Ushwankathelo

Ixesha le-Nap linokusindisa ubomi. Iikhefu ziyimfuneko kwiintsana. Kwaye, ezi ngxowa zimfutshane zexesha zinokunika abazali abatsha ikhefu elincinci lokuphumla okanye, masijongane nalo, ukuze senze izinto.

Ngaphandle kwento yokuba iintsana zithathe ikhefu, inkqubo ayisoloko iza ngaphandle kweenyembezi. Unokuzifumana ukwimeko apho umntwana wakho ekhala kwaye kubonakala ngathi akakwazi ukulala ngaphandle koncedo lwakho.

Nazi iindlela ezimbalwa onokuzenza ukuze usebenze ngale meko:

• hlala nomntwana wakho bade balale
• mabakhale
• tsiba ixesha lokulala, elingacetyiswanga

Iminyaka, oogqirha babantwana bacebisa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zoqeqesho lokulala, kubandakanya ukukhala (i-CIO). Nangona kunjalo, abanye ababoneleli ngezempilo banenkxalabo enkulu malunga nale ndlela.

Ithini indlela yokukhala?

Indlela ye-CIO yifilosofi yokuba abantwana abalilayo xa belaliswa baya kuthi ekugqibeleni bafunde ukuzilalisa ngaphandle kongenelelo lwakho ngokubabamba, ukubanyikimisa, okanye ukubondla de balale.

Kubazali abatsha, oku kunokuba luxinzelelo ngakumbi. Gcina ukhumbula, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ukukhala kuqheleke kakhulu ngexesha lokulala, ngakumbi kwiintsana. Ukukhala kwabo kuhlala kuqhubeka okwemizuzu embalwa.

Indlela yoqobo ye-CIO yavela okokuqala ngenxa yenkxalabo yezempilo. Abazali bakhuthazwe ukuba bayeke abantwana babo bakhale kwangoko nge-1880s njengendlela yokuthintela intsholongwane.

Umbono yayikukuba xa uthe waluchukumisa usana lwakho kancinci, abanakufane bagule. Le ndlela sele iguqukele kwindlela yoqeqesho lokulala kwiintsana ezindala kuneenyanga ezi-4 ukuya kwezi-6. Ngokusisiseko ufundisa umntwana wakho kwangethuba ngendlela yokulala.

Kulabo bavumelana nokusebenzisa uqeqesho lokulala, le nkqubo ayithethi ukuba uvumele umntwana wakho akhale kangangeeyure.

Uqeqesho lokulala ebusuku, isindululo sokuya kukujonga umntwana wakho ukuba ukukhala kuhlala ngaphezulu kwemizuzu embalwa kwaye unike isiqinisekiso. Unokwazi ukusebenzisa iindlela ezifanayo zokulala emini.

Ukuba ulandela indlela ye-CIO, ayicetyiswa into yokuba uthathe umntwana wakho, kuba oku kuya kubadida kuphela wakuba ubabeke phantsi kwakhona ukuze balale.

Iindlela zokulila

Iindlela zokulila ngexesha lokulala

1. Abantwana bafunda ukonwaba okanye balale bodwa ngexesha lekhefu.
2. Abazali banokwenza okungaphezulu ukuba umntwana wabo uthatha ubuthongo ngempumelelo okanye uyakwazi ukudlala ngokuzolileyo bebodwa ngexesha lokulala.
3. Umntwana wakho ekugqibeleni angonwaba ngakumbi ngexesha lokulala.

Abo bavumelana nale ndlela bathi ukuba uhlala uphazamisana nexesha le-nap, kuya kuthatha ixesha elide ukuba umntwana wakho afunde ukuthatha i-naps eyedwa. Oku kunokuba yingxaki, njengoko ii-naps zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekukhuleni kwabantwana abasaqalayo.

Kubalulekile ukuba uchaphazele imeko yakho yengqondo kunye neyengqondo xa usebenzisa indlela ye-CIO.

Kwiintsapho ezininzi ezinomntu omnye okanye ababini kuphela ekhaya, ukulala ngokunempumelelo kuthathwa njengokufuneka. Bayakuvumela ukuba ube nexesha lokuzikhathalela kwaye wenze izinto.

