Tips for making friends in summer

Finding fellow players at the seaside is an indispensable condition for our children to spend an unforgettable vacation. How can we help you?
Most of the boys needed little time to make friends in the destination chosen to spend the summer holidays. For some, however, not easy to achieve. In these cases, parents can lend a hand to the small, trying to pave the ground, but without intervening directly. No kid likes, for example, that parents ask others if they want to play with his son or his friends. Promote contacts The first rule is that the deal has little opportunity to meet other kids their age.

Summertime offers endless possibilities: the beach, the pool, squares, children's play areas, and so on. And this must be taken into account when choosing the holiday destination. One village lost at the top of a mountain may be the ideal space for rest of the worldly noise, but it is not, of course, the best place for our children to establish new relationships.

Accept all the visits might want to invite the boy to eat at a friend she met in the morning on the beach or the pool. Parents should always accept, although this involves a change of plans. Especially shy children feel more secure in their own land. It is also important for parents interested in the guest, showing his kind with him.

New friends are sometimes set in the family and in this way, the small gain points. Do not get into fights all the boys fight ever. And it should not intervene in their disputes if it is not really necessary. It is better for the kids solve their problems among themselves. Parents tend to dramatize the situation and thus is more likely that the small, rather than make friends, create enmities. We respect your solitude introverted kids who feel comfortable being alone.

Friendships can not be forced and does not make sense to try to organize at all costs. Parents need only worry if your child is extremely lonely and does not even have friends at school.

How to avoid heat exhaustion

This is a common problem in sport, especially in children and during the summer months. The phenomenon is caused by a drop in blood pressure, loss of body fluids and salts at a faster pace than that of the replenishment.

Also contributing to this situation the impact of heat on blood vessels, which dilate to produce a sudden drop in blood pressure.

By knowing how it occurs, we are able to take some precautions: avoid playing for a long time without replenishing the fluids that are going to lose if it is hot wet neck frequently monitor the location of sports is well ventilated in what may be cool.

If a kid is so faint must lie with their heads sideways as if to vomit and the lower the level of the body, while the doctor is called.

Animals annoying in summer

Children have very different attitudes compared to animals. At about love and leaving others running, but none of them is immune to suffer a bad experience.

Bites from dogs and cats: The bites of domestic animals do not cause serious damage if the animal is vaccinated against rabies. If this information is unknown, we must wash the wound immediately with plenty of soap and water to remove all traces of saliva that was able to stop the aggressor and urgently go to the hospital to perform the cure for the doctor and evaluate the need for a reinforcement antitetanus.

Snakebites: There is a very large number of poisonous snakes. Faced with a bite reptile (certainty is the footprint of two separate punctures), you have to put at rest to the child, reassure and immobilize the affected part. Disinfect the wound and put a band of about 10 centimeters, which slightly compress the member, above the bite, loosen 30 seconds every 10 minutes and you have to monitor pulse under the band.

If possible, apply cold, as it decreases the spread of poison and dampens inflammation. We need to alert the police to indicate which school has the poison antidote, and transfer the child to the hospital urgently.

Scorpion bite and spiders: always act immediately. Immobilize the wounded, and apply a cold compress band constrictor that superficial venous circulation, but not deep. Can be given an ointment with steroids and antihistamines, while the transport to the hospital and also give children an analgesic, which calms the child.

Bee and wasp: When a bee stings, you should remove the stinger with tweezers and then put ointment antihistamines. If the stings are multiple, occur in the mouth or you have allergies, you should go immediately to the hospital.

If this is a sting in isolation, there will be pressure to the wound area (like a pimple) to quit the poison or sting. Relieve pain by applying cold water and baking soda. Clean and disinfect the wound.

Burns in children and INSOL

A full sun
The skin of children is very sensitive to the sun's rays. So in summer and on the beach, there is nothing better than an umbrella and T-shirt. In addition we must apply every two hours, a sunscreen product with high-protection factor of 6 to 8, children over two years, and 12 to 15, for the babies.

