Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What medicines are the safest?
"... If it is impossible to raise a child so that he does not get sick at all, then, in any case, it is quite possible to maintain his high level of health."
Academician N.M. Amosov
Factors that directly affect the health of the child and are entirely dependent on the people involved in the care and upbringing of this child:
Proper nutrition;
Sufficient physical activity;
The maximum duration of the walk.
Child nutrition and health
Child health and proper nutrition are inextricably linked. This is a known fact. There is an opinion that a healthy, well-nourished child is one who eats on a schedule, four times a day, a balanced menu. However, this is not quite true.
A healthy, well-nourished child will definitely eat according to his appetite, which means that you don’t need to force the child to eat, he wants to eat, he doesn’t want to, and he doesn’t have to. After all, appetite is a clear indicator of the state of the body. Overeating is bad. So, a child who is forced to eat, in any case, overeats, which creates an additional load on the liver, can cause indigestion and many more troubles.
There is an optimal set of products, with the use of which the digestive organs will work "without failure." So for breakfast, fish, a boiled egg or an omelet, a cutlet, cottage cheese, porridge are suitable. And definitely some vegetables. As a drink, preferably hot milk or a coffee drink with milk, juice. Lunch - the maximum number of vegetables, including raw ones, in the form of vegetable salads or vinaigrette (possible with herring). The first hot dish (but not too voluminous) is soup and a high-calorie meat or fish dish with a side dish, mostly vegetables. For sweets - fruit juice, fresh fruits, fresh or dried fruit compote, but not jelly from concentrate. For dinner - dishes from cottage cheese, vegetables, eggs and sour-milk drinks.
Physical activity and its role in the health of the child.
An important social and hygienic factor affecting the health of children is physical education. Physical education, in the broadest sense of this factor, includes the systematic use of natural factors of nature (air, sun, water) in the upbringing of a child, the widespread use of various hardening methods, physical culture and sports, which change depending on the age of the child. Even in practically healthy children, significant individual fluctuations in their physical, motor, mental development are possible, associated with their peculiarities in constitutional characteristics, with the conditions for raising a child. Physical education is of great importance for the proper development of children. It should be one of the daily routine moments in the life of healthy children.
Physiotherapy is even more important, especially such elements as massage and gymnastics in the treatment of sick children. Physical education gives positive results only if the whole life of the child is properly organized and in the presence of a prosperous environment. In the absence of this, physical education, as a rule, is ineffective, often useless, and sometimes can be harmful. In the physical education of children, along with physical therapy and sports, massage (especially in young children) and gymnastics, the correct and systematic use of natural factors of nature is of exceptionally great importance. Thus, if carried out correctly, hardening is one of the main means of general improvement of the child's body, prevention of diseases and ensuring the harmonious development of the child.
Massage is a method of non-specific therapy, and physical exercises are a means of stimulating physiological processes in a child's body. Gymnastics and morning exercises are a means of developing the quality of movements and at the same time a means of maintaining a positive emotional tone. Thus, the importance of physical education for the child's body is difficult to overestimate. However, in many families this aspect of the child's life is given very little attention. And we must be guided by the fact that a person needs physical training of his body, and from early childhood. And for this it is not necessary to attend paid training events, it is enough to run with the child during a walk, jump and, in general, instill in him a love for physical activity. At the same time, you need to dress accordingly. After all, it is logically clear that clothing should be comfortable and it should not be hot in it.
The health of a child directly depends on how much he has the opportunity to train himself and his body, and how much this habit will accompany him in adulthood.
Contact with nature and its impact on the health of the child.
Why is fresh air so important for a child's health? The cause of 90% of acute respiratory infections in children are viruses. Viruses survive very well in house dust and stagnant warm air. And such conditions are everywhere - indoors, at home, at work, in the garden, at school, where, in addition to the battery, there are a couple of heaters, and a draft is perceived as a direct threat to life. On the street, catching a virus, for example, the flu, is possible only from an infected person; in moving cool air, he will surely die quickly. But in a warm, unventilated room, the virus will perfectly find a place for itself. And what else allows us not to get sick when we meet with the virus - local immunity.
