How to Keep Your Child Healthy? |
 |
|
Make sure your child gets
enough sleep. Children need about 10 hours of sleep per
night. Make bedtime special with a routine that includes
bathing, teeth brushing, getting ready for bed, and reading
a story in bed. |
|
|
|
|
Make sure your child eats
plenty of healthy food and drinks water every day. You can
help your child develop good eating habits by modeling good
eating yourself. Keep
junk foods to a minimum. Empty calories in soft drinks and
fatty foods promotes obesity, which causes all kinds of
health problems. Make
sure kids get plenty of exercise. Enrolling in team sports,
karate, gymnastics, or swim team ensure regular exercise. |
|
 |
Keep kids away from smokers. Second-hand smoke can
exacerbate asthma and other respiratory problems.
Promote good personal habits. Make sure children always wash
hands after using the restroom, before eating, before
helping with food, and after wiping their nose. Teach them
how to blow their nose into a tissue. |
|
|
|
Properly clean and bandage cuts and scrapes when they occur
to prevent infection.
Take them to see a physician for annual checkups and get
recommended immunizations.
Keep unnecessary stress to a
minimum. Take time to talk with your child every day so that
they feel comfortable letting you know what’s on their mind.
Protect your child from
hazards inside the home, such as unsafe cleaning products,
medicines, sharp tools, and unsafe furnishings. |
