Being born on white light, the person takes the first breath and whether triumphing, whether the scared shout announces the emergence. Breath becomes natural function of our organism which attracts attention only in case of any deviations, violations or diseases. But if to find an opportunity in everyday vanity and to find time for a respiratory system, without waiting for any failures in its work, then it is possible to improve a condition of all processes of activity qualitatively. It turns out that it is especially important to teach the child to breathe correctly. It will allow to create necessary basis for development of his abilities, the correct habits and good health.
Respiratory gymnastics
The respiratory gymnastics represents a complex of exercises, simple for the child, or, to tell more precisely, entertaining and cheerful games.
And it carries out a task extremely important: strengthening of children's immunity, saturation of an organism oxygen, ensuring active work of a brain, cardiac muscle, reliable functioning of nervous and digestive systems.
Learn why children are ill and how to make that he was ill less.
The child it is necessary to teach to breathe correctly that lungs were completely cleaned, without allowing the stagnant centers of the air "spoiled" by carbon dioxide. In that case less oxygen will come to blood, cages of all bodies will starve, thereby weakening protective barriers before various diseases.
The circle becomes isolated: there is no full breath – there is no normal work of a human body.
To begin to be engaged in breathing exercises it is possible with the child who reached age of 1.5-2 years. At first it is necessary to show to the kid that such breath.
For this purpose it is possible to play with a dandelion: to blow on it a mouth that it was visible how fuzzes scatter; then it is possible to make the same action a nose, pressing serially to a nose bridge one, other nostril.
The same serial breath it is possible to practise, blowing out the candles, starting a paper mill, blowing off from a plain surface of paper moths. Inflation of soap bubbles brings a lot of pleasure, fun and perfectly trains breath of kids.
Whether you know? The jellyfish has no lungs or gills, her skin so thin that oxygen molecules without problems get in an organism through it. Thus, all body of a jellyfish is a body of her breath.
During walks in the park or houses in a garden, in a flower bed, on the river bank or the seas it is very useful to inhale together with the child through a nose a full breast fresh, fragrant air and to completely exhale it through a mouth, trying to release lungs as much as possible.
At the same time it is necessary to watch that at a breath the shoulders of the kid did not rise, and at an exhalation the cheeks were not blown out.
The sea, garden after a rain, the dismissed rose bud, lilies of the valley is important to draw the attention of the child to how the grass smells. It at the same time develops also perception of the world around through smells and strengthens a children's organism.
Before passing to respiratory gymnastics, it is necessary to try that the child surely made the sequence of actions: a breath through a nose and a full exhalation a mouth.
There is a number of various entertaining and cheerful exercises which you will be able to carry out together with the kid, choosing the most interesting to it, complementing them with use of soft toys, balloons and soap bubbles. Having taught the child to breathe a nose, it is possible to save it from frequent nasmorok, a tonsillitis, ORZ. By experts it is noticed that children with superficial breath possess lungs with a small volume – because of it not enough intake of oxygen in an organism and, as a result, susceptibility of the child to frequent diseases of a respiratory system.
Correctly picked up set of exercises can fix this problem.
Whether you know? Beavers are capable to hold the breath under water for the whole 15 minutes.
As such element of respiratory gymnastics for kids it is possible to compete with the child: to cut out from color paper of butterflies, to arrange them on a plain surface and to try forces in the one who will stronger blow at one of them and whose butterfly will fly away further.
It is possible to lay the kid on a bed or on a carpet on a floor, to seat to it on a stomach a small soft toy and to arrange driving on "elevator" or "in the balloon": on a breath the stomach has to be stuck out and the fluffy favourite rises, and on an exhalation the stomach falls together with it.
If to help the child to present that his stomach is a balloon, then it is possible to hold a training, on a breath through a nose inflating it, and on an exhalation a mouth letting out as much as possible from it the air. It is necessary to make all actions quietly, without hurrying, enough repetitions – 2-3 times.
Basic rules of carrying out
Trainings, in particular respiratory, should not be held in stuffy rooms.

