Understanding these tasks is a pretty clear-cut advantage for any human at any age! However, teaching self-care and proper hygiene to a toddler can be both time-consuming and frustrating. If you\u2019re running late in the morning, it\u2019s not exactly easy to stop everything to watch your 2-year-old attempt to \u201cbrush\u201d her hair.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it is important to understand the developmental, emotional, and health benefits of teaching hygiene early. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to have a strict hygiene lesson three times a day, because let\u2019s face it, there will be days when it\u2019s just easier to do things for her! However, reserving some time to encourage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/07\/24\/encouraging-your-toddlers-independence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">independent self-care<\/a> has some significant long-term rewards.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Highlights:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are developmental, emotional, and health benefits that come along with teaching toddlers about hygiene.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developmental opportunities are behind every self-care task.

When your toddler is learning how to hold a toothbrush properly, she&#8217;s exercising fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are developing when she\u2019s practicing putting on pants without tumbling over. Self-care lessons also build language skills when she practices naming each tool and each task. Teaching hygiene at an early age also helps her understand the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/10\/01\/using-visuals-to-teach-independent-self-care-tasks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sequences<\/a>, such as washing hands before eating, or the steps involved in brushing teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>Social and Emotional Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Learning hygiene and independent self-care contributes to healthy social and emotional development. Attempting to complete these activities on her own can build a strong sense of self, independence, and confidence. A sense of accomplishment can be very powerful when she reaches a self-care milestone on her own. It\u2019s also important to remember that feeling independent and confident are both big components of social skills. Children who struggle with hygiene can face a lot of limitations when it comes to social experiences later in life. They may not want to go to a playdate or a sleepover party when they know they can\u2019t handle these tasks on their own. Teaching self-care tasks early can help build the foundation for self-awareness and positive social connections.<\/p>\n<h2>Health Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, we can\u2019t discuss the benefits of learning self-care at an early age without mentioning the prominent health benefits. When good hygiene is showcased at home, toddlers learn the importance of being healthy. Washing our hands keeps us from getting sick. Brushing our teeth keeps the cavities away. Taking a bath removes all the dirt so we don\u2019t get an infection. When practicing good hygiene and independent self-care activities, it\u2019s important to remind her of the reasons <em>why<\/em> we do them. Understanding this at an early age helps her build healthy habits that can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to start encouraging your child to do more of these tasks on her own, check out our BabySparks self-care activities that can help you teach her about brushing hair, brushing teeth, washing face and hands, putting on shoes, and much more![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It\u2019s probably not surprising that it\u2019s beneficial to teach hygiene and self-care in early childhood.
