Healthy Nutrition 🍎
Balanced Diet
Ensure your child gets a mix of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. A colorful plate is usually a healthy plate.
Hydration
Water is the best drink for kids. Avoid sugary drinks and sodas. Keep a water bottle handy during playtime.
Routine Meals
Establish regular meal and snack times to provide structure and ensure consistent energy levels throughout the day.
Better Sleep Habits 🌙
Sleep is crucial for a child's brain development and physical growth. Establishing a calming bedtime routine is key.
- Stick to a schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
- Create a calm environment: Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
- Limit screens: Avoid electronic devices at least an hour before bedtime.
- Relaxing routine: Read a book or take a warm bath before sleep.
Growth & Development 📏
Cognitive Skills
Encourage curiosity through puzzles, reading, and open-ended play. Asking "why" is a great sign of learning!
Physical Activity
Kids need at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily. Running, jumping, and playing sports build strong bones and muscles.
Emotional Health
Help children express their feelings. Validate their emotions and teach them healthy coping mechanisms.

- Childproofing: Secure furniture, cover outlets, and keep hazardous substances out of reach.
- Water Safety: Never leave children unattended near water, including bathtubs.
- Car Safety: Always use an age-appropriate car seat or booster seat properly installed in the back seat.
