Washing and Brushing

For a little while, you'll most likely brush your little one's teeth and hair for them. But when they seem adamant about doing it themselves, encourage and support them by taking a step back to let them do it.

In doing so, you'll give them the confidence to learn how to maintain good personal hygiene.

If you haven't already, source a family dentist with a Wide Range of Family Dentistry Services to book regular checkups for your children.

Regular health checkups will give kids the know-how and encouragement they need to look after their teeth. Plus validation from the dentist they are doing an excellent job at brushing their pearly whites. Giving them reassurance taking care of themselves is a good thing. 

Teach Them To Look After their Room

Teaching and allowing your children to tidy their room will give them the skills to change and respect the environment they live in.

Maintaining their own space will give them a sense of confidence and control, which is an excellent tool for kids to learn from a young age.

Altering our environment through tidying can enhance their wellbeing by making little ones feel accomplished uplifting their mood.

Choosing Clothes And Shoes




There comes the point when your children will want to begin dressing themselves, so why not let them?

When they get dressed, give them pointers about what clothing may be better suited and why.

For instance, if they want to wear summer wear out in the backyard in winter. Teach them why they may be better off with more layers.

Teach Relaxation Activities

Children experience a rollercoaster of emotions on most days. An essential part of learning self-care skills is figuring out how to handle those emotions healthily.

To teach children how to relax when they're angry, for instance, you could suggest some relaxing activities. Such as listening to soothing music. Reading a book, or letting out their frustration in a healthy way through a creative project or exercise.

Self-soothing is an essential tool for kids to control their emotions and enhance their wellbeing.

Go Outside More Often

Being outside is great for children. Children benefit from exposure to the sun to create vitamin D. Greenery, one of nature's remedies for stress and anxiety. Plus, fresh air and space to run around and exercise.

Getting children active in outdoor spaces will eventually help them understand its value. Ingraining healthy habits like exercise outdoors is another way to teach kids to look after themselves.

You can teach kids about the self-care practices above and strengthen their understanding through praise, role play, and, most importantly, being a good role model.

Kids pick up on more than you might think. If they see you taking the time to take care of yourself, they are much more likely to want to do the same.
