How to harden children depending on age

Main principles of tempering:

  • conduct tempering procedure not from case to case, and regularly;
  • the exposure time quenching factor to increase gradually;
  • combine the tempering procedure with exercise and massage;
  • consider the mood of the child and carry out tempering procedures in the form of games.


Hardening children up to a year
After daily bathing the baby sling water with a temperature 2-3 degrees below the temperature of the water in the tub.

Hardening of children from one year to three years
At this age it is possible to carry out a more intensive hardening of the child with water, especially if the kid was tempered from birth. Can hold a General sponge bath with water temperature 26-28 degrees or shower at the same temperature.

Hardening of children three years and older
In chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, adenoids), it is preferable to use contrasting tempering treatments: foot bath, shower or wiping.

Contrast shower bath legs
Requires two basin of water. The water level should reach the mid-calf of the child. In a basin the water may be hot — 38-40 degrees, in the other — during the first procedure by 3-4 degrees lower. Baby plunges feet first in hot water for 1-2 minutes, and then 5-20 seconds, in a cool. Time it should be gradually increased, and the temperature, on the contrary, to lower.

Douche
Kid standing under a hot shower for 1-2 minutes and then 10-20 seconds under cold, 3-4 degrees below.

Gradually every 7-10 days the temperature a cool shower can lower. Alternate "rain" need 5-10 times and finish with water a comfortable temperature.





In addition, it is useful to adapt the child to a cool drink. Children, who often have sore throat who does not without complications drink cold water or eat ice cream, you first need to accustom to the water at room temperature. Then dilute it with water from the fridge, and so gradually within a few months you can go for chilled drinks. To begin schooling to a cold drink better in the summer. You can also accustom to the cold with ice cream: start with a small spoon, gradually increasing the quantity.

Children with tonsillitis, especially those who have recently suffered an exacerbation, accustomed to the cold drink need much more careful. For example, brew the chamomile and let the child take it in his mouth in small SIPS, holding in the mouth, warming, rinse the throat but didn't swallow. Then you can slowly start adding the broth, a constant in the fridge, and every day to increase his share. (Decoction of chamomile is stored in the refrigerator for two days.)

Hardening of the child — a difficult task for parents, requires patience and a high discipline, but tempering brings invaluable benefits to the health of the baby that pays all expenses of forces and time.published
