Chocolate always been thought to make people happy, because it contains tryptophan, helps synthesis of serotonin, stable mood. But British scientists recently released a study has indicated that it may be the source of violence against children.

According to “News Agency” report, the British scientists for more than 17 000 children born in the 1970s to track the results of the investigation 40 years after that before the age of 10 eat sweets or chocolate every day for children to 34 years old, 69% had one arrested for committing violent crimes.

British scientists noted that the results of this study does not mean that chocolate is not good, but how to take decisions for the child more than one kind of psychological interpretation.

Fellow Moore (Simon Moore) said that the practice of using sweets and chocolate, “buy” their children so that they behave a bit of the parents may be counterproductive, because it may allow their children to satisfy do not know how to learn, then develop impulsive and violent character.

However, Moore also stressed that the findings are not sufficient for academic suggested that parents stop buying sweets and chocolate to the children because the children’s area is extremely complex and can not simply blame the violent sweet.

What the children to choose a kindergarten, is a lot of mother’s confusion. Experts suggest that children should be the starting point, the right is the best.

Mom’s Dilemma: I was elected to his son kindergarten, still can not decide: one is from my more recent units kindergarten, is not only bilingual, and there are paintings and other characteristics, said that the quality of education is not bad. However, venues small and relatively far away from home. The other is the cell where the kindergarten, close to home, the venue but also a bit more, but he’s no character in the end I choose one of the do? People say, can not let the children lose at the starting line, my decision today, at least three or four years will affect the lives of their children’s future status, I am worried … … we all know, the factors that influence the choice of kindergartens, there may be numerous, but ultimately play a decisive role merely one or two. In selecting the children kindergarten, first of all need to ask themselves, do I need to kindergarten? Usually the quality of education and activities of the kindergarten places there are no major relationship. Kindergarten would be a good atmosphere of culture, I suggest you come to the kindergarten classroom, or go take a look. If the classroom facilities for low, easy to put child care items, the surrounding environment, while not perfect, but the child’s work displayed everywhere, then in relation to select it. In addition, there are some options can not be neglected.

Is not very far away from home Although it can not absolutely say, “far from kindergarten undesirable”, but the distance really is not neglected. If you spend a day on the road three hours, then, let the child sleep the morning more than 1 hour, and after school activities, games to play more in 1 hour. The newly recruited young children to the children choose what kind of kindergarten, many mother’s confusion. Experts suggest that children should be the starting point, the right is the best. Park, children, always occur one way or another problem. Once a child in kindergarten illness or other emergency situations arise, if so close to home, family members will be able to arrive as soon as possible.

The quality of teachers is high in general, the quality of teachers consists of two components: First, the relevant professional standards, and then one of love, both of which are indispensable. Professional standards and educational philosophy is usually reflected in the principal of the main body, and love through with a class teacher to convey. The two men than the standard kindergarten reputation pomp and hardware facilities for children, much more important.

In the field observations, we can take a look at the exchange of teachers and their children, whether to head-up the child’s eyes; teachers in the organization of courses or a game, whether received in accordance with the rhythm of a child; outdoor activities, the teacher whether the children scattered in the middle, so that timely to take care of their children; also be carefully observed the teacher whether the children’s behavior had brought a knowing smile.

Safety and health could focus on the observation of the kindergarten kitchen and toilets, study of their health status; attention to its stairs and corners, if there Zhuojiao protect the child measures, in order to determine the situation. Often occurs if a kindergarten child health and safety concerning the incident, it is best not there left to chance. In particular, activity facilities, such as slides, jungle gym and whether the clean, solid; or corridor turns, etc. if there are appropriate measures of protection.

Word of mouth from parents on how parents view their children in the garden is very important to obtain from them an open day or interview one or two can not get information. But do not listen to broad, sweeping statement to say, whether positive or negative assessment of context and detail must be asked as far as possible clues. Good nursery should have clear, written rules and regulations, from the staff discipline to deal with unexpected events, from the security system to the children leave the system should have the relevant processes. In particular, pay attention to kindergarten if the parents provide a relatively smooth and the principal of the exchange channel, there is an emergency occurs, can be found directly responsible for the teacher smoothly.

Speaking of children myopia, most people will only be attributed to too dark or too light, or watching television, playing electronic games, reading and writing posture is not correct and so on, but the scientist’s latest research shows that improper food three meals a day, but also a non – ignored. To prevent a child from premature wear glasses, in addition to the rich supply of protein and vitamins other than the following types of food is not lacking.

