Some parents initially are negative to hardening of children, confusing this concept with winter swimming. Process of hardening does not mean obligatory bathing in ice sources or rubdown by snow. First of all it is necessary for formation at the child of strong immunity, and such effect absolutely in other ways is reached.
Instruction
1. The weak immunity of the child is caused first of all by tendency to frequent catarrhal diseases. If the kid, for example, catches a cold several times a year, then it can be considered a disturbing signal. In this case temperature and cold from a teething or reaction to inoculations does not mean. It is about ORZ and a SARS.
2. It is necessary to begin hardening with the minimum quantity of cold water. Moisten hands in cool liquid and slightly rub off the child's legs. Such procedure should be carried out several times a week. To bathe the child in cold water or at once you should not arrange morning douches. Such actions you can do much harm to a children's organism.
3. Gradually increase duration of procedures and amount of cold water. Pay attention that liquid has to be not ice, but cool. An optimal variant - gather rather cold water in a basin and leave the ave. to room temperature not less than for 12-15 hours.
4. Only after 10-14 days since the beginning of rubdown of legs of the child cold water it is possible to start partial douche. At the same time water has to contact only to legs of the kid. For example, put the child in a bathtub and quickly pour over area to knees water of room temperature. Also it is necessary to carry out such procedure not less than a week. If during this period the child gets sick, hardening should be postponed for more favorable period.
5. In the similar way the field of douche increases to a belt, then to a breast and to the child's shoulders. In total process of schooling to hardening takes several months. If regularly to carry out such procedures, the children's organism substantially will get stronger and the child will be prone less to catarrhal diseases.
