With the arrival of winter, children's outdoor games have become the most concerning issue for parents.
Every day when sending their children to kindergarten, parents will always ask:
"It's too cold today, are you still going out for activities?"
"Teacher, If your child has a runny nose today, don't let him participate in outdoor games. "
As everyone knows, participating in outdoor games, often exposed to the stimulation of air temperature, humidity, airflow and sunlight, and breathing fresh air can enhance the child's ability to adapt to the external environment, strengthen the body's metabolism , and promote growth and development.
Kindergarten understands parents who are nervous when winter comes. Faced with parents’ doubts, teachers can respond like this:
Temperature changes have little to do with children's colds. Improper dressing is the culprit.
It is correct to add or remove clothes as the temperature changes. However, from a scientific point of view, children's bodies are in a period of rapid development, their internal metabolism is much higher than that of adults, and the energy release required to maintain body temperature is also more than that of adults. It stands to reason that children should wear less clothing than adults. What about the facts? "There is a kind of coldness that means mom thinks you are cold." When winter comes, many children will be wrapped up into "little cotton balls" by their parents. When they go out, they will have three layers inside and three layers outside. They do not relax their vigilance indoors. In fact, children, like adults, have a good constant temperature system in their bodies. If they wear too much clothes, the temperature regulation function inside their bodies will be out of balance, making them more likely to catch colds.
Outdoor games are conducive to enhancing children's resistance and promoting their healthy growth.
Outdoor games are activities that are accompanied by sunshine and fresh air, individually or in groups, and use the whole body's senses to participate together. Frequently allowing children to participate in outdoor games and feel the changes in air temperature will help improve their ability to adapt to cold and heat, thus enhancing their own immunity . Outdoor games in kindergartens are not only regular, but also ensure enough time. The most important thing is that the children are together and the teachers organize activities. They are extremely happy and the amount of exercise will be greatly increased. Exercising in cold air will make children have a rosy complexion, a big appetite, eat more, sleep well, and grow faster due to the enhancement of their cardiopulmonary function. Children who stay in a warm room for a long time will have a poor appetite, lack of energy, and have a higher chance of getting sick.
When taking children to participate in outdoor games, teachers should pay attention to the following points:
Be sure to prepare well before playing games
The temperature is low in winter and the body is stiff. In this case, if the children start outdoor games immediately, it may cause muscle strain or joint damage, and due to the accelerated heartbeat, it may also cause nausea, vomiting and other maladaptive symptoms. Therefore, teachers should first prepare children for activities so that the muscles and joints of the whole body can move, and the organs in the body, especially the heart, can adapt to exercise, and blood circulation and material metabolism can be improved.
Avoid " disease entering from the mouth" and teach children to breathe through nose
winter When playing outdoor games during the season, teachers should teach children to breathe through their noses. There are rich blood vessels and more secretory glands in the nasal mucosa. When the cold air passes through the nasal cavity, it can play the role of heat preservation and moisturizing, thereby preventing cold, dry, or dusty and pathogenic microorganisms from being inhaled into the lungs. When the air is not enough, the child should also be reminded to breathe through the mouth and nose, or roll the front of the tongue slightly against the palate to prevent the cold air from directly irritating the throat and lungs. Teachers must not let children run and talk at the same time.
Keep warm to prevent frostbite
Take your children out for exercise, and add or remove clothes appropriately. After the preparatory activities, let the children take off their thick clothes.After the game is over, remind the children to put on their clothes in time and keep warm. If you sweat, dry the sweat on your body and put on dry underwear, or put a sweat towel on your child's back in advance and take it out after playing to prevent your child from catching a cold.
Pay attention to the safety and suitability of the playground floor.
Outdoor playgrounds are places where children can run, jump, climb and other strenuous activities. Before activities, teachers should carefully check the safety of the activity venue to ensure that the ground is free of debris and the equipment is firm and safe.
Children in their innocent world love outdoor games very much. In the cold winter, preschool teachers should design games that suit their physical and psychological needs, are interesting and can exercise according to the age characteristics of children, so as to increase children's interest in outdoor activities.
