As parents, you should know the importance of sleep to your child's growth and development.
Sleep is not only essential for growing taller, but poor sleep can also cause children's physical fitness to deteriorate, reduce resistance, and appear easy to catch a cold. Prone to allergies and other manifestations.
In addition, children who do not sleep well can also cause problems such as decreased appetite, childhood obesity, memory loss, and lack of concentration, thereby affecting all aspects of children's growth and life.
Some parents say that their children can sleep for a long time, even up to 9-10 hours, how can they sleep badly?
Parents only care about the length of their children's sleep, but ignore the problem of children's sleep depth. Therefore, when observing children's sleep, we must pay attention to both "quantity" and "quality".
Parents may wish to see if their children have the following "sleeping habits":
1. Restlessness before going to bed, turning over and over is not easy to fall asleep;
2. Turn over a lot after falling asleep, love to sleep on your stomach, sweat;
3. Open your mouth to breathe, snore, grind your teeth, and talk in dreams when sleeping;
4. Sleep until midnight, easy to cry, easy to wake up, sleep restlessly;
5. Don't like to get up in the morning, poor energy during the day, obvious dark circles, etc.
The above items are common "sleep disorders" in children, if your baby has the above performance, it needs to be adjusted in time!
In Chinese medicine, it is said that "yin and yang secret, spiritual even".
Therefore, only by allowing the body to achieve the balance of yin and yang as much as possible will people be in a good state to grow and develop. Day is yang, night is yin, sleep is the best process of yang into yin, calm the mind and invigorate qi.
Sleep disorders will lead to imbalance of yin and yang, causing insufficient yang qi and low positive qi, resulting in reduced physical functions, decreased energy, and developmental delays.
Therefore, if you have symptoms, you should intervene in time to help your child in the best growing season of spring!
My previous patient, Zhang Xiaobao, was 10 years and 11 months old at the time of presentation, with a history of allergic rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy and so on. Its manifestations are:
1. Eat sweets, stool once a day, before drying and after thinning;
2. It is difficult to fall asleep, it takes at least 1 hour to fall asleep every night, coupled with the recent recurrence of old symptoms, nasal congestion is obvious, and it is more difficult to fall asleep;
3. And when sleeping, there is mouth breathing, turning over a lot, easy to wake up, and the energy is almost moving;
4. But he has a big temper and loves to cry; The breasts have been developed for 6 months and sometimes have tenderness;
5. The tip of the tongue is red and a little thorny, less moss.
This child belongs to the type of insufficient spleen and yang and qi imbalance.
Spleen and yang deficiency causes digestion to slow down, so food is not fragrant, do not like to eat; And like sweets, sweets are easy to get wet, wet evil to the spleen and stomach, so it will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, causing its function to decline.
Qi imbalance will cause poor mood, timidity, dry intestines and insufficient motivation, so there will be stool once a day in 3 days, strenuous time, short-temperedness, easy to cry. Sleep at night, while energy decreases during the day and immunity decreases, so rhinitis and adenoid problems recur.
Therefore, when I treated her, I mainly focused on strengthening the spleen and stomach, regulating qi and helping yang.
Use grain and malt to dissipate qi, appetizing and strengthening the spleen;
Strengthen the spleen and lungs with lilies and lotus seeds, nourish the mind and calm the spirit;
moisturize the intestines with cooked land and angelica to laxative, nourish yin and nourish blood;
He also uses keel, oysters to calm the liver and submerged yang, tonify the kidney and calm the spirit.
The combination of various medicines plays the effect of calming the mind and healthy luck.
After taking the drug for 1 week, the child slept steadily, rolled over less, and fell asleep within half an hour. During the day, my energy has improved, and my temper has calmed down a lot.
After taking the drug for 4 weeks, the symptoms stabilized and the height increased by 1cm. Continue to take medication to regulate early development and promote growth.
If you want to grow taller, sleep is very important, parents must not ignore it!