Calcium food

Calcium is also rather we are more familiar with the importance of a mineral element, but we know it is still focused on enhancing bone development, to prevent children from rickets, etc., it is rarely linked with the development of the eye, but medical experts have pointed out that the Calcium deficiency is caused by dysplasia as well as the formation of short-sighted vision of the important reasons. The scientific basis for that is: the eye like a small plastic bag filled with clean water, if the lack of calcium, its hydraulic will be fluctuated, can not maintain a normal state, the situation is like a light bulb being lit, it is easy to fluctuated as a low-voltage burn. Without the eye of the calcium and make the formation of developmental abnormalities and short-sighted.

Calcium-containing foods: milk, soy, fish, animal bones, but also note that with animal liver, egg yolk, green vegetables and other foods rich in vitamin D to increase calcium absorption and utilization.

Chromium-containing foods

Chromium is an essential mineral elements in the human body in the eye development is the role of osmotic pressure to maintain a balance, otherwise changes may lead to bulge convex lens, resulting in increased eye diopter, and to become nearsighted. According to expert estimates, children’s day, about 50-200 micrograms of chromium.

Chromium-containing foods are: cereals, meat, cheese and egg yolk, etc., should give their children the arrangements.

Hard Food

Often the children eat a certain hardness of food, increase the frequency and intensity of Tsui difficult could promote children’s development vision, the Japanese professor named Funakoshi have done a special survey data show that a class of pap eat spaghetti Children rarely use the chin part of the masseter muscle, which is caused by abnormal visual acuity is an important source of trouble, the Japanese Akita University School of Medicine Teaching and Research Section of Health Science Associate Professor Shimada, a study shows that eat the soft food without Tsui struggling students in a particularly large number of people with poor eyesight; while those who eat the hard food, very few people with poor eyesight. This is because the nozzle can increase the difficulty of the facial muscles, including eye muscle strength, so that it has a strong ability to adjust the lens to avoid the occurrence of myopia.

More suitable for children hard foods are: carrots, fruit, cabbage, animal bones, beans and so on. These foods are rich in nutrients they both struggled resistance, especially worth recommending.

As the saying goes, “ingenuity”, dexterous hands of a person’s well-developed brain, one of the symbols. Children in the process to explore the world through their own efforts are always trying to satisfy their own curiosity, for example, children see the flowers is very beautiful, he will work hard to bring a small arm out Quzhainaduo flowers, this is the basic child practical ability.
Hands-on work is the basis for a child to grow, but also a prerequisite for intellectual development of children. 3-year-old child in the act before the sensitive period, parents must seize this critical period, according to the child’s stage of development to allow more children hands-on work. The child can be more hands-on training their children and accuracy of movement coordination, athletic ability and the promotion of the child thinking development; let children help their parents to do some more hands-on things within its power, you can also let children experience their parents is not easy to know how to honor their parents . What parents should let children play in the process enhance the hands-on capacity?
In fact, this is not difficult, the parents would not always do it to encourage children to yourself, life’s practical ability to raise a child There are many ways.

But their hands and feet of the coordination is not perfect, Zuoqishilai often “clumsy” Parents Do not trouble or cumbersome because of suspected child be deprived of opportunities for children to learn work, parents can patiently repeated their children to do demonstrations Children at the mercy imitation, eventually they never skilled to skilled and finally ease of use. Can teach their children themselves gradually learn to tie your shoes, undress, put bedding, pick up his room, wash a few simple things, and so on.
Kindergarten PTA meetings, the teacher deliberately to the child’s parents had arranged a family business – teaching children skin peeling eggs. One mother whispered in the following saying: “It’s more difficult for children ah, my family did not know his son does look like an egg!” Teachers find it very strange that children are so big, how could you not know what an egg looks like it, who Mom went on to say: “I always fear boiled egg yolk would choke a child, and now has also been to him only to eat chicken Dangeng.” presence of teachers and parents were all shocked.
The mother really love their children, in everyday life, taking on everything, nothing can be good for their children, children in kindergarten had never seen even like eggs. This love the ability to destroy a child’s hands and eventually will lead to the child nothing.
2. Encourage your child within its power to help others
Family life is a kind of collective life, can also be seen as a microcosm of society, parents should guide their children to do something more for their parents, which can be of some small things, such as sweeping, wiping tables, washing bowls and chopsticks, etc., from small training the sake of the child’s awareness of others.
3. Parents should be good praise a child
When the children to do it, or done a good job, parents should immediately praise and encouragement, to mobilize the enthusiasm of a child and enhance children’s self-esteem and confidence. Try not to praise this kind in the form of, for example to the children to buy toys, buy delicious things and so on, because it so easy to stimulate the child’s vanity, over time, it will hinder a child’s healthy development.
In short, everywhere have a chance in life, the child born is a genius, as long as there is enough room, they can play out endless pattern.
