أفضل الطرق لحماية الأطفال من المشكلات النفسية

حماية الاطفال من المشاكل النفسيه

الطفل كائن رقيق سهل التشكيل وسهل التأثر بما يدور حوله ومن هنا تكون مسئولية

الاباء والامهات كبيرة في تنشئة الطفل وتوجيهه …. اما الي الطريق السليم فينشأ

شابا علي نهج سليم بعيدا عن الاضطراب والمشاكل النفسية … واما ان ينشأ مليئا

بالعقد النفسية التي تؤدي به الي الجنوح اوالمرض النفسي.لذلك يجب ان نضع في

الاعتبار الاسباب التي تؤدي الي المشاكل النفسية للطفل ونتجنبها

حتي ننعم بأطفال

يتمتعون بصحة نفسية جيدة.

يتعذر على الأهل، في معظم الأحيان، اكتشاف ما لدى أطفالهم من أعراض تنم عن

*اصابتهم ،بأمراض نفسية. نتيجة لذلك، فقد يبقى الطفل من دون علاج يريحه ويحسن***

حالته ويجعله عضوا منتجا في المجتمع.

وتعود معرفة ما إن كان الطفل مصابا بمرض نفسي أم لا إلى من حوله من البالغين.

فإن كانوا مثقفين حول الأعراض والعلامات التي تدل على ذلك، فهم حتما سيساعدونه

على تخطيه، إلا أن معظم الأهل لا يعلمون علامات وأعراض هذه الأمراض لدى

الأطفال. كما أن بعض الأهالي لا يستطيعون التفرقة بين الإشارات الواضحة لوجود

اضطراب نفسي لدى أطفالهم وبين السلوكات الطبيعية للأطفال. وذلك فضلا عن أنهم

قد يظنون أن أي طفل سيقوم بهذه السلوكات في وقت ما من طفولته.

ومن الجدير بالذكر أن الحالات والأمراض النفسية التي قد تصيب الأطفال تتضمن ما يلي:

• اضطرابات القلق، فالأطفال المصابون بهذه الاضطرابات، سواء أكانت على شكل

اضطراب الوسواس القهري أو اضطراب ما بعد الصدمة أو الرهاب الاجتماعي أو

اضطراب القلق العام أو غيرها، يكون الشعور بالقلق معيقا لهم عن أداء نشاطاتهم

وواجباتهم اليومية.

• اضطراب نقص الانتباه وفرط الحركة، والذي عادة ما يكون مرتبطا بجهات مختلفة

من سلوك الطفل، منها صعوبة المحافظة على الانتباه، فضلا عن فرط الحركة

والسلوك الاندفاعي.

• التوحد، والذي يقع ضمن مجموعة من الاضطرابات التي تحمل اسم اضطرابات

الطيف التوحدي autism spectrum disorders والتي تظهر خلال مرحلة

الطفولة المبكرة، حيث إنها عادة ما تظهر على الطفل قبل إتمامه لعامه الثالث. ورغم

أن الأعراض تختلف في شدتها بين مصاب لآخر، إلا أن ما يجمع بين كل المصابين

هو التأثر السلبي على قدرتهم على التواصل والتفاعل مع الآخرين.

• اضطرابات الأكل، والتي تتضمن النهام العصابي bulimia nervosa

واضطراب نوبات الدَّقَـر، أي ما يسمى أيضا باضطراب الأكل الشره. وتؤدي هذه

الاضطرابات إلى أن يكون تفكير الطفل المصاب منصبا على وزنه وما يتناوله من

طعام أكثر من أي شيء آخر.

• اضطرابات المزاج، والتي تتضمن الاكتئاب والاضطراب ثنائي القطب.

• الفصام، والذي يفقد الطفل القدرة على التواصل مع الواقع.

أما عن الأعراض والعلامات التي تشير إلى أن الطفل قد يكون مصابا بمرض نفسي،

فهي تتضمن ما يلي:

• التغيرات المزاجية، فعلى الأهل الانتباه لمشاعر طفلهم، منها الكآبة والانسحابية،

خصوصا إن استمرت لأسبوعين على الأقل. كما ويجب الانتباه إلى إصابته بتقلبات

مزاجية، خصوصا إن تسببت تلك التقلبات بمشاكل في علاقاته ودراسته.

• المشاعر القوية أو المكثفة، فعلى الأهل الانتباه لوجود مشاعر قوية لدى طفلهم، منها

الخوف الشديد الذي قد يتصاحب مع تسارع في ضربات القلب والتنفس، أو القلق

الشديد، ما يتعارض مع مسيرة الطفل الحياتية.

