Teaching children hygiene habits can be difficult, especially when it comes to very young children. It seems that the kids what to eat something after having been playing with the earth do not care too, and to say what it costs some brush their teeth ...
So today I bring some ideas to work hygiene habits with the kids. The general ideas will serve to work hygiene habits in any language, yes, resources and applications are in English 😉
General advice.
- When brushing teeth or bathing should be a fun time. We can not forget that they are children and if we are to do so with threats get the opposite effect. Compradles brush teeth fun, if it is possible that when you do go with you and choose them. Put music, Sing and dance, anything you can think of for that for them it is a good time.
- Your attitude is critical. If that time comes when you have a dull and listless attitude is you will transmit to the kids. Strive face this moment with joy. That will motivate a lot and will be looking forward.
- It is essential that expliquéis them why these habits. Personally I think that children should explain things as they are. As much as other children need to know why they have to do a certain activity and we as parents and teachers have the "obligation" to clearly explain these processes.
- We must lead by example. The kids absolutely everything imitate adults around them do. If we are explaining the importance of brushing your teeth it is essential to see that you do too. Even you can do together.
- Teach playing. We have already commented on occasion as the game is one of the fundamental means of learning kids. When I shall teach you how to do it bathe or wash their hands with one of his dolls. It is he who goes bathing the doll. This will be a very good way to understand and internalize the process.
Below are some resources I leave so you can work in a fun two main hygiene with children often have problems: hand washing and teeth.
Brush your teeth.
Teach kids to brush their teeth since childhood is essential. Not only for reasons of hygiene. Improper oral hygiene can be related to health problems.
The alternatives to this are endless fun time. I bring some songs and apps. In this case, I think that applications can be helpful to the kids because they pose a number of objectives and challenges that have to reach when brushing your teeth.
On Page Aquafresh Brush Time, You can find several resources to make this super fun time. From an app where kids can dress Tommy, a bit of toothpaste, to accompany them during the two minutes it must be brushing her teeth. Until songs and tricks when brushing.
Brush Dj It is an app that you can come in handy with slightly older children. What I love about this app is that you can load the music that appeals to kids and make it sound as long as they are brushing. This is great because they set a specific time for activity.
Undoubtedly, all applications that I bring the one I like is Play Brush. This application consists of being a sensor that is placed on the toothbrush and movements linking this to an application that is installed on mobile or tablet. The sensor captures the movement that is making the small brush and adds up points in the app as well do it.
The main advantage of this app is that the child is seeing its evolution and, further, You can set goals and organize competitions among family members!
I leave a couple of songs to make this time more enjoyable to kids.
Wash hands.
On Page Carex you will find many resources in English whether you're a dad like you're profe. From songs to recipes through tales and stories. In Carex you to a small program that generates activities to do with your hands. Super fun!
In Brainpop You have specific activities can work both at home and in the classroom for children to understand concepts such as the spread of germs through hand, etc.
If you urge to work this habit with new technologies, I leave an app for the kids to play and learn. Its named Ella’s Hand Washing Adventure and it is available for both iPad and Android.
Further, here's a couple of songs for you to listen to the kids and cantéis.
I hope these resources will serve to make it bearable now and get set healthy hygiene habits in the kids. Remember that it is essential to establish these habits since childhood, when they are older it will be much more complicated.