Our respiratory organs produce mucus, which in large quantities contains substances that allow us to kill viruses. But for the correct fight against viruses, the mucus must have a normal state of density and certainly not be dry. And what affects the state of mucus? Air humidity. Outdoors, humidity is usually within acceptable limits, while indoors, there are many factors that ensure dry air. And in dry air, the mucus in the nose dries up, which makes it difficult to breathe and does not allow local immunity to perform the main task.

education health child family
The most unfavorable factor affecting the health of the child (of those related to lifestyle) is the addiction of parents to bad habits. Considering the harmful effects of bad habits on the health of children, it is necessary first of all to note the multilateral nature of such an impact. The harmful effects of alcohol abuse, smoking, drug addiction are felt by a fragile child's body both directly (in the form of inhalation of tobacco smoke or through mother's milk), and through hereditary factors (the effect of alcohol, tobacco, drug-containing substances on the reproductive cells of the parents' body), as well as in the form various stressful situations that affect the child's psyche, which may occur in families where one of the family members abuses alcohol (or is addicted to drugs).
Special mention should be made of the dangers of smoking. It largely depends on the family whether the child will be a heavy smoker or stop in time. Let us repeat once again the common truth: children from smoking families, and it does not matter whether their mother or father are prone to this addiction, usually start smoking early themselves.
The influence of bad habits of parents is reflected in their children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. Parents who smoke often forget about the "secondhand smoke" they expose their children to on a daily basis.
If parents do not smoke, then the probability that children will not smoke is 1.5 times higher. At the same time, the example of non-smoking parents is more important for boys.
The best way for a child to stop smoking is for everyone in the family to stop smoking. The readiness of parents to make certain sacrifices in the name of the health of their son or daughter is a very serious incentive for a child. Only the promise given to the children should be kept! If parents break down themselves, then what to demand from a teenager.
Children tend to want to grow up faster and therefore begin to adopt the habits of their parents, therefore, parents need to be better.
An important social and hygienic factor affecting the health of children is physical education. Physical education, in the broadest sense of this factor, includes the systematic use of natural factors of nature (air, sun, water) in the upbringing of a child, the widespread use of various hardening methods, physical culture and sports, which change depending on the age of the child. Even in practically healthy children, significant individual fluctuations in their physical, motor, mental development are possible, associated with their peculiarities in constitutional characteristics, with the conditions for raising a child.
However, in many families this aspect of the child's life is given very little attention. To the question: “Do you yourself engage in physical education with your child?” 20% of the interviewed parents answered in the negative, 54.3% do physical education of their children irregularly, and only 26.7% do it all the time. In most cases, this situation is explained by the fact that the parents themselves do not engage in their physical training. So, for example, 53.4% of mothers and 60.9% of fathers do not do morning exercises at all, therefore, they do not instill these skills in their children. Only 4% of mothers and 4.8% of fathers always do exercises, the rest do it irregularly. In accordance with the behavior of parents in matters of physical culture, children behave in a similar way.
Factors affecting children's health: living conditions in the family
“To make a child smart and reasonable,
Make him strong and healthy."
Jean Jacques Rousseau
Modern living conditions place increased demands on the state of physical and mental health of a person, especially children, starting from a very young age. Health protection of the younger generation is one of the most important problems of Russian education. The creation of favorable pedagogical conditions conducive to strengthening the health of children is not a sufficiently effective measure. It is well known that the conscious inclusion of parents in a single process of raising a child, jointly with teachers, can significantly increase its effectiveness.
The foundation of a child's health is laid in the family. The health of children directly depends on the living conditions in the family, health literacy, hygiene culture of parents and their level of education. Often the level of knowledge and skills of parents in the field of cultivating the habit of a healthy lifestyle is low, and interest in this problem arises only when the child already needs psychological or medical help. Most parents do not understand the very essence of the concept of "health", considering it only as the absence of diseases, completely ignoring the relationship of physical, mental and social well-being.
