How to strengthen the nervous system of the child

The nervous system of the child is still an imperfect tool. Therefore, babies are so easily excitable. To cry, to get scared, to laugh - it takes a split second. The mood tends to change often, it is difficult to concentrate, fast fatigue - this is all characteristic of children. As you grow older, the psyche comes back to normal, but you do not have to forcefully try to make a little man of iron nerves out of the child. You need a little help.

How to strengthen the nervous system of a child? Through the game, understanding, reassurance. The reason for the breakdown can serve as even the smallest event from the point of view of an adult.

Take the situation: two families lived in the same apartment building. Boys aged 4 years often played together on the balcony while moms talked in the kitchen. Once in the house opposite there was a fire. Noise, people screaming, smoke, howling fire engines. Children look at what is happening with fear.

One mother grabbed her baby and shouted: "There is nothing to look at this horror!" ran away to her. Another mother began to tell the child what good uncles are firefighters, how they put out the fire. The kid stopped being afraid and looked with interest, asked questions. Mom herself was scared and sorry for the residents on the contrary, but then the peanut was not afraid of howling sirens, but was calm. He knew that good uncles would save everyone.

Guess which child after needed the help of a psychologist?

The second situation. These same children watch a science fiction movie. At the end, the spaceship explodes unexpectedly for everyone. Children begin to cry bitterly, they feel sorry for the heroes, they were afraid of the loud sound of the explosion.

One mother takes her baby to the bathroom to wash her face with the words: “Now you’ll only watch cartoons!”

The second shows one of the flying fragments on the screen and explains to the boy that this is a rescue vehicle, the heroes are alive and managed to fly away. While the child is trying to see through tears, the film ends. He is sure that everyone was saved.

Probably all the same, in these situations, the help of a psychologist is needed not for the baby, but for that very inadequate mother. How much is it necessary for the peanut to calm and switch his attention to a positive attitude? Quite a bit of imagination and the outward calm of adults.

This is not a practice of strengthening the child’s nervous system. This is a practical guide to action for adults. However, no guide will help if the child is often tired. Here at least with a tambourine dances, and whims are provided. Why can this happen? Let's see how you can help the nervous system of a little sick.

Daily regime

Like it or not, the daily routine must be respected. Of course, not on a strict minute schedule, as in a closed boarding house. But the approximate time of lifting, eating, day and night sleep should be the same every day. Remember how difficult it is to put a peanut to sleep if it plays longer in the evening than it should be. Or the arrival of guests - and now you have not a miracle, but a restless beast.

Just do not need threats and prohibitions! Distract the child with conversations, gradually bringing the conversation in the right direction. Or playfully. Girls put dolls to sleep, boys put cars in the garage. This means that they themselves need to stack bainki.

If you follow the regime from a very young age, then the baby’s body itself will prompt the necessary actions. The nervous system is also up to date, so instead of playing it will require the child to sleep.

By the way, about sleeping. Children under 6 years old need a nap. The body is small, the wakefulness and sleep cycle is short. If the baby did not rest at lunch, then in the evening you will receive a disheveled tortured revushka. He still doesn’t understand that he’s just tired, and that’s just naughty.

Same thing with food.Instead of sandwiches and pieces from the refrigerator, teach your child to eat at the same time. At first she makes a fuss, and then she gets used to it. Then it will be possible to avoid at bedtime all kinds of thirsty, eat, write, etc. on the list. Naturally, the nervous system will more calmly respond to prohibitions.

Food

How to strengthen a child’s nervous system with nutrition? To begin with, do not try to cram the entire list of healthy products into your baby. Vitamins, minerals, nutrients - all this is good, right. But not at the cost of children's tears and triggering of the gag reflex. Even the most tasteless, but wildly healthy foods can be served as a game. Someone will say: "There is nothing to indulge at the table!". And in vain. When else to indulge, if not in childhood?

Of course, everything should be in moderation. Throwing food all over the kitchen is one thing. And to lay out a picture on a plate or play “a plane flies into a hangar” is another.

