“The role of family in creating a healthy lifestyle”

“Take care of your health from a young age!” - this proverb has a deep meaning. The formation of a healthy lifestyle should begin with the birth of a child so that a person already develops a conscious attitude towards his health.

The conditions on which the direction of the formation of a child’s personality, as well as his health, depend, are laid down in the family. What is instilled in a child from childhood and adolescence in the family in the field of moral, ethical and other principles determines all his future behavior in life, attitude towards himself, his health and the health of others.

Even at early school age, a child is not yet able to consciously and adequately follow basic hygiene and sanitation standards, fulfill the requirements of a healthy lifestyle, and take care of his own health and the health of others. All this brings to the fore the task for parents to develop, as early as possible, in a small child the skills and abilities that contribute to maintaining their health.

Of course, the health of children directly depends on living conditions in the family, health literacy, hygiene culture of parents and their level of education.

As a rule, adults become interested in the problem of developing healthy lifestyle habits only when the child already needs psychological or medical help. The readiness for a healthy lifestyle does not arise by itself, but is formed in a person from an early age, primarily within the family in which the child was born and raised.

A healthy lifestyle serves to strengthen the entire family. The child must learn the best Russian family traditions, understand the meaning and importance of family in a person’s life, the role of the child in the family, and master the norms and ethics of relationships with parents and other family members. Spiritual health is the peak that everyone must climb to for themselves.

The main task for parents is to form in the child a moral attitude towards their health, which is expressed in the desire and need to be healthy and to lead a healthy lifestyle. He must realize that health is the most important value for a person, the main condition for achieving any life goal, and everyone is responsible for maintaining and strengthening their health. In this, nothing can replace the authority of an adult. Therefore, parents themselves must embrace the philosophy of a healthy lifestyle and embark on the path of health.

There is a rule: “If you want to raise your child healthy, follow the path of health yourself, otherwise there will be nowhere to lead him!”

Even in early preschool age, a child is not yet able to consciously and adequately follow basic hygiene and sanitation standards, fulfill the requirements of a healthy lifestyle, and take care of his own health and the health of others. All this brings to the fore the task for parents to develop, as early as possible, in a small child the skills and abilities that contribute to maintaining their health.

The home regime of a preschooler is one of the important components of family education, which allows you to maintain a high level of performance, delay fatigue and eliminate overwork. The family organizes a rational home regime - sleep, optimal motor mode, balanced nutrition, hardening, personal hygiene, moral and ethical education, rejection of health destroyers, etc. The routine in kindergarten should correspond to the routine at home.

Another very important problem related to children’s health is watching TV and using a computer. A computer and TV are undoubtedly useful for the development of a child’s horizons, memory, attention, thinking, and coordination, but subject to a reasonable approach to the choice of games and programs, as well as the child’s continuous time spent in front of the screen, which should not exceed 30 minutes.

When creating a healthy lifestyle for a child, the family must instill in the child the following basic knowledge, skills and abilities:

— knowledge of the rules of personal hygiene, hygiene of residential and educational premises, clothing, shoes, etc.;

- the ability to correctly build a daily routine and implement it;

— ability to analyze dangerous situations, predict consequences and find a way out of them;

- the ability to interact with the environment, to understand under what conditions the habitat (house, street, road, forest) is safe for life;

— knowledge of the main parts of the body and internal organs, their location and role in the life of the human body;

- the ability to measure height, body weight, determine the frequency of your pulse and breathing, understanding the importance of determining these indicators for monitoring health status and its correction;

— understanding the importance of a healthy lifestyle for personal health, well-being, and academic success;

- the ability to correctly build a daily routine and implement it;

— knowledge of the basic rules of rational nutrition, taking into account age;

— understanding the importance of physical activity for the development of a healthy body;

— knowledge of the rules for the prevention of diseases of the spine, foot, organs of vision, hearing and others;

— knowledge of the main natural factors that improve health and the rules for their use;

- knowledge of the rules of maintaining health from colds and some other infectious diseases;

— ability to analyze dangerous situations, predict consequences and find a way out of them;

— the ability to provide basic assistance for minor cuts, bruises, burns, frostbite;

- knowledge of medical institutions where it is possible to get help in case of illness.

Parents need to know the criteria for the effectiveness of healthy lifestyle education:

— positive dynamics of your child’s physical condition;

— reduction of morbidity;

- developing the child’s skills to build relationships with peers, parents and other people;

- reducing the level of anxiety and aggressiveness.

It is quite obvious that solving the problem of improving the health of preschool children is possible only if a unified program of hygienic training and education is implemented in the family and kindergarten.

Consultation for parents

“We will play together and improve our health”

Without movement, a child cannot grow up healthy. You can hardly find parents who do not want their children to grow up healthy. However, many do not know how to achieve this.

It is known that play is the main activity of children. It is vital for maintaining and strengthening their health and physical development. Even in ancient times, games were not only entertaining, but also therapeutic. One of the greatest physicians of antiquity, the Roman physician Claudius Galen, prescribed ball games to his patients instead of medicine.

Movement is also an effective healing tool. Outdoor games based on movements that require a lot of energy (running, jumping, climbing, etc.) increase metabolism in the body. They have a strengthening effect on the child’s nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems and help create a cheerful mood. Active movements increase resistance to diseases, which is very important in the event of colds and infectious diseases, causing the mobilization of the body's defenses, helping to improve tissue nutrition, the formation of the skeleton and correct posture.

All children love to move, run races, jump, play ball, and ride a bike. This activity helps them get the necessary physical activity and develop physical qualities. For example, in order to dodge a “trap”, you need to show dexterity, and when escaping from it, run as quickly as possible. Captivated by the plot of the game, children can perform the same movements with interest many times without noticing fatigue, and this leads to the development of endurance.

