Why send children to kindergarten in winter?

"Teacher, our child is ill and won't go to kindergarten today. Please give her a day off. "

"Teacher, obviously a little cold, take a day off at home!"

"Teacher, Tong Tong is not in good spirits this morning. He won't go to kindergarten today!"

Recently, teachers often receive news that parents ask for leave for their children. In winter, when the weather is cold and the flu is rampant, many children will catch a cold and get sick, especially the younger ones. Many parents think that it is easy for children to catch a cold when they go to kindergarten in winter, and even some parents simply let their children rest at home instead of going to kindergarten in order to avoid their illness.

However, can children really avoid catching a cold without going to kindergarten?

Why do children love to get sick in winter?

Let's first look at why children love to get sick in winter. The main reasons are as follows:

Reason 1: Winter is the high season of influenza.

When the weather is cold in winter, the air humidity decreases, and the cold virus is easier to survive and reproduce. At the same time, in order to keep warm, indoor ventilation time is generally less, and the air is not circulated. In a closed space, bacteria will spread droplets to children's mouth and nasal cavity by sneezing and coughing. In addition, cold air can also stimulate respiratory mucosa. Under the dual influence of bacteria and cold air, children will inevitably get sick and catch a cold.

Reason two: lack of exercise.

Exercise is an important way for children to exercise and improve their immunity. However, due to the cold weather, many parents have reduced their children's time for outdoor activities. Many parents are afraid that their children will be tired, and there will be elevators when they go out, so they will pick up cars everywhere. Children's lack of exercise, coupled with irregular diet, can easily cause indigestion or food accumulation.

Reason 3: Improper dressing.

There is a kind of coldness called "Mom thinks you are cold". Many parents are afraid that their children will catch a cold and wrap them up tightly, thinking that they will not get sick. In fact, children are naturally active and prone to sweating. After the wind blows, they are more likely to catch a cold, which is not good for their health. In addition, children wear too many clothes, and their body temperature is too different from the outside temperature, which is easily stimulated by the outside environment, leading to colds and fever.

Reason 4: Sleeping and catching cold.

When sleeping, some children are playful and toss and turn, and some children have the habit of kicking the quilt. The temperature is low in winter, even if the air conditioner is turned on, it is easy to catch a cold, which is also an important reason for inducing a cold.

In kindergarten, children are healthier.

As can be seen from the above, the child's cold and fever is due to poor care and immature immune function, not because of going to kindergarten. On the contrary, in kindergarten, children's exercise is strengthened, their lives are more regular, and they can grow up healthily and happily in a cheerful collective atmosphere.

Persisting in exercise makes children healthier and happier.

A large number of facts show that children who insist on taking part in outdoor activities are less likely to catch a cold than those who have less outdoor activities, and their physical fitness is better able to adapt to and resist cold weather.

In kindergarten, exercise is an essential activity every day. The Guide to Learning and Development for Children Aged 3-6 clearly points out: "Children's outdoor activities are generally not less than 2 hours a day, of which sports activities are not less than 1 hour." Children can not only breathe fresh air, but also enhance their physical fitness and immune function by playing suitable sports and games outdoors, and their children will become healthier and healthier.

Reasonable diet, balanced nutrition and good health.

Children are in a critical period of physical development and need reasonable nutrition and rich diet. Many parents will cook children's favorite meals, which will lead to children's picky eaters. However, in kindergarten, teachers and health care doctors will make reasonable recipes, pay attention to the balanced collocation of staple food, meat, fruit, vegetables, soup and other foods to meet the needs of children's physical development, and children's health will be great.

Integrate education into life and let children develop health awareness.

It is better to protect yourself than to protect yourself. In kindergarten, teachers will integrate health education into daily life through teaching activities, nursery rhymes and environmental creation, and help children develop good health habits through personal practice. For example, drink more water every day; Wash your hands before and after meals, and don't get your sleeves wet when washing your hands, so that children can learn to take care of themselves and take care of themselves better.

The following children's songs of washing hands may wish to take the children to learn ~

Winter nursing advice for parents

Parents are most worried when their children are ill. Some parents dress their children like balls to prevent colds. Some parents even ask teachers not to let their children go out to do morning exercises. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. In order to help children spend the cold winter healthily, parents may wish to take the following measures:

1. Outdoor activities are essential.

Don't stop your child from exercising because of the cold weather. You should take your children out for exercise on weekends and holidays, and try to keep up with kindergarten activities. Only when you are strong can you ensure that you stick to the park.

Reasonable dress

Dress your child properly and increase or decrease with the temperature change. Clothes should be moderate, and the back should not sweat. Don't suddenly increase or decrease. It is best to put a sweat towel on your back when you are active.

3. Keep indoor air circulation.

Keep the room clean and often open the window for ventilation, so that the indoor air is fresh and sunny. Try not to take children to closed playgrounds or crowded places to prevent cross-infection.

4. Let children wash their hands frequently and drink plenty of water.

Always remind children to wash their hands before and after meals, drink plenty of water every day and develop good hygiene habits.

The solstice of winter is coming, and the weather will get colder and colder. I hope that under the dual protection of kindergarten teachers and parents, every child can become a little soldier in winter and spend the cold winter healthily.
