Recently, many teachers and doctors have been raising a topic called " Children's health in our hands." It is about this that it is customary to talk with parents. And, of course, give them some recommendations, as well as instructions and advice. Today we will try to understand what they are talking about at such meetings. And we will study the methods that allow you to conduct a conversation as successfully as possible. These recommendations are suitable for kindergartens and schools. Although, perhaps, the topic "Children's health is in our hands" is something useless and unnecessary for parents who themselves know how to protect their offspring?
Relevance
Most parents themselves understand the importance of supporting the health of the younger generation. In the modern world, crowded with harmful and aggressive factors, you can ruin a child at the very beginning of its development.
For this reason, many doctors and teachers repeat to parents: "The health of the child is in your hands." Often, schools conduct relevant discussions on this topic. And they are popular with conscious moms and dads. Indeed, not all parents know how to properly protect their own child and his health.
For future parents
“Children's health is in our hands” - this is how the first lectures for future parents often sound. More precisely, for pregnant women. They are usually held in special courses. And children's health is given special attention.
If we talk about the meeting for expectant mothers, then this direction contains stories about how a pregnant woman should behave in order to maximize the proper development of the child. How to eat, sit, stand. What can and should not be given to a baby after birth. All this is told at such meetings. As practice shows, it is best for doctors to do this.
Only such consultations can be forgotten over time. For this reason, they are duplicated in kindergartens and schools. What is it worth talking to parents about? How to successfully hold an appropriate meeting?
Kids and Gadgets
Today, the question of the "relationship" of children with gadgets is almost always raised. After all, this is an important point that should be present in the conversation on the topic "Children's health in our hands." Scientists have proven that modern kids (even preschoolers) spend too much time with technology. Of course, it does not always favorably affect their development.
It is worth telling parents that children at a certain age gadgets do more harm than good. If a child constantly (from birth) plays computer games, communicates little with peers, does not see ordinary toys - pyramids, cars, dolls, utensils, then he has a delay in the development of mental and speech, imagination. Everything should be in moderation. It is not necessary to completely detach the child from technology, but their constant "communication" can do much harm. By the way, up to 3 years, children are generally not desirable to show gadgets. Students can spend about 2 hours a day at a computer or tablet. And nothing more. This information needs to be conveyed to all mothers, fathers, grandparents.
Food
Children's health in the hands of parents is a fact. After all, up to 18 years, it is relatives who are responsible for the child. Just before this moment, the main formation of health and immunity takes place. And very often it all depends on proper nutrition.
The consultation "The health of the child in our hands" must necessarily include a conversation on the diet of the modern baby.
Report that in the diet of the student (and indeed, the child) should only be healthy foods. It is mainly fruits and vegetables. Meat and fish should be non-greasy, without many spices. Steamed dishes are welcome. Report to parents that if they do not monitor what their children are eating, then in the future, babies may have digestive and stomach problems and allergies. Restoring health will be difficult.
Harmful drinks and snacks (like Coke and chips) should be limited. And giving is extremely rare. Let the parents ignore all the vagaries and tantrums in this regard. Sometimes it’s not so easy, but you have to try. After all, you have to remember that the health of children is in the hands of parents.
Sport
The next point that you should definitely touch upon is sport in a child’s life. Modern children are not very keen on sports clubs and sections. And that becomes a problem. Parent meeting "The health of the child is in your hands" should include a conversation regarding this area.
It must be explained that for children sport is an important component. After all, it helps to keep fit, and also contributes to the proper development of the body, the formation of posture, on which the proper functioning of internal organs largely depends. The task of parents is to arouse interest in sports among their children. Let them show all the benefits by their own example, and also offer the child to choose a sports section for himself. You can bring it to a few lessons for review, so the kid (or teenager) will quickly understand what he likes.
Law
Of course, one should not neglect such a topic as legislation. According to him, the health of children in the hands of parents is up to adulthood. And this fact is worth clarifying.
It is worth emphasizing that those who gave birth to the baby are primarily responsible for safety. Otherwise, punishment follows. The most harmless is a warning and registration with a social service. If you do not cope with guardianship and upbringing, then you will simply be deprived of parental rights. And then all the work to ensure the health and safety of the younger generation will be transferred to the state or new guardians.
True, this direction should not be given much time. After all, everyone already knows that parents are fully responsible for the child (including his behavior, including) until he comes of age. It is much more important to give some tips that will help organize this process with maximum results.
Behavior
How should the consultation "The health of the child in your hands"? An important point here is the mention that it is the parents who must somehow form the norms of behavior in the baby. Teach him what to do and what not. The child needs to be raised - this is a fact. Otherwise, huge damage will be done to his health, psyche, and development as a whole. The parent meeting “Children's health is in our hands”, in which there will be a place for discussion about the formation of proper behavior, will bring good success. Especially if your advice is followed.
During the consultation, you need to explain how to behave in certain situations: what to do if an outsider suddenly comes up to meet you, how to behave at home without adults. In general, now it is customary to shift this obligation partially to educational institutions. But it is the family that should shape the behavior of the baby.
Daily regime
Children's health in the hands of adults has long been a known fact. It’s not just that they say that parents are the first teachers. So, it is precisely on them that all responsibility for the development of the child lies (even if legislation is not taken into account). An important point in the formation of good health is the regime of the day.
If you correctly formulate the regimen of a child’s day, then this will not only have a beneficial effect on its development, but also eliminate future health problems. Chronic lack of sleep is a common diagnosis, which is now made even for children. Especially for teens. Therefore, it is important to explain to parents that the child should go to bed on time - no later than 22-00. Exceptions can be made in special cases, but very rarely.
Violation of the daily routine can lead to huge health problems in the future. And no one except the parents can control this process. So, children's health is in our hands. Consultation for parents, conducted in the above areas, is likely to cause a lot of indignation and statements from the category of "Yes, we already know everything!". But stick to the plan anyway.
Walks
We must not forget that an important moment for the formation of immunity is walking. They should be given due attention. Especially in fine weather and summer.
Please advise that the child should spend about 1.5 hours a day outdoors. It is desirable just in nature, away from roads, cars and other polluted places. With all this, it is desirable that the child actively moves during walks. Or even go in for sports. You do not need to force him. Everything should be voluntary. For example, advise you to go for walks with your child more often in yards, where there are sports grounds and a variety of sports equipment. So parents will be able to arouse the child’s interest in healing without coercion. It is very important.
Tests
We have almost finished our discussion on the topic “Children's health is in our hands”. In conclusion, a little testing is recommended for parents. Let them answer how they see to it that their children develop correctly and well.
Special questions will help . Their templates can be found anywhere. You can also create your own questions. The main thing is that parents can answer how their child eats, what they do to improve the schoolchild, and what they limit. In addition, let them describe whether their children go to sports clubs, what are they interested in. Ask about future plans for child safety and health. Collect the results. Based on them, you can summarize, give individually recommendations to support the health of the student in each individual case.
Psyche
Another important issue is the formation of the child’s mental health. This is a huge problem in the modern world. The parental meeting, “The child’s health is in your hands,” must address this issue without fail.
It is necessary to convey to parents that the child should be brought up, grow and develop in a favorable atmosphere. After all, all the negative effects on psychological health. And often it is precisely the parents that negatively affect him. Especially during adolescence, when a child has his own opinion and outlook on life.
Any parent is obliged to contribute to the maintenance of a family only favorable and friendly atmosphere. Otherwise, the student will be inflicted tremendous harm. No one except parents can affect the psyche of a child to such an extent. After all, most of the time children spend with family members. Once this topic has been studied, you can end the meeting. If you think about it, there’s nothing difficult about it.
