School overload. How to avoid overwork

08.05.2020

Should we parents not know what kind of stress our students are exposed to. Every modern parent wants his child to be developed, smart, athletic, and most importantly, to be no worse than the neighbor's Petya, who has been reading and writing since the age of three, singing in the choir, knowing three languages \u200b\u200band embroidering with a cross. Therefore, our children, in addition to mastering increasingly complicated school programs and doing voluminous homework every year, additionally study with tutors, attend several circles and sections, study foreign languages \u200b\u200band at the same time, instead of walking in the fresh air and good rest, sit at the computer for hours and manage to digest the huge streams of information pouring from the "blue screens" of televisions. The reverse side of such an intensive all-round development of our children is the development of overwork.
From the point of view of medicine, overwork is a physiological state of the body that occurs as a result of excessive activity and is manifested by a temporary decrease in working capacity. Overwork can be physical and mental. And if you can cope with the first one simply by sleeping and having a good rest, then in order to recover from mental or mental fatigue, it is necessary to revise and change the rhythm of life and the load of the child, and sometimes the help of a doctor may even be required.
Here are some signs of overwork that should alert parents:
- a change in the child's behavior: from a cheerful and active being, he suddenly becomes a moody whiner, may also appear increased irritability and even aggression;
- the child becomes absent-minded, inattentive, it is difficult for him to concentrate when preparing his homework, which is usually very annoying, puzzling parents. Against the background of good performance in school, bad grades begin to appear systematically;
- sleep and appetite are disturbed. Difficulty falling asleep and waking up. Appetite usually decreases, or vice versa, the child can constantly chew something, begins to consume more sweets;
- obsessive appear bad habits (the child bites his nails, picks his nose, constantly pulls his hair)
- are becoming more frequent colds... The child becomes pale, with bruises under the eyes. Complaints of headaches and fatigue appear.
If the parents do not notice the changes in time and do not take action, the case may end in exhaustion. nervous system, neurosis, as well as a significant decrease in immunity and the emergence of chronic diseases.
What should we, parents, do to avoid overworking our beloved child:
- first of all, remember that every child is an INDIVIDUALITY. Even if the "Nordic" character and peculiarities of the organization of the nervous system of the neighbor Petya allow him to calmly cope with a rather high load, this does not mean that the nervous system of your child will be able to do it. Therefore, it is very thoughtful and sensitive to select additional activities for your child. If the offspring, despite all your efforts, clearly does not "pull" the complicated school curriculum, you should not overload him with tutors and additional intellectual activities. Maybe it's better to transfer him to a simpler program and choose a sports section for him. Let you have no reason to boast of a prestigious education on occasion, but the child will certainly become calmer and happier. When choosing a section or circle, you need to be guided not only by your own ideas and unrealized desires, but also take into account the wishes of the child. It is also necessary to soberly assess his physical abilities and temperament. For some children, in order to fully throw out their energy, football and karate will not be enough, and only chess is suitable for another in temperament. Even if the child has chosen a circle or section for himself, he may after some time lose interest in it. Too frequent change of sections and interests will not help the child learn to be consistent in his actions, persistent in achieving his goals, but at the same time, if you persistently force him to do what does not work out and what does not lie in his heart, it is hardly possible to achieve good results... Perhaps a change in occupation will help a child discover his abilities and find his own path in the future, because finding his hobby in life is a great success. In the case when the child has lost interest in classes, the wise behavior of the parents is to understand that the child is in charge - banal laziness or the chosen section really does not suit him, and he must either abandon it or change it. If a child most of time he goes to study with pleasure, willingly talks about his successes and failures, but from time to time does not show a desire to study, most likely, it is a matter of banal laziness. But if the child attends classes every time through force, after class becomes irritable, does not want to share impressions, complains about bad feeling, it means that you have chosen an occupation that is not to his liking and beyond his strength.
- the child should have time for walks in the fresh air every day. Unfortunately, modern children prefer to spend their free time not walking in the yard, but sitting at a computer or in front of the TV. It is even more convenient for many parents: on the one hand, the child is busy with something, and at the same time does not "stagger" somewhere in the street. This "convenience" is causing great harm to the physical and mental health of our children, not to mention the lost values \u200b\u200bof friendship and "live communication". Therefore, I urge all parents - if they themselves do not go, "throw" your children out into the street! Dosage TV and computer, encourage live communication with friends. It is much more beneficial to your health to play a ball in the yard, even sometimes to the detriment of reading a book or additional activity. Let it be better not knowing everything, but healthy, than well-read, but sick.
- a child, especially a younger student, should have a daily routine, which means waking up, falling asleep and eating should be at about the same time of day. School-age children should sleep 10-11 hours a day, so to get your child to get enough sleep, do not let him be late in going to bed.
- with high mental and physical stress, good nutrition is especially important. The child's diet should be rich in complete animal protein (meat, fish, cottage cheese), complex carbohydrates (bread, different kinds whole grain cereals) and vitamins (vegetables, fruits, berries,). It is important to know and include in the child's diet, which improve brain function, stimulate metabolism, and strengthen the nervous system. Additionally, after consulting a doctor, you can give him vitamins in the form of pharmaceutical preparations.
When to see a doctor:
- symptoms of overwork do not go away for more than two weeks;
- the child has severe and persistent sleep disorders (insomnia, or vice versa, an increase in its duration)
- bruises under the eyes do not disappear even after sleep;
- appeared bad smell from mouth;
- the child complains of headaches or abdominal pain.
What to do if your child is overworked:
- cancel additional loads;
- follow the advice of a doctor;
- do not blame the child and do not express to him your disappointment that he did not cope and did not justify your hopes and desires;
- not to discuss the existing problem in the presence of the child, so as not to cause unnecessary anxiety or guilt in him;
- adjust the child's schedule and regimen and adhere to the rules for preventing overwork discussed above.
First of all, the task of parents is to educate physically and mentally HEALTHY person, a harmonious personality without complexes and distortions. It will be easier for such a person, and not for a super-genius know-it-all, to find his place in life. And if this person in the process of education does not have time to learn the second foreign language, does not learn to dance or play chess well, then he will be able to make up for these omissions in adulthood, if need be.

