Back-to-School Time is Approaching...Need Some Health Tips For Your Kiddos?
HOW HEAVY IS YOUR KIDDO'S BACKPACK?
When your kids are back in school they may be carrying heavy textbooks in their backpacks every day. That can be very hard on their back if the weight isn't distributed right. Make sure that they wear their backpack with both straps over their shoulders.
HAVE YOU TAUGHT YOUR KIDDO HOW TO AVOID LICE?
Teach your kids about the dangers of head lice and how they can easily spread. Tell them to avoid:
- Sharing helmets during sports activities
- Borrowing someone else's hairbrush at school
- Borrowing a friend's hat
DO YOU PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE WITH YOUR KIDDOS?
Your kid is going back to school and will be around other children. You probably don't want them to feel embarrassed because they didn't practice good hygiene, so make sure they know how to do so. Here are a few tips:
- Teach them to wash their hair at least once every two or three.
- Teach them to bathe regularly.
- Teach them to brush their teeth at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.
- Depending on the age of your child, if they have begun puberty, you may have them start wearing deodorant.
- Teach them to brush their hair every day.
HOW MUCH SLEEP IS YOUR KIDDO GETTING A NIGHT?
Your child is back in school and should be well-rested for all of the activities and knowledge they are about to soak up.
DOES YOUR CHILD WASH THEIR HANDS OFTEN?
Germs are everywhere, even in school. There are fun ways to get your kids to wash their hands, such as having them sing the Alphabet song while they are washing their hands. That way you can help make sure they wash their hand for a long enough time.
