By Dr. ALLEN G. IRELAND
A Code for Child Health
While the industrial codes we
read about may come and go, be
popular or unpopular, a code for
child health will always be a
requisite of success
ful parenthood. Let
us review the ele-
ments out of which
such a code should
be made.
I believe most
parents would list
first: the quart of
milk daily, taken in different
forms; two or more vegetables,
with at least one the green leafy
variety daily; some fresh fruit;
meat, fish and eggs; and bread and
butter.
The amount of sleep is impor
tant; restful, quiet sleep.
The
young child should have an after-
noon rest in addition. Fresh air
and sunshine must be in the health
budget in liberal allotments. And
the diminished sunshine of winter
calls for one of the fish liver oils
as a regular item in the code.
Be sure that the child’s right to ,
playtime is honored. Let nothing
interfere with this natural heri
tage. Permit some time every day
when the child may do as he
pleases. Consider seriously the an
nual health examination by your |
: family physician and dentist. In
sure against smallpox and diph
theria. There are the routine daily
health habits such as cleanliness
and elimination to be added to the
code. Fina'ly do everything pos-
sible to bring happiness to the
child and to make him feel secure
and safe.
Give him companion-
ship; laugh with him; encourage
his confidences.
Next week Dr. Ireland will write
about Health Protection.