• التغيرات السلوكية، ويتضمن ذلك حدوث تغيرات قوية في سلوكات الطفل

وشخصيته. ويشمل ذلك قيامه بسلوكات خطرة خارج نطاق السيطرة. كما أن كثرة

التورط بالمشاجرات والرغبة في إيذاء الآخرين تقعان ضمن هذا الإطار.

• صعوبة التركيز، فعلى الأهل الانتباه إلى ما قد يظهر على طفلهم من علامات تشير

إلى كونه يجد صعوبة في التركيز وصعوبة في البقاء في مكان واحد. ويجدر بالذكر أن

هاتين العلامتين تؤثران سلبا على الأداء الدراسي للطفل.

• الفقدان غير المبرر للوزن، فإن ذلك، فضلا عن فقدان الشهية وتكرار التقيؤ، يدلان

عن احتمالية كون الطفل مصابا باضطراب في الأكل.

• إيذاء النفس، فحتى الأطفال قد يقومون بإيذاء أنفسهم أو حتى ينتحرون، أو قد يفكرون

أو يحاولون القيام بذينك الأمرين.

• سوء استخدام الأدوية، فإن ظهر على الطفل عرض أو أكثر مما ذكر، أو كان الأهل

غير مطمئنين بشأن صحة طفلهم النفسية لأي سبب آخر، استوجب عليهم عرضه على

الطبيب وإطلاعه على تلك الأعراض وما لديهم من مخاوف. كما يجب عليهم النقاش

مع مدرسيه والاستفسار منهم حول سلوكه في المدرسة ومن ثم إطلاع طبيبه على

انطباعاتهم.وفي حالة ظهور أن الطفل مصاب بالفعل بمرض نفسي ما أو كان لديه

اضطراب سلوكي ما، فعندها سيقوم الطبيب أو الاختصاصي النفسي بالبدء بعلاجه.

وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن التدخل الطبي السريع يساعد على الشفاء من أي مرض أو

اضطراب، سواء أكان نفسيا أوغير ذلك.

أما عن الأساليب العلاجية للأمراض النفسية لدى الأطفال، فإنها تتضمن

الأسلوبين التاليين:

• العلاج النفسي، أي ما يسمى أيضا بالعلاج بالتحدث والعلاج السلوكي، والذي يمرن

الطفل على تبني سلوكات إيجابية للسيطرة على ما لديه من مشاكل نفسية. ويختلف

الأسلوب الذي يجرى به ذلك بناء على عوامل عديدة، منها سن الطفل ومدى قدرته

على الاستيعاب.

• العلاج الدوائي، فالطبيب النفسي قد يقوم بإعطاء الطفل أدوية معينة، منها الأدوية

المنشطة والأدوية المضادة للاكتئاب والأدوية المضادة للقلق والأدوية المضادة للذهان.

كما أن بعض الأطفال قد يستفيدون من الخلط بين الأسلوبين العلاجيين.

وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن الطفل يكون في أشد الحاجة إلى دعم العائلة عندما يكون مصابا

باضطرابات نفسية. لذلك، ينصح الوالدان بالاستفسار من الطبيب أو الاختصاصي

النفسي حول ما يمكن عمله لدعم الطفل المصاب وتحسين حالته. ويتضمن ما يمكن

فعله لدعم الطفل ومساعدته بما يتعلق بدراسته ما يلي:

• قضاء الأوقات السعيدة مع الطفل عبر اللعب معه وممارسة النشاطات الأخرى التي

يحبها.

• مدح ما يقوم به من إنجازات وما لديه من مهارات، وذلك مهما كانت صغيرة.

• تعلم أساليب الاسترخاء والسيطرة على الضغوطات النفسية للتمكن من الاستجابة

للسلوكات المضطربة لدى الطفل.

• إعلام مدرسيه حول حالته ليتمكنوا من التواصل معه أو تحويله لمدرسة خاصة إن

اقتضى الأمر.

ومن الجدير بالذكر أن البعض يرفضون عرض أطفالهم، أو حتى أنفسهم، على طبيب

نفسي خوفا مما يحيط بهذه الأمراض من "عار" إلا أن ذلك لا يؤدي إلا إلى تفاقم

الحالة وزيادة إمكانية علاجها صعوبة.

Great poem for kids

Riddle© Chazz

Who am I?