During outdoor games, children act in accordance with the rules, which are mandatory for all participants. The rules regulate the behavior of the players and contribute to the development of mutual assistance and discipline. At the same time, the need to follow the rules, as well as overcome obstacles inevitable in the game, contributes to the development of strong-willed qualities - endurance, courage, determination, and the ability to cope with negative emotions.

Parents not only maintain the health of their child, but also try to strengthen it. Often, many people don’t even know how to prepare a place for outdoor games and physical exercises?

Any movement activates the child's breathing and increases oxygen consumption. In this regard, preference should be given to outdoor games and exercises. If our weather conditions do not allow you to play with your child outside, then you should ventilate the room well.

An active interest in physical exercises is aroused in children by a variety of toys and objects that are available in the house (balls, hoops, circles, skittles, jump ropes, cubes, as well as sleds, skis, inflatable rubber toys, swings, ladders, etc.). The child needs to be given the opportunity to roll something, throw something, climb stairs, swing, jump over, etc.

“How to interest a child in active play and physical exercise?” - many young parents ask. The answer is quite simple: a healthy child does not need to be forced to do physical education - he himself needs movement and willingly performs new tasks and plays outdoor games.

Under no circumstances should you force a child to perform a particular movement or turn games into a boring lesson. During classes, the most valued exercises are those that the child performs with joy, without pressure from adults, without suspecting that he is obeying their wishes. Gradually involve the child in all new types of games and fun, systematically repeating them so that the child consolidates the learned movements. It’s great if you encourage your child with praise, you will be surprised at how strong, dexterous, strong he is, how much he can do. Demonstrating his skills in front of other family members or his peers will also help to awaken a child’s interest in physical exercise. Thus, the child gradually develops self-confidence and the desire to learn further, mastering new, more complex movements and games.

If a child has no desire to exercise, analyze the reasons for such a negative attitude towards physical exercise in order to create more favorable conditions in the future. For example, some overweight children do not like to exercise because it is difficult for them to move and they are prone to laziness. Such children should be involved in activities in every possible way so that they do not lag behind in motor development. In addition to praise, they can also be motivated by a convincing explanation of why physical exercise is so necessary. First of all, in order not to get sick, so that he does not look like a bear cub, so that other children do not overtake him, so that he quickly learns to swim - by the way, overweight children have excellent abilities for mastering swimming.

When and how much to study?

The duration varies: it depends on the age of the child (a 2-year-old child needs 10 minutes, and a 7-year-old child can play for 45 minutes).

You should definitely take advantage of every opportunity to move around with your child in the fresh air - most often this is provided on weekends.

During morning exercises, it is better to use easy and already familiar exercises, since there is usually not enough time and patience to learn new, more complex exercises. The duration of morning exercises is no more than 10 minutes.

Before lunch, be sure to give your child the opportunity to take a walk, ride a children's scooter or bicycle, or play in the fresh air. After lunch, rest is needed. After sleep, short invigorating exercises are useful.

In the afternoon, more time should be devoted to mastering various movements with objects (toys, bicycles, scooters, skis) and for exercises on various equipment (gymnastic walls, swings, slides) - preferably in the company of peers or brothers and sisters.

Exercises before dinner are the most common form of joint activities, since parents are usually at home and at least one of them can take care of the child. After dinner, it is not recommended to engage in outdoor games and exercises with children: intense physical activity after eating is harmful (this applies to any time of the day), and in addition, after physical exercise, children have difficulty falling asleep.

During joint outdoor games and physical exercises, an adult lifts, carries, rocks a child, helps him pull himself up, jump, climb up, etc. Thanks to this, the parents themselves develop physically, becoming stronger, more dexterous and more resilient. This use of free time is beneficial for both parties. The child admires his father: how strong, how dexterous dad is, how well he does the exercises! Imitates his mother in grace and coordination of movements.

The emotional power of the game must be used to further preserve and strengthen health, namely for the development of a beautiful gait, fast running, bold jumps and leaps, dexterous climbing and throwing. When choosing a game, you need to thoroughly think about what you want to teach your child, what type of motor activity you want to choose for him. Almost every exercise can be quickly turned into a game by giving it some cute name (according to the child's interests: walking gracefully like a princess or jumping high like a super hero) and defining how to play the game, where to start and, of course by setting simple rules. Some games require a group of at least 3 children. If the child does not have brothers and sisters, the children's team, as a rule, is replaced by parents. Explanations must be clear and precise, they must be given in a cheerful voice and immediately show all the movements. A cheerful tone, a joke, laughter, and the active participation of an adult always captivate a child.

And remember, physical exercises and games will only benefit the child when they are done systematically and with pleasure. And the best part is that when playing with you, the children laugh so loudly that the gloomiest dad or the stern, tired mother smiles.

Conversation with parents “Teach children to be healthy”

A specialist doctor can judge whether a child has a disease or not. The level of mental development is determined by a child psychologist.

According to S.V. Popova, if we take the level of health as 100%, then 20% depend on hereditary factors, 20% on environmental factors, 10% on the activities of the health care system. And 50% depends on the person himself, on the lifestyle he leads.

The formation of motivation for a healthy lifestyle depends, first of all, on parents. It is parents, in close cooperation with the school, who must help develop in their children the habit and then the need for a healthy lifestyle, the formation of skills in making independent decisions regarding maintaining and strengthening their health.

Let us dwell in more detail on the issue of developing habits and skills in children that are safe for life and health.

A habit is behavior, a course of action that has become common and permanent. A habit is most often formed on the basis of a skill (a skill is a learned method of action that has been brought to the point of automaticity).

For example, if a child has learned to swim well, then he will be happy to spend his leisure time in the pool, etc.

