When children have a good time, they are especially reluctant to wear socks, barefoot on the floor, even on the marble floor, and sometimes sweat profusely.
Grandma couldn’t help but feel surprised, [cold comes from the soles of the feet] ah, it is strange that it is not frozen? Sometimes they even chase behind with socks and shoes, and even take out coercion and inducements. But even if the child does put on it, the heat will last for two minutes, especially the shoes.
Is it harmful for the child to be barefoot? Do socks have to be worn?
Children don’t like to wear socks? Normal
The baby is in the growth and development period, the metabolism itself is more vigorous than that of adults, and the baby is lively and active, and is always not idle when awake, so it is normal to sweat more.
In addition, eating actually causes heat production in the body. Babies often eat less and eat more, so food produces more heat.
In a word, the baby’s body is warmer than that of adults. The old people will call it [angry], which makes sense.
For children with more activities, for example, they have already begun to learn to walk. If they are always forced to wear socks, their feet will sweat more but be stuffed in their shoes and socks, which is very uncomfortable and may breed bacteria and cause infection. Therefore, many babies instinctively do not like the bondage of shoes and socks.
There are so many advantages to not wearing socks.
You know, many kindergartens abroad often have teachers taking their children barefoot activities, such as playing games and jogging, the so-called “barefoot education”, which has even become a formal course in Japan.
1. Promote sensory development
Both feet are rich in nerve endings, It is an important tactile sensory part. When walking barefoot, it can contact the stimulation from the ground with different textures, which is helpful to stimulate the development of tactile nerves, promote the establishment of contact between senses and brain, complete various fine movements, improve sensory sensitivity, enhance the flexibility and coordination of the body, and the baby looks smarter and more agile.
Wearing socks frequently at this stage will affect children’s tactile development and is not conducive to the cultivation of both feet ‘exploration ability.
2. It is good for learning to walk.
When the baby walks barefoot, he will bend his toes to grasp the ground, and the peripheral nerves of the sole of his foot will also feel the stimulation of the ground, better sense the height changes of the ground, and make timely adjustments, so as to walk more steadily and harmoniously.
Therefore, it is best for children who are toddlers to learn to walk barefoot.
Before the child can walk, there is no need to buy toddler shoes, because walking is the result of natural development and is not learned by toddler products. Any so-called toddler shoes cannot help walking, while barefoot walking can make the child walk more stably with his feet, which is more conducive to parents to observe whether the child’s standing posture and walking posture are normal.
It’s not that cold without socks.
When the baby is not wearing socks, Parents will find the baby’s feet cool, The temperature is lower than the body. But in fact, this phenomenon is quite normal. It is because people’s limbs, especially their feet, are farthest from the heart, and when their feet come into contact with the low-temperature floor, they will automatically contract capillaries and reduce heat dissipation. Therefore, even their feet are cool to the touch. This does not mean that the baby is cold. Therefore, clothes cannot be added or subtracted according to the temperature of hands and feet, but should be touched on the neck and back of the child.
With the increase of baby’s activity, hands and feet will gradually warm up. Therefore, children with cold hands and feet can consider exercising more?
If it is said that barefoot will catch cold, then Japanese children are still shorts and skirts in winter or even snowy days, with their glistening legs exposed. Isn’t that all frozen? In fact, people’s physical quality is good.
Whether to wear or not, let the child decide
Although barefoot has many advantages, whether to wear socks or not is ultimately decided according to the actual situation.
- There is no need to wear socks for newborns (within one month of birth), As long as the room temperature remains above 22 degrees Celsius, The body is attached to the feet and wrapped, There is no need to wear socks any more, and babies in the neonatal intensive care unit often do not wear socks. For premature infants, the mother usually holds her chest, kangaroo-like care, and there is no need to wear socks. When the child is older, as long as the child can express, if the child feels cold, wear it, if not cold, can not wear it. ()
Even in the air-conditioned room, as long as the temperature is not too low, avoid letting the air-conditioned port face the baby, also will not occur nasal congestion, runny nose, diarrhea and other symptoms, barefoot is no effect. No matter under what circumstances, if the temperature at home can be maintained at 23 ~ 26 degrees is the best.
Of course, parents should respect differences, after all, every child is different. Some children just don’t like the feeling of barefoot. There are also some children, even if they sleep in warm beds, their hands and feet are not easy to cover up. Even some adults are used to sleeping in socks, which makes them feel warm and comfortable. If the indoor temperature is low or the air conditioner is on in summer, such children can consider wearing socks when sleeping.
Therefore, there is no way to give a clear conclusion as to whether children need to wear socks. It should vary from person to person.
