Healthy Minds and Bodies / Health and Hygiene / Healthy Habits Start Early!
Healthy habits are an important part of growing up! Whether it’s brushing teeth or washing hands, these small routines make a big difference.
Make It Fun and Routine
- Sing songs while washing hands (like the ABC song) to make sure it’s long enough.
- Make brushing teeth a family habit — everyone can do it together!
- Talk about healthy foods and let kids help pick out fruits and vegetables.
Ask Healthy Habit Questions
- What healthy snack do you want to try today?
- Why do we wash our hands before eating?
- How do you feel after you get good sleep?
