Any contact with a loved one, even scratch, facilitate release of the hormone of joy, therefore it prolongs life, according to British experts quoted by the BBC. If a person is very upset and want to relax, you catch it in hand and thus without thinking it have a positive healing effect, lower blood pressure and slow down his heart beat. One area of 2 cm ² Skin is not less than 50 nerve endings and therefore the nervous system that is first perceived impact on the skin. Galena and light massage are able to reduce nervous irritability and even stop the pain. In a recent research 40 infants were divided into two groups. Children from the first group were fondling a 45 minutes every day. After 10 days in them have been registered more rapid weight gain, although children from both groups received the same amount of food. Touch, hearing and vision are very important for children because they depend on their psychological development and social status. Adults also need to satisfy all needs of the bodies of feelings. Therefore, some researchers even recommend to embrace his favorite person at least 4 times a day.
Even amicable pat on the shoulder or contact of the hands cause the feeling of ownership and mitigate “touch hunger”. This favorable impact not only on the nervous system but also to other systems in the body. So – do not give up on pleasures! Remember also Gauls children – mostly in the head and back.
There is even tactile way of learning the alphabet: Stick to the wall at shoulder height sheet of paper, give a child or ink pens, place it over with leaves and write pointer block letters of the alphabet. Name the letter and ask the child write it on the sheet. This method is especially useful for children who have difficulty remembering the letters. Handshake, a pat on the shoulder, embracing at the meeting and parting, tapping his fingers on the table, combed hair, slightly rubbed on the forehead and temples – all are ways to quench the “touch hunger”, ie and extending the life

No use of violence in the education of children

Parents do not always consciously spank the child. In most cases this happens when you lose patience and fall into despair. Sometimes they can only hurt the child so that several times he repeated that it should not be done if a child has heard them. “All parents know how annoying and insulting is when children do not listen to them, but the outcome of the situation is not violence,” said a team of specialists. According to the results of their study commissioned by the American Academy of Pediatrics, 25 percent of families with two parents beat their children at least once a week. These 25 percent are of the opinion that this method of education helps. But actually it is only superficial results, scientists refute them: “As a rule, children are often struck by their parents as an educational method, begin to lie, they develop children’s aggression, anger and other deviations from their social behavior. These children are unable to make much needed and important difference between “good and bad,” they more often than others behave incorrectly behind the back “of their parents. Therefore unlikely that method of education can be defined as effective.
Experts offer several alternatives to the far better and lasting results:
1. Be firm and patient – the child will surely hear you if you speak firmly, but not with increased tone.
2. Pause – if you tell your child that you are now very angry and will therefore return to this issue later, in that it is not bad. It is better to postpone for a few minutes to talk and relax than to apply force.
3. Teach your children – rather than punish the child for some action, tell him that you do not like it when it makes certain things and ask them not to repeat. If it recurs, ask your child how to help him remember that it should not be done.
4. Be positive about – for example, instead of reply: “How many times do you say to wash your teeth, use the” Tell me when you’re finished with your teeth, because I will walk into the bathroom.
5. Explain to the child, rather than threaten it – short of the child explain why he should not behave this way rather than another and what can happen if it does not behave properly.
6. Stimulate your child – can you get with phrases like “Time to go. Hurry up, I want to get home earlier, because … ”
7. Be flexible – if your child asks you something, be flexible, try to find a solution that would both satisfied.
8. Be smarter – if any of the methods has not proved successful, find another solution. It is not superfluous to ask the child how to help him. This issue will surely generate positive feelings about him.
9. Its control your anger – if you treat with malice towards her child will learn to do it so with their children, and all around him.

When the temperature should be decreased

The Fever is one of the manifestations of acute infections. Its emergence is stimulated by a substance called endogenous pyrogens. But it simultaneously contributes to the production of interferon, which in turn protects the body from infection. So increasingly in modern medicine is launched the idea that temperature is not always and under all conditions must be downloaded. Most experts now believe that until it reaches a certain level, it generally must be a fight. Of course, you need to meet certain conditions and the first of these is the “bed” mode.
When the temperature is too high
This primarily depends on the age and general health.
- For example, if the child is aged 3 years is considered a high temperature above 38 degrees C. If it is, for example 37.5 degrees, the child wrapped in a wet sheet (water should be at room temperature with 2-3 spoons of vinegar added ). In this case it is not necessary to give medication. But if it does not help, the child must take the syrup – most often containing paracetamol. Not exhibit amateur and seek medical advice.
- If it comes to children under 12 years, forget about aspirin and it contained pharmacies. The adoption of these drugs against the viral infection can cause Reye’s syndrome – a severe complication consisting in destruction of the liver and brain and can be fatal. The most safe and are often preferred means again containing paracetamol or ibuprofen. The selection is great – the tablets in soluble form or syrups. It is good to know that soluble preparations act more quickly, but as candles slower than the tablets, but did so for longer. Of course, it is not necessary to forget the traditional methods of traditional medicine – ice on the forehead, put a slice of lemon on the heels of the child, turning the legs with a damp cloth.

