Hygiene practices are instilled at a young age to prevent the development and spread of infection. Here are four life-changing hygiene habits for children.

Hand washing is an integral part of hygiene that parents should teach by example at a young age. Hand-washing is a basic activity that takes just several seconds, but this habit can keep germs and infections away.

Bathing daily starts from a very early age. Kids learn from example, so watching parents doing the same thing encourages them to do the same.

Finger nails should be clipped by parents every week. Keeping the nails short is a good way to lessen the risk of germs under the nails.
