The入园 situation of young children over consecutive years has reflected that not long after entering kindergarten, many babies end up catching colds every two or three days, causing their parents to become equally anxious.
Experienced doctors believe that children under the age of 4 have incomplete physical development and weak resistance, making them especially prone to catching colds. Things tend to get better as they grow older. This is indeed a fact. However, loving parents are eager to find methods for preventing and caring for their children's colds [as seen on Taobao online shopping process http://www.306543.com], in order to reduce the frequency and severity of their baby’s colds.
Under normal circumstances, colds mainly originate from the following two situations: The most comprehensive Crown stores! Online, helping you find the best sellers and products on Taobao, please remember our permanent domain www.taoiei.com [http://www.taoiei.com]. One is catching the [cold ball] in the air. We all know that cold viruses (bacteria) are mainly transmitted through droplets. When patients cough or sneeze, the virus (bacteria), this small [ball], flies around with fine droplets. If someone is within effective distance and inhales the cold virus (bacteria), it is equivalent to catching this [cold ball]. Children with poor resistance are more likely to catch a cold and fall ill. The second way is picking up the [cold ball] by hand. This is a reason that many parents often overlook. A baby with a cold wipes their nose, and their hands become contaminated with the virus or bacteria. Then they shake hands with another baby or play with the same toy. The other baby unconsciously picks their nose with their own hand, unintentionally using their hand to pick up the [cold ball]. Thus, the cold virus (bacteria) finds another new nose to trouble.
Regarding the frequent occurrence of colds among newly enrolled children, Deputy Director Huang said that actually, the main reasons for catching colds are mainly threefold.
1. Emotional tension and lack of security in unfamiliar environments reduces the child's immunity. For a 2-3-year-old child, entering kindergarten means a huge change in living environment: leaving the familiar home, the environment changes, surrounded by strangers, separated from the mother, and having various lifestyle changes... The child will feel a strong sense of insecurity and tension, especially for sensitive children, emotional impact can be even greater. Medical evidence shows that stress and pressure can cause a decrease in human immunity, let alone 2-3-year-old children. With low immunity, cold viruses (bacteria) naturally invade more easily.
2. The population density in daycare centers and kindergartens is relatively higher than in families, once there is any virus or bacteria, the chance of infection greatly increases. In collective life settings like daycare centers, one caregiver needs to look after dozens of children, which cannot be as thorough as at home. Moreover, the caregivers in the kindergarten may not fully understand the child's habits at home, and slight negligence during care can lead to children catching colds easily. Often, if one child catches a cold, the surrounding children are also easily infected.
3. Autumn weather is highly variable, some parents worry about their children catching colds, so they dress their children very warmly, which is undesirable. In kindergartens, children participate in many games and activities, leading to high activity levels. If children are dressed too warmly, they sweat easily, and wet clothes sticking to their bodies make them susceptible to chills and catching colds when exposed to wind.
So, how can we better keep our children away from the [cold ball]? Deputy Director Huang Honglin suggests: First, scientifically plan the entry into kindergarten. For physically weaker children, during the adaptation period for entering kindergarten, the child can first come to the kindergarten for half a day in the morning and return home after lunch. Such an arrangement helps relax the child emotionally and can also reduce cross-infection during nap time.
Second, cultivate good hygiene habits in children. Wash hands upon entering the house after going out, avoid randomly touching noses or faces with hands.
Third, dress appropriately to keep warm. Many children's colds are precisely due to being overdressed and "stifled." There are often some fun game activities in daycare centers or kindergartens, and children themselves are naturally active. Dressing them too much leads to easy sweating, and damp clothes cooling against the skin inevitably lead to chills and colds. Additionally, dressing too much and inconvenience in removing clothing also increases the chances of catching a cold during naps at daycare centers.
Fourth, respond promptly to sweating. For babies who sweat easily, parents can prepare several thin towels, asking the nursery staff to place them on the child's back during outdoor activities and naps, and replace them promptly when wet, effectively preventing colds.
Fifth, avoid cross-infection. If a child in the kindergarten has a cold, it's best to suggest they rest at home temporarily and not attend kindergarten to avoid cross-infection. During the peak season for colds, wearing masks can reduce the possibility of catching a cold.
