How to Keep Your Child Healthy and Happy
One of the most important lessons a child can learn is how to lead a healthy life.
•Provide a balanced diet with healthy snacks. Breakfast is a good start!
•Provide adequate rest, sleep and exercise.
•Teach good personal hygiene. Wash hands with soap and water often.
•Be aware of his or her developmental milestones and maturity.
•Make sure your child has regular medical and eye check-ups and scheduled immunizations. Visit the Dentist.
•Provide protection and firm, consistent discipline but encourage independence.
•Listen to your child and help him or her handle stress, worry, loneliness, anger – these may cause headaches, stomachaches and sleeplessness, and may lead to depression or other illnesses.
•Consult your physician for any special needs or concerns.
Give lots of Tender Loving Care!