Those who exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week experience less fatigue.

Move three times a week

A tired person easily refuses even light physical activity, although they are the best medicine... Those who exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week experience less fatigue, and if regular exercise stress lasts six weeks, then their tone increases. These results were obtained by researchers at the University of Georgia (USA).

Even the smallest physical activity increases the performance of the heart and blood vessels, enriching tissues with oxygen. A simple walk helps with fatigue.

Drink more water

Already a 2% fluid deficit in the body reduces the energy balance of a person. If you don't drink enough water, then the blood thickens, and this complicates the work of the heart. Oxygen and nutrients they enter muscles and organs more slowly.

“When doing physical activity, you must remember that every hour of active activity you should drink 0.5 liters of liquid, and even more in the heat,” says Soini.

Don't forget to have breakfast

Food is fuel for the body and brain. When you wake up to sleep, you will feel that the brain is rested, but the body needs refueling.

After a long night, the body used up the food eaten the day before. Therefore, porridge loaded with grainy cottage cheese and berries, berry smoothies, chicken eggs or yogurt with fruit are a good alternative.

Drink less coffee

Coffee has an invigorating effect, but only to a certain extent. "Research shows that coffee is harmless in moderation, while it is a diuretic in large amounts, which can lead to fluid loss," says Soini.

Drinking a lot of coffee can disrupt your body's insulin production and cause fatigue. Excessive coffee drinking can cause sleep disturbances.

Some scholars believe that three cups of coffee a day is the maximum amount allowed.

Get Iron

Iron deficiency leads to weakness, fatigue and distraction. Fatigue is due to the fact that less oxygen is supplied to the cells and muscles.

Hemoglobin and myoglobin are responsible for transporting oxygen in the body, which is the most important function of iron. Iron is supplied through fish and meat, and vitamin C is designed for better absorption.

Don't be overly demanding of yourself and others

Demanding makes you work for a long time and with perseverance, which, in the end, can turn against you. Lowering the bar a little will make you more alert and allow you to achieve more.

Don't be overly responsible

Many studies show that responsibility is a trait that causes general fatigue. If you feel like you have to serve your employer, family, friends, or whoever needs your help, then you forget about yourself and about the sound distribution of your own resources.

Avoid overuse sugar and carbohydrates

Blood sugar becomes unstable from eating sugar and fast carbohydrates.

“High blood sugar causes fatigue. If the food is plentiful and you eat food with high content carbohydrates, then blood sugar jumps. Serotonin secreted by the brain induces relaxation and the need for afternoon nap”, Says Sirpa Soini.

Naturally, a tired body requires sugar. “A bag of sweets or a glazed bagel can be substituted for fruits or vegetables because they are low in naturally occurring carbohydrates. A small amount of nuts can be energizing. You can satisfy your sweet tooth with berry smoothies. ”

Keep the house and workplace clean

There are people who feel comfortable in the midst of confusion. And yet, clutter causes latent irritation, which has been proven by scientists at Princeton University, USA.

Clutter slows down the speed of information processing and forces the brain to work harder than necessary. If children are taught to put away toys after play, then adults can also make it a rule to clean up their workplace and home at the end of the day.

