PERSONAL CLEANLINESS
Personal Cleanliness is a part of good grooming. It shows that you keep your body clean and fresh.
We take care of our body, so we should follow the following steps:
1.Take full baths in the morning.
2. Take care of your hair. Use mineral oil or coconut oil for one hour and rinsing it with shampoo and
water after is suggested.
3. Smiling is one of the easiest ways to gain friends so you must take good care of your teeth. Brush
your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day (after breakfast and before sleeping). The proper way
to brush is through up-down strokes. If there are particles left on your teeth after brushing, use a dental
floss. Do not eat candies or drinking of softdrinks. Visit your dentist every 6 months.
4. After playing, using the toilet and before eating, wash hands with soap and water as the hands are
possible germ carriers due to the many things we touch. Our nails both from the hands and feet must be
clipped regularly using a nail cutter.
