### 1.- It is very important to observe the daily routine.
First, sleep and wakefulness. If the child's restless sleep persists, breathing exercises and quiet games will help. Also, with children's insomnia, various types of creative activities (drawing, modeling, etc.) help, but it's best to turn off the TV as long as possible.

### 2.- Provide confidence and security.
It is very important to make it clear to the child that he is safe, that his close people are always there and ready to help. Take every convenient opportunity to hug your baby, hold her hand, say a warm word.

### 3.- Keep you informed of changes.
If the child has a change of scenery (moving, going to kindergarten, vacation), he should be prepared for this in advance. He constantly talks about what awaits him.

### 4.- Good food.
It is important to control the child's nutrition: he must receive a sufficient amount of protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates. The diet should have as much dietary fiber (fiber) as possible, which is rich in vegetables, fruits

### 5.- Perform exercises outdoors.
Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to deal with stress at any age. Reasonable stress helps relieve emotional stress and increase a child's stress resistance.

>> Overdoing the amount of responsibilities delegated to the child, making excessive demands and criticism lead to an emotional lack of control and stress. In addition, changes in the family context and problems within the home can also affect it. Be careful.