Habits are cultivated not so much by words as by deeds. “Teach by showing, not by telling,” they said in ancient times. Every instruction from adults on the need to perform this or that action must be accompanied by an explanation of why it must be performed. To consolidate the habit, the praise of an adult and the first positive results are of great importance. This is especially important when forming the habit of taking care of their health in children. Incorrect “reinforcement” of habits leads to the formation of bad habits in children (biting nails, not washing hands before eating, smoking, etc.). It is quite difficult to eradicate bad habits. Patience and endurance are required from parents.

Preschooler's daily routine.

Particular attention should be paid to the problem of developing the habit of observing a daily routine in children as the most important factor in the health of a preschooler.

A rationally organized regime for a preschooler is:

Recreation in the fresh air is mandatory.

Daytime naps and sufficient sleep duration with strictly established times of getting up and going to bed.

Regular and nutritious meals.

The time a child wakes up is a very important moment in the daily routine. How the parents wake up the child and in what mood he wakes up determines his psychological mood for the whole day. It is advisable for parents to remember all the kindest words they said to their children.

In many families, waking up occurs with an alarm clock. And according to scientists, the sound of an alarm clock is a significant stress for the body. But what should we do? It is necessary to develop the habit of waking up at the same time every day. Then the child’s body will wake up at the same time.

But in order to get up on time, the child needs to go to bed on time. Before breakfast, the child needs to have time to make his bed, and he must do this himself, do gymnastics, and perform hygiene procedures.

You need to leave enough time for the road to kindergarten so that it becomes a relaxing walk.

Morning hygienic exercises (exercises).

Parents often ask the question: “Should children be forced to do morning exercises?” no need to force. Everything associated with “forcing” causes increased resistance in children, and sometimes a negative attitude for life. As they used to say in the old days6, “Children learn from what they see in their own homes.” After all, the way of life in a family is, as a rule, inherited by children, who, growing up, very often build their family in the likeness of their parents. Therefore, parents are recommended to exercise together with their children for the sake of their health.

Exercise is important because it prepares the body for active daily activities. Scientists and physiologists have found that children who do exercises every day are more efficient, cheerful, and disciplined than those children who do not exercise in the morning.

Food and rest for children.

“Eat right and don’t need medicine,” this folk wisdom perfectly reflects how important it is for a growing body to eat at the same time, properly organized and balanced nutrition. Therefore, how a child eats, whether he follows a diet, largely determines his health.

For the normal development of a child’s body and maintaining its performance at a high level, a complete diet, balanced in the content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts and vitamins, is required. All these substances are found in dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and berries. These products should always be present on the children's menu. The interval between meals should not exceed 3-4 hours, since long breaks between meals affect the child’s health, causing fatigue, decreased performance, and headaches.

Morning breakfast is very important for children's health. In the morning, all human organs begin to actively function and begin to function, including the pancreas, which secretes gastric juice to digest food. If this juice enters an empty stomach, it irritates the walls of the stomach, causing or provoking various gastric diseases. Therefore, children must have breakfast in the morning.

After lunch, the preschooler must rest. Children are recommended to take an afternoon nap; after sleep, a walk and play in the fresh air. If the child sleeps during the day, then he goes for a walk after sleep.

It is very important that there is time in your daily routine for activities that interest you.

Particular attention should be paid to such a component of the daily routine as sleep.

Parents should strive to create conditions for adequate sleep, which for a 5-8 year old child should be at least 10.5-11 hours. Of course, the duration of sleep depends on the individual state of health and physical development of the child.

Before going to bed, you must follow the basic rules of behavior:

Do not play noisy games of chance.

Don't play sports.

Don't watch scary movies.

Parents should not scold or punish their child.

Aim for your child to go to bed at the same time every day.

Before going to bed, the child's room should be well ventilated.

“A healthy lifestyle for your children, or 10 commandments of health”

Goal: formation of health of preschool children.

Every parent wants to see their children healthy and happy, but not everyone thinks about how to ensure that their children live in harmony with themselves, with the world around them, with people. Meanwhile, the secret of this harmony is simple - a healthy lifestyle.

As a rule, the result of a healthy lifestyle is physical and mental health. They are closely related. It is no coincidence that people say: “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” Psychologists and teachers have long established that preschool age is the most favorable for the formation of healthy habits. During this period, the child spends a significant part of his time in the family, among his relatives, whose lifestyle and behavioral stereotypes become the strongest factors in the formation of their ideas about life.

A healthy lifestyle is a joy for both big and small in the house, but to create it, several conditions must be met.

Many people practice it themselves, using simple rules known to everyone to maintain health. Known from deep childhood: “the sun, air and water are our best friends”... But not everyone remembers and many underestimate the magical properties.

Since they also look simple and very ordinary, this is consistency and systematicity.

10 commandments for a healthy life:

1. Food:

For full growth and development, children need rational, nutritious nutrition. When organizing your child’s nutrition, try to adhere to simple but very important rules:

- eating according to a schedule - develop the habit of eating in your child at strictly defined hours;

— for cooking, use only natural products that do not contain preservatives or synthetic additives;

- include foods rich in vitamins and minerals in your child’s diet, especially in the spring;

— it is important that the diet is well balanced: the food must contain a sufficient amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates;

— there should be fruits and vegetables on the table every day;

— a child’s appetite often depends on the appearance of food. The baby will eat with great pleasure if you creatively decorate the dish, creating some recognizable figures from the products.

It is important to remember that sometimes children want this or that food in their diet because their body needs it.

Listen to your child's needs!

2. Regulate the load!

- physical;

- emotional;

- intellectual.

We live by the motto: “Time for work, time for fun.” We carefully monitor the child's behavior. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the child’s condition. Loss of attention, whims, hysterics, refusal of activity, disinhibition are a signal of overload.

At the first sign of these manifestations, you should stop or reduce the intensity of activity or communication. Give your child a chance to rest as soon as possible. The best rest is physical activity in the fresh air.

