**Healthy habits for kids** are small routines that help care for the body and make
everyday life feel more comfortable. This beginner course introduces handwashing,
a variety of foods, sleep and rest, active play, toothbrushing, and balanced screen
use. Children learn that healthy routines can look a little different for each family
and that trusted adults can help.

The six lessons move from simple personal care to a practical plan. Learners practise
the steps for washing hands, explore foods and drinks, and think about calm routines
for bedtime and play. They learn how to care for teeth with adult support and how
to leave room for screens, rest, movement, and time with other people. The final
lesson helps learners make a flexible habits chart and practise asking for help 
when they need it.

## What you will learn

 * Describe when and how to wash hands with soap and water
 * Notice a variety of foods and choose water with adult support
 * Build calming routines for sleep and rest
 * Explore safe, enjoyable ways to move and play
 * Practise toothbrushing, balanced screen routines, and asking a trusted adult 
   for help

## Who this course is for

This course is for children around ages 5 to 8 in Kindergarten through Grade 2, 
and for other young learners practising everyday routines. Parents, teachers, and
caregivers can read the lessons aloud and adapt the ideas to a child’s needs, culture,
and family routine.

## Prerequisites

No health knowledge is needed. Learners only need a trusted adult to help with routines,
toothbrush supplies, food choices, and screen rules. The lessons do not replace 
advice from a child’s doctor or dentist.

## A note for parents and teachers

Food, sleep, movement, and care needs can differ among children and families. Follow
guidance from the child’s health professionals, especially for allergies, medical
conditions, dental questions, or sleep concerns. Avoid making a child feel bad about
food, body size, or routines they cannot control. Praise effort and ask what support
would help.
