Okuqukethwe
Kungani umntwana ekhala ebusuku futhi evuka eklabalasa?
Lapho kuzalwa futhi kuze kufike ezinyangeni ezintathu, zimbalwa izinsana ezikwazi ukulala amahora amaningana ebusuku. Umzimba wabo, ophile ngendlela yawo, ufudumala esiswini izinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye, kufanele ngempela ujwayele lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "i-circadian" rhythm, esivumela ukuba sisebenze emini futhi siphumule ebusuku. Lokhu kujwayela kuthatha amasonto amane kuya kwayisishiyagalombili. Okwamanje, ukulala kwezingane ezisacathula kuhlukaniswa inkathi yamahora amathathu kuya kwamane, kuphazanyiswa izidingo zazo zokudla. Ngakho-ke izinyanga zokuqala, kukithi, abazali ukuzivumelanisa nezimo isigqi sengane ! Asikho isidingo sokuzama ukwenza usana “lulale ubusuku bonke” uma kungesona isikhathi esikahle ngaye.
Okufanele ukwenze lapho umntwana evuka, ngezinye izikhathi njalo ngehora?
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ungalungiselela ingane yakho ukuthi ilale ubusuku bonke. Okokuqala, asimvuse ngezizathu zokuthi “sekuyisikhathi sokudla” noma “sokuthi kumele kushintshwe”. Khona-ke, ake sizame ukunikeza amaphuzu amaningi okubhekisela ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze sihlukanise imini nobusuku: phakathi nesikhathi sokulala emini, vumela ukukhanya okuncane kungene futhi ungabeki ukuthula endlini. Ngokuphambene, kusihlwa, singasetha encane umkhuba wokulala (ukucula, umculo, ukwanga, indaba yakusihlwa yakamuva…) kulokhu, ngangokunokwenzeka, ngezikhathi ezijwayelekile. Futhi lapho umntwana evuka ebusuku, ake sihlale sizolile nobumnyama, uma kunesidingo ngosizo lokukhanya okuncane ebusuku, ukuze aphinde alale kalula.
Kungani umntwana ehlala evuka ezinyangeni ezi-3, 4, 5 noma ngisho nezi-6?
Ngisho nezingane “ezilala ubusuku bonke” kusukela ezinyangeni ezintathu ubudala, okusho ukuthi ezilala amahora ayisithupha endaweni eyodwa, ngezinye izikhathi zivuka ebusuku. Naka ungaphambanisi ukuvuka kwasebusuku kanye nezigaba zokulala ezingaphumuli, lapho ingane ivula amehlo futhi ikhale noma ikhale.
Imiphi imikhuba okufanele yenziwe ngokumelene nokulala okungaphumuli nokuvuka kwasebusuku?
Lapho ingane yakho ivuka, singazama ukulinda imizuzu embalwa ngaphambi kokuphuthuma kweyakhe Ekamelweni lokulala, noma ukuzama indlela ye-5 - 10 - 15. Kunzima kakhulu ukwazi ngendlebe uma ukukhala akufihli inkinga enkulu ngakho-ke kuyalulekwa ukuthi ukhulume nodokotela wezingane ukuze uthole ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuyeka umntwana akhale kancane. Ukuze ingane yethu ihlobanise imbeleko yakhe nendawo yokuphumula nokuzola, singakhetha ukulala embhedeni wayo esikhundleni sokugona ezingalweni zethu. Qaphela futhi namabhodlela ezingane phakathi nobusuku: uketshezi oluningi lungenye yezimbangela eziyinhloko zokuvuka kwasebusuku. Singamane sihlole ukuthi ingane yethu ayishisi kakhulu, futhi ayinawo amahloni, ngaphandle kokuyivusa ibhodlela noma ukuyishintsha.
Ukulala kahle kubalulekile ekukhuleni kwengane. Phakathi kweminyaka engu-0 no-6 ubudala, izigaba ezihlukene zizolandelana ukuze usana lwethu ekugcineni lulale ubusuku bonke, bese lwamukela isikhathi sokulala futhi ekugcineni lulale ngokuzolile futhi luphumule ukuze luhambisane nezinsuku ezinde zesikole ... Futhi uma amathiphu ambalwa angasebenza. kithina bazali, ngeshwa awekho izindlela zokupheka eziyisimangaliso ngaphambi kokuba sifike lapho!
