    Toddler Health: Impacts All of Early and Later Development

    What are the important aspects of toddler healthcare? How to teach healthy eating and hygienic habits to toddlers? How to prevent health problems in toddler?

    Toddlers can be taught about good hygiene and eating habits if they are shown that behaviour. By modeling good hygiene, such habits will on their own get instilled in the toddlers. your toddler will look up to you for learning things and if parents are the role model then kids will be able to learn easily. washing hands before and after meals, brushing teeth etc are learned best by observation.

    Parents need to establish the routine so that toddlers with their fickle minds do not forget them. If a habit is done at the same time every day, then toddlers are less likely to forget.
    The best way to instill such habits is also by making the activities fun. Colourful toothbrushes, playing while teaching them good habits will make this habit fun and kids will look forward to doing them.

    Toddlers are full of energy. They are always active and love to play. They need to be taught healthy habits from this age so that they do not fall ill due to hygiene issues. It is important to teach them to wash hands before and after every meal. Telling them the reason will help them in keeping this in mind. If an elder sibling or a parent follows healthy hygiene habits, then toddlers will be able to learn easily from them.

    It is true that Toddlers can be taught about good hygiene and eating habits, however, it is difficult that they can be taught about primary care which is a very difficult task as well.
