Things you must encourage kids to do daily
These simple things can have an influence on your child not only when they are small but even after they grow up!
TALKING ABOUT THEIR DAY
It is important to ensure that your kids let you know how their day went each and every day. Confide details of your workday to your kid and encourage them to talk about theirs. This act ensures that you are in touch with whatever is happening in your kid’s life.
EATING MEALS TOGETHER
Ensure that your kid at least has two meals per day with the family. Eating together strengthens the family bond and reinforces the good concept that meal times are family times. Of course you should act as a role model teaching your kid the importance of eating meals together.
CLEANING UP AFTER PLAYING
Apart from very young kids who need to be taken care of completely, all children should be expected to clean up their own mess. Ask your kid to keep back toys in place after playtime and to ensure that they wipe up (or at least try to wipe up) anything they might have spilled.
EXERCISE
Nothing can beat the therapeutic power of exercise and you should definitely ensure that your kids get some precious exercise time every day. Even if they have super busy schedules it is your duty to inspire, motivate and ask them to engage in a physically vigorous act every day.
PRAYING EVERYDAY
Praying is a therapeutic force that cleanses out the mind and refreshes the spirit. When you teach your kid to pray you automatically inspire a respectful attitude towards the almighty. A prayer every day will soothe the mind and unleash a streak of positivity in your kid.
SAYING THANK YOU
You kid should definitely say “thank you” or any other person when they receive a favour or help. Saying thank
you is not limited to specific occasions like thanksgiving, birthdays and other events when they receive gifts. Thank you is a phrase that expresses gratefulness towards any gracious act.
HELPING OUT AT HOME
When your child helps out at home regularly he or she learns that is important to contribute towards the family. This habit will in time build a responsible and respectful attitude. Every day your kid should do some act (however small it might be) to help out at home.
ENSURING HYGIENE
Your kids should learn to brush their teeth every day, take a bath every day and maintain general cleanliness. All kids over the age of 5 should do these things every day without being prompted by their parents.
EATING HEALTHY
One of the things that will build robust health of your kid is nutritious food. Introduce your children to healthy food from a very young age so that they get used to eating healthy.
