The anorexia is the disease both long and serious, and to avoid it or slow down at the early stage of the development, the parents shall control their kids closely.

 

Unfortunately, the causes of the nervous anorexia are still not understood fully. In the adolescents, it often begins with an entirely conscious diet aimed at the weight loss. In the young kids, the anorexia’s usually caused with the psychological reasons. Perhaps, here isn’t the last place occupied with all sorts of the fears.

You can suspect this disease in the kiddo when you notice his strange behavior at the table. The baby can crumble the food too thoroughly, picking in the plate for a long time, keep the food safe, whereas before these features hadn’t been observed. The child sometimes suffering from the anorexia, some weird food preferences appear. For example, he does not refuse to eat only one or two dishes, while he’s had much more preferences before. In addition, the sign of the nervous anorexia can be the sharp loss of the weight. In the process reducing of the weight and increasing the digestive disorders in the kid there’re such the symptoms as the weakness, the fatigue, the dizziness, the constipation, at times lowering of the blood pressure and the sharp heartbeat. It’s very often, these children have the lower temperature of the body and they feel the numbness in the limbs.

 

 

The treatment of the anorexia should be carried out in two directions that are it’s necessary to take care of both the physical condition and the psychological ones of the kid. On the one hand, it is necessary to restore the good nutrition. On the other hand, to convince the baby that he’s necessary for the others and he’s loved, he’s got the attractive appearance and also to assure him that the food is needful for each person, because it’s a source of the vital energy. And in order for the recovery proceeded more successful, the kid ought to change the familiar surroundings at least for a while.

The perversion of the appetite is rare and most often in children under three years. In this case, the baby rejects the regular food, preferring it the non-edible items. It should be noted that even more frequently the children with the mental retardation or any psychological abnormalities are affected by this disease. Thus, the babies prefer hair, paper, wool, the paints watercolour, and the kids are older a little consume the sand, the ground, the feces animal, the leaves, etc. with pleasure.

If you notice that your kiddo tastes the objects different inedible, you should not think immediately that he suffers from the perversion of the appetite. Many healthy children often try everything on a tooth, however, having understood the inedibility of this or that thing, quickly spit out it. But if the kid eats the unedible subjects, you must show him to the doctor. As a rule, the kiddos “outgrow” the perversion of the appetite themselves and gradually by the age of three or five years start eating the normal food.

According to experts are involved in this problem closely, the perverted appetite’s the disorder of the behavior primarily. The reasons for the latter one are yet not fully known. There is an assumption that this disease occurs because of the violation forming the behavioral skills or the stress. Therefore, in the family the calm atmosphere ought to create. The child should not feel lonely or abandoned. But the perversion of the appetite can also occur as a reaction to the lack of the food ration of the inorganic substances (eg. the salts of an iron and a zinc [zɪŋk]) or other the vitally necessary microelements.

In a word, for the treatment of the kid it’s out of necessity to determine and eliminate the causes of what is happening. If the perversion of the appetite appeared as a result of a stress experienced by the kiddo for one reason or another, it’s needed to rule out of the traumatic circumstances. You can also have the positive impact on your child altering his behavior, encouraging desirable one and punishing the negative behavior. This method usually gives good results.

 

The parents of the two-year-old kid addressed me with the complaint that the kiddo began eating the ground and the sand. In the conversation, I found out, there’s a critical situation at home, because the young couple had to live with the parents of the wife who never missed an opportunity to reproach the son-in-law for not being able to support the family adequately. Hence, there are numerous scandals, and, certainly, their witness is quite often the child. I recommended the kiddo’s parents to change the environment and create more peaceful atmosphere in the family. In addition, I advised all the positive actions of the baby, including the use of the normal food, to reward with the praise and gentle stroking. At the same time, the desire of the baby to try the ground or other uneatable objects again shall be suppressed strictly.

 

Pretty soon the kid got rid of the bad habits, he perceived that as soon as he pulled the ground into his mouth, the baby would be scolded; in other cases you should caress and praise your child, so already after a short time he changed his behavior completely. Of course, the result wouldn’t have been so fast if the parents did not change their place of the residence, but restructuring of the behavior in the baby has borne its fruit.

 

Another reason of the refusal to eat by your kid can be the rumination, or so-called a gum. This disease’s characterized with chewing secondary, or chewing returned from the stomach back into the mouth. If your kiddo constantly burps into the mouth and then swallows the food substance half-digested partially, you must show him to the specialist. Fortunately, this disease is quite rare and occurs in the kids from three to twelve months. You can guess the rumination in your baby, if he often takes the same position that is the child’s back is arched, the muscles of the stomach are abdominal, and his head is thrown back. After burping, as a rule, a part of the foodstuff’s spited or flown out of the mouth, and another part of eating is chewed again and swallowed. The gum sometimes passes itself, but in the most cases a treatment’s required.

The cause of the disease is the ignorance by the parents in some space of time, how, when and how much you need to feed the baby. Some mothers feed the child too often and try to give the huge doses of whole milk to him at a time.

The rumination can also be caused with the insufficient stimulation of the kid. In other words, if you do not have close contact with the baby, you talk and play with him a little and then not only the formation of a kinship with you in relation to him is disrupted, but also the risk of this disease increases.

The rumination can also occur as the response reacting to a stressful situation in the family.

The chewing gum is terrible the fact that the normal nutrition disturbs at the child. He looks exhausted, loses the weight and grizzles from the hunger between the moments of the regurgitation. In addition, if you don’t treat the disease, it can lead to the dehydration of the kiddie body, the underdevelopment because of the malnutrition and even the death.

The rumination is very difficult to treat, so the sick child needs the hospitalization in the most cases. If the treatment of the baby is at home, you should make his diet in this way that it contained the large amount of the protein if necessary for maintaining of the growth processes. Don’t forget that in this period the baby needs your stimulation to develop normally both physically and psychologically. You must strengthen your relationships with your kid that it will probably have a positive effect on his condition. Take him in your arms definitely at the time and instantly after feeding. Your attention, rendered to the kiddo, will help to prevent the regurgitation. In addition, provide the atmosphere both friendly and relaxed for your child in the family. In this case, during the treatment, the child shall be under a supervision of a pediatrician.
