If a child frequently experiences recurrent respiratory infections, such as frequent colds and coughs, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is also caused by deficiency of Qi in the lung and spleen and deficiency of the lung and spleen, leading to a weakened immune system. These children often feel tired due to lung qi deficiency and may lack energy when speaking. If they have spleen deficiency, they may experience loss of appetite or easily have diarrhea. From the Chinese medicine standpoint, the focus is on taking care of the lung and spleen, which involves nurturing their qi to enhance their resistance.
If a child has just recovered from an illness but quickly falls ill again or experiences recurrent respiratory infections, it falls under the category of recurrent respiratory infections. For example, after recovering from an illness, the child may catch another cold within one or two weeks, leading to another respiratory infection. From the Chinese medicine perspective, it can be determined as recurrent respiratory infections in children, where the frequency and number of illnesses are higher than average.
Or it could be that in the past, it wasn’t like this. Previously, you might have gotten sick three times a year, but this year, it’s possible that within just six months, you’ve already been falling ill every month or once every two weeks. In such cases, it’s possible that there are underlying issues with your child’s health.
How can diet effectively prevent colds? The key is to have a light and balanced diet, pay attention to nutrition, and maintain a proper balance between activity and rest. In daily meals, it’s important to consume more vitamin C and vitamin A to strengthen the body’s immune system. Parents can prepare carrot soup and try to minimize the consumption of fried, heavily seasoned, and hard-to-digest foods for children because their digestive capacity is still weak, which is a characteristic of spleen deficiency. If children frequently consume fast food or indulge in hard-to-digest and highly seasoned snacks, their bodies may accumulate phlegm and heat. This accumulation, combined with the invasion of external pathogenic factors, can create a susceptibility to frequent colds.
If you want recommended soup, there is a type of soup called “Yukpingfung San.” The main ingredients of it are astragalus, white atractylodes, and saposhnikovia root. When preparing the soup, we can use these three medicinal herbs along with a lean meat and a few honey dates.

如果小朋友經常性出現反覆呼吸道的感染，即經常患上感冒和咳嗽。在中醫角度而言，也是因為他肺脾氣虛及肺脾不足而引起，即個人抵抗力下降了。這些小朋友很多時候因肺氣虛，可能經常感到疲倦或是說話的時候沒有力氣等。如果小朋友脾虛的話，很多時會感到食慾不振又或容易腹瀉。以中醫角度而言，主要便是照顧肺脾，即是要照顧肺脾之氣，讓他能夠增強抵抗力。
他在很短的時間裡剛剛痊癒了卻再次患上感冒，患上感冒後又痊癒，經常性這樣出現，便屬於反覆呼吸道感染。譬如小朋友這次生病了，可能剛痊癒了一、兩個星期後，又再次感冒，又再次出現呼吸道感染。在中醫角度而言，已經可以判斷為小兒反覆呼吸道感染，即生病的頻率和次數比一般人多。
又或是可能以前不是這樣的，以前你可能一年會生病三次，但是今年你可能只過了半年，卻已經每個月生病一次，又或是兩個星期便生病一次，這樣子就可能是你的小朋友的身體出現了問題。
如何通過飲食來有效地預防感冒？其實最主要便是飲食清淡面、注意營養及勞逸合適，即運動和休息時間要取得平衡。日常飲食中，要吸收多一點維他命C及維他命A等，增強自身的抵抗力。家長可煲青紅蘿蔔湯，盡量不要讓小朋友吃太多煎炸、濃味食物及難消化的食物，因為小朋友的消化能力還是很弱，即脾常不足的特徵。如果平常天天吃快餐或是天天吃一些很難消化及濃味的零吃，小朋友的身體會累積痰熱。這些痰熱加上外界的病邪入侵身體，就會形成一些容易感冒的體質。
如果要推薦湯水，有一種湯水稱為「玉屏風散」。「玉屏風散」的主要材料是黃耆、白术和防風這三種藥材，如果我們煲湯水，也可以用這三種藥材，再放一塊瘦肉，放少許蜜棗。
本校很高興榮獲2022年度「關愛校園」榮譽，本校會繼續積極推廣及實踐關愛文化。
Parenting Tips

In today’s society with advanced information and fast-paced information dissemination, children inevitably come into contact with various healthy and unhealthy information from a young age. For example, social networks are filled with verbal violence, and computer and mobile games are filled with bloody fights and war violence, which may lead to imitative behavior in the next generation.
From a biological perspective, violence is an inherent instinct of living beings; otherwise, survival would be impossible in the law of the jungle. Newborn babies are closest to their instincts, but the cultivation of rationality is a matter of upbringing and the responsibility of parents.
Parents should try to guide their children to reflect on the harm of violence:
1. Violence cannot solve people’s problems; it can only solve the problems of those who are problematic.
2.We live in a world full of challenges. Since rationality cannot solve all problems, violence certainly cannot.
3.Rationality sows the seeds of civilization, while violence spreads the poison of hatred in society.
4.”An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”? When will the cycle of revenge end?
5.When others have different opinions from you, can you try to think: What common ground do we share? What can we share together?
6.There are no two identical individuals in the world. If violence is used to eliminate others just because they are different from you, the demise
of humanity is not far away.
7.Schools teach Chinese history and Western history, and the history of humanity is a history of violence. Regarding the last global war – World
War II, it was a self-inflicted massacre of the entire human race, resulting in the annihilation of a population equivalent to ten times that of
Hong Kong. What problems did it actually solve?
8.Excluding individual regional conflicts, today’s era of peace and the stable, prosperous, and harmonious state of society are by no means
inevitable.
9.Only with social stability and world peace can humanity have the space to pursue knowledge, advance technology, develop the economy,
and improve social and cultural life. Only by distancing ourselves from violence can humanity have a future.

現今的社會資訊發達，訊息傳播速度快，小朋友自小就無可避免接觸各種健康和不健康的資訊。例如社交網絡充斥語言暴力，電腦和手機遊戲更是充滿血腥打鬥和戰爭暴力，結果可能令下一代有樣學樣。
從生物學的角度看，暴力是生物的天性本能，否則在弱肉強食的森林裡，就不能存活。剛出生的孩子，離本能最近，但理性的培養，卻是後天的功夫，也是家長的責任。
家長應嘗試引導孩子，反思暴力的禍害：
- 暴力不能解決人的問題，只能解決有問題的人。
- 我們活在一個充滿難題的世界，既然理性也解決不了的難題，用暴力更不能解決。
- 理性為人類埋下文明的種子，暴力為社會散播仇恨的毒素。
- 以牙還牙，以眼還眼？冤冤相報何時了？
- 當別人和你想法不一樣，可否嘗試想一想：大家有甚麼共同點？有甚麼可以一起分享呢？
- 世界上沒有兩個相同的人，假如只因對方和你不同，就用暴力消滅對方，那人類的滅亡就為時不遠。
- 學校有教中國歷史和西方歷史，而人類的歷史就是暴力的歷史。對上一次的全球大戰 ─ 第二次世界大戰，全人類自相殘殺，消滅了 10 個香港的人口，結果解決了甚麼問題呢？
- 不計個別地區衝突，今日全人類的和平盛世，社會的穩定繁華和和平福樂的境況，絕非必然。
- 只有社會穩定，世界和平，人類才有空間追求學問，推進科技，發展經濟，改善社會文化生活。只有遠離暴力，人類才有將來。
