Health & Hygiene

As these girls get older, it is important for them to understand how to take care of their bodies both inside and out. Nutrition is often discussed but hygiene not as much beyond take a shower and brush your teeth. That's all a kid needs right? Probably not.
We started off by playing a little memory game. We had a bunch of hygiene products on a table and the girls had one minute to look at them all and try to remember as many as possible before the table was covered up. Most of them got about half of what was there.
We had: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face scrub, hair gel, lotion, shaving cream, toothbrush, toothpaste, lotion, hand sanitizer, washcloth, pumice stone, clean pillow case, loofah, clean panties, deodorant, and several other items I can not remember now. After the little game, we discussed the importance of each of the items and why many of them need to be used on a daily basis. We discussed how clean bodies mean clean temples for our spirits to dwell in. We also discussed how clean bodies lead to happier and healthier lives.