Let me give you an example: the mother of one boy was sure that green peas and broccoli were simply necessary in his diet. But the boy for some reason was categorically against such interference in the contents of his plate. Mom stamped her feet, shoved food for the child by force, proved usefulness. Drooling, snot, spitting, screaming ... Until dad came home from work.

Calmly expelled his wife from the kitchen, and he offered his son a cake. But not sweet, but the real "Muschshchinsky"! That is, pieces of broccoli and, like the apotheosis of the sculpture, peas were solemnly placed on a spoon of mashed potato. It turned out such a brutal dish.

As a result, all healthy tastes were eaten with appetite, and my mother was reprimanded that she was not able to cook “Muschish” food.

So what prevents to give the baby a little extra time and play a small performance? Read the "Lisichkin bread." It says great about a similar case.

Products that help strengthen the child’s nervous system:

• Dairy products, especially butter. They help the work of nerve cells.
• The eggs. Brain cells develop.
• Berries, fruits. Source of vitamins.
• A fish. Source of unsaturated acids.
• Beef. Contains minerals, iron and zinc.
• Beans Rich in protein and carbohydrates.
• Oat groats. Fiber and vitamins.

This is the main list. You can change it and supplement it with your own items. This is not the last resort, the baby’s diet should also contain other foods. It's just that the data is the most useful. It is advisable to use them regularly.

Do not force the child. He does not understand your useful. He needs beautiful, interesting and fun. With good imagination, everything is doable. Can't boast of that? So ask the little one to make a picture on his plate. He will gladly lay it out and then eat it. No screams and insults.

Physical Education

Not in the exact sense of playing sports. Namely, frequent walks, outdoor games, small competitions. Walk yourself, the child has double benefit. Firstly, physical activity, games with peers or parents are very useful for strengthening the nervous system. Secondly, for health it is advisable to walk in any weather. Of course, excluding summer heat with a temperature of 40 ° C or a winter snowstorm with frost at 30 ° C.

From one extreme to another you should not throw yourself. If today the weather does not allow, then replace the walk with a massage. Use aromatic oils with a pleasant mild odor, prepare a special towel, then chat with your child. Let him tell you his feelings, describe the mood, what he liked best and how to do it. All this positively affects the nervous system of the child.

Back to the very boys. Here they are already 6 years old. Both are active, nimble, restless. One mother likes to watch TV, and her son drags her out onto the street. As a result, my mother gave up and went ... to the pharmacy. I bought a sedative on the advice of my girlfriends and is happy to feed the baby.Now he does not bother her to watch TV shows, he sits next to him and does not want anything.

The second mother also loves TV. But here's a hitch: according to the regime of the day, the time of the walk coincides with the time of the adoring talk show. Only this mother of her son loves more than TV. Therefore, although sighing, she dresses and walks with the child into the street, honestly walking for two hours.

What about talk shows? Yes, then the first mother will tell you what was there and how. But he won’t tell, and let him. But her little one sleeps himself, from normal fatigue, and not from sedative pills.

Some secrets

1. Give your child more positive emotions. They increase mental activity, strengthen the nervous system. Joint trips to a children's play, to the zoo or a day trip will cheer you up and contribute to healthy fatigue.
2. Do not be hysterical when you see that your baby was treated to chips or sweet soda. The more you forbid, the more he will want it. Just explain to him that this is an adult meal. Now he can be a little bit. Do not be like abnormal vegan parents, for whom almost any healthy animal products are taboo. For the normal functioning of the nervous system, the child needs good nutrition. He grows up, then he decides whether he needs it or not.
3. Remember the scene from the movie about Willy Wonka. With what strain the boy absorbs sweets! After all, it has long been noticed that if the baby is not forbidden, but simply limited somewhat, then the forbidden fruit, it turns out, is not so sweet. Instead of disturbing the psyche and fear of being caught, the pean calmly reacts and lives without whims and tantrums.

How to strengthen the nervous system of a child? First of all, love him every minute. As it is now, it will never be. Grows up, do not have time to blink an eye. Just have time to buy more shoes. And so that he grows adequate with a healthy nervous system, observe the daily routine, eat the right food, walk and be your baby first of all friends, and only then strict parents.