Sunburn: always happen by overexposure to the sun. Cause skin rashes, itching and pain. Faced with a slight burn, the first thing you should do is to cool the damaged skin with a soft sponge or cold compresses, and then applying a special moisturizing lotion to alleviate the effects of the sun, in other words, after a sun. Never fat creams or oils.

The most serious burns acquire a red-violet, produce blisters, pain and fever. If the child is big, you can apply an ointment specifically for sunburn and let it heal on the air. When the boy is small, it should go to the doctor. Should drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate the skin.

Insolaciones: Heat stroke is more serious than the burn. Is also produced by passing too many hours in the sun without protection. Your symptoms may include: skin red, dry, hot, or pallor, exhaustion, cold sweat and headaches, dizziness, vomiting ... In this case we must act immediately transferred to the child in the shade, a cool, airy and loose clothing.

If you are pale, we have to put your head lower than his feet, and if it is red, put it in elevated position on a cushion. Fan and applied wet towels for the temperature to fall. At the same time, offer liquids: no ice-cold water with salt, lemon and sugar. It should alert the doctor.

Heat exhaustion: It is different from heatstroke or burn, but so has the sun. Its symptoms include redness of the skin, which in turn is humid and very hot, fever, headache, stunning and, sometimes, dizziness and delirium.

When introduced, and while the doctor comes, the most urgent task is to lower body temperature, submerging the child in warm water and then wrapping it in a blanket or wet towel until the fever down.

Babies`s in summer

Many times is often comment that the summer is a time of the year, which is not good for babies. This is totally untrue!

Taking precautions, and where temperatures do not arrive at their extreme limits, this time is very good for babies. The basic reasons to support this assertion, which are allowed to stay much longer away from home, carrying little clothing, and even dispense with the annoying diaper and play naked, something that the little ones are fascinated altogether.

In fact, his entire body can benefit at this time: irritations heal faster, and germs and other agents that can cause colds or colds, much less rampant.

The open-air, water, grass, sand, and many other elements of nature, create optimal conditions for which babies are stimulated and begin to gain independence and autonomy.

Nor should we leave them alone on the seashore, even an instant. We must caution that no one will push or pull it. If you keep sitting, we can accompany him to shore and leave it to splash comfortable in a quiet place where they can not reach the waves and there is no danger whatsoever.

The sand also has its dangers. Like water, is an ideal medium for the game, but it needs to be careful not to be the goal in their mouths or they do not enter into the nose. The best precaution is constant vigilance, that will allow removal of dangerous hands any object you find.

A big towel and tissue paper, are also very useful.

And more importantly than ever lacking water.

Does the Air conditioning Make Bad?

The human body is capable from certain adaptation to the room temperature when the changes are progressive, let us remember as oneself temperature, for example 20ºC, they can be perceived as warm" "temperature in winter or I eat cold" "temperature in summer. However every time is more enhanced the climatizadores use and air conditioning, as much in particular homes as in public places of business, working centers and in the automobiles. These devices are conceived to improve the comfort, but you are not always this way, since sometimes your use can involve nuisances and even problems of health.

The factors that can contribute to these problems of health can be intrinsic to the own facilities and devices. Fundamentally they are the environment dryness that you/they cause, an excessively cold temperature, noises and a faulty maintenance of the facilities. The different susceptibility of people will also be a determinant factor.

Beginning with the first of them, the dryness of the environment created by the air conditioning is usually an irritating important factor, to which are allocated to be the lawsuit of quarrel-pharyngeal nuisances, dryness of eyes and sometimes dermal irritations. In susceptible people they can be something more than nuisances causing pharyngitis. In the users of contact len the dryness can be so irritating that you impede you the use of the same ones if they remain a lot of time in dependences with air conditioning.
Difference of temperature

When the difference of temperature is excessive among the dependences with air conditioning and those that don't have it or with the exterior, when passing a person of a place with air conditioning and therefore cold, to another that don't have it and therefore warm, or on the contrary, to pass of a place without air conditioning to another with air conditioning, a sharp change will take place in your room temperature giving place to reactions you wander you with sudoración and sometimes sensation of dizziness, in extreme cases the sudoración can be very intense, and even to take place a vasovagal authentic syncope.

