Habits are learned young, which is why it’s important to make them healthy ones. Children learn their habits from home, both by what they are directly taught and by what they see the adult in their lives doing. Healthy habits aren’t only concerned with food, although eating habits are very important, they are also concerned with hygiene, physical health, and mental health.
As parents, we are our children’s first teachers. As such, there are many important lessons that they learn from us, long before they start school. We teach them how to crawl, walk, and eat table foods. We teach them to care for their health and hygiene. But there are other things we need to teach them too.
