How to begin tempering a child
Quenching the child can not start suddenly, the more you can immediately begin dousing with cold water. To the body can easily cope with the load, it must be prepared for them. Therefore, it is recommended to balance the nutrition first so that the child receives as much nutrients and vitamins as possible with food. Then it is important to teach the child to walk in any weather, if only the frost in the street is not more than 22 degrees. Such walks are useful for the body, but it is important that the baby is absolutely healthy. Do not go out in the rain or cold if the baby has a runny nose or fever.
The most effective way to prepare for tempering will be air baths. They are useful for babies, and for older children. It is possible to start such procedures from a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and below. Children from 5 years old can start taking air baths from 18 degrees Celsius. The child can remain in panties and be on air - at home or on the street 15 minutes. Every day, the temperature can be lowered, leaving the street earlier or later or opening the window for a longer time. The duration of the procedure should be increased, bringing it to 45 minutes.
Simultaneously with the air baths, it is necessary to teach the child to sleep with an open window, if the temperature on the street is not lower than 15 degrees. When frosts, the room where the child is located should be simply ventilated several times a day. This will help get used to cool temperatures.
Pouring
Water hardening of the child should be gradual. The younger the baby, the softer there must be a transition to it. Grudnikov is not recommended to pour cold water, instead of this, a wipe with a soft cloth moistened in cold water will do. In the same way, you can begin tempering in children from year to year. After such procedure, the child should be rubbed with a dry towel so that it warms up in the air. A necessary condition for such procedures is regularity, otherwise the child will never get used to temperature changes and there will be no sense in quenching.
The next stage is douche.
Pouring can begin in a month. Recommended for healthy children from 2 years. It is necessary to start with water at room temperature, gradually reducing it by 1 degree and bringing it to 26. Children from 10 years are shown pouring water that has a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and below. It is important that the transition to lower temperatures is gradual.
In addition, you need to visit the Besseyn, and in the summer to bathe in open water - this is also a great way to temper the body.
Pouring on the street can be only if the child is already 12 years old, he is healthy and well tolerates douche at home. In the winter it is impossible to pour in the street.
Climbing
Among other things, it is useful for children to walk barefoot. This is useful for those who often suffer from tonsillitis and other diseases of the throat, is a good prevention of flatfoot. Tempering a child in this way should also begin gradually. It can be introduced simultaneously with air baths. At first the child should walk on the floor only in thin socks, then without them. If the baby gets used to it, the problem of the cold floor will disappear from your life even in winter. It's great if the kid has the opportunity to walk barefoot on sand, grass or earth. The main thing that he did not meet broken glass and sharp stones.
Quenching a child is a complex process, this is not a matter of one month. Before the body and immunity strengthen, it will take several weeks. It is important to remember that you can not go to extremes. If the child is negative about tempering, especially if he is bothered with douche, then the procedures should be replaced with more sparing. When the child is sick, the procedure can not be carried out, but it can be started only 2 weeks after the illness. Quenching together and taking vitamins and proper nutrition gives an excellent result - you forget about colds for a long time, and your baby does not take breaks in development for illness!
