Encouraging Your Child to Use a Nebulizer
October 24, 2012 by kenstanfield
Filed under ASTHMA
A nebulizer can be an effective method for giving your child his/her asthma medicine. Typically, you’ll only need to use one for five to ten minutes to get a full dose. All your child needs to do is stay still with the facemask strapped to their face (or holding the mouthpiece in their mouth, depending on the type of nebulizer you have) and breathe in normally.
Now, some parents may read this and think, “Ah, but there’s the problem.” And indeed, it can be hard to get some children to stay still for five to ten seconds, much less minutes. Also, holding a device up to their face for that length of time could potentially make them uncomfortable. Here, then, are a few tips for persuading your child to use their nebulizer as often and as regularly as they need.
Routine
Set a specific time each day for your child to take their medicine and stick to it. This will help condition your child to using the nebulizer regularly.
Positive Reinforcement
Praise your child for using the nebulizer correctly. Remind them how using it will help keep them healthy and enable them to do more things. You could also give them a small treat after they’ve finished using it. Another good idea is to engage in some activity to make the time that your child is using the nebulizer more pleasant (read to your child, play some music, watch a DVD or a TV show, etc.). If your child is older, encourage them to help you set up the nebulizer so they’ll feel more responsible and in control.
Make It Fun
If your child shows some reluctance, you can make a game out of using the nebulizer. For instance, pretend that the facemask is a scuba mask or a jet pilot’s mask. Encourage your child to decorate the nebulizer with stickers and possibly draw on it using non-toxic markers. Of course, you should be careful not to do anything that could potentially damage the compressor, hose or facemask/mouthpiece. Also, don’t do anything to the inside of a facemask.
Using a nebulizer doesn’t have to be a chore. With a bit of planning and creativity, you help your child grow comfortable with using one and managing their respiratory problems.

Hi, in this video I show you how to do my ab routine for achieving a flat toned stomach and a strong core. My featured tip uses weights in order to expedite achieving strong abdominal muscles in less time while using traditional crunches. You don’t have to spend enormous amounts of time doing situp routines if you use proper form and concentrate on using your abdominal muscles properly. Please give it a try. You will see results! Remember good form is the key and so is consistency. I never leave the gym without doing my ab work. A strong core will help your back as well if you suffer from back problems. Be careful when adding weights to your routine if you have any type of neck or back injury. You don’t want to make it worse. Start with light weights if you are new to using weights. I hope this video was helpful! I welcome any comments you might have! Please remember to Subscribe!!! There’s more to come!

Your child’s diet and her/his IQ
What your child eats can have an effect on his or her IQ. And the earlier you start them on the healthy diet, the better. Results from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children show that what a 3-year old toddler is eating now would be partially determinant of his or her cognitive performance 5 years hence.
The early years are the years when the brain is developing very rapidly and the fastest growth rate occurs during the first 3 years of a person’s life. In these formative years, the brain needs all the right nutrients it can get.
Foods packed with vitamins and minerals are good for the brain. Foods rich in sugar and fat as well as processed food on the other hand are IQ destroyers.
Okay, so toddlers are notorious for being fussy with their food. But the eating habits of many kids improve as they grow older. How does this improvement affect IQ? Well, according to the study, this helps a bit but the healthy-eating toddler still keeps the head start.
According to the authors
The Avon Study is following up “the long-term health and well-being of around 14,000 children.” This part of the study was conducted by asking the parents to fill up a questionnaire on diet and by asking the kids to take an IQ test. The authors found a strong correlation between dietary scores and IQ levels.
With the increasing trend of childhood obesity, the results of this study underscore an urgent need for drastic measures to improve diet in early childhood. It is not only the body that suffers but the mind as well.
According to Michael Nelson, the School Food Trust’s director of research:
My resolution: Eat as well as my kids
“Do what I say, don’t do what I do.”
Is this the rule we set for our kids at home?
It seems that many parents, while being particular about providing a healthy diet for their kids, are actually neglecting their own, according to a report in the USA Today. Am I one of them?
Sadly, I may be guilty as charged. I make it a point to prepare something healthy when the kids have lunch at home – and that is 3 days a week. The rest of the week I lunch on my own – on leftovers and whatever fast thing I can cook. Just a few hours ago, I had a lunch of spaghetti and had to force my self to eat half a red capsicum. And yes – I would sneak and grab a chocolate or a gulp of coke when my kids are not looking.
Back to the report, this trend seems to be quite common among busy working parents, even among the most health-conscious.
According to David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program at Children’s Hospital Boston:
Indeed I am guilty as charged. My only consolation is the fact that I haven’t resorted to fast food or microwave food yet. And in exchange of cooking a real meal for myself, I go jogging
But definitely there is much room for improvement in my dietary habits when my children are not around. This is why I making this one of my New Year’s resolution.
In relation to this, the updated 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans was recently released. According to a speech by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius:
Steps like controlling your calorie intake.
Increasing the calories you burn by moving more and sitting less.
Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
And eating less sodium, sugar, and saturated fats.
If we want to become a healthier, stronger, more competitiive country, we need to give the American people the tools to make healthy choices.”
