How do you teach kids about personal hygiene using Unilever Network Philippines’ products?

  1. By starting with the basics
  2. By transforming the lessons into games
  3. By buying them cute and cool products
  4. By making everything a routine

 

The importance of personal hygiene can never be stressed enough. Aside from keeping you prim and proper, this also helps in warding off certain diseases. It’s a good habit that one should carry (and consistently practice) as they grow into full-blown adults.

If you have kids, it’s best that you introduce them to personal hygiene as early as plausible. Exposing them to Unilever Network Philippines’ products is a good way to start.

Unfortunately, it isn’t as easy as you might think, as some kids might be resistant to learning, especially with their short attention span and their inclination to playing all day long.

What’s the solution, then?

Well, all you have to do is make your lessons more enjoyable and engaging!

Here are 4 ways on how to teach kids about personal hygiene using Unilever Network Philippines’ products.

Start with the basics

Start with the basics

Don’t overwhelm them with the sudden barrage of information. Start with something relatively simple, such as hand washing.

Hand washing is very basic. It’s virtually everywhere—that is, you’ve probably seen pamphlets on how to properly wash your hands plastered on comfort rooms. And yet, this simple act is very significant and does a mighty job in ridding your hands of germs and bacteria.

More than that, it’s quite easy to do too! All you need is soap and water.

To ensure that they’re washing sufficiently, have them sing “Happy birthday” as they thoroughly scrub their tiny hands.

 

Transform your lessons into games

Do you find it difficult to keep your children’s attention? Then maybe it’s high time that you make your teaching more enjoyable and interactive—that is, through games!

Here are some games that you can try:

  • Germ transfer. To educate your children about how germs can easily be transferred to their hands, especially when they touch things.
  • Good habit, bad habit. On small strips of paper, jot down 10 good habits (such as taking a bath daily and washing your hands before and after meals) and 10 bad habits. Fold these papers and place them in one container. Let the kids draw one paper at a time, then have them decide if what they got is a bad habit or a good one.
  • Matching game. This game teaches your children about the items related to good hygiene, and the corresponding body parts on which these tools are used. The first set should include pictures of soap, shampoo, towel, and so on, while the second set should be comprised of body parts. Instruct the kids to match the tools with the proper body part.
  • Hygiene charades. The first child should act out a hygiene habit without using any words—basically a charade. The other kids should then guess what habit the action is portraying. After the charades, educate the kids about how to correctly perform these habits.

 Buy them cute and cool products

Buy them cute and cool products

If you want, you can also buy them special and cute-looking products; that is, products that they will definitely look forward to using.

It doesn’t have to be expensive! You can let them use a toothpaste and toothbrush in their favorite color, or a shampoo that has their favorite character drawn outside. Or how about an adorable rubber duck that will keep them company in the shower?

All you need is a bit of imagination to let these hygiene practices a magical and fun experience for the kids.

Make it a routine

What better way of instilling these personal hygiene practices than doing them religiously?

Incorporate these habits into their everyday life, until they finally become a routine and a part of day day-to-day activities for your kids.

Plus, this is how children learn and thrive. So, make sure that they regularly perform the tasks that you give them, until they eventually accept it as the normal course of things.

 

Key Takeaway

Personal hygiene is very crucial. Aside from keeping you clean and presentable, it also helps in shielding your body against diseases that might arise from unsanitary habits.

It’s essential that kids are introduced to personal hygiene as early as possible, so that they can instill the knowledge in their mind early on and practice it as they grow up.

Unfortunately, it can be quite challenging to instruct kids sometimes. And one way of ensuring that you have their attention is by making the lessons more fun and engaging. Do this and they’ll know how to properly use Unilever Network Philippines’ products in no time!
