Personal hygiene helps one
in keeping diseases at bay and our bodies healthy. It also has a huge impact on
mental well-being as it fosters self-esteem and confidence.
Personal hygiene should be
a way of life, a habit so engrossed in our routine that it must become a part
of our behaviour. Only parents can inspire their children to follow and
maintain personal hygiene.
Parents need to school
their young ones and help them understand the importance of having good
personal hygiene.
Below are a few activities
that need to become a part of every child’s routine:
1.
Brushing
their teeth twice every day.
2.
Bathing
daily with soap.
3.
Cutting
nails frequently.
4.
Washing
hands with soap before eating/drinking anything, after coming home, after
touching any outside material, after using the toilet, etc.
5.
To
change clothes as soon as they come home after playing outside or from school.
6.
To
not eat anything which has fallen/dropped on the floor.
7.
To
never pick your nose.
8.
To
keep outside footwear separate than the footwear being used inside the house.
9.
To use
a handkerchief while sneezing or coughing.
10.To always use clean undergarments and
socks.
11.To always wear fresh clothes.
There are so many diseases
that spread with the exchange of germs and take a heavy toll. If your child can
start developing healthy habits, then not only personal hygiene will be
developed but also many diseases will be avoided.
At Childventures Early Learning Academy, we partner with families in the
development of children to their fullest potential.
Our children are offered
the highest quality childcare services and instill in young minds the
importance of moral values, character formation, and respect for others.