Remember the importance of vacation

If you constantly have to check your email even after work or on vacation, then this increases the risk of burnout syndrome. If you can put in neutral and rest. This will return you strength, energy and the joy of being.

Avoid alcohol abuse

Alcohol helps sleep, but even a small dose interferes with sleep quality. Alcohol leads to an adrenaline rush. For this reason, sleep will be fleeting and hectic.

Don't use your computer before bed

How much can the use of tech aids before bedtime affect sleep quality? This is very individual. Some people are more sensitive to external stimuli.

If you want to have a good, high-quality sleep, you should avoid all kinds of devices at least two hours before going to the side.

In case of any fatigue, as well as in case of a disorder of the nervous system, it is recommended to loosen the raw yolk in a glass of almost hot milk, put a little sugar in it and drink it slowly. This drink can be consumed 2-3 times a day.

The modern rhythm of our life often leads to chronic fatigue, which does not spare anyone - neither schoolchildren, nor young people, nor the elderly, writes MyJane.Ru.

Just look at your schoolchildren! Not only do they have such a high academic load, from which they come home already tired, but after school, almost everyone still studies in some section. It turns out that the child is busy all day. And in the evening you still have to do your homework, after which you only have to sleep. But it was not there! The child's body starts to strike, overstrain does not give restful sleepand all this leads to stress.

Or you yourself, having worked in the service, and then doing household chores, often do not have time for rest. It is this accumulated fatigue that leads to health disorders. And this is headaches, and memory impairment, and inattention, and a constant desire to lie down and rest. And when I managed to go to bed, sleep was gone.

You can avoid a stressful situation, as well as help yourself or your loved ones, if you follow these recommendations:

Above all, remain calm. If you start to panic that you do not have time to do this or that, your fear will not help, but will only aggravate stressful situation... Therefore, do not shout, do not make sudden movements, do not rush. And if you feel that you are about to explode or cry from fatigue, try to breathe a little slower, more calmly - the stress will gradually go away.

To do some work, but avoid overwork at the same time, you need to learn how to choose the optimal mode of work and rest, to maintain their optimal ratio.

It is useful to alternate monotonous work with rhythmic, and mental stress with physical.

You need to train yourself to get enough sleep. If this is difficult to do during the week, then sleep longer on weekends.

The cells of the brain need oxygen, so you need to ventilate the apartment more often, try to spend as much time as possible in the fresh air. Walking before bed is especially helpful.

In the evening before going to bed, it is useful to drink a glass of herbal infusion, which will help to relax after a rich sleep at work and promote good sleep.

During the day, it is better to give up coffee and replace it with black tea, it invigorates just as well.

Fatigue and decreased brain performance can be the result of dehydration. If you do not drink 1.5-2 liters of liquid per day, this leads to a decrease in the speed of mental processes by almost 30%.

As a folk remedy that helps with insomnia and anxious sleep, you can drink a glass of pumpkin broth with honey at night.

If you follow these simple rules, chronic fatigue will not affect you.

The main thing that each of us should know about is not to allow a state of chronic lack of sleep, because lack of sleep is a kind of stress for the body. Under stress or urgent need, an untrained person can stay awake for about 20 hours. Then nature will still take its toll, the body will simply turn off and will rest. And in this case, knowing some of the rules will not hurt.

If you have serious work to do

You need to learn how to alternate work with rest.

If you want to sleep in the evening, but you have to work all night, you can have a snack, eat, but not densely. Foods high in carbohydrates should be avoided as they produce a sleep-inducing substance. Therefore, instead of pasta, potatoes and white bread, you can eat fish. Tuna dishes are especially good.

If, on the contrary, in the evening you want to fall asleep quickly and get up early in the morning to work, eat a few walnuts at night. They contain tryptophan, an amino acid from which the sleep hormone is produced.

If you have not slept enough, and there is a whole day of hard work ahead

Save energy and rest. Use every free minute to relax, rest, lie down, albeit without sleep. Some smart leaders let their employees lay their heads on the table and be distracted for a few minutes. Try to leave aside all the problems that bother you. And if you work from home, allow yourself to sleep for at least 15-30 minutes or just lie down with your eyes closed, thinking about something pleasant. Now almost everyone works a lot and takes little rest.

Work slowly, planning clearly what tasks need to be completed in a day. It is better to make a plan, including only the most urgent matters in it, and everything else, if possible, can be postponed until you get enough sleep.

Mental and physical respite will help you last longer. If you have an hour to spare, go to the nearest beauty salon for a procedure if it takes no more than the allotted time. A foot massage, a face mask, a pedicure, or washing and styling your hair will be useful, provided that the master does not distract you with conversations.

But! Avoid any bath procedures and steaming - you will want to sleep even more.