Coercion, intimidations by punishment are inadmissible. Remember that it is impossible to force to be the person healthy and happy. He has to want it. Achievement of necessary effect depends on an invention and patience of adults.
The respiratory gymnastics cannot do at once after meal not to cause attacks of nausea or even vomiting. The temporary pause between these actions has to be not less than half an hour. It is not recommended to carry out such complex and on a hungry stomach, it can cause weakness and dizziness in the child.
And the similar state will fix the negative relation to occupations in his subconsciousness. So we choose "golden mean": in 30-40 minutes after a meal. This type of exercises represents serious loading for a children's organism. Therefore you should not think that if at once to make all complex, then the effect will be instant and the child will get healthier at the maximum load. It is necessary to begin with one exercise and it is necessary to carry out it no more than two minutes.

It is enough to repeat of it few times – and all unpleasant feelings have to disappear. The main thing – it is not necessary to panic, be nervous as your nervousness is transferred to the child and his unpleasant feelings can only be aggravated. Anyway it is necessary then to try to find out the reason of such indisposition together with the doctor to avoid it from now on.
It is necessary to observe also how the kid performs tasks. His shoulders have to be motionless, a look natural, weakened, without strained mimicry and tension.

The main objective when performing exercises consists in development of the correct deep breath. The amount of the oxygen coming to an organism depends on it that is it is paramount at such disease.
And the volume of the exhaled air the kid will determine itself by the requirement. Classes are given by courses for 1-1.5 months. Having taken a monthly break, they can be repeated. The number of exercises should not exceed 10, it is necessary to be engaged daily.

Experts advise to accustom the child to talk during a free, smooth and long exhalation, and before the conversation to make a deep breath:

A.N. Strelnikova's method
This method is distinguished from other traditional and not really respiratory complexes with an original view of habitual things. The author suggests to pay attention only to quality of breaths, including exhalations a natural epilog of inhalation.
According to this system, for bigger effect the breaths have to pass at artificial compression of a thorax that oxygen could get into the most remote sites of lungs. Results of classes in Strelnikova's method are simply stunning.
First, they substantially strengthen positive action of various ways of treatment. Secondly, in itself allow to achieve great results at treatment of different diseases of cardiovascular, nervous system, respiratory organs, a GIT, diabetes, at treatment even of a severe form of stutter at children.
Practically all groups of muscles are used for performance of these exercises that leads to formation of a correct posture at children and teenagers, develops flexibility and mobility. Full saturation of cages of an organism oxygen promotes formation of steady immunity.
Important! When carrying out this gymnastics the main attention needs to be paid to quality of breaths. They have to be carried out surely with close lips. The exhalation will occur by itself, without excess efforts, randomly.
To master respiratory gymnastics of Strelnikova, it is necessary to focus for a start on performance at the mid-flight rate and a standing position of three general exercises:
- "Palms": hands are bent in elbows, and palms are turned up. At a breath clench fists, as if something being enough and holding. Lungs and hands work at the same time. Breathing exercises represent alternation of a series of breaths (4 short and noisy) and any exhalations. Then five-second rest follows. So it is necessary to do 24 times that the total reached 96 breaths.
- Pogonchika: hands without tension are located along a body, brushes are compressed in fists. Parallel to a breath, sharply they are unclenched as though throwing something down. It is in a row short and noisy take 8 breaths, after that 2-3 seconds have a rest. Repetitions of these actions have to make 12 times.
- "Pump": hands are in the same situation, as in the previous exercise, legs are placed rather narrowly. At a small inclination it is necessary to curve a back as a cat forward. The head at this moment without tension of cervical muscles is freely hung. At an inclination shortly inhale a nose and with an exhalation become straight. Through 8 breaths it is possible to make a pause in 3-4 seconds. The number of repetitions steadily is 12 times.
On each subsequent occupation it is possible to add on one exercise of a respiratory complex of Strelnikova (all them 11). About three approaches to each task are recommended to carry out. But if there are temporary restrictions, then it is possible to be content also with one-two.
