Regarding diet, no one wants their children to get sick during the Chinese New Year. In order for their children and their families to have a safe New Year, parents must pay attention to their children's diet when taking them to visit relatives and friends.

1. Children eat too much meat, causing food accumulation

How can we live without fish and meat during the Chinese New Year? During the Chinese New Year, every household eats big fish and meat. Sometimes parents will ignore their children's diet, or let their children eat. Children eat too much meat, eat uncontrollably, and feed improperly, causing food to stagnate in the intestines and stomach, causing symptoms.

2. Pay attention to fish bones when children eat fish

Last year during the Chinese New Year, my neighbor in my hometown had a 4-year-old child. Because his mother didn’t see it, he ate a piece of fish and got fish bones. It was stuck in the throat. I tried many folk remedies but could not remove the fish bone or get it out. I finally went to the hospital to get it out because the family's negligence caused the child to suffer a lot. In fact, there are many such situations, but they have not happened to us. Therefore, parents must pay attention to their children's diet when taking their children to dinner.

Suggestions:

Whether during the Chinese New Year or when eating fish, we must be careful not to let our children eat fish bones. Usually we can ensure that we buy a fish bone for our children at home. However, when visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, we cannot guarantee that there will be less fish bones. Therefore, children must pay attention when eating fish. It is really not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

3. Refusal to give your children alcohol

During the Chinese New Year, gatherings of relatives, friends, and family gatherings, it is inevitable that some people will make fun of their children and let them drink alcohol. As everyone knows, such jokes are really It will kill the child. Some parents feel that their relatives and friends are too embarrassed to refuse, so they allow such jokes to continue. In the end, they may hurt their children because of their own face.

Children’s bodies are still immature and their liver’s ability to detoxify is relatively poor. Drinking alcohol may damage the liver, and may even lead to coma and other serious illnesses if the amount is excessive. Drinking by young children can cause greater harm. In severe cases, it can affect brain development and even cause death. Alcoholism is classified into mild, moderate and severe.

Mild alcoholism generally manifests as blushing, talkativeness, and excitement; moderate alcoholism can cause drowsiness; severe alcoholism can lead to coma, brain damage, and even death. The main component of alcohol is ethanol. After entering the human body, it is converted into acetaldehyde by the liver, and then into acetic acid and excreted from the body. Some adults drink well because the enzymes in the body that can break down alcohol are working.

Suggestions:

Take care of your children by yourself, don’t wait until something happens and then regret it, because your face is not as important as your child’s life, so don’t act out of embarrassment. Harm the child. Tell relatives and friends clearly: Don’t make fun of your child’s life.

During the Chinese New Year, snack foods such as candies, nuts, and melon seeds are indispensable. When the family gets together to chat and eat snacks such as candies and nuts, children will inevitably eat some. Parents must be careful not to get stuck in their throats when their children eat these foods.

During the Chinese New Year, adults cannot do without drinking, and children cannot do without drinking. How can family dinners and friends get together without drinks on the table? It’s the Chinese New Year, and everyone wants to be happy together. Therefore, if the children are sometimes a little more indulgent, eat more, and drink more drinks, the adults will just pretend they haven’t seen it and don’t want to spend the Chinese New Year. Such a happy day is not fun for children, so excessive drinking of drinks by children may also lead to physical discomfort.
