Jointness is a condition that is more common after one year of age and is accompanied by difficulty breathing in situations that require crying. Usually, children just become quiet, turn blue or pale, as if they are out of breath, and then continue to cry with a deep breath.
In some cases, this period of crying and not being able to breathe properly ends with a general contraction and loss of consciousness.
Depending on the accompanying slowdown in heartbeat, the seizures sometimes appear pale and sometimes bruising. Cries that trigger participation may be due to different reasons. The most common ones are not doing what they want and falling in sudden and unexpected ways.
Many parents are used to the initial period of the participation stage (crying blue and feeling out of breath). Beyond this, when loss of consciousness develops or a condition such as a seizure occurs, fears for the child's life rightfully arise. However, the process that causes loss of consciousness occurs as a precaution as a result of the brain not receiving enough oxygen for a short time. The child usually regains consciousness in a short time, as normal breathing function will return with loss of consciousness. Therefore, there is no life-threatening or brain damage due to participation.
The structures that carry oxygen in our blood contain iron. Iron deficiency reduces the body's ability to transmit oxygen, leading to anemia. Since there is no proper breathing during exercise, the decreased oxygen delivery becomes more evident in case of anemia (iron deficiency). Therefore, iron deficiency is treated in the treatment of participation.
But the most important factor is the attitude of the family during the crying that leads to participation. Since the intensity of the crying and past experiences make the family uneasy many times, every crying encounter leads to an extremely anxious, "Oh no" approach. This makes it easier for the child to get worse. Additionally, many children quickly learn that they can get what they want with a loud cry. Against all this, a conscious approach of the family, which is not afraid of crying and participating, ensures that the participation ends.
Participation can sometimes continue until the age of 7. Generally, the participants are waited until they are old enough to understand what is being said.
Participation is a problem of behavior that has been learned somewhere. Apart from understanding and solving some features such as constitutional and anemia, the treatment is for the family to remain calm. It is important to approach the child with a relaxed and reassuring attitude in situations that cause crying. Doing what he wants right away just because he's crying usually causes the agreement to settle. The solution is for parents to be conscious and cold-blooded.
