Everyone has a heart for beauty, but now under the influence of countless "appearance is justice" message, more and more people are beginning to work hard to achieve the "beauty" defined by the public, and may be deeply anxious because of the gap between these single aesthetics. Under the influence of this unique contemporary "disease of the times", that is, "appearance anxiety", the phenomenon of plastic surgery and orthopedics is becoming younger and younger.
A mother in Nanchang surnamed Lu gave birth to a pair of cute twin daughters, perhaps because of the deviation of care between 1 and 3 months, although the children were healthy and lively, but the mother was very dissatisfied with the slightly flat head shape of the back of their heads. "My friend's son is there to do orthopedics, just buy an orthopedic helmet for 12,000 and wear it for a while!"
Her girlfriend's words made her full of interest in an orthopedic institution in Nanjing. So, he took his two daughters to Nanjing to buy. Although the agency discounted because of the purchase of two helmets at a time, it still cost 20,000 yuan.
Less than a month after wearing the so-called orthopedic helmets for her daughters who were only 4 months old, she first noticed that the eldest daughter had a lump in her eyes and some bulges on the top of her head, followed by the top of her second daughter's head. Frightened, Bao Mom and her husband rushed their daughters to the First Hospital of Nanchang City for examination, but they did not think about it, and the results of the examination made them regret the beginning. The doctor said: "The helmet affects the children's skeletal development, and when they grow up, the head cannot recover on its own, and can only be treated by surgery." ”
This report has attracted a lot of netizens, and some people think that this is simply to make young children suffer. But some people expressed understanding, "When I was a child, my parents also let me sleep on the orthopedic pillow for nearly 6 months, also out of good for me",
"Now there are many tens, hundreds or even thousands of orthopedic helmets and pillows on the market, if they can play a protective role for children, if they can do orthopedics appropriately, why not enjoy it" and other remarks are also common. Experts have reminded that if it is not for the treatment of the disease, parents must not make these moves because of "appearance anxiety", otherwise the harm caused to the child is immeasurable!
Do you want to do head orthopedics at a young age? It cost money unjustly and harmed the children
Previously, CCTV had done relevant reports, and the reporter investigated a number of so-called "infant head orthopedic" institutions and found that the so-called orthopedic helmets on the market today generally weigh between 200 and 300 grams, and most of the staff explained the principle of orthopedics as "appropriate contact with the protruding parts of the skull, so that the baby's flat head has enough room to grow, and then guide the head to grow in the flat direction when it develops."
And the merchant will also emphasize that there is a golden window period for the baby's head orthopedics, that is, 4 to 8 months, and the more difficult it is to grow in age, it will not be possible to orthopedic after 18 months. This kind of orthopedic helmet, which seems to have no scientific basis and usually costs no less than 10,000 yuan, has made many parents who lack parenting knowledge and are eager to have the perfect head shape rush to buy.
In this regard, the experts specially interviewed by the reporter advised that generally suffering from more serious head diseases, such as severe flat head syndrome, doctors will carry out external intervention treatment, after multi-party consultation to customize the detailed plan, it is possible to customize the corresponding orthopedic helmet according to the treatment plan.
But in other cases, especially since parents just want their children to have a round and good-looking head shape, doctors do not support the use of such products for young children.
After all, according to the science of physical development, usually our head development does not stop until puberty. Most children do not need these external interventions, and the head shape will gradually become normal with age. However, if external interventions are made during this period, such as wearing helmets, orthoses that are not specific to the treatment of diseases in regular hospitals, it will often affect the development of the child's skull.
Coupled with the fact that the helmet has a certain weight, long-term wearing not only affects the child's head activity, but also increases the pressure on the neck and also affects the development of the spine. Even orthopedic pillows can directly affect the neck.
Children develop flat head syndrome, which parents can handle
We have an old Chinese saying called "preventing problems before they happen", that is to say, if a child is not born with skull deformities, then it is necessary to do a good job of preventing deformity and development.
If you want to avoid long-term pressure and flattening of the back of his head or one side of his head, try not to let him develop a preference for lying flat or only leaning towards one side. If necessary, the parents can manually turn over for him, and when they wake up, they should also hold him appropriately to reduce head compression.
There is also a choice of a bed suitable for the baby, considering the appropriate hardness and keeping the mattress flat. In this way, it is beneficial for him to change the position of his head or turn over at any time, and will not maintain a sleeping position for a long time. There is also the increase in the time to let the baby lie on his stomach, which can not only facilitate the growth of the skull, but also exercise the strength of the neck.
Finally, if the child really has flat head syndrome, after the parents take him to the regular large hospital for examination, the doctor does not propose to wear the relevant orthopedic helmet, etc., and must not buy related products on the market for the child to use. Just do a good job of real-time observation and take your child to the hospital regularly for examination. You can't do things that affect your child's physical and mental health because of the single aesthetics of the adult world and the anxiety of your appearance!
Following the phenomena of "starting line anxiety" and "educational anxiety", "appearance anxiety" has also begun to shift to the parenting circle. Although in the eyes of parents, their children are the most beautiful, but once they fall into the strange circle of "appearance anxiety", parents are worried that "others" think that their children are not good-looking and cannot meet the so-called public aesthetic standards.
Pillow Parenting Message:
Even if it is only a problem of head shape, it can make parents anxious and painstaking. As everyone knows, in this state of anxiety, it is likely to do something to hurt the child without knowing it. Therefore, parents must remain calm and adhere to scientific parenting in order to better ensure the healthy development of children's physical and mental health!