I am a surprise

I don't have eyes

I'm wrapped in plastic

I am fantastic

I could be red

But I'm not dead

I could be blue

Bluer than you

I could be pink

But I don't think

Make up your mind

I'm not hard to find

You could me in a Milk Bar

Or eat me in the car

I do not walk

I do not talk

But most of all I don't taste like pork

I am not shy

I do not cry

I will never let out a wimpy sigh

I find myself covered in spit

Then fall into a bottomless pit

Serena Williams likes my taste

But doesn't like tomato paste

Do not be scared of me

All I want to be is free

I am very nice

I don't taste like rice

You can't cut me into a slice

I'm filled with sugar

But don't think I'm a booger

Do not fear

I don't taste like beer

But when I'm around everyone will cheer

People will stop

When they see me in the shop

You'll buy me five times over

Like I'm a four leaf clover

People say I rock

But I don't smell like a sock

You might say I'm food

But I'm never in a bad mood

I might ask Sam

Who I am

He might say "What?"

And tell me who I'm not.

Best & Famous Children Poem

Sick

By Shel Silverstein

“I cannot go to school today,"

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

“I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,

I’m going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox

And there’s one more--that’s seventeen,

And don’t you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--

It might be instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I’m sure that my left leg is broke--

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button’s caving in,

My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,

My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb.

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?

What’s that? What’s that you say?

You say today is. . .Saturday?

G’bye, I’m going out to play!”

Rules for a healthy lifestyle for children

noreply@blogger.com (kids) — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 01:48:00 -1000

Rules for a healthy lifestyle for children

A healthy lifestyle is one which helps to keep and improve people's

health and well-being. .. Healthy living is a lifelong effect. The

ways to being healthy include healthy eating, physical activities,

weight management, and stress management.

Millions of people follow an unhealthy lifestyle. Hence, they

encounter illness, disability and even death. Problems like

metabolic diseases, joint and skeletal problems, cardio-vascular

diseases, hypertension, overweight, violence and so on, can be

caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. The relationship of lifestyle and

health should be highly considered.

Healthy Choices Start With PARENTS!

➤Teach your children that good health depends on the right balance

between what they eat and how much they move.

➤Help your children develop healthy eating habits at an early age.

Nutritious food is something to enjoy. It helps children grow STRONG

and gives them energy.

➤Parents have the power to set examples. Make healthy eating and

daily physical activity fun, to help children learn good habits to

last a lifetime. This brochure provides some tips on how you can

promote healthy eating habits and encourage active lifestyles in

your family.

How can KIDS live a healthy lifestyle?

➤ Switch off the screen and get active

Children and young people should spend no more than two hours a day

on ‘small screen’ entertainment. Break up long periods of use as

often as possible.

➤NUTRITION

The specific nutritional choices you and your youngster make are

crucial, Good nutrition is essential to good health and the AMERICAN

Academy of Pediatrics encourages parents to think of their

nutritional decisions as health decisions.

➤ACTIVE EACH DAY

Regular physical activity is important for the healthy growth,

development and well-being of children and young people.

Parents should be good role models and have a positive attitude to

being active.

➤ FITNESS

There's no scarcity of activities that you can make available to

your child, and all kids can find some form of exercise that they

enjoy. If you can get your child interested in an activity like this

when he's young, exercise and fitness are more likely to become a

habit that lasts for many decades.

➤ EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

Aim to eat two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables every

day.

Eating fruit and vegetables every day helps children grow and

develop, boosts their vitality and can reduce the risk of many

chronic diseases.

➤ SPORTS

Youngsters develop sports skills in a sequence, so each sequence

should be maxed out for that child. If each developmental stage is

fully formed, your active child has the ability to more completely

reach her maximum capacity for participation in sports.

➤WATER

Water is the best way to quench your thirst – and it doesn’t come

with the added sugar found in fruit juices, soft drinks and other

sweetened drinks.

➤EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

Children need to realize that the world is a better place because

they are in it.Understanding the importance of personal CONTRIBUTION

can serve as a source of purpose and motivation.

THE INCREDIBLES (kids movie)

noreply@blogger.com (kids) — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 22:35:00 -1000

THE INCREDIBLES (kids movie)

kids movie

The story follows the universal fondness for finding the chinks in superhero

armor; if Superman hadn't had kryptonite, he would have been perfect, and

therefore boring, and all the superheroes since him have spent most of their

time compensating for weaknesses. Think about it: Every story begins with a

superhero who is invincible, but who soon faces total defeat.

Mr. Incredible, the hero of "The Incredibles," is a superhero in the traditional

1950s mold, dashing about town fighting crime and saving the lives of

endangered civilians. Alas, the populace is not unanimously grateful, and he's

faced with so many lawsuits for unlawful rescue and inadvertent side-effects

that he's forced to retire. Under the government's Superhero Relocation

Program, Mr. Incredible (voice by Craig T. Nelson) moves to the suburbs,

joined by his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and their children Violet (Sarah

Vowell), Dashiell (Spencer Fox) and little Jack Jack (Eli Fucile, Maeve

Andrews).