Attention! Even exceeding emotionally positive loads: exciting games, joyful communication can lead to overload and, as a result, to unfavorable results. If we, adults, do not take action in time and do not stop or reduce the load on the child, this condition may be followed by exhaustion, malaise, hysteria, and then illness.

3. Fresh air!

It is simply necessary for children's developing brains!

Lack of oxygen leads to a significant decrease in activity. In an unventilated, stuffy room, a child cannot be in an active, alert state, much less perform any tasks that require concentration.

Lack of oxygen leads to rapid fatigue and exhaustion.

For good health and successful activities, the child needs to stay in the open fresh air and in a ventilated room:

- always during sleep;

- physical activity in the fresh air is required - at least 2 hours a day.

Remember, children's brains need

in a large amount of oxygen.

4. Physical activity!

Movement is a child’s natural state.

The task of adults is to create conditions for the child’s motor activity. The best environment for this is a playground or park, since they combine two important conditions for physical activity - space and fresh air.

Let your child walk as much as possible, play outdoor games,

runs, jumps, climbs, swims…. This is very important for a complete

activity of the brain, and, consequently, of the child’s entire body!

5. Physical education!

Systematic physical exercise is very beneficial for health. They strengthen not only the physical health, but also the child’s psyche, and have a positive effect on his character. They contribute to the development of strong-willed qualities, self-confidence, responsibility, and the ability to make friends.

The arsenal of types of physical culture is very wide: it

— Morning exercises – preferably with stretching and jumping:

The main thing is that the child likes the chosen type of physical education,

so that he does it with pleasure.

6. Water treatments!

The importance of water procedures for human health has long been known and confirmed by centuries of experience.

They are very beneficial for health, well-being, and good mood.

You can choose any type of water procedures suitable for your child or alternate between different types:

- dousing in the morning after sleep and in the evening before bed with 1-2 small buckets of warm, cool or cold water;

- contrast shower, contrast baths for hands and feet (3-7 contrasts, starting with warm or hot and ending with cold, the duration of warm or hot is 2 times longer than cold);

- rubbing with a wet towel.

7. Warm, friendly psychological climate in the family

The environment in which a child is raised and the psychological climate in the family have a huge impact on the child’s physical and mental health. In a comfortable situation, the child’s development proceeds faster and more harmoniously. He “absorbs” everything positive that surrounds him. And this makes him a strong, happy and confident person.

And vice versa, if a child grows up in an unfavorable environment where there is aggression, irritation, anger, anxiety, fear, he is “infected” with these negative emotions and feelings, which leads to various kinds of disorders of his health and, consequently, to developmental delays.

Establish a ban in the family on: violent negative (and even positive) emotions, especially in the evening, before bed; scream, anger.

By communicating positively with your child, you charge him with energy.

Our negativity (screaming, irritation) destroys the child’s fragile psyche and disorients him. And therefore, it weakens his capabilities and ultimately his health.

8. Simple massage and self-massage techniques:

Hands, feet, ears, face, biologically active points of the body.

9. Creativity:

Children are creators. Adults only need to create conditions for their creative activity.

In creativity, a child can express himself: his thoughts, feelings, emotions. He can create his own world according to his own laws, feel joy and satisfaction. In creativity, a child can express negative feelings and experiences and free himself from them. Through creativity, a child comprehends beauty and the harmony of the world.

Help your child see the beauty in the world, help him “fall in love with

beauty" and support his desire to create.

Various types of activities are suitable for this: drawing; modeling (from plasticine, clay, dough); listening to classical and children's music and sounds of nature; music and singing lessons; dancing and artistic activities. All this and much more provides the opportunity for emotional expression,

teaches the child to love work and be proud of himself.

10. Maintain a daily routine!

It is very important to teach your child to wake up and fall asleep, eat, play, walk, and work at the same time.

Pay special attention to proper sleep (falling asleep on time - no later than 21.00-22.00, minimum sleep duration - 8-10 hours);

Regulate TV viewing both in terms of time (no more than 40 minutes - 1 hour, and in content - in the evening, avoid stimulating topics).

This instills a feeling of security, confidence and stability.

This teaches the child to distribute and maintain physical and mental strength throughout the day. This makes him calmer and more positive.

Thus, a healthy lifestyle for all family members in the present is the key to a child’s happy and prosperous life in harmony with the world in the future.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not that difficult. But if we teach children from a very early age to value, protect and strengthen their health, if we demonstrate a healthy lifestyle by personal example, then only in this case can we hope that the future generation will be healthier and more developed not only intellectually, spiritually, but and physically.

Be always healthy!

Topic: “Healthy lifestyle in the family”

Prepared by: Koroleva T.V.,

Educator

GBOU secondary school No. 10

SPDS "Alyonushka"

Caring for the development and health of a child begins in the family, with the decision to lead a healthy lifestyle.

A healthy lifestyle should become the primary need of the person of the future.

Currently, in our modern society, the intellectual development of the child is becoming a priority. Most children experience a “motor deficit,” that is, the number of movements they make during the day is below normal. The strength and performance of the muscles decreases, which entails disruption of body functions.

A healthy lifestyle is:

• favorable emotional climate in the family, friendly relationships between parents and children;

• responsible attitude of parents towards the health of the child, culture of health;

• favorable conditions for the physical and mental development of the child;

• properly organized rational food;

• maintaining a daily routine for the child at home;

• negative attitude of adults towards alcohol and smoking;

• sufficient labor activity, involving children in feasible work;

• compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards;

• moderate demands on the child, general games, leisure activities (relaxing together, walks in the forest, park, skating rink, skiing, general reading, drawing, etc.).

It is very important to be a friendly and polite person and teach your children to be so.

