Cleanliness is a state of mind. Give it to your child in the early years.

Cleanliness is a good habit, most of us agree. None of us would like to go in unflushed toilets. None of us would tolerate a neighbour spitting from the balcony. There can be no two opinions about the regular visits of the garbage van near our residences. While most of us want our surroundings to be clean, how many of us teach our children the importance of cleanliness. We might teach them to brush their teeth, wash their face and bathe everyday. But do we extend the concept of cleanliness to every aspect of their daily life. Here are tips for inculcating the value of cleanliness in children.


Be it the dining table or kitchen or the balcony, children should be tutored not to mess up the belongings. In order to maintain cleanliness, never allow your children to eat in any place of the house. Teach your children, irrespective of their sex (be it a boy or girl) to lay the table neatly. Make sure that both your son and daughter pick up their own used plates and carry them to the kitchen sink. They should also offer to carry those of the aged members of the family. Washing their hands and gargling after meals is also a very good habit, as it will help them fight bad odour throughout life.
