The weather starts to get cooler after autumn. Parents should not blindly cover their children, but should know how to add clothes to their children correctly.

Text/Little Bear Parenting Diary

The hot summer is gone, autumn has arrived, and the weather begins to get cooler after autumn. This weather is the most comfortable.

But many parents become anxious as soon as they see the weather getting colder, and they begin to worry that their children will catch cold. There is also a popular saying on the Internet: "There is a kind of cold called your parents think you are cold." Parents always feel that their children are still young and cannot resist the cold, and they always wish that their children can wear more clothes.

I went to visit a friend's house today. Although it is already October, we are in the south and the climate is still very comfortable during this period. When I came to my friend's house, I found that my friend's son had already put on thick velvet clothes and pants, and my daughter was still wearing short sleeves. She was also surprised after seeing it. She quietly asked me: "Mom, this brother is not hot." "

I can only say to my daughter: "My brother is still young, maybe he is more afraid of the cold." Next, my daughter played with her friend's son, and they were playing in the yard. The little boy was sweating profusely from playing. He kept telling his mother that he was so hot, but his friend ignored him and only said to him: "You won't be hot after a while, be good."

Little Boy I had no choice but to sit on the sofa and watch TV, without speaking for a while. I went over and held his hand and found that he was a little hot. My friend took his temperature and found out that he had a fever. We rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said: "You are dressing your child too much. When the child is exercising, If the heat is not released, it is easy to catch a cold. ”

There are countless such things in our daily life. Why do parents always think that their children are afraid of the cold? Next we will analyze it for you.

According to Sun Kexing, chief physician of the Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, since autumn, many children in the pediatric department come for treatment because their parents do not dress their children properly.

Nowadays, some parents are physically weak and feel that their children are cold when they are cold; some think that their children are still young and are more afraid of cold; some use their hands and feet to judge whether their children are hot or cold. Parents should not always feel that their children are cold. Children are more afraid of heat than parents, and the child's hands and feet are cold because of low heart strength.

1. Parents have a weak constitution, and when they are cold they feel that their children are also cold

Some parents always feel that their children are cold because the parents have a weak constitution. When the parents feel cold, they will Will subjectively judge that the child will feel cold like him.

For example, if the child is brought up by an old man, who is relatively weak, he will feel cold as soon as autumn turns. At this time, the old man will blindly add a lot of clothes to the child because he feels cold, and they themselves If you are cold, your child will feel cold.

2. Feeling that the child is too young to withstand the cold.

In the opinion of some elderly people, "children are afraid of cold but not heat." The old man feels that as long as the children are so young, their physical development is not yet complete, and the children will be more afraid of the cold than adults. They are still so young and cannot resist the cold.

As soon as autumn comes and the weather turns cold, parents will put on thick clothes for their children, thinking that as long as their children don’t catch a cold, they won’t get sick or get cold. This is why parents think their children won’t get sick or get cold. The reason for the cold.

3. The child’s hands and feet are always cold

Some parents will judge whether the child is cold by looking at the child’s hands and feet. The child’s heart development is not perfect and the heart strength is weak, which affects the child’s health. The development of nerve endings keeps children's hands and feet in a cold state.

But this situation is normal. Some parents think that their children's hands and feet are always cold. It is because the children's hands and feet are cold that they feel that the children are very cold.

1. It is easy to get skin diseases

Parents are relatively weak and do not exercise regularly. They feel cold and think that their children will feel cold like themselves.

So they blindly add clothes to their children and put on thick clothes. The children are also sweating profusely due to the heat. If parents do not change their children's clothes in time, the children will be prone to skin diseases. Children's skin is relatively delicate and is prone to prickly heat and heat rash if it is soaked in sweat for a long time.

2. "Hot-covering Syndrome" is prone to occur

For some newborn babies, even if they are born in the hot summer, parents will wrap their children in thick quilts , I feel that the child is still too young and is more afraid of cold, and the child will be prone to "heat-covering syndrome".

The child will have symptoms such as difficulty breathing, fever, and hypoxia, which may even endanger the child's life. I believe parents have heard about the news in this regard. Many newborns are diagnosed with serious illness by their parents just after they are born. If parents blindly add clothes to their children for a long time, it will also affect the child's brain development and is not conducive to the child's growth.

3. Cause heat stroke

I once saw a typical case on the Internet. There was a little boy whose parents wrapped him tightly in winter. I started to feel weak and uncomfortable all over. Finally, the parents sent the little boy to the hospital. The doctor actually said that the little boy suffered from heatstroke. The reason was that the parents wore too many clothes for their children in winter.

Parents blindly adding clothes to their children can also cause heat stroke in their children, which is not conducive to their healthy growth.

1. Touch the child’s back to determine whether the child is hot or cold

After autumn, although the weather begins to get colder, parents should not think that their children are cold just because they feel cold, nor should they pass Use the child's hands and feet to determine whether the child is hot or cold. It is normal for children to have cold hands and feet. If a child has cold hands and feet, it does not necessarily mean that the child is cold. If parents feel cold, the child may not necessarily feel cold either.

Children are naturally active, and they are afraid of heat but not cold. Parents can judge whether their children are hot or cold by touching their backs. If the child's back is warm, not sweating or cold, there is no need to add more clothes to the child at this time. If the child's back is sweating, parents should change the child's clothes and reduce clothes appropriately.

If the child's back feels a little cold to the touch and his face turns pale at this time, parents should add more clothes to the child, but do not add too many clothes to the child at once. The clothes you wear only need to be one piece less than those worn by adults.

2. Add or remove clothes for children according to the temperature difference

At night, the weather starts to get cooler again. At this time, when parents take their children out, they should also add a small coat for their children. As long as you add or remove clothes according to the temperature difference, your child can be comfortable and grow up healthily.

3. Listen to your child’s feelings

When some parents add too thick clothes to their children, the child will tell the parents that he really feels hot. But parents will not listen to their children's feelings at this time. Netizens also call this "there is a kind of coldness called parents think you are cold", because parents think their children are cold, so they never listen to their children's feelings.

Although the child is still young, he knows how to judge whether he is cold or hot. Parents should listen more to their children's feelings. If the child tells the parents that he is hot, the parents should take off some thick clothes for the child. When the child is cold, he will naturally tell the parents, so that the child can grow up healthily.

The golden autumn of October has arrived, and many places have begun to get colder, but parents should not blindly add clothes to their children. They must know how to correctly judge whether their children are hot or cold, so that they can know how to add clothes to their children correctly and keep their children healthy. growing up.
