is healthy), you will notice that regular stress only strengthens your baby's body.
- Proper nutrition . Make sure that the child's diet contains more fruits, sour-milk products, nuts. All these products are the source of vitamins, microelements necessary for the proper development of the child. If the child eats sweets, in his diet there is an excess of bakery products, smoked products containing a large number of preservatives and colorings, this will not strengthen the baby's body.
- The regime of the day . Sufficient sleep, calm atmosphere in the house, frequent walks - all these factors have a huge impact on the overall condition of the child, in particular, on his ability to resist the attacking organism of viruses and bacteria. Analyzing the reasons for the poor immunity of the child, you can not take into account the stressful conflict situations that arise between adults, however, this is not true, because including psychological discomfort can weaken the life force of the child.
- Talk with the educator and parents . It's not a secret that very often busy parents bring to the kindergarten untreated children or children with obvious signs of beginning illnesses. To act in this situation should be simple: in each garden there is a full-time doctor who needs to be invited to the group to check the condition of the child. If the disease is confirmed, such a baby must be isolated from the group, by quarantining. Hold a parent meeting and arrange with the parents that there are as few cases as possible.
- Conditions in the group . Take care to organize the right conditions for children in the group: very often the necessary temperature and humidity are not maintained in the gardens. Perhaps you will need to collect from parents the right amount to buy a moisturizer.
- Preventive means . In the season of colds and diseases, develop the habit of lubricating the baby's nose in front of the garden with oxolin ointment, and after washing, rinse with any salt solution. So you minimize the possibility of developing diseases. Also good for prevention
are garlic beads. String a few cloves of garlic on a strong thread and wear such a necklace to the child. It's better if all the kids in the group do it.
If the child is often sick in the kindergarten, many parents often resort to the help of immunomodulators, in the variety represented on pharmacy shelves today, however, with the wrong lifestyle all these tools can not help solve the problem, since over time such drugs are addictive. In addition, consider that some immunomodulating drugs, such as interferon, are produced from human blood serum and contain protein. Such drugs can not bring good, but great harm to a child suffering from atopic dermatitis, especially if the child is diagnosed with an allergy to protein.
