It is very important that our home observes practices conducive to keeping clean and healthy surroundings. Cleanliness is very important in our places, so to make us free from diseases brought by bacteria and viruses. When our house is clean, there will be no room for insects or pests that contribute to unhealthy living.
When we say good hygiene, it is not only for our body, but it counts on how we manage the place where we live. Our children investigate us on how we behave. We must set as good examples because other ways they learn is through observing from others. First, in our house, let us make sure that we have trash bins available whenever we need them. One way of teaching our small kids is by showing them that we put our things where they should belong. Our trash in the bins and other stuff in place.
Teaching our kids depend on their ages. Our school children of course can be directly taught on how to clean and arrange things. Our small kids like around 2-3 years old can be taught by showing them what we are doing by putting signs or colorful photos in some areas of our place. Cleanliness makes our surroundings a happy and peaceful place to stay.
Of course, personal hygiene is enormously important. This also starts from us guardians. We need to teach them good habits that we should apply regularly. These tips include: brushing our teeth every after meal, washing our hands before and after eating, proper toileting, wearing clean clothes all the time, eating nutritious food, and other stuff. When we teach very small kids, we need to break our instructions or tasks into chunks, so they will understand them better.
On additional note, teaching our children good habits, means teaching them good attitude. This behavior will be with them as they grow old.
