Children learn far more than seeing what is happening around them than being told what to do. It stands to reason that setting a good example for children is critical. When they see you practicing the habits you recommend for them, they are likely to imbibe them. That said, a little guidance and effort can go a long way in making good habits, their companions for life. Ensuring a routine where they follow these habits is critical. While you set firm ground rules, ensure that you also motivate the child as you go along. A word of caution here- while we typically reward results, it is essential to acknowledge the child\u2019s efforts to keep them motivated. Finally, stay involved with the child and remain realistic. The child will make mistakes along the way. The key is to help them learn from their mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Healthy_Habits_for_Children\"><\/span>10 Healthy Habits for Children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, let us look at 10 healthy habits that you need to help your child pick up early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Eat_Healthy\"><\/span>1. Eat Healthy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A child\u2019s relationship with food is established early. It is imperative, therefore, that habits around healthy eating are also developed early. Data from the World Health Organization shows that over 390 million children and adolescents aged 5\u201319 years were overweight in 2022, including 160 million who were living with obesity. It is essential that children be taught to eat healthy. Remember that they are likely to follow your lead. Keep them away from junk food, including vegetables and fruits, in their diet. Creativity in food preparation and presentation can also help them take to nutritious food. Ensure that they eat a healthy breakfast, which is the most important meal of the day, and have enough water during the day.  This is not just about healthy eating; this is also the time to teach them the importance of not wasting food. These are lessons that will last well into adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Basic_Hygiene\"><\/span>2. Basic Hygiene<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Childhood is also the best time to teach children about basic hygiene. Whether they brush their teeth twice a day, wash their hands before meals, take a bath, or do other activities, these lessons will ensure that they remain healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Physical_Activity\"><\/span>3. Physical Activity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of inculcating this cannot be overstated significantly since we live in times known for sedentary lifestyles and where screen times are a reality. Ensure that the child spends enough time outdoors. You can also take a walk as a family activity. It will undoubtedly have health benefits- it will also give you much-needed quality time with your child. While on the subject, it is also crucial that screen time is kept under limit. Excessive screen usage is known to cause overstimulation, which leads to problems in socio-emotional development and hinders social and emotional competence. Even where it is allowed, it helps to have small sessions with breaks in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" data-id=\"7280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-6-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"Physical Activity for children\" class=\"wp-image-7280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-6-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-6-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-6-1200x678.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-6.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Discipline_and_value_of_time\"><\/span>4. Discipline and value of time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lesson that sticks when taught early is the value of time. Ensure that children are encouraged to be punctual in all their activities. Following a specific routine will also instill in them a sense of discipline, one of the most robust markers of success in later life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Sharing\"><\/span>5. Sharing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children need to be taught early the importance of sharing the feelings of others. It will help to teach them to share their belongings, wait for their turn on the swing in the park, and more. Importantly, they also need to describe and label their own feelings as well as the feelings of others. While on the subject, it is also important to teach them that while all emotions are welcome, all ways of expressing emotions are not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Responsibility\"><\/span>6. Responsibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A sense of responsibility is best instilled early. Children need to be given age-appropriate chores. Think of getting them to help with laying the table, folding laundry, and more. In time, they will automatically learn to take responsibility, and that rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-2-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-2-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-2-1200x678.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-2.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Cleanliness\"><\/span>7. Cleanliness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The principle of cleanliness being next to Godliness is best demonstrated in the house early. It will enable children to keep their surroundings clean. They will learn to put things in their respective places. Eventually, they will also discover that decluttering isn&#8217;t just limited to physical objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Reading\"><\/span>8. Reading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage the child to read early. Storytelling can pique interest in the stages that the child cannot read by himself. Having a designated hour that you read aloud helps. Needless to say, if the child sees adults around reading books, this habit is subliminally passed on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-2-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-2-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-2-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-2-1200x678.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-2.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Positive_Self-talk\"><\/span>9. Positive Self-talk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing you can teach early that will make a difference in their lives is the power of affirmations. Each day before going to school, let them stand in front of the mirror and have a positive self-talk with themselves. An affirmation about making the best out of the day for instance will become a part of their life and help them navigate many issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Attitude_of_gratitude\"><\/span>10. Attitude of gratitude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy habits for students involve developing an attitude of gratitude early. This positive mindset will help them go through the ups and downs of life with ease. Get a gratitude jar and encourage each family member to drop a note stating what they are grateful for at the end of the day. You could also begin by writing a gratitude journal. Once the mind is trained to look for the good, it will become a way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a style=\"color:#fc6500\" aria-label=\"Footprints (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">Footprints Playschool<\/mark><\/a><\/a>, a chain of <a style=\"color:#fc6500\" aria-label=\"preschools (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/program-pre-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">preschools<\/a> that has emerged as a parenting partner, a lot of emphasis is given to the child\u2019s holistic development.
