Hardening is an extremely important process that can make a person out of any person who is not afraid of winter or summer and can exist perfectly under many circumstances. Correct hardening of a child is nothing more than an investment in his health and his future. But this must be approached with the correct methodology.
Contrary to the fact that hardening is connected only with the use of ice water, you must start with the fact to ventilate the child’s room every evening, accustoming it to the streams of cool air. After that, every morning and evening you need to do so that the child goes to the balcony and breathes fresh air. The next stage, which is not unimportant, is a walk barefoot along the street, again, only in the fresh air.
All this is considered a preparatory process before hardening with water. This is followed by hardening in the shower, which should not always be contrasting, but on the principle of warm to cold. You can leave for this for more than one month before the child is ready to swim under cold water, and even more so, in the cold sea or ice hole.
Everything related to more serious types of hardening should occur only with careful control of a person who understands in this matter. The fact is that this procedure can both raise a common tone and health to the child, and harm. Everything should be in moderation and gradually.
