Hello everyone, I'm Wenwen Dad! If you have a daughter at home, have you registered a "dance class" for your child? I reported to my daughter, and my daughter is also studying, but some time ago, a word from a doctor friend made me hesitate to suspend my daughter's dancing?
01, "I am a doctor, I will not easily let my children learn to dance"
Some time ago, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs got together, and talked about the children's interest class during the period. Several children learned to draw and piano, but none of them learned to dance.
"Why don't you give your children dance classes?" I asked doubtfully;
Among them, the doctor neighbor upstairs laughed a little and said: "Because I am a doctor, I know the risks of dancing, so I will not let my children learn to dance easily." ”
The neighbor looked at me with a puzzled look on my face and asked me if I knew that dancing could cause a child's spinal cord to be injured. I nodded my head to show that I had heard about it, and at the same time retorted: "So many children learn to dance, aren't they all good?" ”
The neighbor shook his head and told a case from their department: last month, our department received a little girl who suddenly fell to the ground while practicing her lower back. At first, the teacher did not pay attention, and insisted on letting the child practice the arched waist movement, but the child could not make it strong, and finally fell to the ground, tilted his head to the side, and hurt his neck. Then sent to the hospital, the child was paraplegic, and there was no consciousness below the neck...
After listening to the neighbor's story of this case, my mind was blank, and I never thought that dancing would be such a big risk.
"A small percentage of the children injured by dancing in our department were able to get back on their feet after standardized treatment, but most of them were sent to the hospital late and ended up in wheelchairs." The neighbor said solemnly;
Listening to the words of the neighbors, the heart could not be calm for a long time, and I did not dare to imagine how tormented these injured children would be if they sat in wheelchairs all their lives.
02, dancing lower back, split fork may cause damage to the spinal cord
According to relevant statistics: about 34% of children have spinal cord injuries due to dancing.
The reason is that most of them do some difficult actions when dancing, such as forcing children to lower their waists, splitting forks, etc. If the dance teachers of some training institutions are not professional, they cannot correctly distinguish whether the pain caused by normal training or injurious pain when children do these movements. Blindly asking children to break through the limits, or even challenge the limits, will only push the children into the fire pit in the end.
Nini, a 7-year-old girl who lost consciousness in her legs due to dancing, fell down the first time she lowered her waist. She immediately told the teacher that she had back pain and couldn't stand it, and said that she didn't want to practice this action anymore.
But the teacher believes that these movements are all "tongzi gong", and also comforted Nini that "if there is no pain in practicing dance, it will not hurt if you practice a few more times." Later, the teacher asked her to continue practicing, and eventually there was an accident and regret it.
According to Nini's mother, there are many children like Nini who have been injured because of dancing in the country, and she has joined a group of up to 446 spinal cord injuries, of which 80% of the children are caused by dancing injuries.
The parents in the group, the most regretful and self-condemning sentence every day is "Why did you send your children to dance in the first place?" When a child cries out pain in the lower back, why not stop it?"
Lower waist, split fork, sounds natural and simple, in the eyes of many people, children are soft, and dor pull can grow tall. In fact, for children's young spinal cords, these movements are fatal and very dangerous!
According to the upstairs neighbor doctor, although the children have good physical flexibility, but the spine, spinal cord development is not complete, in the lower waist, split the process, if there is no professional teacher on the side of the guidance, it is easy to cause no fracture, no slip type of spinal cord misalignment, resulting in lifelong disability.
03, want the child to dance without injury, do a good job before reporting to class
At present, there are countless dance training classes on the market, and there are 3 around our community. However, the "quality" of these dance classes is uneven, and the level of teachers is also uneven. Therefore, parents must have a deep understanding of the dance class for their children.
First of all, select qualified dance institutions, and before paying the fee, in-depth "investigate" dance institutions to see whether they have obtained relevant qualifications, such as "Business License", "School Running Permit" and so on.
Secondly, to examine the qualifications of teachers, many parents do not have relevant dance expertise, and it is difficult to assess the risk of each dance movement. Therefore, it is necessary to select teachers who have dance qualification certificates and teacher qualification certificates. After all, although some teachers can dance, they do not necessarily have the level of teachers and can teach children well.
It is worth noting that if a dance training institution puts some difficult moves such as lower back and split fork in the first place, or even builds a brand, parents should pay attention. At the same time, you can also consult the parents of the students in the dance class, learn about the teacher's usual teaching situation, and see if they will often ask the child to do some difficult moves.
The essence of children learning dance is to move closer to beautiful art, not to go down to the waist and split the fork every day. In addition, 6-12 years old is an important stage in the development of children's physical bones, and if you do these difficult movements for a long time, it is likely to cause damage to the body.
