How to Teach Your Child Healthy Habits

Setting a good example is obviously the best way to teach your kids healthy habits like washing hands and wearing sunscreen, but it’s still important to explain to your kids why it’s important to do these things. Most kids learn best when taught the same thing in multiple ways, so instead of just telling your kids why healthy habits are important, Parents magazine has come up with easy experiments that show kids the consequences of not washing their hands, etc. Here are the habits they cover:

• Wash Our Hands
• Wear a Seatbelt
• Eat Right
• Cover Our Mouth
• Wear Sunscreen
• Drink Water
• Wear a Helmet
• Get Enough Sleep