How often is normal the child to be ill

Viliyana FIlipova — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:45:52 +0000

Children who virtually never get sick, or they are not so small that they can be counted on fingers. The general opinion of doctors is that illness, children gradually build up their immune systems, which will help them later to resist infections attacking the body. But one has to be sick 1-2 times a year, and another – the presence of constant runny nose and cough. How often can ill child without causing alarm among parents and doctors? The term “children suffering often is blurred, as each child, for example every body is individual. According to modern medical standards “often suffering children” are considered those that:
• for up to 1 year of age suffer from respiratory diseases and more every year
• aged 1 to 3 years – 6 times more
• aged 3 to 5 years – 5 times more and
• over 5 years – 4 times more.
Today, children are often found with weak immunity who suffer from respiratory illness or flu, literally every month. Especially often it happens among those who attend nurseries and kindergartens. Illness they often occurs with an exacerbation of existing chronic infections – pulmonary, renal, etc. The reasons are mainly two – or nervously cold load. Typically, these children suffer less frequently, but quite long. One goes to another disease and doctors have difficulty in switching to it that previous disease is cured and there is a new problem. These children for months could have a residual cough syndrome or periodic such as inflammation of the nose.
One way of determining the immunity of the child is scheduled vaccination. If the vaccine 2-3 weeks after the child has a fever again, or throat problems, parents need to be seriously addressed by strengthening its immune system

The strength of immunity depends mainly from feeding of 12-14 years old

Viliyana FIlipova — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:18:43 +0000

About 15 years ago in medicine appears the concept of immune nutrition and researchers began to study the impact of different products on the work of the body’s defense system. As our immunity begins to form in the womb of the mother and finally matures to 12 our 14th year, it was logical to make the conclusion that its strength depends on the particular diet during this period. When a child is born, it is virtually sterile and intestines from the food during the first hours, days and months of his life depends on his immunity. It is in the gut barrier is preventing the penetration of viruses, fungi and parasites. Bacteria perform a protective function and if they are sufficiently inhibit harmful flora. The first population of bacteria was at the time of birth by tribal ways. Therefore it is very important in this period the woman to be strong. Bacteria within the body of a child with milk. It contains prebiotics – substances contributing to the development of their own microfloar in the intestines of the child. A few drops of milk immediately after birth are a kind of vaccination against infections and viruses. Ideally the child receives breast milk throughout the first year of life. Pediatricians advise at least 6-months old child should not be feeding and not even give him water because it gets everything you need through breast milk. The introduction of other products in the diet can cause problems with lactation.
Pace of modern life often do not allow the woman to maintain lactation for a year. The mother was forced to return to work and leaves the child in the care of others. Sometimes it may discontinue breast-feeding and illness. Formula feeding should be chosen by pediatricians. It must give the child the necessary substances, including those required for colonization of the gut of useful microfloar. Unfortunately, mothers often replace milk with cow’s milk. It definitely should not be done. Cow’s milk contains too many (more than 20) allergens and children who have received up to 3 years old, twice as often suffer from atopic dermatitis, anemia or rickets. The composition of cow’s milk differs completely from the parent. In 1 liters milk contains 13 g prebiotics, in 1 liter of cow’s milk – only 0.1 in cow’s milk is also significantly less iron, zinc, iodine, vitamins C and E. It contains three times more protein and therefore absorb more difficult and can cause microscopic bleeding in the intestine.

When really tonsils must be removed?

Today medicine is definite that in humans there is nothing superfluous. This applies to the appendix and tonsils. After 12 years of age tonsils reduce their size but by the age of 20 years, they completely vestigial since grown organism no longer needs the extra protection from infection. But sometimes when the children grow and tonsils form adenoids that some specialists are trying to heal, while others – removed. According to chronic inflammation in the tonsils is dangerous in that he often goes into other bodies and striking vessels, heart and kidneys. Expanded and inflamed tonsils causing problems with hearing, breathing, may suffer, and diction. Even more dangerous is when the organism adenoids cause disturbances in the circulation of the cranial cavity, nocturia or bronchial asthma. In these cases, the tonsils must be removed. Adenoids sometimes mistakenly considered to be a childhood disease that can disappear with age. But by then the child can be changed so as to render it beyond recognition, ie known to be formed. adenoid’s type person, characterized by a narrow skull and permanently half-open mouth. Upper teeth grow correctly, the lower jaw is protruding, but talking is over nose.
Many parents mistakenly believe that availability of medicines for the treatment of angina, they may not seek medical attention. But angina are different and every body spend them differently, so can not say that there are standard drugs for the treatment of this disease. Furthermore, angina is often accompanied by diphtheria, scarlet fever, blood diseases (mononucleosis, agranulocytosis), syphilis, typhoid and others. Therefore, medical intervention is mandatory. Moderate increase in the tonsils, which did not cause pathology by other authorities, recommended a comprehensive conservative treatment: anti-inflammatory drops, USEFUL, vitamins, breathing exercises, hardening, klimatoterapiya.
In any event, the tonsils should not be pressed with a spoon, needle or other means. Inflicted injuries can cause other more serious problems. In the presence of frequent angina, a sharp reduction of hearing, asthma or complications with the nose, tonsils, however, must be removed by surgery.
