Parents often and argue much concerning whether the slippers are necessary to children. Some prove that barefoot it is useful to go and it is pleasant, others say that the refusal of slippers can lead to the wrong formation of foot. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle. The slippers need to be used for designated purpose, without fanaticism and taking into account the structure of legs of the child.
Arguments pro
Children's foot is formed by 5 years. During this time the child much walking barefoot can quite "spoil" to himself a shape of a foot. First of all, the children suffering from various violations of foot - a displastichesky syndrome risk, for example. It is necessary for such children also at home, and on the street to walk in footwear with a rigid sole and a dense back.
When the child takes the first steps, the slippers are simply necessary for him: it fixes a leg, without allowing it to be sprained, and provides the correct rise. The kid gets used to slippers and gains the first skills of an independent obuvaniye. After the child grows up and will begin to move independently on the apartment or the house, the decision on need of slippers needs to be made, proceeding from circumstances.
It is necessary to put on the child where he has a risk to catch a cold. In the winter (but not in the summer!) it is possible to supplement slippers or moccasins with warm socks or to allow it to walk without slippers, but in socks on a silicone sole. Footwear is necessary in case you live in the apartment with slippery floors, in the private house, on the first floor, in the hostel.
Arguments contra
Adherents of circulation barefoot claim that the leg has to develop under natural conditions. They are right in case it is about healthy children. From time to time it is possible to allow the child to run about barefoot on the apartment, a grass or a sand. Certainly, in case floors in the apartment clean, and a grass and a sand are in the yard of own house. Circulation on a rough surface strengthens muscles of legs and helps to be formed to foot. If the child goes to the dacha or spends summer in the private house, you should not force it to put shoes on and be undressed during each entrance exit to the house. Needless to say what after jog barefoot on the yard of a slipper at the entrance to the room it is not obligatory to put on. Buy the kid bedroom-slippers and give him an opportunity most to solve when to put shoes on and when barefoot to run. After 5 years when the child grows up, and his leg will be created, it is possible to go to warm season barefoot on the apartment or the yard of the private house throughout the day. To children of advanced age, as well as adults, it is very useful to throw off footwear from time to time and to remember the natural origin. It is possible to put light socks on the child in the evening and to allow it to run without slippers on a floor. Socks will save the kid from need to remove and put on slippers during movements from a floor chairs and sofas, and back.
