My child is often sick, how to improve immunity?

"My children often get sick after going to kindergarten, sneezing, catching colds, and fevers. They have almost never stopped their illnesses. They are in good health at home, but they have to go home to rest within a few days after being sent to kindergarten. Will it reduce his immunity and make him more likely to get sick?"

Why do children get sick easily when they go to kindergarten? How can parents help them improve their immunity?

First, when a child is sick, parents must "rest at ease".

Don't panic, don't be anxious, especially as parents, don't blame each other for something, this will bring the child's inner anxiety.

Faced with a child’s illness, some parents do not have much medical knowledge, but they are not flustered. They will first judge whether the child’s condition requires immediate medical attention. Or to understand the cause of illness, is it infection, psychological emotions, or lack of rest? Such parents have stable emotions, and they can make correct choices and judgments.

There are also some parents who are particularly flustered when their children are sick, and they will blame others, blame their children, or even blame themselves. Once the negative emotions are spread to the incident, they will get confused and go to the hospital in a hurry.

Therefore, when a child is sick, parents must first calm their minds, observe and understand the child, let the child feel relaxed and stabilize the mood, so that it will help the child to improve his immunity.

Second, when a child is sick, parents should "rest assured".

Just like the setbacks experienced in life, illness is an indispensable "nutrient" for growth. Especially for children who have just entered kindergarten, they must have a process of adapting when they come into contact with new environments and friends, whether it is the objective external environment or subjective psychological factors.

These will cause the child to have physical and mental discomfort. However, if the child is given excessive protection for fear of getting sick, such as fear of infection, the child will not be allowed to contact the outside world; for fear of catching a cold, wear a lot, or even overuse drugs...

This seems to protect the child, but in the long run it is harmful to health. Children who have been overprotected have not exercised their own immunity and resistance. Once they are not protected by adults, they will be more likely to get sick.

At the same time, don't lead your child to get sick. If the adult becomes flustered after the child is sick, buy delicious and fun things for the child, and give the child leave, etc., the sensitive child will find that illness can make him more loved, and the child will pretend to be sick. This is the ignorance of adults, and it also caters to the weakness of children who like to take advantage of loopholes.

Therefore, parents should "rest assured". Treat every child's illness as an adaptation and practice, and allow them to have certain symptoms in the heart, so that they can really help the child to get a healthier physical condition.

Third, parents should "be relieved" when their children are sick.

Emotion and physical health are inseparable. Chinese medicine teaches that man and nature are one, and body and mind are one. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" mentioned: anger hurts the liver, joy and sadness, sadness of the lungs, thinking hurts the spleen, fear of hurting the kidneys.

If children have emotional problems, they will also get sick easily. For example, if the child encounters some unpleasant things, or often feels nervous and anxious, if these negative emotions are not guided in time, their physical development will be hindered, which will also lead to physical conditions.

Parents should use empathy and listening to enter the heart of the child, rather than various "requirements", so as to help the child to ease the negative emotions in time. Because once they have trust in adults, children will definitely want to share their inner little world as soon as possible.

In addition, creating a good family environment is very important. Children are "absorptive minds." If the family environment is stressful, anxious, conflicted or even hostile, even if the parents care about taking care of their children, sensitive children will still absorb these negative emotions and become extremely insecure when they grow up.

Parents are not only the life support of children, but also their spiritual support. As a parent, one's mental and inner emotional stability are very important nourishment for children.

Fourth, parents must "persevere" in the growth of children.

Children like repetitive and rhythmic patterns. Such a life can bring security and make them feel the consistency of the world.

But if the pace of life is full of variables and children live in a disordered schedule, they don’t know what will happen next, they will feel uneasy, which will also affect their health.

Parents should arrange a relatively regular pace of life for their children day after day. When the child goes home at night, the time before going to bed can be arranged in a rhythm. For example, there is a fixed order, eating first, then playing, then taking a bath, and finally telling a story before going to bed.

The arrangement of each family can be different, once the order is confirmed, do not change it lightly. If it changes, the child will feel at a loss, he may be playful, do not sleep well, or may be procrastinated.

Law can bring self-discipline, and sleep is the key to creating a law of life. If the child always goes to bed late, a child with a weak liver is likely to become weak and reluctant to shrink.

In addition, don't worry about letting your children go to tuition, learn talents, and ensure a good sleep is very important. Don't wait until your children are tired from playing before going to bed, but go to bed when the time comes. If waiting for children to get tired from playing, their emotions will be excited, nervous, or they will be more likely to cry because they can't sleep.

Parents need to help their children establish good sleep habits. If it is time for bed and the child does not want to sleep, adults need to prepare a fixed bed-going ritual, such as bedtime stories, massage before bedtime, etc., to soothe their emotions before going to bed.

At the same time, parents take the lead to go to bed early and get up early, exercise regularly, face the disease, and pass on positive energy. Only then will they become the pillar of life and spiritual support for their children, so that they will have spiritual and psychological strength. Parents who set an example will inevitably lead and cultivate children who are role models.

Adults who can care for the body and have a solemn attitude towards life can give children better protection and guidance.

Therefore, every time a child gets sick as an opportunity for growth, their bodies will become stronger. As parents, we must prepare in advance to meet the changes and challenges of their children and provide a safe and relaxing environment for their healthy growth.