Iinkxalabo kunye neziphumo ezibi

Umngcipheko wokulila ngexesha lokulala

1. Ezinye iingcali zithi kukho iingxaki zengqondo ngokuvumela umntwana wakho ukuba akhale.
2. Ukumemeza kunokubangela uxinzelelo kubazali nakubantwana.
3. Ukumemeza kunokubangela iimvakalelo zokungazithembi kubantwana.

Ngaphandle kwezibonelelo zokuvumela umntwana wakho akhale ngexesha lokulala, kukho impikiswano malunga nokubakho kweziphumo zexesha elide.

Ezinye iingcali zengqondo zibonisa ukungonwabi ngenxa yomonakalo wengqondo obangelwa kukusebenzisa indlela ye-CIO. Kukho inkxalabo engakumbi ukuba yenziwe ngokungalunganga okanye ngaphandle kokuthatha iminyaka yomntwana okanye inqanaba lokukhula.

Ezinye iinkxalabo zibandakanya:

• ukonyuka kwamanqanaba ecortisol, ihormone yoxinzelelo
• umonakalo we-vagus nerve, enokuthi ikhokelele kwimicimbi yokwetyisa
• iimvakalelo zokungazithembi
• ukungakwazi ukuthemba abanye
• iingxaki zobudlelwane kamva ebomini

Okwangoku, olunye uphando luyaziphikisa ezi ziphumo zibi. Uphononongo luka-2016 olubandakanya iintsana ezingama-43 lufumanise ukuba iinguqulelo ezimbini zendlela ye-CIO azinangxaki zexesha elide, kubandakanya imicimbi yokuziphatha okanye yeemvakalelo.

Umele ukuba umntwana wakho ulala ixesha elingakanani ngosuku?

Ukwazi ukuba umntwana wakho kufuneka alale ixesha elingakanani yenye into ephambili kwimpumelelo yexesha lokulala.

NgokweSizwe sokulala iSiseko (i-NSF), iintsana ezisandul 'ukuzalwa zihlala zithatha izihlandlo ezibini ukuya kwezine ngosuku ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezimbini ngexesha. Njengokuba abantwana bekhula kunyaka wokuqala, inani le-naps lidla ngokuhla liye kumaxesha amabini ngosuku.

Ukulila okanye ukungalili?

Kukho iingxoxo kumacala omabini engxoxo. Ukuba uyayixhasa indlela ye-CIO, uya kufuna ukudala ukungaguquguquki kwaye uncede ukufundisa abantwana bakho ukuba bakhulise iipateni zokulala ezisempilweni ngokwabo.

Ukuba awusebenzisi le ndlela, unokuba ukhathazekile kukuba iziphumo ezingalunganga ezinokubakho zigqwesa naziphi na izibonelelo zokuzimela komntwana, okanye impilo-ntle yengqondo kunye nengqondo yabazali.

Ukuba ukhathazekile malunga nendlela ye-CIO, zikho iindlela onokuthi uncede umntwana wakho alale ngeempumlo ezifuneka kakhulu.

I-Mayo Clinic, umzekelo, icebisa ukuseta imeko kunye nokuhambelana nexesha owamisa ngalo usana lwakho ukuba lulele. Kwakhona, i-NSF icebisa ukuba ulalise umntwana wakho xa esozela, ungalindi de alale ngokupheleleyo.

Ngaba ukukhala kukhuselekile?

Ekugqibeleni, njengakweminye imibuzo emininzi yokuba ngumzali, isigqibo sesakho ekufuneka usenzile. Ezinye iintsana ziyaziqhelanisa nendlela yeCIO, ngelixa ezinye zingakwenzi oko.

Oku kusekwe kwizinto ezininzi, kubandakanya ubudala, iipateni zokulala, ubushushu, indlela yokuphila, kunye nempilo iyonke. Ugqirha wakho unokucebisa ezona ndlela zilungileyo zomntwana wakho kwaye anike iingcebiso ukuba unengxaki.

Yikhalile indlela kunye neentsana

Njengoko usana lwakho lufikelela kunyaka wokuqala wobomi, ixesha labo lokulala liya kutshintsha. Ke, indlela ye-CIO ifuna ukujongwa ngokutsha kwabantwana abancinci.

Kule nqanaba lobomi, umntwana wakho omncinci unokufuna uhlengahlengiso kwishedyuli yabo yokulala ukuba ufumanisa ukuba abadinwanga nje ngexesha labo lokulala. Oku kunokubandakanya ukulala kwangoko okanye kamva ebusuku, kuxhomekeke kwiimfuno zabo.

