Attention: children's sandbox!

It is time to go with the child to the Playground and play in the sandbox. This means that he will try the sand on the teeth. What are the consequences of this method of research space and how to avoid it, we asked the pediatrician, neonatologist clinic "Pediatrician" Mikhail Sokolovsky.

How a child can get hurt playing in the sandbox, is influenced by the following factors.

The General culture of the population.

Not to worry due to the fact that the child-eating sand from the sandbox, can be poisonous or catching some disease, it's important to keep the sandbox clean, namely: to ensure that playgrounds not walking dogs, was not going youth with alcohol and cigarettes and so on, unfortunately, in modern conditions it is not every yard can be done.

Observance of rules of personal hygiene.

If the child in early childhood are not accustomed to eat on the street, it is less likely that he will want to eat sand. When the child walks on the Playground, there shouldn't bring any "snacks".

Control parents.

The first time it is important to stay close in time to divert the attention and remove the palm of sand stretching to the mouth. If the time to stop the child, he brought up a conditioned reflex.

The power on.

If you follow some diet and limit child in certain trace elements, it is possible that the child will "get" the deficit in the external world, as an option is the sand.

The living conditions.

Children living in the village, insensitive to those diseases affecting urban kids. Often you can see a village child, eating raspberries dirty hands. If the child to grow in sterile conditions, more likely, accidentally tasted the sand on the tooth, he will fall ill.

The likely impact of gastronomic mayhem:

- intestinal infections (viral, bacterial);

- helminth infection (colonization of the child's body all kinds of worms); chemical poisoning (in the sand can meet tube from unidentified bottles).

According to psychologists, the use of games in the sandbox for children is invaluable.

But in order to protect the child from possible consequences of research interest and desire to try everything on the taste, it is important to follow some rules:

- do not create for the child sterile conditions;

personal toys should not be washed in the disinfecting solution, or boil, enough to wash in running water;

- wash the floors should be once a day or at least a couple times a week, without the use of household chemicals;

- teach your child to wash their hands after a walk, or before eating;

-feed him variously to food included all the necessary vitamins and minerals;

- don't train your child is on the Playground;

- always be on the alert to prevent try to eat sand, lick the floor or tasted daddy's shoes.

If you do not restrict the child's diet, you can count on the fact that he once tasted the sand on the teeth, will understand how it is tasteless and will refuse further experiments. So, if you are sure of the purity of the sand, you can try this pedagogical experiment: let the child at least once to satisfy your gastronomic interest to the sand.