One of the important tasks of the family is to raise children healthy, strong, strong. Their physical development completely depends on the way of life of the family. Parents need to create conditions in the family for raising a healthy child. It is the family that organizes a rational home regime - doing homework, sleep, optimal motor regime, rational nutrition, hardening, personal hygiene, moral and ethical education.
Of particular importance is the mode of the day. Its observance contributes to the normal functioning of the body of its internal organs and physiological systems, provides a balanced vigorous state, protects the nervous system from overwork, creates favorable conditions for timely development, and forms the ability to adapt to new conditions. Schoolchildren's home regimen is one of the important components of family education, which allows them to maintain a high level of efficiency, postpone fatigue and eliminate overwork, rationally combine mental and physical labor, the ability to choose the right time and type of rest. Adults must strictly monitor how much time children spend watching TV, computers, playing games on their mobile phones. The continuous use of this technique affects the nervous system of children, tires them, reduces efficiency, and disturbs sleep.
An equally important condition is the optimal motor mode and physical activity. L.A. Kamensky noted: "The more a child does something: runs, plays - the better he sleeps, the better his stomach works, the faster he grows, he becomes stronger physically and spiritually." (“The Art of Being Healthy”, 1987, p. 4).
Optimal motor mode is the most important condition for maintaining health. It is based on systematic exercise and sports, and this, in turn, creates the best conditions for work and recovery.
First, parents should supervise morning exercises. Its purpose is to accelerate the transition of the body from sleep to wakefulness, to the work ahead and to provide a general healing effect. Gymnastic exercises should be performed in a well-cooked room, with an open window or vent. It should be remembered that the supply of the required amount of clean air into the room and the removal of air polluted by waste products is important and necessary.
For the preservation of health and the development of courage, common games are of great importance, especially in the fresh open air, hiking, fishing, playing sports. Parents should provide the child with the opportunity to do gymnastics, skate, ski, boat, bike, purchase sports attributes (balls, jump ropes, etc.). With a child, walks and excursions should be carried out. The example of parents encourages the child to take care of his own health and go in for sports.
One of the conditions for good health is a balanced diet. It should be varied, with a sufficient amount of vitamins. Food should be high in calories, with a variety of fruits and vegetables. It is important to consider the diet.
An important element of a healthy lifestyle is personal hygiene. It includes body care, clothing and footwear hygiene. It is important to teach children in the family from an early age to cleanliness, compliance with elementary hygiene standards.
The concept of health is closely related to the concept of well-being - the ability to live in harmony with oneself, relatives, friends. Negative emotions (envy, anger, fear, etc.) have tremendous destructive power, positive emotions (laughter, joy, gratitude, etc.) ) maintain health, contribute to success. Therefore, parents need to create conditions for the psychological comfort of their children. The family gives support to feelings, dreams, hope, helps the implementation of life plans. It prepares a person for life in society, teaches you to work, create, love your work, bring your plans to the end.
Remember: how the parents wake up the child depends on his psychological mood for the whole day.
If parents have the opportunity to walk to school with their child, do not miss it. A joint road is a joint communication, unobtrusive advice.
Learn to meet children after school. You should not be the first to ask the question: “What grades did you get today?” It is better to ask neutral questions: “What was interesting at school?”, “What did you do today?”, “What are you doing at school?”.
Rejoice in your child's success. Do not get annoyed at the moment of his temporary failures. Patiently, with interest, listen to the child's stories about the events in his life.
The child must feel that he is loved. It is necessary to exclude shouts, rude intonations from communication, create an atmosphere of joy, love and respect in the family.
Readiness for a healthy lifestyle does not arise by itself, but is formed in a person from an early age, primarily within the family in which the child was born and raised. The task of parents is to create living conditions that help preserve and strengthen the health of their child, to convey the importance of daily health care to his consciousness, to teach the art of health promotion. He must realize that health for a person is the most important value, the main condition for achieving any life goal, and everyone is responsible for maintaining and strengthening their health. This art is mastered by children in the process of joint activities with their parents. Parents should not direct their children to the path of health, but lead them along this path by their own example. And remember that the health of children is in their hands!
