On a sunny day, we will welcome "June 1st" International Children's Day, which is a grand festival for children! Whether it is school teachers or classmates, they will celebrate Children's Day in their own way. The following is the origin and matters needing attention of Children's Day that I arranged for you, hoping to help you.

The origin of Children's Day

Children's Day, also called "Children's Day on June 1st, is a festival for children all over the world.

In November 1949, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a board meeting in Moscow. China and representatives of various countries angrily exposed the crimes of imperialists and reactionaries of various countries killing and poisoning children. In order to protect children's rights to survival, health care and education in all countries of the world, and to improve children's lives, the meeting decided to take June 1 every year as International Children's Day.

June International Children's Day is a festival for children all over the world, and it is also a day for the world to love peace and fight for children's rights to survival, health and education? In 1925, the International Society for the Promotion of Children's Happiness held its first international conference, and after it published the principles on children's welfare, some countries successively stipulated Children's Day, such as October 31st in the United States and July 1st in the United Kingdom.

After the Second World War, the world economy was depressed, and thousands of workers lost their jobs and lived a cold and hunger life. Children's situation is even worse, and some have contracted infectious diseases and died in batches; Others are forced to be child laborers, tortured and their lives and lives are not guaranteed. In order to fight for the rights of survival, security and education for children all over the world, and to strengthen the friendship among children of all countries, the International Democratic Women's Federation held an executive committee in Moscow in November 1949, and officially decided that June 1 was International Children's Day.

Before that, many countries in the world had Children's Day. In 1925, the International Association for the Promotion of Children's Happiness initiated the establishment of Children's Day. Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries responded positively and successively established their own children's days. The United Kingdom stipulated July 14th as Children's Day and the United States stipulated May 1st as Children's Day. Children's Day in Japan is very special, which is divided into boys' and girls' children's days, boys' children's day on May 5 and girls' children's day on March 3. In 1931, China also stipulated April 4th as China Children's Day.

China's Children's Day, early on April 4th of each year, was established in 1931 at the suggestion of the China Salesian Association. After the founding of New China, the working people became the masters of the country, and the vast number of children also became the small masters of the country. In order to cultivate the internationalist thoughts of the vast number of children, in December 1949, the Special Affairs Council of the Central People's Government issued a general order to abolish the old "4? 4 "Children's Day, with June 1st as the Children's Day in China. Unify with "June 1" International Children's Day. From then on, every year on this day, children all over the country will hold various activities to celebrate their festivals. Many public places of entertainment are specially opened for children free of charge. On this day, all organs, organizations and enterprises also give gifts to the children of their employees and children in kindergartens. This is the happiest day for children.

Precautions for children's diet

1. Pay attention to the ingredients list when buying snacks

Parents should pay attention to the following two issues when buying snacks for their children.

Choose nutritious snacks: Try to choose more natural snacks for your children. Such as yogurt, milk and beef jerky, contain high-quality protein and calcium, which is beneficial to growth and bone and tooth health. Seasonal vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes and apples, are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber to promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. Nuts such as walnuts, peanuts and melon seeds are rich in trace elements.

Pay more attention to nutrition labels and ingredient lists: Anything with words such as red, yellow and blue (such as sunset yellow and bright blue) in the ingredient list is added with artificial pigments. In addition, try not to choose or choose less foods with high sugar and fat content, such as chocolate, ice cream, candy, potato chips and some puffed foods.

2, foreign fast food should also be eaten healthily

KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and other foreign fast food are many children's favorites, so it is not bad to let children have a good time on June 1st. However, eating foreign fast food should also be healthy. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, College of Food Science, China Agricultural University, said in his blog that foreign fast food can't provide enough vegetables, but it provides so many choices with high fat and sugar, so it is generally recommended not to give them to children as much as possible. If you must eat it, you can choose to give up fried foods such as fried chicken wings and French fries, and replace sweet drinks with hot black tea or hot milk that is not sweet. If you can, order a vegetable salad and make up a fruit after dinner. Try to make the nutrition more balanced.

3. "Steaming and stewing" is the first choice for eating a big meal.

On June 1st, it is also a good choice to bring children and the whole family to eat a big meal together. When children eat together, pay attention to the cooking method of the dishes when ordering. Studies have shown that children who often eat out have a higher risk of abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome than those who eat at home. When eating out, you can give your children some dishes cooked by steaming, stewing and boiling, and avoid frying and frying food.

4. Don't fall into the trap of "children only" when buying children's food

Every parent wants to give their children the best things, so the expensive "children only" food has become the first choice of many parents. However, relevant experts said that there is not much difference between the so-called children's food on the market and ordinary products in terms of formula and implementation standards, only the label and price are different, which misled consumers to some extent. Some "children only" add ingredients that are harmful to children's health, and it is best to eat less. For example, "children's milk" adds a variety of additives to cater to children's tastes.
