Usually in children after 3-3,5 years of interest to work with peers, they begin to socialize. There is nothing wrong with the baby going to the kindergarten. Adaptation to the team usually takes from two months to six months, and this is inevitable. Indeed, at first the child will be sick more often than in the home. If the disease is mild, without causing complications, then there is nothing to worry about. Having become accustomed to "communicate" with different microbes in the garden, the organism of the crumbs will learn to resist them, and the frequency of the illness will decrease significantly over time. Now write down your son for developmental lessons, so the child will prepare not only for meeting microbes, he will learn to play collective games, observe the rules of behavior, wait their turn, etc. Optimal to begin visiting the garden in early autumn during a less acute exacerbation of the first childhood unpleasant ailments.
The abundance of seasonal vegetables and fruits, warm days, hardening by summer rest contribute to the maximum stability of the body. For 1.5-2 months before getting to know the kindergarten, adjust the mode of the crumbs day so that it resembles the regime of the garden as much as possible. Explain to the little one, why the children go there, lose the scenes from the life of a kindergarten with toys. Also, remember, summer is a good time to start hardening activities, especially if you have not paid enough attention to them so far.
Hyperactivity is a diagnosis?
Are there any methods of treating hyperactivity syndrome in children? Can correction of nutrition or any special programs help?
Children's hyperactivity requires the intervention of more than one specialist. First of all, show the baby to the neurologist, as the disinhibition in behavior can be one of the symptoms of certain diseases of the nervous system. The diagnosis of ADHD is established only if the baby does not suffer from mental or severe neurological disorders. If your baby is really hyperactive, the joint efforts of parents, a teacher and a psychologist will be required. Specialists will help you to develop such a style of communication with the child, so that he feels most comfortable, while learning to hold attention, take responsibility and bring the matter to the end. To teach the "difficult" kid to interact with other people is the basis of therapy for the first children's unpleasant ailments.Psychostimulants in our country have limited application - they can cause undesirable consequences.What can you do by yourself? Ensure restless motor activity.It will fit and sports children's section, and a horizontal bar at home.The kid should be able to "let off steam." In the diet give preference to fresh vegetables and fruits, porridge, meat, fish. Limit chocolate and cocoa, strong tea, coffee, mushrooms, rich broths, spices, smoked products. 1-2 times a year pass, the course of antihelminthic agents (worms can strengthen and provoke the symptoms of ADHD).
Restless sleep
Daughter a year and a half, in the evening it is very difficult to lay, and at night she wakes up at the same time. Could this be a symptom of some kind of disease? Eliminate the banal causes of poor sleep. If the baby sleeps for a long time during the day and by the evening just does not have time to get tired - you need to wake her up early. Any event in the life of a family also does not pass without a trace. Also restless sleep can be caused by teething, worm infestation, digestive disorders, etc. Show the daughter to the pediatrician to work out a plan for diagnosing such a violation together.
Against what are we fighting?
We have two sons (2 years and 8 months). If a cold catches one, another gets sick. With the diagnosis of "flu", the younger was prescribed an antibiotic against a viral infection, and the older one was given another dosage plus another antibiotic for cough.) How justified is the prescription of an antibiotic?
You are right, the purpose of antibiotic should be due to sufficiently valid reasons, and 3-4 times a year is very often. I do not think that a child with no serious health problems at least three times a year is seriously ill. And if this is so, then this situation should serve as a pretext for thorough follow-up. Antibiotics do not kill viruses. They act ONLY on bacteria. The vast majority of respiratory infections are caused by viruses. And bacteria can join later and cause complications if the body could not cope with the virus. The fact that in the development of the disease and the first children's unpleasant ailments the bacteria participate and the antibiotic should be prescribed, the following can say.
Symptoms:
- high body temperature lasts more than 3 days without a tendency to decrease, the usual antipyretic drugs based on paracetamol and ibuprofen are not effective;
- the child's well-being for more than three days remains bad - he is sluggish, does not eat well, he is not interested in games and cartoons.
In some cases, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic at the first visit, for example, such sicknesses as angina, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, are almost certainly caused by bacteria. If the doctor doubts whether antibiotic therapy is needed, he can advise you to take a blood test. Such an investigation will help to determine how pronounced the inflammatory process is, and approximately orientate - only the virus is guilty or the bacteria are also hostile in the child's body.
How to defeat atopic dermatitis?
At 5 months old, the granddaughter (we introduced lactation) started atopic dermatitis and dysbiosis. Surveys have shown an allergy to cow's milk, carrots, potatoes, onions, buckwheat, apples. The exclusion of these products did not solve the problem. How can you identify the cause of the disease? It is not always possible to identify the cause of atopic dermatitis in children. In your case, you should consult a gastroenterologist. In a children's gastroenterology center, you can get a specialist consultation and go through an outpatient or in-patient examination.
