Whether your child is starting school or returning after a break, she gets exposed to germs in a variety of ways. When children cough, sneeze or eat contaminated food, germs can travel fast from one child to the next. While playing, sharing food with friends, mixing closely with other youngsters, and so on, students are in danger of contracting germs. Schools, in fact, can be a breeding ground for pathogens. Furthermore, if you do not teach your child the importance of proper hygiene at school, she may be prone to ailments such as cough, cold, fever, head lice, and other contagious diseases.
The most valuable resource is people. A person in good bodily and mental health is referred to as a human resource. Personal hygiene is the most effective strategy to preserve excellent health. Personal hygiene is defined as a mental condition that fosters one’s own hygienic behaviour. Everyone has their own set of rules and behaviours that they have learned from others or that they have been taught. Personal hygiene is used to prevent or lessen health issues and diseases in general. Individually, it’s done a lot at home, school, and other locations where people live. It means keeping our surroundings, bodies, and clothing as clean as possible.

Another exciting method to teach your children about cleanliness is to do so while they are playing games, solving puzzles, or conducting engaging science experiments. There are a variety of cartoons and animated programmes that can assist you in teaching basic sanitary practices to children. You may put together a fun and educational puppet performance to illustrate the value of healthy practices.

Hygiene is a broad phrase that encompasses personal and collective living cleanliness as well as productive sanitation.
Personal and societal sanitation activities done to improve human health, prevent diseases and improve and create productive settings and living situations that meet physical and psychological demands are referred to as sanitation.
It safeguards you against infections and diseases that could compromise your immune system. It keeps the illness from spreading to your loved ones and those you interact with on a daily basis. It helps to keep your skin's pH balanced, making it healthier and more radiant over time.
