In the hot summer, I believe many parents will have a problem. Faced with a high temperature of 37-88 degrees, should the air conditioner be turned on at home? Especially when their children are young, many parents would rather let their children use electric fans than air conditioners for fear that their children will catch cold.
But is this really right? There are actually obvious physical differences between children who use fans and children who use air conditioners, and parents can see it at a glance.
Ever since Duoduo was born, the air conditioner in their home has almost become a decoration. No matter how high the temperature is, they have reached a consensus not to turn on the air conditioner. At most, they just turn on the electric fan and shake their heads.
In their view, the air-conditioning wind is cold, and it can easily cause children to catch cold if it blows on them. But the electric fan is different. Although it is not a natural wind, it is no different from the natural wind and is a kind of protection for the child's body.
However, they have forgotten that children are actually more afraid of heat than adults, so when adults are sweating profusely while blowing on electric fans, children are naturally very hot as well. But sometimes because they are too young, they cannot express their inner dissatisfaction at all and can only convey their inner dissatisfaction through some actions.
Of course, there is another important reason. Many mothers always feel that the wind from the air conditioner will contain various dust and bacteria, and the children's physical fitness is relatively weak, so it is easy for them to get sick.
However, blowing an electric fan and blowing an air conditioner are two completely different environments, and the performance of children will naturally be different.
I often blow the electric fan
Children's body temperature is already high, and they are lively and active, so they often sweat profusely in summer. Even when sleeping quietly at night, there will be a lot of sweat on the neck, which can make the child very uncomfortable.
When the temperature is high, the air from the electric fan is hot and obviously cannot play a cooling role. When children sweat a lot, they will want to replenish water, so they will get up frequently at night to drink water and pee, which will naturally affect their normal sleep.
Frequently blow the air conditioner
If parents are willing to let their children blow the air conditioner, then the children will feel very comfortable. After all, the air flow from air conditioners is different from that from fans. Especially in high temperature environments, air conditioners are really an indispensable household appliance.
What adverse effects will it have on children if the air conditioner is not turned on in summer?
Not in good spirits
If the temperature is high at night and parents do not turn on the air conditioner, then the children will naturally feel a little hot and dry when sleeping. Even if they can finally fall asleep, it will affect their sleep quality.
When a child does not get enough sleep at night and the quality of sleep is poor, it is easy for him to feel lethargic on the second day. This will not only make the child lack energy, but also easily lead to a decrease in the child's immunity, which is actually detrimental to the child.
Skin itching
Many children will get prickly heat in the summer. On the one hand, it is because they like outdoor activities and like to run and jump around. During constant exercise, their bodies will secrete a lot of sweat. If they cannot be wiped off in time, This will lead to prickly heat.
And children don’t know how to relieve itching, so they often scratch the prickly heat with their little hands. If a child's nails are relatively long or they scratch a lot, it can easily cause damage to their skin and may even cause infection.
Emotional out-of-control
Children's emotional self-regulation ability is relatively weak. If they are in a very high temperature environment, it will be even more difficult for them to control their emotions, and they will have small tempers from time to time.
But if parents can keep the indoor temperature at a more appropriate state, then the children's emotions will naturally be at a normal value. Because they felt very comfortable, there was no reason to lose their temper.
Of course, although we recommend using air conditioners for children in summer, parents should also pay attention to the methods when using air conditioners. If they are not controlled properly, it may have the opposite effect.
Pay attention to temperature adjustment
Generally speaking, we recommend that the indoor temperature is between 26 and 28 degrees. Especially for families with children, the temperature should not be adjusted too low. Of course, while ensuring that the temperature is appropriate, you should also pay attention to the indoor humidity to prevent children from getting angry.
Ensure the cleanliness of the air conditioner
Generally speaking, after the air conditioner is not used for a period of time, a layer of dust will fall inside. Therefore, before using the air conditioner in the second year, parents should take out the filter and clean it carefully. At the same time, when using the air conditioner, you should also clean it regularly to prevent dust inside from blowing into the air with the wind and affecting the health of your children.
As long as the air conditioner is used correctly, I believe that air conditioning can only do good things for children without any harm. Therefore, scientific use is very important, and parents must keep this in mind.
