Air conditioning is the achievement of civilization, allowing a person to adapt to heat.
We gave birth to children in those times, when the whole life of our children will be accompanied by air conditioning. Our children will have to put up with air conditioning. Modern fathers and mothers in childhood had no experience of using an air conditioner.
We go for advice to the older generation. But our grandparents do not know anything about air conditioning and its influence on children because in their time there was nothing like this. Grandmothers believe that the air conditioner causes a draft and torments the children. In this post I will try to tell you how to properly use the air conditioner, what are its minuses and dangers.
The main rule of using the air conditioner - when you go into the room, you should not be cold. You should be fine, not hot. The task of the air conditioner is to make sure that it is not hot and there is not a sharp temperature drop.
It is necessary to understand that if from childhood we will acquaint children with the achievements of civilization, then it will be easier for them to live in these conditions.
A fundamental feature of a child's organism is that a child can adapt to the conditions in which he has fallen. And the younger the child, the greater the ability to adapt. If we brought a child from the hospital, the room temperature is +24, dry, perfect purity, then the child will live wonderfully. But he will live remarkably only in such conditions. And if we brought the child to such conditions that it's hot, it's cold, there's cleanliness, and there's dirt, then the child adapts to such conditions. If a person has never seen an air conditioner, he went from the street, where 30 degrees into a room, where 18, his blood vessels did not have time to adapt, and naturally a person will fall ill. Therefore, the younger the child, the easier it will be for him to adapt to life in conditioned air.
The younger the child, the more dangerous the heat and overheating. If the mother is hot, the baby is very hot. In young children, much more heat is released, their thermoregulation mechanism is imperfect.
Here are the basic rules of communication with air conditioning:
We introduce the child to the air conditioning when there is a real need for it - heat. The younger the child, the more secure the acquaintance.
We need to do the maintenance of the air conditioner in time, put in good quality filters on time.
Do not direct the jet of air from the air conditioner to the human body. Ensure that the air stream does not reach the baby cot.
Gradually reduce the temperature in the room. If the room temperature is +30, and you put the temperature in the air conditioner at 24, then the air stream will be 15-18 degrees. 24 degrees will be when the temperature in the room drops to 24. Put on the air conditioner first 28, half an hour 26, and then 24 degrees.
It's right when you're not hot. If you are cold, then you put the wrong numbers on the air conditioner.Always monitor the humidity in the room. Normal humidity is 40-70%.
Sometimes it is worth opening the windows in the apartment and providing access to fresh air.
Take into account the individual characteristics of the child. If the child is hardened, the conditioner is safe for him, if you are good, then there is no need for unnecessary restrictions.
When driving in a car with air conditioning, we should also take precautions. Let's say you are traveling with a child to the sea. It's 10-12 hours drive in an air-conditioned car. At the same time, the humidity in the car will be somewhere around 20%. It is necessary to stop periodically, open windows and wind the car. It is necessary to moisten the nasal passages of the child. Every 30 minutes to do wetting with the help of special salt solutions, which can be bought at the pharmacy. Actively give the baby a liquid. Then in the nasal passages and in the auditory tube, mucus will not dry between the ear and nose. And if you do not do this, then the mucus will gather, then you go swimming in the sea, this mucus swells, will be otitis. And this will be the fault of the air conditioner?
With the right approach, the air conditioner will facilitate you and your child's life in the heat without harming one's health.
Hopefully you all know how to treat air conditioning now!
