Ma Bao, you worry too much. Although the height of Bao Dad and Ma Bao is not ideal, the height of the baby is influenced by genetic factors and acquired development. Parents with unsatisfactory height can create favorable conditions for their babies to grow taller through some channels during their children's growth and development, and try their best to reduce unnecessary regrets for their babies. I've seen this happen around me. Mom and dad are less than 170, but the child has grown to 1 m 83, and he is still a doctor at a top university in China. How is this done? In fact, in addition to providing children with adequate and reasonable nutrition and improving the quality of sleep, the most effective way is to do some exercises that help children develop intellectually and grow taller.
We all know that children who play basketball are tall. Why? Because it can stretch the body. What if the child is still very young and can't play basketball? In order to prevent the height of children from losing at the starting line, today I will introduce you to a sport that is not inferior to playing basketball and can make children smarter and smarter. This is the "skipping rope" that we used to play when we were young.
Although we have been playing skipping since childhood, do you know what benefits it has? After scientific judgment: it has a very significant effect on children's physical development!
Skipping rope has seven advantages.
Benefit 1: improve cardiopulmonary function. Skipping rope can speed up the whole body blood circulation and improve the cardiopulmonary function and respiratory system function; Gastrointestinal peristalsis and metabolism are also accelerated.
Benefit 2: The child who jumps rope is tall. In the process of skipping rope, the muscles of the main parts of the body are exercised, which can help the bones grow rapidly and make the children grow taller.
Benefit 3: promote the synchronous development of left and right brains. Skipping rope requires the regular and rhythmic cooperation of limbs, hands and feet, wrists and shoulders, which can promote the progress of the baby's left and right hemispheres. At the same time, it can also cultivate the baby's sense of balance, coordination, agility, rhythm, endurance and explosiveness.
In addition, hold the rope, and the rope stimulates the thumb acupoint; The feet constantly collide with the ground, stimulate the pituitary gland through the foot reflex zone, enhance the vitality of brain cells, and sublimate the thinking reaction ability and imagination.
Benefit 4: Improve sleep and nourish brain cells. The child can't sleep? Still sleepy? Often skipping rope can make children fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. Science has proved that children with good sleep have better brain development and are smarter.
Benefit 5: Bring good mood and self-confidence. Want to cheer up? Come and jump rope with the baby! Often skipping rope will stimulate the baby's brain to release chemicals, and the child will feel very happy and relaxed. Moreover, children who exercise for a long time are healthier and more flexible, thus enhancing their self-confidence and self-esteem.
Benefit 6: Understand the meaning of numbers. Teaching children to count while skipping rope, linking abstract numbers with actual things and transforming abstract memories into vivid memories can help children understand the actual meaning of numbers, form the concept of numbers and improve their memory.
Benefit 7: Make children stronger. If the baby is overweight, skipping rope can help him burn off excess fat and become stronger. As far as the amount of exercise is concerned, 600~ 1000 calories can be burned in one hour every minute/20 ~140 times.
How old can I start skipping rope?
Because skipping rope requires high coordination between hands and feet, it is usually carried out after 3 years old, but individual well-developed children can try it after 2 and a half years old.
A 3-year-old child can generally shake the rope and jump with it. Although it is not very coherent, it already has a sense of rhythm. By the age of five, most children can jump many times in a row.
What about children under 3 years old or children with poor coordination between hands and feet? Parents can play jumping games with their babies in places with certain flexibility, such as grass, mud and floor. For example, they can do some jumping movements when reading songs with their babies on the grass. "White rabbit, white ears, so cute." Then imitate the white rabbit to jump, and the baby will jump with it when he sees it, which not only stimulates the baby's interest in jumping, but also learns to control himself, learn to be quiet and concentrate, and also achieves the effect of skipping rope.
Teach your baby the correct posture of jumping: feet together, knees slightly jumping, toes touching the ground first, arms swinging naturally. Protect the child's head and knees. When playing games, try to eliminate all unsafe factors around him and give him a spacious and safe space.
What kind of skipping rope is suitable for children?
Skipping rope is divided according to the material. Generally, there are the following types.
1. rope. Soft, it doesn't hurt when hitting the body, but it is very light, and the novice feels weak when waving it.
2. Plastic rope. It can be divided into fine plastic rope, coarse plastic rope and empty plastic rope. Children are suitable for a little thinner, easier to float and cheaper.
But the disadvantage is that it is easy to bend and will be stiff when it is cold. As for the plastic rope for air traffic control, it is soft and a little floating when waving, but it doesn't hurt too much when hitting the body, so it can also be considered.
3. Steel wire rope. This is thin and heavy, with little resistance, and it jumps fast, but it hurts when it hits the body, so it is not suitable for children.
As for the length of skipping rope, it is generally that both feet stand in the middle of the rope and then straighten. This length is most suitable when the handle of the rope is at the position of the child's shoulder.
If skipping rope is too long, you can tie a knot, which will shorten it a lot. Then when the baby grows up, you can untie the knot and reuse it.
How to guide children to start skipping rope?
Children who have just started skipping rope will be a little at a loss, and often jump around waving the rope like a little grasshopper, so how to guide them requires skill. You can guide them slowly through the following four steps:
Step 1: Let the children try to jump in place without a rope. Then practice jumping with the rhythm, such as clapping your hands and letting the baby jump.
Step 2: Let the children hold the rope without jumping, and only train to put the rope from the back to the front.
Step 3: still train the swinging rope not to jump, but when the rope falls, raise your toes and press the rope under your feet.
Step 4: Throw the rope and jump. At this point, the baby has been able to master the basic skipping rhythm. A few more jumps and you can jump continuously!
As for the frequency of skipping rope, it is recommended that children keep jumping 1 minute every time, and then rest for 2-3 minutes. This is a cycle, repeat 5 cycles, and you can achieve the effect of fitness!
Tip: Children will have various problems when they start to practice skipping, but after a period of practice, their skipping posture will be very standard.
Many treasure moms say that after children practice skipping rope, their posture becomes straighter and straighter, their endurance becomes stronger and stronger, and they become more and more attractive, especially the number of illnesses decreases! To tell the truth, when children practice skipping rope, they also suggest Ma Bao to join in, not only to play with the children, but also to shape their bodies. It's great to think about it!
