Children's Immune System

The immune system in your children's bodies as like as in your body, but  with some differences. The difference lies in that the children's immune system is still acquiring the resistance required to repel infections and illnesses which attack your children.

In the immune system, white blood cells are considered as an important part. This because they work to find the exotic materials and objects that enter your child's body and caused diseases for him, then begin to destroy it. These white cells spread through the body of children and the nodes through the lymph vessels. These organisms are called antigens which caused diseases in the child body. And whenever children are exposed to new antigens, their bodies begin building immunities to them. And so that, at the beginning of entering the pre-school, the children are more prone to frequent colds and infections. But this is a normal part in building their immune system.

The immune system is responsible for knowing the difference between natural materials and the other foreign in the body, as well as protect the body from infections and foreign substances. The growth of the immune system to the child begins at birth, when the child receives initial immunities of the placenta. Every time your child is exposed to the disease, the body works on the growth of antibodies to fight it. Breastfeeding provides additional antibodies and protection from disease.

Parents can also help to strengthen their children's immune system through several ways.
