In kindergarten, children begin to get sick often. What pediatricians say about the frequency of ARVI in a child. Normally, a child can get ARVI up to 9 times a year. When a child enters kindergarten, he begins to come into contact with various types of viruses more often, his immune system is formed, and this is good. The child cannot stay at home all the time with the usual microflora. Sooner or later, he will still encounter viruses at school and in society as a whole. What psychologists say about the frequency of ARVI in a child. Dear parents, answer the question: “What happens when your child is sick?” - You immediately drop everything you’re doing and with a concerned face, full of sympathy and sadness, finally turn your gaze towards the child? - Do you allow him to watch cartoons as much as he wants? - Do you ask him what else he wants, show interest in him? - Do you allow him not to eat what he doesn’t like, and allow him to eat more sweets? Congratulations! Your child already knows how great it is to be sick! He immediately receives a lot of love, attention, care, and among other things, some of the prohibitions and restrictions are removed from him. Now imagine what happens if he gets sick when he needs to go to kindergarten? That's right, he gets all this, plus the fact that he doesn't have to go to kindergarten. Next time his body will react with illness and stay at home; children learn this very quickly. In families where the child receives enough attention and love so that illness is not used for this, children practically do not get sick. We are talking not only about viral infections, but also about psychosomatic diseases. By the way, the so-called colds are also to some extent psychosomatic. Surely you have noticed that in a great mood no “infection” sticks, but in a depressed mood you can “pick up” anything.
