My family's innate genetics in terms of height are actually very general. Fortunately, in recent years, relying on the maintenance of traditional Chinese medicine parenting, Han Jie's height has always been online, and among her peers in the school, she is basically at the upper middle level.
Life lies in movement, and in the maintenance fueled by spring, movement is the most important link. Kinetic energy is yang, more exercise, the yang of the child's body is sufficient, the yang is enough, not only is it not easy to get sick, but it will also grow like a small seedling in the spring.
Today I will talk about what kind of pro-growth exercises I have taken with my children this spring.
Conform to the spring gas machine
Do more upward movements
In the spring, the air machine between heaven and earth is rising and floating, and with this rising breath, the kite can easily fly very high, and the child grows up the same.
Do more upward movement this season. For example, the touch height recommended before, and for example, Han Jie has recently done every day - jump rope. These upward movements, along the direction of liver qi rise, are also consistent with the natural qi machine in spring, which is very helpful for children to grow their bodies.
Since the beginning of Lichun, Han Jie's jump rope has been found, and she has jumped rope 100 to 200 times a day, which has become her recent daily essential sports. Good weather, just jump downstairs, bad weather is in the corridor. I also bought a mat, if you don't have an outdoor jump rope, jumping across the mat at home can alleviate a little noise.
Jump rope is suitable for five or six-year-old children, too small children will not jump, even if they can jump two or three times, there is no continuity, children are not easy to find a sense of achievement in such sports, it is not easy to persist. Sister Han did not jump rope before, and once she jumped, she tripped the rope, and then she simply did not jump the rope first. Running and jumping outdoors at home is also the most suitable sport for small children.
If children are interested, they can also jump trampolines, and many children will be happy when they jump trampolines. If you are not able to jump on your own, parents can stand aside and let the child hold the adult's hand so as not to fall. In this way, there is companionship, exercise and happiness are available, and growing tall is also a matter of obedience.
Some boys don't like to jump rope, and basketball is also a good choice. Shooting requires full body power to jump up, which is also an upward movement. There is also a treasure to buy a high artifact, you can use it when the weather is bad, you can't go out and don't delay the child's exercise.
Liver qi is smooth
The body also stretches out like a spring foliage
Spring corresponds to the liver, this season the liver qi is exuberant, if the liver qi is smooth, it will naturally grow well, but if the body's own qi machine is not smooth, the liver qi is depressed, and the child's growth process will also be affected.
During this time, I found that Sister Han sometimes had a hot temper. She was anxious at every turn, and I was also impatient, and sometimes we couldn't help but rub out a little spark. They all said that in the spring, we should be less angry, less critical, more encouraging and praising, so that the two of us can get along happily, I recently arranged a liver-thinning exercise for myself and Han Jie - stepping on the ball.
The ball was almost as big as an egg. I use the bungee balls that are available at home, and you can also buy fascia balls online. The practice is to stand firmly on the ground with one foot and roll the other foot on the ball back and forth, left and right.
Roll a little dozen times, the soles of the feet will have a noticeable soreness, and then change to another one. Some people can clearly feel the soles of their feet being pulled when they step on the ball, clucking, and that's our tendon.
"Liver main tendon", the tendon under the foot is the position where the liver qi circulates, kneading this tendon softly, kneading it to restore elasticity, which is helpful for unclogging the tendons and veins of the whole body. If the liver qi is not smooth, by kneading the tendons, it can also soften the liver and thin the liver, so that the body can better dredge and develop upwards.
Temper is easy to be impatient, unhappy at every turn, sullen children can try to do it, a few minutes at a time. If there is no ball, all kinds of rolling pins at home, cylindrical bottles can also be used instead of trying.
For small month-old children
Crawling is the best exercise
If the baby at home is still young and can't do the bouncing movement, then climb at home. From the meridian point of view, crawling can make the qi run through the whole body, so that the qi flows more fully in various organs and meridians, thus playing a fitness effect.
Crawling is a coordinated systemic action that allows your child's muscles to be exercised throughout the body. If your mother doesn't mind, you can also take it to nature, climb on the grass in the park land, pay attention to safety during the period, and wash your clothes when they are dirty.
Big children can also climb, the other day I and Han Han wiped the floor of the house very clean, we are like two crabs, crawling all over the house, wiping the floor, my cervical spine and back feel particularly comfortable, Han Han crawled sweaty, she did not feel tired at all, but also said that it was fun.
And the simplest: run in the park
My mother, who knows me, knows that Sister Han runs home after school. I didn't let her run in the winter, and lately it's warmer and we're back to running around all day.
My house was close to the school, and on the way I passed a small park with grass and various trees, which was a scarce resource for the children of the city. Usually walking on the road, I can't catch the earth's qi, running on the grass, and I feel that I have absorbed the aura of heaven and earth.
Every day after school, I walked and ran, and I arrived home in ten minutes. Sometimes three or five classmates go home together, running and laughing, going home, exercising, happy, the amount of food has increased, sleep can also sleep in seconds, naturally grow taller.
Do proper exercise every day
Don't get too tired, just be happy
Having said all that exercise, how do we arrange it every day?
What Han Jie does every day is to run around and jump rope. Because you can run on the way home every day, it is easy to insist. Skipping rope for five minutes a day, not affected by the weather, and easy to stick to. Once or twice a week, or when I find out we're short-tempered, I throw a big kick- and kick.
Each child's physical strength is different, and mothers should be careful not to push too hard. To what extent is it enough to exercise? Probably the child feels a little tired, but not too tired situation, pay attention to no sweating, just slight sweating degree is similar. The most important thing is that the child feels happy, and exercise is a pleasant thing.
Some children appear after exercise, their faces are miserable, they are weak, sweating, their hands and feet are cold, that is, they are over-exercising, so that excessive exercise consumes qi and blood, but it is not conducive to the growth of the body.
Well, the above movement is what I threw. I know that as long as you want to exercise enough, the old mothers will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and find different ways to play. As long as it suits their children and everyone is happy, it is a good way to promote sports.
In the message, let's talk
Your baby's favorite sport lately