Sports activities & games for kids are a source of developing all

pervasive skills needed to support them in a lifetime. There is a

growing need for kids to be involved in physical activity today to

counter the effects of technology that has pervaded into their lives

with some disastrous consequences. Take a look at the top outdoor

sports games for kids to maximize their potential and help them lead a

healthy lifestyle.

The best sports for kids are fun, teach children about teamwork and

help keep them in shape. These sports are good for younger children

as they contain less contact than sports like football, hockey or

wrestling. While there is some tisk for injury in all activities,

these sports are the safer choices for children.

Aside from being fun things to spend their time on, these sports

are all good for teaching children a number of values like working

with others, responsibility and social skills. Plus, kids who play

sports are usually healthier and generally have more friends than

those who don't.

Tips for Nurturing Curiosity (why,why,why,........) part1

noreply@blogger.com (kids) — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 09:00:00 -1000

Tips for Nurturing Curiosity (why,why,why,........) part 1

Babies are born learners with a natural curiosity to figure out

how the world works. Curiosity is the desire to learn. It is an

eagerness to explore, discover and figure things out. Parents and

caregivers don't have to make their children curious or push

their children to learn.

DO you have any idea

how many questions does a kid ask a day?

kids,kid,child,children

first you should know that The more curious

a child is, the more he learns.

Nurturing your child’s curiosity is one of

the most important ways you can help her/him

become a lifelong learner.

Tips for Nurturing Curiosity

Try to figure out what is capturing her/his interest, or what skill she/he is

trying to master and create a safe and acceptable way for her/him to

explore. For example, if your toddler is exploring the houseplants, put

them out of reach but offer a close alternative. Put some dirt in a plastic

container for your child to play with and inspect. If she/he likes to pour

the water from her cup onto the high chair or floor, move her to the

kitchen floor, bathtub or backyard after the meal so she/he can explore

and

experiment with water without driving you crazy. This will also teach

children problem-solving skills, creative and acceptable ways to do and

get what they want.

acknowledge the questions asked by your child . even if you can't attend

to it immediately,give them positive response e.g. "that's really

intersting, but mummy is busy right now . let's write it down and we will

find out tonight.

start nurturing your child's curiosity at a very young ag (even when they

are babies ).

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more

Fitness & Sports for your kids

For many kids, traditional team sports mean a lot of

coaching, rules, pressure, and competition. It's easy to

see why some kids are attracted to the individuality and

athletic self-expression that are the hallmarks of

extreme sports.

Kids this age need physical activity to build strength,

coordination, and confidence — and to lay the groundwork

for a healthy lifestyle. They're also gaining more

control over how active they are.

Do it at Home

Many parents and kids think of organized sports when they think of fitness. Though there are many

advantages to signing a child up for the softball team, practice and games once or twice a week will not

be enough to reach activity goals. Also, parents can no longer rely on physical education in schools to

provide enough physical activity for kids.

Here are some ways to keep your kids moving at home:

⏩Make physical activity part of the daily routine. From household chores to an after-dinner walk, keep your family active every day.

⏩Allow enough time for free play. Kids can burn more calories and have more fun when left to their own devices. Playing tag, riding bikes around the neighborhood, and building snowmen are fun and healthy.

⏩Keep a variety of games and sports equipment on hand. It doesn't have to be expensive — an assortment of balls, hula-hoops, and jump ropes can keep kids busy for hours.

⏩Be active together. It'll get you moving, and kids love to play with their parents.

⏩Limit time spent in sedentary activities, such as watching TV, being online, and playing video games and games apps.

If you run out of possibilities at home, take advantage of local playgrounds and athletic fields. Make family fitness outings part of your regular routine. Let family members choose an activity — go hiking, ice skating, or try out the rock-climbing gym. Anything goes, as long as everyone can participate.

And remember: You'll help show your kids that exercise is important by regularly exercising yourself.

learn your kids that:

the only bad workout is the one that didn't happen.

Choosing the best pets for kids

noreply@blogger.com (kids) — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 12:22:00 -1000

Choosing the best pets for kids

Owning a pet can be a rewarding experience for a child. A well-chosen pet can bring years of joy.Pet ownership can also be a chance for kids to learn valuable life lessons as they care for a living creature. Pets can teach children about responsibility and dependability with adult guidance. As an added bonus, some pets give affection in return for a child’s loving attention.