The direct inhalation of cold air and the dryness of the air, very together or individually, they diminish the defensive barriers of the bronchial epithelium making you more vulnerable to the infections, so much bacterial as viral. Also the direct inhalation of cold air in susceptible people can unchain intense rinorrea and a broncoespasmo crisis in asthmatic people. Not they are uncommon the migraines, being able to unchain migraines or headaches

Another factor anything worthless you are the noise caused by the apparatuses, so much for the own machinery as for the step of the air for the conductions. This noise can pass desapercibido initially, but when we abort the place or you fade the installation you show the "noise that you had" and acúfenos can sometimes be suffered with sensation of auditory temporary forfeiture after remaining a lot of time in an air conditioning installation.
Big facilities

The "towers of refrigeration" of the big facilities or the compressors of the domestic apparatuses are places where heat is generated and you also condense the air humidity that cool down. These two factors favor the increment of microorganisms, being characteristic the increment of specially ubiquitous germs as the bacterium Legionella pneumophila and the mushrooms Aspergillus.

Legionella usually nests in the dampening systems and in the towers of vaporization, that makes that the infection can be transmitted by the air conditioning conductions, but also to the exterior. As the air conditioning it is also used logically in summer, the high temperature contributes to the survival of the bacterium in the ejected vapor, having been this the mechanism of the last you emerge there been in our country. The manifestations of the infection taken place by Legionella can vary especially from a catarrhal bare syndrome that pass desapercibido, until a pneumonia that put in hazard the person's life, if you suffer another illness that weaken your system inmunitario.

The Aspergillus is specially ubiquitous mushrooms that can be in the earth, powder, sheets of dry plants and many other places. They can also grow inside air conditioning facilities with a faulty clean-up. The inhalation of spores of Aspergillus is very communio but the illness is strange, practically only taking place in people with faulty defence, mainly to suffer another debilitating illness. The call bronchopulmonary allergic aspergilosis takes place in asthmatic people.

This exhibition can give the idea that the use of the air conditioning only produces nuisances and risks of contracting illnesses, however the frequency of these problems is petty comparing it with the great number of people that you/they use it.

We can also palliate partly them taking some elementary measures as:

* Not to put an excessively cold temperature that even force us to use certain coat clothes, as sweaters or jackets. The temperature should oscillate between 21ºC and 25ºC, depending from the physical activity to develop, but in any case it should be inferior at 21ºC.
* The border of temperature that prevent to reconcile a remedial dream is around the 27ºC, for that that at night in the places where you will fall asleep you are not necessary to make use of the air conditioning if you doesn't arrive to those temperatures and in any event not to put it more low of 25ºC.
* You are to lend care to breathe correctly for the nose when you is with air conditioning, since the nose will heat and you will humidify the air that we inhale. Let us remember that the cold and the dryness are two factors that make vulnerable to the bronchial epithelium, what are specially important in people with respiratory chronic illnesses as EPOC.

Regulatory schemes exist for the maintenance of the big air conditioning facilities that you are to observe conscientiously. But we should also take care of the maintenance of the domestic facilities. Although they are much plainner, you will have to clean the filters and conductions periodically and to clear every day the vessels of condensation of water if a system that make it alone don't exist.

The regulation of temperatures and hours of up-to-date use you have special importance in the sanitary centers, since for your own nature a concentration of people exists with problems of health that make them more susceptible.

A rational use of the air conditioning is safe and you produce more comfort than health risks. Your uncontrolled use will represent a bigger risk for the health to half and I release term for the problems caused to the environment, due to the excessive energy consumption currently pollutant that what can suppose nowadays at individual level.
