The coldest time of the year is coming, and often this time of year, there are many dangers lurking that moms and dads ignore. Sometimes, if we are not careful, we will let our children get hurt. The following 5 things, must be alert! 1, do not let children often lick their mouths Winter temperatures are dry and cold, many children have dry lips symptoms. Some children will use their tongues to lick their lips, so that the lips moist some. Although this can bring a brief moisturizing, but often the more licking the more dry, often licking will lick off the protective layer of the skin surface, the skin lost protection, it is easy to lose moisture, the tongue stimulation plus the role of saliva, slowly produced inflammation, some redness on the side of the lips, and even peeling skin. This is called tongue licking dermatitis. Moreover, children with this symptom almost always show “internal heat”, that is, dry mouth and throat, dry stools. Parents must correct this bad habit of their children and make them aware of the disadvantages of doing so. Pay attention to prevention in daily life, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, hydrate, and eat less fried and irritating food. When your child’s lips are peeling, don’t just use your hands to tear, find some clean gauze or handkerchief with warm water, give your child a warm compress for the lips, and then gently uncover the dry skin after it has been thoroughly softened, and then gently apply a special lip balm for children. 2, do not give the child tied too long scarf There was a girl in Hubei because the scarf was “bitten” by the elevator, resulting in asphyxiation and coma; a woman on the way to ride a battery car, the scarf accidentally rolled into the back wheel of the battery car, the woman’s neck was strangled faint, fortunately, passers-by rescue to get out of danger; there is a girl in the kindergarten slide, when the scarf was hanging. Scarf was hung up, a young girl left the world. Therefore, the scarf for children should not be too long, if the scarf is too long can also be tucked into clothes or fixed at both ends. Especially for children, parents should pay attention to whether the scarf has been tucked into the clothes when the child is playing on the slide, riding the escalator or sitting in the back seat of a bicycle or electric car. And do not kill the knot when tying the scarf, otherwise it is difficult to untie it once the danger arises. In addition, to the child player cover, it is best not to buy with a lanyard. 3, the quilt is not too heavy In winter, many adults like to give children cover thicker quilt, not only have a warm feeling, but also not easy to leak wind, do not have to worry about catching a cold. Quilt cover thick certainly warm, but will affect sleep. First of all, when you sleep with a thick quilt, your child will have a sense of pressure, and it will be difficult for your whole body muscles to relax, so you will not be able to fall asleep, and the quality of sleep will decrease. Second, the windows are generally not open in winter, the indoor air flow is relatively small, thick quilts pressed on the child’s chest, will cause a slight lack of oxygen. Third, thick quilts are dusty, inhalation of the respiratory tract will cause some damage to the respiratory mucosa. Finally, the thick quilt is not breathable, although the night is warm, but also will make the pores open, the next day to wake up more easily affected by wind and cold. Moreover, many children love to kick the quilt in winter, a big reason is that the quilt is too heavy. Children are in a period of growth and development, metabolism is fast, afraid of heat, easy to sweat, if the quilt is too thick feel uncomfortable, the baby sleep unstable will kick the quilt. The quilt is thinner, wrapping the baby tighter, and the phenomenon of kicking the quilt will naturally disappear. In addition, poor air circulation in winter, so do not sleep at night with the quilt cover the mouth and nose, so as not to breathe; body around to tuck in, so as not to leak wind; shoulders and limbs do not show outside, so as not to get cold. 4, do not choose electrode type hot water bags Many parents will buy hand warmers to warm children, these hand warmers can not only warm the child’s hands, cartoon shape can also be used as a toy for children. However, the danger factor of the hand warmer is also very high, parents must pay attention. Hand warmers are divided into “electrode type” and “electric wire type” according to the different heating principles. Electrode type hand warmer directly heats the liquid, omitting the electrothermal transducer and basic insulation protection, rapid expansion of the liquid not only has the potential for explosion, once the leakage of liquid is also very likely to lead to electrocution hazard. In comparison, the electric wire type hand warmer has a higher safety factor. So, how to distinguish between “electrode” and “electric wire” hand warmer? Quality assurance experts say, if the hand warmer touches a very obvious arc coil device, is the electric wire type; if the hand warmer can feel two thumb-thin tube, that is the electrode type, it is best not to buy. 5, do not let children sleep in the car with the heater on When parents drive their children to and from school, when blocked in the crowded road, many parents will choose to turn on the car heater to keep their children warm. However, parents must instruct their children not to sleep in the car with the heater on. The space inside the car is small, the windows are tightly closed and impermeable, long open air conditioning, air circulation inside the car, resulting in the inability to timely replenishment of fresh air, it is easy to accumulate the engine to exclude carbon monoxide, when the concentration reaches a certain level, it will make people carbon monoxide poisoning, serious will also lead to death. Long time open car heating, be sure to properly open a little window, so that the air in the car to circulate; secondly, the car temperature is not too high, the child in a closed space, it is easy to nausea.
