Caring for children's health at Carnival

Caring for children's health at Carnival

The Carnival is coming.

Carnival is also an excellent time to stimulate our children, who can participate in the party, socialize and relax. But attention! Do not neglect the small ones in places of great agglomerations, observe if there is excessive noise and do not forget the feeding and hydration of the small ones. These are some important tips for you and your children to enjoy the party more peacefully.

For children under one year of age, I advise you not to attend parties, balls and street blocks, as the immune system of them are still not fully developed, which can facilitate the contamination by viruses and bacteria potentially present in large agglomerations, as well as causing great excitement, leading to sleep disturbances.

Children like to run, jump and explore the environment that surrounds them and, considering that they can get lost in the middle of the agglomeration, ideally they wear an identification bracelet, stating their full name or the person in charge of the place, in addition to the adult cell phone.

The Carnival takes place in the Brazilian summer, with hot and humid days, which increase sweating. Any physical activity should be moderate in this situation, avoiding dehydration and drops of blood pressure, among other problems. It is necessary that the child, when falling in folia, is directed to ingest enough liquid, preferably water, and often. When in an open place (beaches, streets, sambodromes, etc.), sunblock should be worn and, even with its use, to avoid prolonged stay in the sun, especially in the period between 10am and 4pm. Hat and caps also help protect them from the sun.

Prefer light clothing or light-colored costumes that are loose in the body and allow air to circulate, such as fabric t-shirts that drain sweat from the outside of the clothing , allowing a better elimination of sweat, comfort and efficiency in body cooling.

Attention should also be given to the noise level to which the child will be exposed, since when exaggerated they can contribute to hearing problems. And for the grown-ups, be very careful not to drink alcohol, do not accept anything offered by strangers, and look for you or a police authority on suspicion of harassment.

Following these very simple tips, parents and guardians will folia of the little ones and their own tranquility too.

Encourage your child to feel like going back to school

Encourage your child to feel like going back to school

Back to school for many children has a bitter taste. They suffer to resume the routine and parents end up twice as tired, because of the wear and tear of the first few days. To avoid this suffocation, the ideal is to make a moderate transition from the rhythm. "There are parents who come back on a Sunday night trip and they think it's bad because the son gives work to get up early the next day," says psychiatrist Quézia Bombonatto.