A healthy lifestyle in the family includes:

• instilling in children a desire to engage in physical education, sports, to harden themselves, to take care of their health, to take good care of their bodies (the personal example of parents is very important);

• formation of basic motor habits associated with walking, running, climbing, jumping (create a sports

corner);

• development of motor qualities: speed, agility, flexibility, strength, etc. (play outdoor games with your children at home and outdoors);

• desire to maintain a beautiful, even posture;

• ensuring the prevention of visual and hearing impairment (moderate use of the computer, watching TV);

• timely prevention of the occurrence of inadequate

child behavior, neurosis.

Sports corner at home

A sports corner at home helps to properly organize children’s leisure time, assists in consolidating previously acquired motor habits, developing dexterity and independence.

It is better to arrange a corner closer to the window.

The sports and play complex should consist of a wooden stepladder, vertical posts on which a rope is attached, a stepladder made of ropes, a rubber vine, a swing, rings, and a horizontal bar.

Eight tips for parents about children's health

What to do to ensure that children grow up healthy? What symptoms should you look out for to avoid health hazards? Experts have put together some tips for you.

In order for your child to grow up to be a healthy person, it is important for you to take care of your health.

Teachers and psychologists tell parents: “Try to actively participate in your child’s health.” Participating means not only saying what to do to avoid getting sick, but showing by personal example. If at home most family members do not have the habit of doing exercises, maintaining hygiene, tempering themselves, and eating right, the child will never learn this on his own.

Teach your child to maintain hygiene

The slightly boring phrase “Cleanliness is the key to health” remains relevant at all times. It is very important to constantly instill in your child the skills of daily hygiene, explain the need to change underwear, outerwear, and clean your room.

Remind the importance of alternating activities

Doctors testify: the child needs at least some kind of regulated daily routine. Health is harmed by a lack of routine, overwork, too much sleep, and a chaotic, unbalanced diet. The habit of getting up and going to bed at the same time will help your child feel cheerful every day.

Keep a health diary with your child

Any person needs self-control skills in health monitoring. If, from childhood, a child, with the help of his parents, periodically records data on his physical condition (body weight, height, heart rate at rest or after exercise, sleep, appetite, body temperature), this will help him notice if something in the body goes wrong .

Move with your child

Physical education classes, at least minimal conditioning, outdoor games, walks - all this will help the child develop and stay healthy.

Explain which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy

Provide your child with a healthy diet and a positive attitude towards eating.

Teach your child how to avoid infections

Wash your hands before eating and after returning from the street, do not use someone else’s dishes or toothbrush, do not wear shoes or hats of other children, cover your mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing - these are other basic rules for adults, but not obvious for children. your child will not catch the infection and become a carrier.

If there is something alarming about your child’s condition, be sure to take him to the doctor.

Do not hesitate to contact doctors (even if you have the impression that the scale of the problem is small) - they also work to identify possible diseases of the child at an early stage. There is no need to diagnose children “on the Internet” - this can end in unpleasant consequences, especially if at the same time you begin to treat them yourself.

1. It is worth showing your child to a neurologist if you notice some awkwardness in him, unclear speech, if he has fainting, dizziness, headaches, vomiting, or gets motion sickness in transport.
2. You should contact a child psychiatrist if the child is excessively mobile or excitable, as well as if the child is excessively lethargic and tearful. Anxiety, sleep disturbances, obsessive movements are also unpleasant symptoms that this specialist should help.
3. If a child often asks questions or does not always respond to speech addressed to him, he has frequent sore throats, loss of voice, cough, constant runny nose, if the child sleeps with his mouth open, snores in his sleep, nasal when talking - consult an otolaryngologist.
4. Poor appetite, stomach upset, abdominal pain are indications for contacting a gastroenterologist.
5. An allergist will help find out the cause of frequent runny noses, swelling, and rashes in a child. Such symptoms are a reaction of the child’s body to certain foods, pollen, medications, vaccinations.
6. For any visible changes in your child's skin, nails and hair, contact a dermatologist.
7. Your child will need to consult an ophthalmologist if you notice that he squints his eyes when looking at objects in the distance, or, conversely, bends low over a book or sits close to the TV screen.
8. If a child stoops when walking, one shoulder is lower than the other, and the shoulder blades protrude strongly when the back is straight, he needs to be examined by an orthopedist.
9. Take your children for periodic preventive examinations with an endocrinologist (prevention of thyroid diseases, diabetes, obesity, growth disorders), a surgeon (detection of congenital anomalies), a dentist (detection and treatment of caries), a cardiologist (diagnosis of cardiac and vascular dysfunctions), a speech therapist (disorders speech and sound perception). If there are no specialized specialists where you live, be sure to contact your pediatrician for all questions related to your child’s health.

Raising a child strong, strong, and healthy is the desire of every parent . But how to do this, by what means and ways? The long-term practice of our work shows that the health of children depends not only on their physical characteristics, but also on living conditions in the family , sanitary literacy and hygienic culture of parents . Therefore, in our preschool educational institution, the center of work on the full physical development and health of children is the family and kindergarten, which exist as two main structures. Which basically determine the level of health of children .

Golden rules for a healthy lifestyle :

1. Start a new day with a smile and a morning workout;

2. Follow a daily routine;

3.Remember: a smart book is better than aimless watching TV;

4. Love your child - he is yours, respect your family members, they are fellow travelers on your path;

5. You should hug your child at least 4 times, and preferably 8 times;

6. There are no bad children, only bad actions;

7. Personal example for a healthy lifestyle is better than good morals;

8. Use natural hardening factors - sun, air and water;

9.Remember: simple food is healthier than elaborate dishes;

10. The best form of relaxation is a walk with the family in the fresh air, the best entertainment for a child is playing together with parents .

