Cleanliness Habits

Keeping our body clean is very important. Here are the cleanliness habits we should follow:

Six good habits — brushing teeth, washing hands, bathing, eating healthy, sleeping on time, keeping room tidy

Habit	When to Do It	Why It Is Important
Brush teeth	Morning and night	Keeps teeth clean and prevents tooth decay
Wash hands	Before eating, after toilet, after playing	Removes germs and keeps us healthy
Bathe	Every day	Keeps skin clean and removes sweat and dirt
Cut nails	Once a week	Prevents dirt from collecting under nails
Wash hair	Twice a week	Keeps hair clean and healthy
Wear clean clothes	Every day	Keeps us fresh and presentable

Meena always washes her hands before eating. Her mother says, "Dirty hands carry germs. Washing hands keeps you healthy!"

Keeping Our Surroundings Clean

We should also keep our home, school, and neighbourhood clean:

Put rubbish in the dustbin. Do not throw litter on the road or in the park. Keep your room tidy. Put your books and toys in their place. Do not spit in public places. Water plants and keep the garden clean.

Good Manners

Good manners are also good habits. They help us be kind and polite:

Say "Please" when asking for something. Say "Thank you" when someone helps you. Say "Sorry" when you make a mistake. Say "Good morning" and "Good night". Do not interrupt when someone is talking. Share your things with others.

Arjun always says "Thank you" to his teacher and "Please" when he needs help. Everyone loves Arjun because he has such good manners!
