When talking about our age, there are generally two statements, one is the imaginary age, the other is the first year, and the first age will be one year younger than the imaginary age.
In some areas, people like to use false years when reporting their age. However, there are also some regions, which are subject to the age of one.
What kind of do you usually come from?
@Xin'er: Imaginary age, from childhood to adulthood, I have been reporting the imaginary age of my own age. To the child, it is natural to report the false age, that is, the age, I think it is the same.
@Heavenly Crescent Moon: I used to report the false age, but because I was in kindergarten, the teacher was one year old when teaching the child. When someone asks how old the child is, the child says that he is one year old, and we follow the child.
@Lide: It's all about the first year, when I was a child, my parents reported my first birthday when I was a child, and I didn't know that there was such a thing as a false age when I went to college.
@Yueshan: Look at the situation report, but let the child know the first year and the imaginary age. When I was a child, I said that I was old, and I always felt that I was older than my classmates, and I was called the big sister by my classmates, and at that time it was still a psychological shadow. Only later did I find out that it was only two months older.
In fact, it is okay to report the false age and the first year, but in the following 3 occasions, you must report the child's age, or you may not miss it.
One. hospital
Children who go to the hospital must say that they are one year old, because the dosage of drugs for children in the hospital is very strict, and the dosage of children who are separated by several months is different.
Therefore, only by telling the doctor that the child is one year old, the doctor can prescribe the appropriate dose according to the child's body. If the child is said to be older because of the false age, the dose prescribed by the doctor will be more, which is not good for the child's body.
Therefore, when you go to the hospital, you must report the child's first birthday, and the doctor can prescribe medicine according to the age of the child to prescribe the right medicine.
Two. After the child goes to school
When I went to school, my classmates were my peers, but because some children were birthdays in the first half of the year, and some children were birthdays in the second half of the year. According to the imaginary age, the children in the class will have an age difference of 1 year.
For some sensitive children, they will feel that they are older than others and still in a class, whether they are too stupid. There will also be other children who make fun of their own children's ages.
Regarding the situation of school age, be sure to explain it clearly to your child, and don't let your child feel uncomfortable because he is older than others.
After the child goes to school, let the child know that there is a year old and an imaginary age, that they are all the same age in the class, not older than others, not smaller than others, and are all schools according to the legal age of enrollment.
Three. When the child is lost
The change of children is very large, the difference of one year and two years is not only different in size, but also the psychological development is also different.
Especially for children whose birthday is in the second half of the year, the age is two years old, for example, a child's birthday is December 12, if the first year is 3 years old, the imaginary age is 5 years old.
The two-year-old age difference doesn't change much in us adults, but in children, 3-year-olds don't have the ability to take care of themselves, and they can't even speak clearly, but 5-year-olds have been treated as "little adults".
Therefore, when the child is lost, be sure to say the child's first birthday. In this way, others can judge the child's size, appearance and behavior in the first place. If you say that the age is false, it may be a little biased in others' understanding.
There is no difference between one year old and an imaginary age, but in some formal occasions, the first year is more accurate.
