Diary of Day Care Observation from Diet and Outdoor Activities

In spring, it is warm and cold, and the temperature changes greatly. Children's skin is thin, and the cold can't adjust itself. Moreover, the nasal cavity is short and the mucosal blood vessels are rich. When the local mucosal blood vessels contract, the blood circulation is damaged, and the resistance is reduced, it is easy for viruses and bacteria to multiply in large numbers, thus leading to repeated respiratory infections in children. So how to effectively prevent it?

First, cooperate at home and cultivate good habits. Kindergartens and families should cultivate children's good hygiene habits, such as washing hands frequently, not touching nose and eyes, and not spitting. And teach children the correct way to wipe their noses. We suggest that parents wash their faces and noses with cold water in the morning and evening to enhance the adaptability of children's nasal mucosa to cold air. It is best to start washing your face with cold water in summer or spring when the weather gets warmer. Once they start, they should stick to it, even in winter. Always open the window indoors for ventilation. Keep the room moist. Kindergartens regularly disinfect the air, and children's sheets and bedding should be washed and dried frequently. In addition, dust should be avoided as much as possible when cleaning, especially children should not be allowed to smoke passively.

Second, regular exercise strengthens children's physique. Children should have enough outdoor activities every day in kindergarten, so that children can get enough sunshine and breathe fresh air. Kindergarten also arranged a variety of physical exercise programs for large class children to improve their own resistance. We also suggest that parents make full use of weekends, take a walk after meals, play parent-child games that children are willing to accept, and gradually increase the amount of exercise. The climate in spring is changeable, so parents and teachers should add or subtract clothes for their children in time to avoid catching cold and ensure their children's exercise.

Third, rational nutrition and scientific arrangement of meals. On the one hand, it is necessary to prepare diversified nutrition recipes for children, strive for balanced nutrition, and ensure that children get enough protein and vitamins to meet their growth needs. On the other hand, parents should also provide their children with reasonable and nutritious meals at home. In children's diet, the family should synchronize, encourage children to drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and enhance their resistance.

Fourth, take good care of it. Take preventive measures. On sunny days, children spend a relatively long time outdoors, and it is easy to sweat if they wear too many clothes. Once the activity is over, it is easy to catch a cold, and children with weak constitution often catch a cold. Therefore, before taking children to outdoor activities, we should take off 1-2 clothes for children who wear too many clothes and help them to stuff their underwear to avoid catching cold. At the same time, we should ensure their safety. Observe the child's sweating at any time and wipe it in time, and put on clothes in time after the activity. It is also very important to remind children to drink water before they start activities, so as to avoid dehydration caused by sweating and prevent thirst from causing pharyngitis.

In addition to the above practices, parents should take their children to public places as little as possible when a cold is prevalent in spring. If family members have cold symptoms, they should do a good job in protecting their children as soon as possible, such as taking some Chinese patent medicines such as Radix Isatidis and antiviral granules for prevention, so as to avoid and reduce the chance of respiratory tract infection in children.
