What are the good hygiene habits of children and how to cultivate them?
Hygienic habit is a kind of "habitual" hygienic behavior based on conditioned reflex and formed through long-term repeated practice.

Children's good hygiene habits mainly include five aspects: personal cleaning, such as washing hands frequently, cutting nails frequently, getting a haircut frequently, washing their hair and brushing their teeth in the morning and evening, and using their own handkerchiefs and towels. In terms of food hygiene, such as washing hands before and after meals, eating regularly, chewing slowly, not drinking raw water, not eating unclean food, not picky eaters and so on. Living habits, such as working and sleeping on time, going to bed early and getting up early, taking part in physical exercise every day, often taking part in outdoor activities, developing correct standing, standing and walking posture, and not sleeping with your head covered. Public health, such as no defecation or spitting. In terms of eye hygiene, such as not reading and writing in weak light or direct sunlight, keeping a certain distance between eyes and books, and not watching TV for a long time continuously.

To cultivate children's good hygiene habits, the following measures should be taken.

(1) Catch the small and catch the early. The younger the child is, the greater the plasticity of the body, the easier it is for conditioned reflex to be established and consolidated, and the longer it can be maintained, so the earlier the cultivation of many hygiene habits, the better.

(2) Persist repeatedly. The cultivation of healthy habits does not happen overnight. At first, children will feel unaccustomed and often do not actively implement it. At this time, they need patient education and help explain the importance of implementing these hygienic behaviors. In addition to adults setting an example, we should also pay attention to constant supervision and remind them that they must not let themselves go. Over time, habits will become natural, and children will be able to consciously implement them.

(3) praise is the main thing. Cultivating children's health habits is a very meticulous work, and children are competitive, so praise should be given priority to in the training process and children should be encouraged to stick to it; For those who don't perform well, we should educate them positively, inspire them and don't lose confidence.

(4) Environmental coordination. Families should provide better sanitary conditions, which is an important link in cultivating sanitary habits. For example, to cultivate personal hygiene, it is necessary to buy necessary personal hygiene appliances for children, such as towels, washbasins and handkerchiefs. Training eye hygiene requires good lighting conditions and appropriate height of tables and chairs.
