Tempering a child in the summer

Deciding to begin tempering a child in the summer, it is importantcorrectly choose methods of hardening. They will depend on the age of the child and the state of his health: the younger the child, the weaker his immunity, the more sparing should be the methods of hardening. The hardening must be gradual and systematic, only so you will achieve the desired effect.

There are several types of hardening: air, water, solar. It is best to combine them among themselves, again, taking into account the age of the child. Beginning with air hardening: it is suitable even for infants (of course, whenobservance of certain rules). The simplest way to air hardening is long walks in the fresh air in warm, windless weather. Naturally, the child should be dressed in the weather.

Also baby can sleep in the fresh air: on the balcony, loggia, veranda. The weather, again, should be warm. Take care that wherever the child sleeps, there are no drafts. Of course, night sleep in the open air is best not to practice: in summer there can be significant differences between day and night temperatures. But daytime sleep in the open air is what is needed for successful hardening.

The most effective and affordable is the water hardening of a child in summer, by which is meant primarilybathing in natural reservoirs. But there are some limitations. Up to three years of bathing a child in rivers and lakes is not recommended. Do not immediately allow the child to swim: to begin with, just regularly dip the child into the pond to get used to the water.

For the first bath (and for the subsequent too) you need to choose a clean pond with a flat bottom and a good entrance to the water. The water temperature at the first bath should be at least 22 degrees. The first bathing should be short-lived,gradually it will be possible to increase their duration to a quarter of an hour with a break of 30 minutes between bathing. If a child suffers from a chronic respiratory disease, water can be used only when the disease does not make itself felt.

Effective can be and solar hardening, but do not let the child stay in the sun for a long time without a hat and constantly monitor his condition. Do not make a child lie undersun - let him run and play. In hot weather, it's better not to risk, let the child be in the shade: there he will still get his portion of ultraviolet. It is very important to protect the child from a thermal shock (and even more so from a solar one).

A perfect combination of air, water and solar hardening is a trip to the sea, because there are also curative sea air, and fresh vitamins, fresh berries, fruits and vegetables. Rest on the sea is a complex tempering of the child in the summer, which will strengthen his health for the coming year.

It is also useful to let the child walk barefoot on pebbles, sand and grass. In doing so, you need to make sure that the land is not toocold (the effect of hardening in this case is achieved not at the expense of low temperature, but thanks to a natural foot massage). Make sure that there are no cigarette butts, debris and other debris on the ground, which the child will be able to injure.

Proper tempering of a child in the summer is not just a set of individual activities, it is also correct mode of the day and lifestyle. The morning should start with charging, which should be done with an open window or at least a window. After charging, let the child wash with cool water.

It is possible to daily washing add rubbing of the whole body or legs. At first, the water for wiping must haveroom temperature, then gradually the temperature can be lowered. After wiping the child, you must wipe it dry. You need to dress a child in the weather, in no case do not wrap it.

Summer tempering is one of the pledges of good child health, so do not neglect this affordable way of natural strengthening of children's immunity.
