With the arrival of the summer heat, it’s normal that appetites drop even in small children, who with the good weather would happily spend all day outside running and playing with friends. So as not to miss even a minute of their precious time playing together, children would even skip lunch and snack-time too! But the season itself helps us out by offering seasonal produce and tasty solutions that can provide a healthy, nutritious treat for our children. (continua…)

All parents, even those allergic to arithmetic, undertake willingly formulas and charts just to calculate the expected height and to control the growth of their children.
The easiest way to judge whether the growth of a child is within the limits of physiological variability or spill over into the pathological, for a delay or an acceleration, are percentiles charts.
The concept is simple: even though each child has its times and its growth pattern, we can compare him with the average of a large group of healthy children of the same sex, the same race and the same environment, and draw a growth curve noting periodically his measurements.

Do you remember Linus’ blanket? That became famous with Schultz’s Peanuts? Well, perhaps not even its creator knew, but it was a transitional object.
The term is introduced by the psychoanalyst Winnicott, indicating the tendency of children between four and twelve months, but sometimes in a later age, to become attached to a teddy bear, a rag of cloth, a toy that inspires safety, especially before falling asleep and in moments of separation from the mother at home or during your family holidays in Riccione.
Winnicott also notes that many children, while not revealing attachment to a particular object, show a particular sensitivity to sound or light, acts or habits, which play in some way the same essential function to symbolize the relationship of union with the mother.

Sugar is the most common carbohydrate.
Easily assimilated, it provides energy to cells, heart, brain and all other organs.
Effective antidote to counter the acetone in children, it would also be a natural painkiller, even able to relieve the pain caused by injections.
Food available in nature in fruits, vegetables, cereals and potatoes, it is mainly derived from beet and cane sugar.
But if it has all these virtues, because the trend is moving increasingly into food sugar free?
In a balanced diet, the space for sugar is reduced.

Who asks “Is it good or bad?“, we say the sun is good in moderation.
Among other things, it keeps the bony capital and stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D, whose anti-inflammatory and anticancer effectiveness is scientifically proven.
The important thing is to avoid overexposure.
If this is true for all, is even more true for children, whose thinner and fragile skin easily risks sunburn.

Yesterday in a Riccione Family Hotels’ mini club a child asked us: “What are we made of?”.
Before we could answer, a discussion between our mascots exploded…
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on”, Asso said, quoting Shakespeare.
“Of the same substance of the universe!” Pepe, aspiring Newton, replied.
In the confusion that followed we have not answered to our little guest… we do it now!
Our body is not unlike from the rest of the matter in the universe. Indeed, the predominant elements in our body are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
In our organism all these elements combine to form water, essential for life, and the basic organic compounds: fats, proteins and sugars. (continua…)

Be quiet, they are not affected by the St. Vitus’ dance. If your children can not stand still on the beach of Riccione is because of the great number of sports they can practice!
The baths of the Green Pearl of the Adriatic, in fact, are used to do great things with an eye to small.
Each sports course on the beach provides therefore different levels: competitive, amateur, novice and baby.
So it is not uncommon that among the participants in a lesson there are entire families, with mum, dad and children that are perhaps followed by different instructors, but all facing the same sport. And you can already bet on who will become the best. (continua…)

Good, maybe very good, food can sometimes cause allergies and intolerances.
In predisposed people, for example, a strawberry is enough to cause swollen lips, stomach cramps, itching, or worse, runny nose, cough, diarrhea…
And this also, indeed especially, in young age.
Breastfeeding appears to provide some protection.
And fortunately, in most cases, food allergies pass off reaching three years of age. (continua…)

In the past doctors, in front of the bronchitis of their young patients, just prescribed a syrup.
Today, fortunately, pediatricians are increasingly trying to prevent the typical childhood malaises, and, in situations similar to the previous one,  suggest thermal cures.
Yes because thermal treatments are very effective for treating and preventing respiratory diseases.
Aerosol, direct inhalation, nebulization, are indicated to treat sinusitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, tonsillitis and for the prevention of respiratory allergies.
But there’s more: active ingredients that are contained in thermal waters rise the immune system of children.
And thermal baths are good for easing the problems of another troublesome disease of childhood: atopic dermatitis.
No wonder then if in recent years, spas are more and more a destination for families with children. (continua…)