Recommendations for parents on promoting a healthy lifestyle in children

The health of your child is the most important value and our common goal is to preserve and strengthen it.

REMEMBER: the example of parents is decisive in shaping the habits and lifestyle of a child .

A child’s growing body needs special care, so children need to follow a work-rest schedule.

Teach your child to take care of his own health : perform hygiene procedures, ventilate the room, etc.

Control your child’s leisure time: watching TV shows, meeting with friends, walking in the fresh air.

Traditions of healthy eating in the family are the key to preserving the health of the child .

In shaping a child’s responsible attitude towards his health, use the example of people who are authoritative for him: famous actors, musicians, athletes.

Recommendations for parents on organizing active family holidays.

Carrying out a joint family vacation - be it family hiking trips, active recreation at sea, in the mountains, participation in sports family games, for example, “Dad, Mom, I am a sports family”

, cycling in the forest, etc. - have a beneficial effect on
preschoolers and their parents .
Parents and children can:

1. In winter - go skiing with children, ice skating, sledding, hiking in the nearest forest, park, sculpting snow fortresses and figures in the yard.

2. In spring and autumn - take children with you on one-day hiking trips, go on holiday together at the seaside, at the dacha, organize joint yard activities with outdoor games.

3. In the summer - sunbathe, swim, arrange noisy, active games on the street.

4. Arrange joint family readings about a healthy lifestyle . (For example, A. Barto’s poem “The Dirty Girl”

makes kids want to wash their faces and wash their hands with soap, S. Mikhalkov’s work
“About a Girl Who Didn’t Eat Well”
will help overcome poor appetite, S. Mikhalkov’s poem
“About Mimosa”
will talk about the need for hardening, etc.)

In conclusion, I would like to offer parents formulated family rules regarding daily routine, hardening, nutrition and other components of a healthy lifestyle .

Family Health .

1. We start every day with exercise.

2. When we wake up, we don’t lie in bed.

3. We take cold water as a friend, it gives vigor and strengthening.

4. To kindergarten, to school, to work - on foot at a fast pace.

5. The elevator is our enemy.

6. Let's be generous with our smiles, never lose heart!

7. When we meet, we wish each other good health (Hello)

8. The regime is our friend, if we want to do everything in time, we will do it in time!

9. Don’t chew anything while watching TV!

10. On vacation and weekends - only together

Every person associates the idea of ​​happiness with family.

Family is a support, a fortress, the beginning of everything. This is the child’s first team, a natural environment where the foundations of the child’s future personality and health are laid. In preschool childhood, the foundation of a child’s health is laid, intensive growth and development occurs, basic movements, posture, as well as the necessary skills and habits are formed, basic physical qualities are acquired, character traits are developed, without which a healthy lifestyle is impossible.

Prolonged stay in unfavorable conditions causes overstrain of the body's adaptive capabilities and leads to depletion of the immune system. Chronic diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, ENT organs and other diseases occur.

The increase in the number of diseases is associated not only with the socio-ecological situation, but also with the very lifestyle of the child’s family, which largely depends on family traditions and the nature of the motor regime. If the child’s physical activity is insufficient (physical inactivity), a deterioration in the development of motor function and a decrease in the child’s physical performance inevitably occur.

Today it is important for us, adults, to form and maintain an interest in improving the health of both ourselves and our children. Parents are the first teachers. They are obliged to lay the foundations for the physical, moral and intellectual development of the child’s personality in infancy.

Unfortunately, due to the developed cultural level of our society, health is not yet in first place among human needs. Therefore, many parents cannot serve as a positive example of a healthy lifestyle for their child, since they often abuse smoking and alcohol, prefer hours of watching TV shows and videos, hardening, physical education, and walks in the fresh air. Often, parents have little idea of ​​how necessary it is to introduce their child to a healthy lifestyle.

What can parents do to introduce their children to a healthy lifestyle? (parents' statements).

It is necessary to actively use healing natural environmental factors : clean water, ultraviolet rays of sunlight, clean air, phytoncidal properties of plants, since the natural forces of nature are familiar components of the environment and are necessary for the life of the body.

A child needs a calm, friendly psychological climate in the family.

Quarrels in the presence of a child in some cases contribute to the development of neurosis in him, and in others aggravate existing disorders of the nervous system. All this significantly reduces the protective capabilities of the child’s body.

With this in mind, we should always try to be in a good mood. Remember, as soon as we smile, it immediately becomes easier; if we frown, sadness creeps in. They frowned - adrenaline began to be released, which contributes to a sad, anxious mood, smiled - they helped another hormone - endorphin, which ensures a confident and cheerful mood. After all, the same fact in one case can be invisible to us, but in another it can cause anger and spoil the mood. But our irritation mechanically transfers to the child.

Emotional stability and related behavior are nurtured. What is important here is the ability to correctly and rationally relate to what is seen, perceived, and heard.

So let's smile more and give joy to each other.

We must not only protect the child’s body from harmful influences, but also create conditions that help increase the child’s body’s defenses and performance. And the important thing here is the daily routine.

A properly organized daily routine is a daily routine that optimally combines the periods of wakefulness and sleep of children during the day, satisfying their needs for food, activity, rest, physical activity, etc. In addition, the routine disciplines children, promotes the formation of many useful skills, and teaches them to a certain rhythm.

Walking is one of the essential components of the regime. This is the most effective type of rest; it well restores the functional resources of the body, reduced during activity, and, first of all, performance. Staying in the air helps increase the body's resistance and hardens it. After an active walk, the child’s appetite and sleep always normalize. The walk should be carried out in any weather, with the exception of particularly unfavorable conditions. At the same time, clothing and shoes must comply with the weather and all hygiene requirements. During a walk, children should not be allowed to remain in the same position for a long time, so it is necessary to change their type of activity and place of play. It is good to combine walks with sports and outdoor games. Children should walk at least 2 times a day for 2 hours, in summer – unlimited

Sleep is an equally important part of the daily routine, which is especially necessary for weakened children. It is important that the baby falls asleep at the same time every day (both day and night).

