How Do I Take Care of Myself?

Healthy Habits—Wash your face at least once a day.

Do you like to wash your face when you get up in the morning? Does it help you feel more awake? What about washing your face before you go to bed at night? Do you rest better when you feel like your face is clean before going to bed? How about during the day? Do you like to wash your face when you get it dirty or before you sit down to eat dinner? People feel differently about when they like to wash their face, but your parent knows what works best for you and your family. Talk to them about the best time to wash your face and make sure you keep your face clean and neat.

Keeping your face clean also makes you look better. It is important to let people see how neat you can be. People think you are more grown-up if you look neat and clean—and you look better and feel better. Do you ever feel more tired when you are not neat and clean? Do you feel more awake and more alert when you wash your face and get cleaned up? Look at the pictures below. The kids who are dirty look like they have been having fun, but would they feel good if they didn’t clean up and wash their face when they were done playing? What about the kids that are all clean and neat? They look happy too, don’t they? After having fun, they got cleaned up, and now they can have fun doing things that don’t get them dirty.
