- Imagine, a week did not pass in the kindergarten,again we sit at home with ARVI, - Ira frustratedly corrects the scarf on the throat of the quiet Timofey. He really grows boy morbid. Tim's medical card is similar to the two-volume edition of Alexander Dumas's works. "I do not understand why the sores stick to him like that." - in the voice of Ira I hear immense fatigue. As described by Woman's Day family and age psychologist, writer Katerina Murashova, the problem can be not only in the weak physical health of the baby. Simply there are such children who constantly pick up any illness or disease. Moms rush with them on doctors, buy countless immunostimulants, but sores do not stop. In what here there can be a business?Photo: iStock/Gettyimages.ru
Basis of the basics
It happens that a child really has a weakhealth - chronic and even congenital diseases, genetic predisposition. But more often, unfavorable living conditions are to blame for illnesses. For example, dad smokes in the apartment, and grandma keeps the windows open in the cold. What to do? Create a healthy environment in the house, and to strengthen the immune system, remember about hardening, vitamins, proper nutrition and walks in the fresh air.
The habit of curing
It's hard to believe, but there are quite a few children withthick hospital card - these are patients who are being treated. Yes, some parents subconsciously need sick children. The situation is usually based on a real illness. For example, a child was born prematurely, he was nursed. The family's life was subordinated to the struggle for the baby's health. The efforts bore fruit - the child was cured or outgrew infantile ailments, but the habit of considering him sickly remained. And the baby is protected: they do not let him go to kindergarten because of supposedly lousy immunity, they do not enroll him in a sports section because the child is weak. And ... they treat! They examine and find at least something that could be "corrected". Just like in the book "Bury Me Behind the Baseboard." The child receives a list of diagnoses, albeit not dangerous, and the mother continues to heroically dedicate her life to him. What to do? Stop looking for mythical diseases. Find yourself a hobby - a more enjoyable and useful activity.
Disease as a bonus
And it happens like this.Every time a mother is going to send her baby to spend the night with grandma, his temperature rises. The parents put the child to bed and leave him at home. Or after a healed leg injury, the baby continues to limp. Why does this happen? The baby has realized that he is allowed to do a lot during illness. What to do? Emphasize that being sick is bad. Do not use sweet syrups for treatment (the medicine is bitter), forbid watching cartoons (the patient's eyes get tired), do not allow meetings with friends (they lie in bed during treatment). This will create an incentive for the child to recover quickly. And no, this is not at all cruel.
Secret Relationships
There is another phenomenon - the so-called schoolillnesses. For example, one child in the class has real gastritis, but five more complain of stomach pains during classes. The children really do experience unpleasant symptoms, although gastritis will not be detected during examination. The disease is caused by psychological reasons. Pure psychosomatics. What to do? Conduct an investigation. Does the child's leg hurt before classes in the sports section? Does he need training? Do you know exactly what happens in the gym? If a schoolchild feels dizzy before each math test, maybe he just needs tutoring? About 80 percent of similar situations are resolved if the parents are observant. Also interesting:
