Good hygiene habits
Good hygiene helps children to live a happier and healthier life. It also helps to reduce the risk of illness, build self-esteem and teach life skills.
Children like to copy. So if they see you washing your hands, and brushing your teeth, they'll be more likely to do it from an early age. It's important that children learn the importance of good hygiene habits. But some children may become anxious about keeping clean. Try to reassure them and explain what things they can do to keep them safe from germs.