1. Fish

kids

A fish may be the perfect “starter” pet for a child. But not just any fish will do. Goldfish may seem like the most obvious choice, but they’re actually more difficult to raise than the Siamese fighting fish (Betta fish)

2. Reptiles

kids

The appeal of cold-blooded creatures may be less obvious than that of warm, fuzzy animals, but certain reptiles make prized pets. Tortoises, such as the plant-eating Russian tortoise, can live more than 50 years. Some snake species also make excellent pets, although constrictors should be avoided.

3. Birds

kids

Birds can be excellent pets. But owning a bird is more demanding than caring for a tortoise or fish. Some birds are highly intelligent. Others are very social. All birds require almost daily attention.

4. Rodents

kids

Smaller mammals, including hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils, are relatively easy to raise. Also, most will thrive in a relatively small living space, and care is fairly straightforward.

Except for hamsters, which are solitary, it’s best to obtain young same-sex pairs. Regular, gentle handling promotes friendliness. But be mindful that bites are possible should rodents — especially hamsters — feel threatened.

Surprisingly, rats make excellent pets due to their intelligence, larger size, and enjoyment of human companionship. Guinea pigs are also good kid-friendly pets

5. Cats

kids

Kittens are childhood favorites. Who can resist the antics of a fluffy feline?

Notoriously independent cats need somewhat less care and attention than dogs, but no less commitment. Like dogs, cats require regular veterinary checkups and immunizations.

It’s important to choose a cat that’s suitable to be around children. A cat may be a better choice than a dog if your family has limited living space.

6. Dogs

kids

A cuddly puppy is probably the most classic children’s pet. But choosing the ideal dog involves more than falling for big brown eyes. Some dogs may be unsuitable for children. Before adopting a dog, ensure that the dog is well-socialized and comfortable around children.

Any breed will need a significant commitment of time and effort. Puppies must be housebroken and require daily exercise, regular veterinary checkups and immunizations, and plenty of love. Every dog is different, but kid-friendly breeds include:

Labrador retrievers
golden retrievers
boxers
beagles

7. Insects and arthropods

kids

Six-legged creatures might not be the first to come to mind when thinking of pets for children. But owning an ant farm can be an entertaining and educational experience for a child. Various suppliers sell habitats designed to let children directly observe ant activities. Ants can be shipped live or grown from eggs.

Hermit crabs are another example of creepy crawlies that are easily raised in captivity.

8. Brine shrimp

kids

Better known as “sea monkeys,” these tiny crustaceans are essentially foolproof starter pets that even small children can enjoy. They’re available in kits. Children need only add water and watch these tiny live shrimp emerge, become active, and grow.

Maintenance for these hardy creatures involves adding feed about once a week and occasionally adding water to combat evaporation. A colony can thrive for a year or more with minimal care.

Caring for a pet

Caring for a pet can be a positive experience for children. Pets can provide companionship, entertainment, and educational opportunities. But pet ownership is also serious business. Pets are living creatures that require regular care and attention. Their maintenance involves an ongoing financial commitment.

Pets are capable of providing useful lessons about self-restraint, selflessness, and responsibility. Children may require adult supervision when interacting with some pets.

➤Everywhere around them, particularly in the comfort of their own homes, there are many dangers - seen and unseen.
➤It is our responsibility as parents and guardians to make sure our children's world is as safe as possible so that their exploration is injury-free and fun.

⏩Important Child Safety Tips for Parents of Younger Children

Kids are known to be pi

Kids are known to be picky eaters, making kids eat what is healthy and

help them stay active is a difficult task altogether. kids often develop a

natural preference for food they enjoy eating the most. So, the challenge is

to make healthy choices appealing. No matter how good your intentions are

it is always going to be difficult for you to convince your kid that fruits

are as sweet as blueberry cheesecake.

Healthy Food For Kids

Tips on what to feed kids:

Check out these ideas on how to encourage kids to eat healthy foods.

⏩Offer whole fruit and vegetables more often than juice. They have more fibre.

⏩Offer 500 mL (2 cups) of milk (skim, 1% or 2%) or fortified soy beverage every day,

both unsweetened. This will help kids meet their calcium and vitamin D needs to

build strong bones.

⏩Limit foods and drinks high in calories, fat, sugar or salt, like:

chips

cookies

soft drinks

⏩Drink water regularly. Encourage your kids to drink water when they are thirsty to get

enough fluids throughout the day.

spinach in spaghetti sauce

cauliflower in mashed potatoes

zucchini or carrot in lower fat muffins

yellow squash in macaroni and cheese

⏩Offer small amounts of food throughout the day by dividing Food Guide

servings into kid-friendly portions. This is because young children have small

stomachs that get full quickly.

➤For example, serve 1 Food Guide serving of meat and alternatives at 2 different meals, like:

an egg at lunch

about 35 g of chicken for dinnr
