Don’t wait too long to get your children in discipline.
Teaching children to know how to take care
of themselves since they were young is very important. If you worry about their
age and do everything for them, you will take away their right to learn and
their personal development opportunities. On the contrary, babies who are
encouraged and guided about personal body hygiene, choosing good foods or
self-protection, they will soon be independent and good at doing things by
themselves.
Let’s study about work that parents should
do to practice their children habits that will help them be healthy and have
positive characters.
Washing hands
Washing hands is the best and simplest way
to prevent viral spreads. Parents encourage their children to wash hands after
using the toilet, playing in the garden, playing with animals or before eating.
Moms should teach them right ways to wash hands: rub hands with soap in 10
minutes at least, wash them clean and wipe them dry. To always bring children
attention, you can choose soaps and towel that have attractive colors and
motifs.
Before
and after eating, children should wash their hands very carefully.
Cleaning after defecation
As well as washing hands, cleaning after
defecation will prevent your children from diseases that have viral origins.
The activity is also a factor that helps your children healthily develop. At
first, parents should teach children the moderate amount of paper that is
enough for the hygiene after washing hands with soap. For girls, moms should
teach them to wipe from the front to back in order to avoid the fact viruses
from the back get into their vaginas.
Eating healthy foods
Keep
the fruit or vegetable meals colorful and attractive to bring your children joy
in eating those foods.
Every day, children should eat at least 5
different vegetables and fruits and milk products that are rich in calcium,
protein and carbohydrate that will transform into energy. However, the most
difficult thing is that most children don’t like vegetables. To work off the
situation, parents should create the interest by making them join in games and
songs that contain names of vegetables or their favorite characters. Moms
should use lots of vegetables to prepare daily meals for children and provide
those foods to them by ways, such as cooking or eating it raw, chopping, slicing,
dicing or blending… Keep the fruit or vegetable meals colorful and attractive
to bring your children joy in eating those foods.
Regular exercise
Regular
exercise and activities is the best ways to help children avoid diseases and
improve temper.
Regular exercise and activities is the best
ways to help children avoid diseases and improve temper as well as support full
development of the brain and other body functions. If children are lack of
activities, their risk of obesity and body imbalance will increase. Therefore,
if your children are a little hyperactive, like to run and jump a lot, don’t
stop them but encourage and create a habit of exercising. Moms can find places
to let children (even to children who just get use to walking) be free in doing
what they like, such as parks, gardens or playground. And even in the house,
moms should choose toys that encourage your children to exercise like balls,
tricycles… or turn on the music and let them dance around the room, which is
also a good way to make you children to do exercise.
Eating and sleeping on time will help your children to be
healthy
As
soon as they’re seven, parents should always observe and support children to
brush teeth instead of helping them.
In every morning after waking up and night
before bed, there’s one important thing that children shouldn’t skip, brushing
teeth. As soon as they’re seven, parents should always observe and support
children to brush teeth instead of helping them. At first, children can be
fumbling and slow so parent should be patient, give them compliments for their
trying and joy in brushing teeth to them with games or colorful toothbrushes.
You should also teach them the right way to brush teeth to make sure that the
teeth are clean after doing so.
Teaching them right behaviors in public
Some children unconsciously have some
actions that are not very good as they put their hands in their pants or put
the pants down to discover their under part of the body. Those are not only
unsanitary but also impolite in public. When seeing your children doing that,
you shouldn’t scold at them or make things more complicating because those will
make children feel bad about their bodies. You should just distract them with
different things or stories. When children are old enough, you need to explain
to them about the difference behaviors between in public and in the bedroom,
sensitive things that need avoiding when outside.
Sleeping on time
Sleeps
are very important to children.
Sleeps are very important to children. Practicing
them habits of sleeping on time and independently is what you should do. From
the moment you carry your children on your arm, in certain hours, you should
repeat doing preparation for their sleep like feeding them with milk, cleaning,
putting them in their beds, reading stories or doing the countdown to them.
When children are older, they will be initiative and won’t need your reminders.
Following safety principles
There’re many cases children get severely
injured from unnecessary accidents that are totally foreseeable. The key point
is parents need to teach children primary safety rules at present to prevent
them from accidents, such as the effects of the 2 sides of a knife so that they
will never play with it or teach them to pass the street only when seeing the
passing sign of traffic lights and not pass the street without adult’s
observation.
Not playing in the sunshine
Teach
them to use sunscreen when playing in the sunshine.
Children who often contact with sunshine
when it’s later than the early morning can have their risk of subsequent cancer
increased. Parents should explain them about the hot heat of the sun can make
them sick and if they want to go out in the sunshine, they have to wear hats
and long clothing or use sunscreen. Moms can make them be interested in wearing
hats by let them choose their favorite ones.
Drinking lots of water
Buy
them their favorite cups or let them drink water from bottles when they’re old
enough.
Drinking lots of water helps improve the
concentration and support the body activities. You should make sure that your
children can take drinks easily and remind them to have water regularly, not to
skip water because they’re busy playing. Buy them their favorite cups or let
them drink water from bottles when they’re old enough. Children can wet their
shirt when drinking water by themselves but if that problem helps your children
to have a good habit, it’ll ok to let them change new clothes.
