Good nutrition is essential to have a healthy living. We always ask our children what their favorite foods are. It is important to inform them that there are no good and bad foods, but they should not eat too much of just one food. They should eat balanced diet. They should eat foods from the basic food groups, like fruits and vegetables, grains which include bread and cereals, milk and dairy products, meat, nuts and seeds. Too much of a sweet will result to tooth decay while too much salty foods might give a person a kidney disorder. taking a bath daily, brushing teeth every after meal, washing of hands especially after using the comfort room and before eating.

It is also good for the children to be in any kind of sports because it keeps the body strong and healthy. Concept of sportsmanship should be explained to the children. It should be emphasized that when they lose, they must not feel ashamed or disheartened. What matters is that they joined the game or the contest, which did their best they could and played fairly. It’s not the winning that counts, its how the children played the game and have practiced good sportsmanship.
