How to save the health of schoolchildren

You can blame the school, we can praise, and the figures show one thing: healthy student - a rare bird, there are not more than 10%. The rest of the sick, with the majority - not a single disease. More often than not attached to the certificate card, which featured short-sightedness, gastritis and scoliosis. A child with a tired and twitching.

There is a proven method that helps cope with the effects of school stress. It is called mode. Observe it difficult and boring, but nothing else is working. We will understand how the regime will save from the disease.

Myopia

Vision problems are in the top five worst school gifts. You can write that children need outages every 40 minutes (at least), you can not spend more than 20-40 minutes a day in front of a computer screen, and in tablets and smartphones in general do not look. But we're in the real world, where it is impossible to comply with such requirements, especially when it comes to teenagers. What to do with the eyes?

Organize lighting and workspace.

Good lighting has to be in all workplaces of the child, in school and at home. The main rule - a child's eyes should not rest against the wall. Place the table so that the child could at any time to look out the window or at least go look around the room.

Buy the correct technique. Since not all the same gadgets anywhere, do not spare funds for good screens and comfortable seating. Readers, for example, is no worse than ordinary books, at least in high schoolTeksheva, LA M.Hygienic substantiation of readers in high school. .

But the use of laptops for children is not recommended: Due to the inability to move the keyboard children quickly get tired and start to slouch, lean towards the screen. It spoils and sight and postureStepanov, M. AND.Hygienic aspects of using a laptop in the training of younger schoolboys. .

Do not overload the child. Since most of the training takes place over the books, notebooks or in front of the screen, and suffer from her eyes. When grow future genius, keep the load withinSanPiN 2.4.2.2821-10.Sanitary-epidemiological requirements to the conditions and organization of education in educational institutions. .

The maximum permissible workload in training hours

The table above shows the weekly load. It includes everything classes, including pets. Roughly speaking, even a graduate should not learn more than his parents work. It is unlikely that all will be able to enter the tutoring and extra classes in such a rule, but at least keep it in mind not to go crazy if a child refuses to be recorded on the next circle.

violation of posture

Posture - is the vertical position of the body at rest and in motion. Correct posture - it is straight back, straightened his shoulders, raised his head. Everything else - the violation. Kids sit too much, no less than adults, and sometimes more. Therefore, incorrect posture is, every second student.

Constantly remind the child that it is time to straighten up, useless. Believe me, it does not help, you can only get bored with his endless: "Sit down smoothly."

Your task - to create conditions in which the child will form a muscular corset, not giving slouch.

• Put a table and chair on which to sit and be comfortable without reminders. Sitting on a chair, a child should be based on the feet and knees should be bent at a right angle. Lower the hand of the child sitting down: the elbow should be above the table top by 5-6 cm. The distance from the countertop to the eyes - 30-35 cm.
• Buy backpack with a firm back, which is worn on both shoulders. And do not overload it: the contents of backpack weight should not be more than 1.5 kg for the first graders. In the fourth class may be taken with a 2 kg, in the sixth - 2.5 kg, in the eighth - 3.5 kg. After the ninth grade to the end of the school to carry on its back relies not more than 4 kg. Thus he backpack should weigh a maximum of 700 gSanPiN 2.4.7.1166-22.4.7.Hygienic requirements for the publication of training for general and vocational basic education. .
• Record the child in a swimming pool or ask him to do exercises with elements yoga. This is a necessary minimum. If a child can not stand the pool, it can be replaced by other sport (chess is not considered). No matter how unsportsmanlike was a schoolboy to attend classes will have.

Gastritis

Many believe that gastritis - it's such a sore, which is at all, but to blame the sandwiches that kids wear to school. Therefore it is necessary to eat in the school cafeteria, always soup.

We will not deny benefits of soup, but the meal gastritis is not treated. The main culprit of the appearance of gastritis - the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Infected with it, really, a lot - up to 70% of the total population. Get sick, of course, smaller. That is not enough to catch, we still create the conditions under which bacteria begin their dirty deed.

The school is just such conditions and creates: primary school children complain of pain in 2.5 times more likely than older studentsBelmer, S. V. Gasilin, T. IN.Ambiguous answers to simple questions about chronic gastroduodenitis in children.

Why this difference? A lot of stress and a sharp change lifestyle - these are the very conditions that awaits bacterium.

The best way to protect yourself from problems with the stomach - it's not a dining room, a smooth adaptation to the school.

If a child is categorically opposed to the dining room, it is best to figure out how to feed him healthy and tasty food, but do not make more is through force.

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Description syndrome appeared recently, at the end of the XX century, and was associated with burnout at work. But children are not far behind: chronic fatigue syndrome, and reveal them. Suffer from it in high school students aged 15-18 years who want to combine their studies with preparation for university and a vibrant social activity.

A child who needs to perform all the tasks to reach the tutor exercise a hobby, and still sit in social networks or play in something, just do not have time to sleep and to relieve the brain.

And then there are signs of the syndrome: lack of strength, constant fatigue, memory impairment. Then there are headaches or back pain, aggravated all chronic diseases, manifested allergy, Which did not exist before, comes insomnia and depression.

What to do? Do not allow this. Load balancing, dilute the intellectual activity of moderate training, good nutrition and plenty of sleep.

Sleep standards for pupils

Since chronic fatigue creeps up to teenagers, is both reassuring and scary. A teenager can not be set rigid regime of work and rest, he may rebel. But the teenager was old enough to understand how important it is to think about your health.

weakened immune system

Often ill child - a nightmare all parents. Children are at risk because of SARS (ie frequent disease virus infections transferred the child to a group of sickly) is transmitted from person to person. And the children a lot of contact with people. His class, other classes during breaks, public transportation group in circles and sections - as a result the children suffer in 1,5-3 times more often than adults.

to strengthen Tips immunity so banal that even ashamed to recount. Sleep, walk, exercise, eat right, wash their hands often, to ventilate the room, spend more time on the street. Nothing to add, except that it is not clear why all of the above has not yet become mainstream.

Children and young people aged 5-17 years should be engaged in daily physical activity of moderate to high intensity for at least 60 minutes.

World Health Organization

Hour - it is a minimum, with an hour of pure running or training. Moderate activity should be at least two hours a day in view of charging. What sports do - it does not matter. Better, of course, be in the fresh air. But if you do not have opportunities every day to get to the good of the park, it is best to exercise in the hall than no exercise at all.

And what about hardening? If you walk a lot and actively, wearing light clothing, walking barefoot at home (even if you think that the floor cold), sleep with open window in any weather without warm milk or juice from the fridge, no dousing with cold water and winter swimming is not needed. And all of the above, you can get used gradually and painlessly.