Well, if a child watches TV or plays computer games for a long time before going to bed, his nervous system gains a lot of strong impressions and cannot relax during sleep. He will continue to “digest” what he saw, and will have terrible dreams all night. And of course, in the morning you will feel overwhelmed and lethargic.

Thus, the child’s home routine should be a continuation of the daycare routine and on weekends

Good nutrition - inclusion in the diet of foods rich in vitamins A, B, C and D, mineral salts (calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, copper), as well as protein.

The word “vitamin” comes from the Latin vita – life. Vitamins are involved in metabolism and regulate certain biochemical and physiological processes. A lack of vitamins in food or a change in the processes of their absorption leads to metabolic disorders and ultimately to the development of hypo- and avitaminosis. To achieve a certain level of vitamin saturation, it is necessary to use preparations that include vitamin complexes in optimal ratios, especially in the winter-spring period. By the way, the use of multivitamins 1 - 2 tablets per day in normal dosages during an epidemic of influenza and influenza-like diseases reduces the incidence of illness in children by at least 2 times.

It is advisable to prepare all dishes for children from natural products, unrefined, without additives, spices or preservatives. Include cottage cheese, buckwheat and oatmeal in children's diets more often.

Equally important is the diet, that is, maintaining certain intervals between meals.

It is important for children to develop an interest in improving their own body health. The sooner a child gets an idea of ​​the structure of the human body, learns about the importance of hardening, movement, proper nutrition, and sleep, the sooner he will be introduced to a healthy lifestyle. If a child is forcibly forced to engage in physical education, as well as to observe the rules of hygiene, then the child quickly loses interest in this.

Play is the leading activity in preschool age. The better a child plays role-playing games, the more successful he will be in school. While a child’s psyche is developing, he must play. Without play, children develop a feeling of fear, lethargy and passivity. Play is a leading human need.

It is not for nothing that there are now many game programs on television for adults who did not get enough of them in childhood.

The health of the child is affected by the harmful inclinations of the parents. It is no secret that children of smoking fathers and mothers suffer from bronchopulmonary diseases more often than children of non-smokers.

Injuries and accidents have serious consequences for a child’s health, so children should never be left alone, unattended. Children are very inquisitive and try to imitate us adults in everything. They can turn on electric heaters and love to play with small objects. Remember, the child’s health is in your hands!

The health of the child is above all, the wealth of the earth will not replace it. You can’t buy health, no one can sell it, take care of it like your heart, like your eye.

Children, as you know, are a product of their environment - it shapes their consciousness and habits. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle must be developed starting from childhood: taking care of one’s own health as a core value will become a natural form of behavior.

So what is health? It would seem that the simplest answer should be that health is the absence of disease. But this is not enough to explain to a child. Health is happiness! Health is when you are cheerful and everything works out for you. Everyone needs health - children, adults, and even animals. In developing concepts about a healthy lifestyle, you need to make it clear to children what they need to do to be healthy? You need to want and be able to take care of your health. If you don't take care of your health, you can lose it

The concept of a healthy lifestyle includes many aspects.

This is firstly: adherence to the daily routine.

In kindergarten, the regime is observed, as this is one of the important conditions for ensuring the activities of the preschool institution. But at home, the routine is not always followed; children need to be taught to go to bed early and get up early.

Secondly: these are cultural - hygienic skills.

Children must be able to wash themselves correctly, know why they need to do it: to be clean, to look good, to feel pleasant and have healthy skin, to be hardened, to wash away germs.

• To consolidate skills, it is recommended to use artistic expression and dramatization of game situations.

Wash yourself with soap! Do not be lazy! Don't slip out, don't get angry! Why did you fall again? I'll wash you first!

About microbes:

A microbe is a terribly harmful animal, insidious and, most importantly, ticklish. Such an animal will crawl into your stomach and live there quietly.

The rogue will climb in, and wherever he wants, he walks around the patient and tickles him. He is proud that he causes so much trouble: runny nose, sneezing and sweat.

Did you children wash your hands before dinner? Oh, brother Fox, you look like you have a cold. Wait a minute, your forehead is hot. There must be a microbe inside you!

Together with your children, consider situations of protection from germs and draw a conclusion that children should learn well: do not eat or drink outside; always wash your hands with soap,

returning from the street, before eating, after using the toilet. Invite children to count how many times a day they have to wash their hands; eat only washed vegetables and fruits; when you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue; eat only from clean dishes.

Thirdly: these are gymnastics, motor activity, hardening and outdoor games. If a person plays sports, he will live longer. “Take care of your health from a young age.” Children need to know why they say this. Be sure to do gymnastics daily.

Fourthly: food culture. Playing out the situations “Visiting Mishutka” and “Winnie the Pooh visiting the Rabbit”, looking at and discussing pictures for the games: “Beware of the virus”, “Be healthy!”. Tell children that vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins A, B, C, D, what foods contain them and what they are needed for. For better memorization, you can use a literary word.

I never lose heart, And there is a smile on my face, Because I take Vitamins A, B, C.

It is very important to eat oatmeal at breakfast early in the morning. Black bread is good for us, and not only in the morning.

Remember the simple truth, Only those who chew raw carrots or drink carrot juice see better.

Oranges help against colds and sore throats. Well, it’s better to eat lemon, even though it’s very sour.

Games on the Basics of a Safe Life and on the Rules of the Road help in creating a culture of a healthy lifestyle.

