Raising children is a learning curve. Some parents are relaxed and their children grow up to be healthy, while others are nervous and their children get sick twice a day. Why is my child less healthy than other children? Many young mothers and fathers are puzzled. The lack of proper parenting methods is especially evident among post-80s parents. Parents should look for the reasons why their children are weak and prone to illness from the following six aspects. 1, catering to children picky eaters like to eat, do not like to eat, parents do not correct the children’s partial food, but to cater to meet, over time will cause nutritional imbalance. This can lead to nutritional imbalance. Children who are partial eaters will suffer from nutritional deficiencies, which will affect their bone growth and make their “stomach and intestines weak”, making them prone to stagnation and noma. Suggestions: To help children overcome the problem of partiality, we must first pay attention to the child’s meal, parents must not repeatedly nagging, but on the surface to play down the matter, to create a pleasant, relaxed eating atmosphere. In the cooking of dishes to pay attention to the color, aroma and taste, so that children have a sense of freshness. At the same time, parents themselves can not be partial food. 2, craving snacks without restraint Children eat snacks without restraint, not good for the gastrointestinal. There are also many children to soda, drinks as water, not only to the gastrointestinal burden, but also increased the risk of obesity. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, eating hot and dry food (such as baked chicken wings) can easily cause children to have a “weak liver and spleen”, which is characterized by irritability, heat in the hands and feet, sluggish stomach, head sweating, dry or loose stools, and children with this type of constitution are more likely to catch a cold. Suggestions: Try to let children eat less snacks, especially cookies, candy and other hot food, for “liver” baby can be used ivory silk boiled lean meat, solitary foot gold, children’s grass boiled lean meat to clear liver fire; for “spleen weak” baby can be used Huai Shan, lotus seeds, Tzusi boiled lean meat and other dietary therapy to strengthen the spleen. 3, children habitually sleep late Children generally sleep longer, but many parents have the habit of sleeping late, children also follow very late to bed, often making children sleep deprived. There are reports from abroad that most children who go to bed early are mentally focused and make fast progress. Sleeping late can affect the secretion of growth hormones at night, resulting in short children, which can not be made up for during the day. Suggestions: Parents should put their children to bed first, then do their own business to ensure that children have sufficient and regular sleep. According to international requirements, newborn babies should sleep 20 hours a day, 2-3 months old babies should sleep 16-18 hours, 4-8 months old babies should sleep 15-16 hours, 9-12 months old babies should sleep 14-15 hours, 1-2 years old children should sleep 13 hours, 3-5 years old children should sleep 12 hours, 6-7 years old children should sleep 11 hours, 7 years old and above children should sleep 9-10 hours. 4, the more clothes the better Some parents always feel that children with colds are wearing less clothes, so they give children dressed very tightly. However, children are active and sweat easily, if they do not change clothes or wipe sweat in time, the wind blows, more likely to catch a cold. Even if the doctor relieves the symptoms, the body does not recover and it is easy to catch a cold again. Suggestions: Children’s clothing should be increased or decreased in time with the change of weather, the key is to pay attention to the back and the soles of the feet to keep warm. The back is the gateway to the lungs, and the soles of the feet have an acupoint called the Yongquan point, the first point of the kidney meridian, the Yongquan is cold, resulting in insufficient heat for the body to resist external cold invasion. So don’t let children go barefoot in the morning and evening when there is a big temperature difference. Also prepare a few towels, timely to the child to wipe sweat and back pad. 5, often frightened easy to have a shadow Children need a comfortable sleep environment, but when the baby sleeps, parents often talk loudly, the TV volume is turned up, often frightened of children; some parents love to lift the child high when happy, thrown up, rocking left and right, the child seems to play very happy, but then sleep performance frightened symptoms, such as crying, easy to wake up, can not sleep; some Some parents are in a bad mood, quarreling or even fighting in front of the child, which can seriously damage the child’s mind and may cause a lifetime of mental shadows. Suggestions: pay attention to the child’s psychological protection, do not overdo it with children playing, and avoid arguments and conflicts in front of children. 6, premature abuse of tonic health products Pediatric fever and cough is a common condition, but after a high fever in children, the fever has not fully receded, many parents are anxious to give their children to eat tonic. This is because children are relatively weak and their gastrointestinal digestive function is also weak, so taking supplements can add to the burden on the stomach and intestines. There are also a few parents who eat their own tonic and feed it to their children, as the tonic contains sex hormones such as cordyceps, ginseng, deer antler, snow clam paste, royal jelly, etc., which can cause premature sexual maturity in children and adversely affect their growth and development. Suggestion: Do not abuse tonic health products for children. During a child’s illness, the gastrointestinal burden should be reduced, and light foods such as porridge, cereals and noodles should be eaten. Parents are the best doctors for their children, and I sincerely hope that all babies in the world stay away from sickness as much as possible! If you are a responsible mother, then please be patient and read this post. It may be very helpful for you and your baby to avoid some unnecessary harm and make your baby suffer less.
