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.

Of course, principals and teachers in co-educational schools should be aware of this characteristic and not treat them in the same way. This is why I sometimes say that this is important when choosing a school because most schools are co-educational and rarely design a curriculum for gender differences between boys and girls, and unfortunately, the curriculum is more favorable to girls. Their concentration is much better than that of boys, so generally speaking, teachers feel that teaching in girls’ schools is like teaching in heaven when they attend classes. I dare not say the other one is hell, but the challenge is great. Boys’ energy is unlimited; the first thing to do is to release their energy. I always advise parents, “If you have a son, please have more involvement from the father.” It’s really hard for mothers to accompany their children to play soccer and then go cycling every day. As I always say, mother has never been a boy, so she naturally doesn’t understand why he would be like this. His butt just doesn’t stick to the chair, and his feet are
