Winter does not always encourage walking, especially when there is no snow outside yet, and the poignant cold can be felt even under a thick layer of clothes. Winter aura often takes on gray colors - the sky is covered with clouds, giving no hope for even the slightest ray of sunshine. In such an atmosphere it is difficult to spend time in the yard. In addition, recently we hear a lot about smog, which negatively affects human health, especially the elderly, pregnant women, children... Such conditions mean that leisure time during the winter is often better spent in the comfort of the home. How best to manage it so that the child is not bored by the lack of outdoor activities?

The common cold is probably the most common illness that affects most people several times a year. Studies show that adults get a cold an average of 2 to 4 times a year, the elderly about once a year, while children get a cold 2 to 3 times more often than adults! Cold air and frequent temperature fluctuations cause the immune system to weaken, leaving us vulnerable to viral attacks. Despite all efforts, dressing warmly and at the same time being careful not to overheat the toddler, there comes a time when our child gets a cold. He is suffering from a runny nose, cough, fever and has to stay home. It is said that a cold lasts about 7 days. How to manage this time for the child in such a way as to get through it in the most pleasant way possible?

Children have greater sensitivity and feel stress differently from adults. It is important to remember to help the child cope with nervous situations. How this can be done?
