Children Healthy Care

Take special care to monitor your children while taking a bath, attend a swimming pool or sea. Do not lose sight for a second because it would cost too much to ask for help if you are in danger of drowning.
Nor they can close the locked bathroom, because in case of a slip or other accident, you can not come to their aid urgently.

In this sense, do not panic if you hear a scream or cry, as this is very common in boys. The real concern is if you do not hear for a long time: they could be knocked unconscious by a blow or be slumped.

Encourage them also to avoid walking through dark alleys or little traffic, and never open the front door to a stranger, although it says it comes from mom or dad.

Consider, if it is within reach, the possibility of buying a cell phone for their children. Otherwise, do not forget to remind them to observe a few coins or a phone card out of your wallet, so they can communicate with you by phone if they were to subtract the wallet.

Stay alert to what children are doing. If you’re too busy, try to get someone else you trust like a friend or family member for supervision.

If left alone at home, leave them a list of phone numbers where they should call in case of an emergency. Also, tell what neighbors could turn to for a very urgent help.

Teach While the address and phone number of where they live and the people they should seek support in the event that they lose. Prevent to refrain unknown bystanders, but police or, failing that, to vendors in a commercial.

The habits, both healthy as harmful to health, begin to form early. Never too early or too late to develop good habits of physical activity. Sure, “the sooner the better”, but “never too late if this is good.” So, starting today, “To run away!”

One of the best ways to promote the healthy growth of our children and keep our communities healthy is through the establishment of an active lifestyle in the family. Research shows that children and adults who exercise regularly have fewer problems with physical and emotional health than those who take a passive lifestyle, sedentary.

It is recommended that we exercise to the point of sweating at least an hour a day. The exercise serves as a source of energy to perform everyday tasks and helps reduce stress. It also provides opportunities to share and enjoy as a family.

Here are some ways to fit exercise into our daily routine and our family traditions.

Principles:

• To establish realistic goals (exercising regularly, not to become professional athletes.)
• Provide regular rewards as motivation (reward or drive you want).
• To make the exercise time a fun time (making music, changing the place, changing the routine).
• Reduce the time spent in passive activities (television, computer, video games).
