The rule "minus one"

Any mother at least once in her life heard what to eatThe baby can not. Thermoregulation in children is not the same as in adults, which means sweating and catching a baby is much easier than for parents. But still, every time mothers make the same mistakes: they put on an extra blouse ("Just in case, suddenly the wind will blow"), a woolen cap, although the end of May is in the yard ... As a result, a poor child runs all along the street and sweats, drops of sweat from the forehead. And you would see him in the locker room after a walk: the hair is wet, like after a shower, and a T-shirt - at least squeeze. I recommend that parents remember the rule "minus one". That is, you dress the child in the same way as yourself, but one layer of clothing is less.

Fleece - no, cotton - yes

Now popular fleece poddevy, whichit is customary to put under the outer clothing of the membrane. Fashion for such a combination came from Europe. For example, in Finland many people dress children like this: the first layer is a synthetic jacket and tights, the second layer is a fleece set and the third layer is a suit of membrane fabric. It is believed that in this outfit the child will not sweat, and therefore will not freeze. What's the catch? Often mothers do not observe this balance by wearing a fleece over cotton clothes and children walk wet! I advise you to give up fleece and other synthetic clothes in the spring-summer period. Many years of experience shows that there is nothing better than cotton.Photo: Getty ImagesFooders do not notice if the baby is fashionably dressed, but we immediately see if the clothes are dirty

Shoes - strictly in size

It is already quite warm, but not yet dry enough -It's time to wear rubber boots. Watch that they are high, otherwise the child will scoop the water out of the puddle. So that the legs do not sweat, do not put woolen socks under rubber shoes, cotton will be quite appropriate. If the child is freezing, buy a warm insole and insert it into the boot. For the summer, leather sneakers and sandals with a closed heel fit tightly on the foot. Very important point: choose shoes strictly in size. Of course, it is very practical - to buy shoes three centimeters more, but the child can not walk in them normally! In my practice there was a case when the boy during the walk "lost" the boot in the snowdrift - he was too big and flew from the foot. I had to deploy the entire group and return to the room. And another child could not participate in sports because of the fact that the sneakers were not in size and prevented from running. Believe, it is very insulting for the child!

More socks

In summer, children go to an easy wardrobe. It does not matter what you wear: thin panties, leggings, shorts, dress skirts, t-shirts, the main thing is that there are at least three pairs of socks in the locker. After all in warm time children walk twice a day, and socks become gray from dust and sand. In no case do not wear children's beach slaps, they jump off while running, and the child can fall or turn the leg. And remember that a child should not come to kindergarten without a headdress. So stock up with cotton caps, hats, bandanas and panama from natural fabrics. Kristina Shabalin, a kindergarten teacher:- There are things I will never recommendput on the child in kindergarten. These include any uncomfortable clothing: narrowed jeans, low-fitting trousers that bare the lower back when the child squats. These are clothes with a lot of buttons, fasteners, lace-up shoes, synthetics and mittens-leggings.