Ixesha lixhomekeke ekubeni umntwana wakho uya kulala nini naxa evuka kusasa.

Akunangqondo ukulindela ukuba umntwana athathe ngokuzithandela ukuba akakadinwa okwangoku. Kwangelo xesha, uya kufuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba ufumana umntwana wakho ukuba alale phambi kokuba adinwe kakhulu.

Nje ukuba wenze inkqubo yokulala, kulula ukunamathela kuyo. Ukuba uthatha isigqibo sokungayisebenzisi indlela ye-CIO xa umntwana wakho elusana, kuya kuba nzima ngakumbi ukuqala xa sele bekhulile.

Gcina ixesha lokulala kunye nexesha lokulala elisebenza kakuhle kusapho lwakho. Nangona kunjalo, ungakhathazeki kakhulu ukuba inkqubo yakho iphazamiseka ngamanye amaxesha ngenxa yesiganeko esikhethekileyo.

Abantwana abaneminyaka engama-1 ukuya ku-5 baya kuthatha i-nap. Ikliniki yaseMayo ithi ubude baloo nap buhlala phakathi kweeyure ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu. Kuya kufuneka ulungelelanise ixesha lokulala lomntwana wakho ukuze uqiniseke ukuba ii-naps zakhe aziphazamisi ukulala ebusuku.

Esinye sezona zitshixo zibalulekileyo kwimpumelelo yexesha lokuphumla kukwazi ukumisela iipateni zokulala komntwana wakho.

Abanye abantwana bathatha ubuthongo obungcono kusasa, ngelixa abanye bephumelela ngakumbi ukulala emva kwemini. Ukungqinelana kubaluleke ngaphezu kwelona xesha losuku. Umntwana wakho uya kuba nentsebenziswano ngakumbi ngexesha lokulala xa ubabeka embhedeni ngexesha elifanayo yonke imihla.

Ukuthatha

Ithemba lokuvumela umntwana wakho ukuba akhale ngalo sisiqingatha senkqubo xa kusenziwa amaxesha okulala.

Njengokuba umntwana wakho esiba mdala-ngakumbi xa eneminyaka yobudala besikolo- banokuba neenkani kwaye bangavumi ukuthatha i-naps. Ukuba nencwadi enye okanye ezimbini abazonwabelayo okanye imisebenzi ethe cwaka abanokuyenza bebodwa kunokubanceda balale.

Uninzi lwabantwana badinga ukulala kude kube neminyaka eyi-5. Phambi kokuba ucinge ukuba umntwana wakho mdala kakhulu ukuba angalala, cinga ngokulungisa imeko yabo.

Unokufuna ukubabandakanya kwezinye izinto ezidlalayo kungekudala ngaphambi kwexesha lokulala ukuze ubadinise kwaye balungele ukulala.

Abanye abantwana, nangona kunjalo, oku kubenza babe ngamanxeba okuba baphumle kwaye balale kancinci. Ukuba kunjalo, cwangcisa umsebenzi ozolileyo, njengokufunda kunye nabo, ngaphambi nje kokuba balale.

Ukuba ubaqaphela ukuba bayalala, balalise ngaphambi kokuba batyhafe.

Kwangelo xesha, kukho izinto ofuna ukuziphepha.

Ukuvumela umntwana wakho ukuba asebenzise i-pacifier kulungile. Nangona kunjalo, ukubeka umntwana wakho embhedeni kunye nebhotile okanye indebe yokuthuthuzela akukhuthazwa. Oku kunokukhokelela ekubola kwamazinyo.

Ngokwe-NSF, nje ukuba umntwana wakho azive ekhululekile ngexesha lokulala, ekugqibeleni baya kuba nako ukulala ngaphandle kokukhathazeka. Kananjalo baya kuba nakho ukuzibuyisela ebuthongweni ukuba bavukile.

Kumanqanaba okuqala obomi bomntwana wakho, amaxesha okuphumla anempumelelo anokubonakala engenakwenzeka, ngakumbi ukuba awulali. Thuthuzelwa kukwazi ukuba umntwana wakho uya kuthi ekugqibeleni afikelele kweli nqanaba.
