above my son's hand injury from class.
Children often receive scars from playing sports. Whether it's a cleat to the knee in youth soccer, a face mask bump in peewee level football or a cut finger on an ice skate, children pick up cuts and scrapes quite easily while playing sports. Sometimes not related to sports children can get hurt by themselves.
Playing outdoors is also a fun way to work out. We used to only hear about obesity in children as a Western problem, but now Malaysia has one of the highest rates of obesity in Asia. I think it’s really important to start teaching our children how to be healthy at a young age. Obviously we don’t need to be putting our children on treadmills, but I think that encouraging them to play outside on their bicycles and run around is a good start to staying active and healthy. I really try and encourage my child to play outside as much as our schedules permit.
I would really like my child to eventually take up sports. Playing simple playground games is a good way to build on their ability to play sports later at school. I think children who don’t enjoy sports may not do so because they didn’t learn some of the basic motor skills necessary to pick up sports easily. So I think to help children develop that foundation, we need to encourage them to play at a young age. Even if it’s just playing with a skipping rope or crawling through a jungle gym.
Bonding time with my son is important so if I have time, I bring him for animation or his favourite movies. I also let him build confidence, because he's shy but he has interest to join contest such as
Halloween costume contest or
Fancy Dress Contest.
My son has a chin cut before the nose cut, after the chin's cut heal then nose cut happened.
Sometimes, these injuries may result in permanent scars so it is important for parents to try and reduce the size and visibility of scars on their children.
Most skin injuries can cause scars and keloids. In response to the damage, the body attempts to repair the wound but in the healing process, scar formulation can occur. Typically, scars lack hair follicies and sweat glands, are less elastic than original skin and tend to be lighter in color.
There are several types of scars, common ones include Hypertrophic/Raised Scars, Keloids (raised scars that tend to extend beyond original wound boundaries) and Hypotrophic/Depressed Scars.