Just talking about the importance of health is not enough; it is necessary to take daily, albeit small, but certainly numerous steps. Then a healthy foundation will certainly be formed on which a beautiful edifice of human life can be built in the future. So let's teach our children from a very early age to take care of their health and take care of it! "Movement is the basis of health"

Everyone knows how important movement is in human life. But the distance between knowledge and practice is often very large. Meanwhile, it is also known that people who train their muscular system, even if it is very small, but certainly through daily activity, are much less susceptible to accidents and illnesses. Statistical data from the practice of children's doctors, medical commissions and insurance companies indicate the extreme importance of movement and proper nutrition in the lives of children and adults.

Very simple, non-boring advice for parents on the problem: “Movement and health”

The human brain, especially when it comes to unconscious thinking, is saturated

impressions. In the future, 80% of our activities are guided by this

unconscious experience. Therefore, educating children about the needs of a healthy body, training, and training play an extremely important role, both in kindergarten and in the family. It is necessary to explain to children the significance of not only certain actions and habits, but this is the main thing - to set their own example.

Do morning exercises, move more, engage in physical exercise and sports, lead a healthy lifestyle, involve your children in active activities and they will grow up to be healthy and successful people. Parents are an unquestioned authority for children, they will accept them as role models.

From an early age, teach your children to take care of their health and take care of it. Joint activities unite and unite children and adults. The position of parents largely determines the attitude of children towards physical education and sports. If adults lead a healthy lifestyle, regularly perform at least the simplest physical exercises with their children, are active and easy-going, this is “fertile soil” on which good seedlings will sprout - strong, healthy children who love physical education.

Just talking about the importance of health is not enough.

We must take daily, albeit small, but certainly numerous steps. Then a healthy foundation will certainly be formed on which a beautiful edifice of human life can be built in the future.

Participate more often in physical education and sports activities held in kindergarten. Children enjoy the presence of adults and are proud of their parents. Sports holidays in which family teams compete bring the family together, bring a lot of joy and are remembered by adults and children for a long time.

Organize holidays for your children at home; spare no time or effort. All this will pay off in the health of your child, his active life-affirming position, and further success in life.

The best days are Saturday, Sunday, holidays, holidays, vacation.

Anyone can command - mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, son or daughter, aunt, uncle, etc. You can the “periods” and then everyone is responsible for their own “event” their own period of time.

In the morning, while still in bed, do a few muscle stretching exercises:

• Lie on your back, stretching your legs and arms, stretch your whole body
• Tighten your feet and toes
• Moving your arms far behind your head, spread your palms, extend your fingers, inhale

- Then relax, moving your arms along your body, and exhale.

It is good to accompany the exercise with thoughts or words, saying them in a whisper or out loud: “Good morning! How good! I am well! Everyone is healthy! I love my family!"

- From the same starting position, placing your arms bent at the elbows under your head, stretching your legs (you can hook your toes onto the headboard of the bed or hide them under a folded blanket), do several half-lifts of the upper body, without lifting your legs from the bed.

- Lying on your back, arms straight along the body, or elbows bent under the head, raise your legs up several times, trying to make a “right angle” .

— Continuing to lie on your back, perform several rotational movements with your palms and feet in one direction and the other.

- From a position lying on your back, with your arms and legs stretched out, roll over onto one side, onto your back, onto the other side, onto your stomach.

- From the starting position, lying on your stomach, stretching out your arms and legs, make a “boat” , bending in your back, raise your head, upper torso, legs.

Say: “Okay! Very good!" Stand up.

It is worth repeating the exercises from two to four times with a smile and a good mood.

The general uplifting command coming from the other room is very invigorating, uniting the whole family with a common idea, a common action, a common cheerful mood, saturating everyone with positive emotions.

"Hello everybody! Hello everyone!"

Joint gymnastics in a large room or hallway - what could be better?! The exercises are the simplest and accessible to all family members from the smallest to the largest. Improvisations and imitative movements are especially good.

Shower! From this morning procedure, everyone, especially children, will enjoy a real fun water holiday.

Now for a delicious breakfast! After all, this is the most important meal of the day. That's why we don't eat breakfast on the go. A beautifully set table, favorite dishes, loved ones - how wonderful it is! Over breakfast we have peaceful conversations about the day ahead, including the needs of the body.

Then all sorts of calm, active yard games, initiated by all family members. Grandparents will offer to play old folk games, dad and mom will offer to play the games of their childhood, and children will offer to play modern outdoor games. It will be interesting and useful for everyone. Play games such as: “Forfeits” , “Don’t say yes and no” , “Loto” , “Burners” , Salki” , “Kvach” , Bluff” , “Hide and Seek” , “Cossack Robbers” , “ Freeze" , "Colors" .

From home to the street, to nature.

A walk or excursion, a trip, a hike, a visit to cultural and entertainment institutions, parks, children's attractions, and theaters are required. Talking about the beneficial effects of nature and recreation on health is helpful.

You can have lunch at the catering point. It is pleasant and interesting, and contributes to the social and communicative development of children.

Sit on a bench, admire the sky, river, trees, flowers, etc., breathe calmly - it is so peaceful, promotes relaxation, deep rest.

You can still move actively. Or visit the cinema. It is important that during the day the child performs various exercises: stretch, and then relax your muscles, and you will have a feeling of warmth throughout your body, tense your back muscles, squeeze your shoulder blades together, stand straight, lower and raise your head several times and you will have a beautiful posture.

In the evening at home there is a common dinner, hygiene procedures, quieter games, family reading (preferably fairy tales or entertaining stories - everyone loves them). If you can’t watch an interesting program together without TV, but not for long, it’s harmful for children.

Children going to bed. "Good night!" It is very good if children are sung a lullaby, sit next to him with kind words - such moments are remembered for a lifetime, they convince the child of his own security and importance for the family, awaken peace of mind in him, strengthen his health, help him to be confident and successful.

Be healthy!
