Teaching children about personal hygiene- an essential life skill
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. We all are aware of this popular proverb. Following basic hygiene is a must for all age groups. Children especially are exposed to harmful bacteria and germs on a daily basis. So making them aware about hygiene and cleanliness must be the top priority. Basic habits of cleanliness include:
- Hand hygiene – We often see parents encouraging children to wash their hands regularly. Since most infections are spread through hands. Young children are often involved in gobbling food, thumb sucking, and fondling hands on soiled floors exposes them to the biggest health hazard.
Advise children to wash their hands before and after having every meal, after using the washroom, after disposing of the garbage, after cuddling an animal, after returning from school.
- Happy teeth, happy lives – Oral health plays a vital role in children’s lives. Children putting up with a good oral routine at the very beginning stage of growth is the best practice that dentists recommend worldwide.
Inculcate the habit of brushing teeth twice a day among children. The dentists usually recommend a tiny amount of fluoride free toothpaste for children below 5 years.
- Happiness can be found in water – Bathing rituals contribute to an essential part of hygiene. Bathing twice a day is advisable for all age groups. A good antibacterial soap with a pleasant fragrance is all you need to get your children bathe. Make sure your child cleans his/hers private parts well.
- Good nails do not lie – Nail trimming on a weekly basis is also a highly recommended habit amongst the health experts. Germs and harmful bacteria dwelling in nail cuticles can pose a big health risk among young kids. I would personally recommend trimming nails after a shower since nails tend to be softer at that time.
- Do you have a handkerchief, then put it in your pocket – A person can get easily infected with your negligence. So instruct your children to cover their mouth and nose while coughing and sneezing.
Empower the children with good values, health and hygiene. Because it is the lifetime gift that they will carry forward on your behalf. So my friends, do not delay and bring in small habits into action starting from today.
