預防小孩扁平足 常穿運動鞋及從事戶外活動

預防小孩扁平足 常穿運動鞋及從事戶外活動 很多家長擔心小孩有扁平足，成大醫院表示，目前無任何證據顯示，生理性扁平足會影響生長或脊椎病變，扁平足也會隨著年齡增長而改善，但小孩應多穿運動鞋及從事戶外活動，以減少扁平足的機會。 成大醫院骨科部醫師林啟禎指出，除非是僵硬性扁平足，否則三歲以內小孩生理性扁平足發生率高達百分之六十五，但會隨著年齡增長而改善，十歲左右就會降至百分之十五，美國聖地牙哥兒童醫院研究報告也顯示，不管是否有穿矯正鞋，兒童扁平足改善比例達百分之八十五。 林啟禎表示，生理性扁平足兒童的運動功能較差，且生理性扁平足常會合併X型腿，很多廠商都會以生理性扁平足促銷足弓墊或矯正鞋，價格不低，理由就是扁平足會影響生長或產生脊椎病變，事實上這不是正確的，因目前毫無證據證實這項說法。 林啟禎建議小孩扁平足應先治療可能合併發生的X型腿，小孩也不要太早使用學步機或是跪坐，以免造成X型腿或O型腿。 林啟禎說，小孩應穿較好的鞋子，但不要太硬，最好是籃球鞋，且要有點高筒，且從事戶外活動，例如跑步，以減少扁平足發生的機會。

MOVING FROM CRIB TO BED

MOVING FROM CRIB TO BED The transition from crib to bed is more than just a change in sleeping arrangements – it's a major milestone separating infancy from childhood. How do you know when your little one is ready? There's really no set time for leaving the crib, but most little ones make the move somewhere between the ages of 18 months and 3. If your child has outgrown the crib or is repeatedly trying to climb over the sides, it's time for a bed. Another good reason for the switch is to facilitate bathroom trips once potty training begins. Perhaps the most common motivation is the imminent arrival of a new sibling. In that case, it's best to make the change a few months ahead of time, so your toddler doesn't feel displaced by the new baby. Whenever you decide to make the move, providing a bed that's as comforting as it is comfortable will keep your child safe and ease the transition for everyone. Here are some tips on how to do it: A twin bed can seem large after a crib, so pile blankets or stuffed animals at either end to make it cozier (Some parents prefer to start with a toddler bed, which is slightly smaller than a twin.) Place the bed against a wall to give your child a feeling of security. If space allows, choose a bed frame with a tall headboard and footboard, or a sleigh bed to emulate the comforting walls of a crib. A guardrail on the open side will prevent your child from rolling out of bed at night. Position a nightstand within easy reach. It will provide a convenient place for bedtime stories and a cup of water if your child wakes up thirsty. Make sure to keep tall furniture away from the bed to prevent him from trying to climb onto it. If the bed is high, place a step stool nearby to make it easier to get in and out. If your child wants to keep using an old crib blanket for a while, let him, even if it's too small. Its familiarity will be reassuring. Some kids find a sleeping bag comforting, since it re-creates the feeling of a crib. Check your childproofing. Now that your little one isn't confined at night, make sure there are no hazards in the room, or in other areas he has access to.
