Healthcare Advice

Andrey Serov, head of the manual therapy department of the Center A.G. Gritsenko: “The correct determination of the height and size of objects is important, because they directly affect your child’s well-being. For example, the optimal table height is selected very simply. Let the child sit on a chair at a right angle to bend his elbows. At normal height, the hands will be flush with the countertop. Avoid using fluorescent lights - it’s best to use natural light. The arrangement of furniture should not deprive the child of a place to stretch and run. You need a place for outdoor activities, as you can’t sit in one place for more than 40-45 minutes. ”

Children's room and furniture:

Chair. The height is selected simply - the back during landing fits snugly against the back of the chair, and the legs bent at a right angle freely reach the floor. The back of the chair should be comfortable.

Table. On the tabletop are placed: an expanded album, a table lamp, a stand with pens and pencils. You can place lighting on the wall, thereby saving space on the table. It is advisable to have a bedside table - two to three drawers, for useful little things. There should be enough space under the table so that the child stretches his legs.

Cupboard. Low and stable - corresponds to the growth of your child so that he can independently decompose his things.

Bed. The non-separable design with a low back will suit most. If there is not enough free space, buy a “book” sofa, or equipped with a pull-out mechanism. A properly designed children's room can play an important role in the development of the baby.
