According to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, about 99% of the calcium in our bodies is stored in those areas. Calcium also helps our heart, muscles, and nerves function properly. If the body doesn't get enough calcium from daily intake, it will take what it needs from the bones, which can weaken them over time.

Por ejemplo, si tu niño(a) le quita un juguete a otro niño, colócate a su altura, míralo a los ojos y explícale: “Puedo ver que estás molesto, pero puedes decirle al niño ‘me gustaría jugar un ratito con ese juguete’”.

Ordenarle al niño que se retire a otro lugar no siempre funciona. Intenta acompañarlo dándole un momento para que se tranquilice y recupere el control de sí mismo. Por ejemplo, si el niño está arrojando bloques y gritando, en lugar de enviarlo a otra habitación como castigo, puedes pedirle que deje los bloques donde están y se aleje de ellos por unos minutos. Permanecer alejado de los juguetes le permitirá tranquilizarse y relajar su cuerpo (puede respirar hondo, beber agua, etc.), y conversar sobre cómo debería jugar con los bloques.
