The lifestyle habits learned and developed during childhood often become lifelong habits. This is why instilling healthy habits and safe behavior for your little ones from an early age is so important. The sooner you begin reminding them of what is healthy and safe in their everyday routine, they will naturally recognize right from wrong, safe from unsafe, and healthy from unhealthy. You teach them these lessons and trust them to make the right choices when playing with friends and when they are at school.
Staying Healthy
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and floss at least once.
- Make healthy food choices. Have a fruit or vegetable with every meal and choose healthy snack options.
- Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before and after every meal, after using the restroom, after recess, and more often when you are sick or getting a cold.
- Drink plenty of liquids. Stay hydrated with water throughout the day especially when playing.
- Get active. At least 30 minutes of exercise and fresh air every day.
Playing Safe
- Look both ways before crossing the street, or crossing in front of a driveway.
- Use all playground equipment as it was meant to be played on. No going up the slides or standing on the swings.
When riding a bike always wear safety gear and a properly fitted helmet.
-Wear sneakers for recess and outdoor playtime.
- Dress appropriately for the playground. Remove necklaces, purses, scarves or clothing with drawstrings that can get caught on equipment and pose a strangulation hazard.
- No pushing, crowding or shoving.
- Limit the time playing video games and watching TV each day.
Elementary age children are at an extremely important age mentally, emotionally and physically. Giving them these helpful reminders will ensure they are learning and growing into smart and healthy adolescents.
