There is no doubt that a strong immune system is a basic key to the overall health. If your immunity suddenly weakens you are more likely to catch a flue. People whose immune system is very weak for a long time can even die of a flu - or develop serious illnesses including cancer. Take an example: when a woman undergoes a smear test and the results show very small, borderline changes on her cervix, doctors don't panic. She is advised to go home and come back in six months for another test. In most of the cases, the cervix cells come back to normal by themselves. In case the problem persists or gets worse, the treatment is required.
That shows us how our immune system can fight the malicious processes in our body and provide it self-defense. The small changes will appear when the body gets weaker - and there may be many reasons for that. Stress, a sudden life change, season (less sun and more depression in winter), too much pressure at work. When the crisis goes away and we are more relaxed, the body goes back to normal as well. In case this crisis persists and we are unable to fight against it, in sense of being unable to solve the problem and come back to the relaxed stage again, the body will be too weak to fight its inner threads too.
Now we come to an interesting correlation - if we are able to fight, our body can fight also. It basically means that if we are not afraid to face our problems and solve them to our satisfaction, our body will also be able to face the attacks of germs, viruses and malicious cells. If we give up in our daily life, our body will also start giving up.
We often hear that our generation has weaker immunity than the generation of our grandads. "Look at all the allergies and chronic diseases that people didn't know hundred years ago! Why is that?" Is it possible that previous generations could solve problems and conflicts better than us? The answer is - yes, it is possible.
Everything starts already in our early childhood, since the immune system gets built from the very first days of our life. And we must agree there is a difference in the way our grandads were raised and how we grew up - and even bigger difference we can spot in the way we are raising our own children. Our grandads had to walk to school two kilometers in any weather. We used to have bruises when examining the bushes. But when it comes to our own kids, we won't allow them to go for a walk when there is too much sun or too much cold and we advise them not to go through the bush as there might be thorns, snakes, holes and other possible and impossible dangers waiting on every step.
Well, we cannot be blamed for that. We are much more informed than our grandads were at their times, so we know very well what can happen, as we heard something like that had happened before to someone else. We read a lot, we hear a lot. And of course, we want to protect our children and avoid everything that can potentially harm them.
But sometimes we go too far. "I won't take my little bundle to that playground again, last time there was a boy who pushed him." "Was she ugly to you? Don't worry, mamma is here, just don't talk to that girl from now on." "Didn't you find friends at this school? Don't worry, we will find you another school." We want to protect our children not just from physical harm, but also from any emotional discomfort they might experience. And here comes our mistake.
Certain situations, appropriately to the child's age, a child should learn to face and solve on his own - naturally with our support and guidance. The society has nowadays a strong appeal on values of kindness and peace, any sign of aggression gets condemned. We want our children to be polite and kind - therefore we rather recommend them to run out of a conflict as it is the only way how to stay polite and avoid emotional harm at the same time. We forget how much we actually learned from our own conflicts and we don't realize our children are also going through their own lessons.
Nobody likes arguments - but if someone wants to argue with us or acts in an arrogant and inappropriate way, we cannot stay silent. And we also have to teach our children to stand up for themselves and speak up.
With teaching our children to face the problems, sort out and overcome their emotional harms we are raising individuals with a strong mind and steady emotions. That will help them to handle critical situations when bigger and on their own. And it will also build them a good immune system because a strong mind is generating a strong body.
