Have you ever encountered such a situation: the child has a fever, but you don't want him to take leave, for fear that he will fall behind his classmates, so you give him antipyretic medicine and insist on letting him go to school?Do you think it's the right thing to do?Do you know what the consequences of doing so may be for your child?
According to reports, Li Zhifei, director of the Department of Pediatrics of the Bund Campus of the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University, said that in the outpatient clinic, there are many parents who are reluctant to delay their children's homework, especially those in the upper grades of primary school and junior high school, who are afraid that their children will fall behind in their homework. Some of them had a fever of more than 39, and their parents also said that they would go back to class after taking some fever-reducing medicine. There are many such cases.
Fever is a common symptom, but that doesn't mean it can be ignored. Fever is a defensive response of the body to pathogens and is a mechanism for self-protection. However, if the fever is too high or lasts too long, it can cause damage to the human body and even be life-threatening. Fever causes the body's metabolic rate to increase, consuming more energy and water, causing dehydration and malnutrition.
Fever can also affect the body's nervous system, causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, convulsions, etc. Fever can also affect the body's cardiovascular system, leading to symptoms such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and arrhythmias. Fever can also affect the body's respiratory system, causing symptoms such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, etc. Fever can also affect the body's immune system, leading to symptoms such as a decrease in white blood cells, decreased resistance, and an increased risk of infection.
Therefore, fever is not a trivial matter, do not take the child's body lightly. If the child has a fever, you should seek medical attention in time, find out the cause of the fever, and take reasonable measures to let the child recover as soon as possible. Do not blindly give your child fever-reducing medicine, let alone let your child go to school with a fever, this will not only delay the illness, but also increase the possibility of infection, which is irresponsible behavior for children and others.
This view of education will make children lose the joy of learning Xi, and become tired of learning and resistant. Children will feel that learning Xi is a burden, a chore, and a boring mechanical repetition. Children will lack initiative and enthusiasm, will only passively cope with exams, will not actively explore knowledge, and will not actively participate in activities.
Children will lose their enthusiasm and confidence in learning Xi and become anxious and depressed. Children will worry that their scores are not enough, that they are not capable enough, that their future is uncertain, and that they are not worth much.
Secondly, it will make the child lose the balance of growth and become single and biased. Children will think that learning Xi is reading, reading is memorizing, and memorizing is taking exams. Children will neglect other aspects of development, such as physical, emotional, social, moral, etc.
Children will lack exercise and rest, leading to weakness and illness. Children will lack expression and communication, leading to emotional withdrawal and interpersonal estrangement. Children will lack cooperation and competition, leading to low social skills and adaptability. Children will lack judgment and choice, leading to confusion in morals and values.
Therefore, children's growth is not just about learning Xi, don't pursue scores too much. We should give children a comprehensive and balanced education, so that children can develop in all aspects, let children find their own interests and directions in the Xi, let children cultivate their abilities and qualities in the Xi, and let children realize their own values and dreams in the Xi.
Parents should pay attention to their children's physical health, and fever is a self-protection mechanism that should not be taken lightly. While pursuing grades, we should also pay attention to cultivating children's all-round development, so that they can find interests and directions in their academic Xi. Excessive pursuit of grades can lead to physical and mental health problems in children, and make them lose the joy of learning Xi. Parents should establish a correct concept of education, pay attention to their children's physical and mental health, and create an environment for them to grow up in an all-round way. life
