The most interesting facts about children and for children

Children make life funny, unpredictable and sometimes even crazy, but incredibly happy. They bribe with their spontaneity, sincerity and trust in the world. But is everyone aware of the life of kids and older children? This article contains the most unusual and interesting facts about children.

Amazing facts about the smallest

When a newborn appears in the house, it seems so fragile and defenseless ... Incredible, but this impression is largely deceptive. Kids have unusual abilities, due to which they are hardier than they seem. These interesting facts about children of the earliest age have been proved by scientists, but it is not worthwhile to check their "working capacity" at home with newly-made parents.

1. If you dip your baby to 6 months in water, instincts will make him hold his breath and swim like a dog. After a baby reaches the age of six, if this unconscious skill has not been fixed, it disappears.
2. Until the same age, infants have a unique ability to breathe and swallow simultaneously. After 6-7 months, babies lose this feature. But after six months of life they learn breath through the mouth, babies of an earlier age get air only through the nose.
3. In newborns, a grasping reflex is strongly developed. The baby can stay for some time in the air, clinging only to the fingers of an adult. Thus it is proved that the child of the first days of life has a stronger grip than a month old baby.

However, do not experiment with this feature: despite the strength of the tiny palms, the baby can uncouple the fingers at any time.

Sensitiveness of the little ones

It's impossible to get over at:

• Cute features of toddlers;

3. Infants affect mother as a real drug. Even during pregnancy, the body of a woman produces a specific hormone - oxytocin. He gives an uplifting mood and serene tranquility. During labor, a powerful release of oxytocin is provoked. And subsequently new doses of the hormone enter the body when the woman:

• Cares for her baby;
• Touches his skin;
• Kisses the top of the head;
• Wears and pumps on his hands;
• Feeds him.

3. Babies can sleep without closing their eyelids, with their eyes open.
4. Being in the womb, the future baby can heal her damaged organs, sending "to the rescue" the unique stem cells in their properties.

Children - "transformers"

Newborns have almost 100 bones more than an adult. Gradually they unite, transform, and their number becomes smaller. Up to this point, the bones of toddlers are more flexible and springy, better adapted to shocks. This explains why children often fall, but rarely get serious fractures and injuries.

And one more, where they are inaccurately thrown. On the first the inscription reads: "So bicycles are put by good children", and on the second - "So good children do not put bicycles".
3. The real record-breakers for the birth of twins or twins in the world are women from Nigeria: as a result of every 11 births, more than 1 baby is born. But in Japan it happens much less often - 4 cases per 1000 pregnancies.