Every mother wants her baby to be happy and healthy. But not all parents at the same time understand what makes up the normal state of their child. What factors influence the state of his health? Which of these influences is more important, and which fades into the background? However, the answers to these questions will help the mother understand which aspects of life she needs to pay special attention to. So today we will just analyze in more detail those factors that affect children's health.
Parental health
As you know, the genetic component plays a rather important role in the development of health. However, many attribute much more to heredity than they should. In fact, the likelihood of developing certain pathological conditions is more dependent on environmental influences.
Nevertheless, a lot in the development of his health at the initial stage depends on how the parents prepared for the birth of the baby, because the predisposition to certain diseases is laid down in the mother's womb. So if mom and dad, even before the conception of the crumbs, passed all the necessary studies, gave up bad habits, cured all diseases, then their child has a better chance of being born completely healthy.
Ecology
Unfortunately, this factor has a fairly significant impact on the formation of a child's health. During pregnancy, it is advisable for the expectant mother to be in green areas more, not to breathe smoke and. After the birth of a child, you need to walk with him in nature, go to the sea for the summer or away from a noisy city, for example, to a village.
Microclimate in the family
This factor plays a very important role in the development of the health of the child and adolescent. Many experts argue that the diseases that a person encounters throughout his life are mostly psychosomatic in nature. This means that they are provoked by some kind of trouble, unresolved conflicts and other problems.
For young children, their whole world is a family, so if parents love each other, give each other attention and tenderness, then the child has every chance to grow up emotionally adequate and physically healthy. The influence of constant scandals, quarrels and even fights leads not only to psychological trauma, but also to obvious diseases. In addition, children with emotional instability often become aggressive, associate with bad companies, try alcohol and cigarettes at an early age, which accordingly affects their health.
Lifestyle
The main influence on the health of the child is the lifestyle that the family leads and according to which he has to live himself. This factor includes several sub-items, namely proper nutrition, adequate physical activity and exposure to fresh air (hardening, walking, etc.).
Nutrition
So the health of the baby and proper nutrition are closely interconnected. This fact is known to each of us. Many people believe that healthy children should eat only on schedule - four times a day. However, this opinion is erroneous. With the right approach to nutrition, the child should eat according to his appetite, so you don’t need to force him to eat if he doesn’t want to.
The desire to eat is a clear indicator of the state of the body, and overeating can be harmful. With force-feeding, overeating occurs, and this overloads the stomach and brings a lot of trouble.
For good nutrition, vegetables and fruits, fish, lean meat, and eggs must be present in the child's diet. Do not forget about dairy products, juices, cereals. Parents should correctly distribute the nutritional set for the whole day, so that the child receives all the substances he needs to ensure full growth and development.
Physical exercise
Children need to be involved in sports from an early age. Even with babies, you can attend classes in the pool, go to massage sessions and physiotherapy exercises.
Older children will benefit from various paid training events, or just long ones.
It is especially useful to spend as much time as possible with the child, showing him by example that physical education and sports are good. An excellent tradition is family Sunday rollerblading, morning or evening jogging at the nearest stadium.
During any sports activities, parents should take into account that the blood circulation in a child works much better than in an adult, so it is easier to dress an active baby than yourself.
Fresh air and hardening
To grow a really healthy baby, you need to devote time to hardening it. This is dousing with cool water, and walking in any weather, and walking barefoot. Even from infancy, you need to leave the baby naked for a kind of air baths. All these activities train the immune system, helping it to adequately respond to environmental changes. Thanks to this, the child will normally endure drafts, cold snaps, attacks of microbes and viruses, and in case of diseases, recovery will occur much faster.
Conclusion
It can be seen offhand that more than three-quarters of the factors influencing and shaping the health of children depend on their parents. Of course, the health of a child depends on many factors, but the main criterion for its formation is the right way of life for both the baby and his parents. And you do not need to shift your responsibility to the kindergarten and school. Don't self-deceive! What you sow is what you reap...
