Lesson PROVIDE CARE & SUPPORT
1 TO CHILDREN
“Instill Personal Hygiene”
Parents and caregivers make sure children are healthy and safe, equip them
with the skills and resources to succeed as adults, and transmit basic cultural values
to them. Parents and caregivers offer children love, acceptance, appreciation,
encouragement, and guidance. They provide the most intimate context for the
nurturing and protection of children as they develop their personalities and identities
and also as they mature physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
During the first quarter, you learned about providing care and support to
infants and toddlers. In the next lessons, we will focus on providing care and support
to children. As a future caregiver, it is important to keep children clean for them to
remain healthy and to feel good about themselves. Good personal hygiene will help
boost their self-esteem and confidence.

What is It
The best way to stay healthy is to take good care of oneself. This includes the
observance of proper hygiene and cleanliness. Here are some of hygiene practices
for children.
4
2. Care for the hair. A healthy and well groomed hair
makes look neat and attractive. Shampoo hair twice
or thrice a week.
• Massage scalp as you shampoo. Use mild
shampoo suited for your hair type.
• Use hairbrush or comb appropriate to your
hair type to avoid dandruff, lice and nits.
• Brush hair with proper strokes several
times from the scalp to the tips of the hair
to distribute the natural oil of the hair.
• Let hair dry naturally. Do not use electric
fan and hair blower.
• Remove all hair accessories before sleeping to allow the hair roots to
breathe freely.
• Trim or cut hair regularly to avoid split ends.
3. Caring for the face. Wash face with mild soap and
water, once or twice daily or when it becomes sticky
and sweaty from dirt and sweat.
• Clean nose and ears using clean cotton
bud. Insert lightly and rotate the bud
carefully
• Eyes also need proper care. Try palming
tired eyes by covering the eyes with the
palm of your hands for one minute after
every two hours of continuous reading.
5
5. Caring for the Teeth. Proper care of teeth and
gums involves brushing 3 times a day after every
meal and regular visit to the dentist.
• Brush teeth after every meal. Use soft
bristle toothbrush using up and down
strokes to remove food particles.
• Eat and drink right kind of food and
drinks.
• Use dental floss to remove food particles in
between teeth.
• Avoid foods that are very sweet, fatty and salty.
• Visit dentist every 5 to six months or often as needed to check teeth for
decay and cavity, presence of plaque and tartar, and for other remedies.
• Always drink sufficient water after eating to wash away remaining food
particles and keep mouth fresh.
6
• Use shoe polish and soft cloth and brush to maintain the luster of the
leather shoes, slippers belts and bags. Wash with water and soap those
that are made of rubber. Clean shoes, sandals and slippers regularly.
• Use soft brush and lukewarm water with a sop to clean jewelry pieces
to keep them shiny.
• Wash clothes properly with soap or detergent and plenty of water for
rinsing to look and smell clean and good.
The following are factors which cause the spread of communicable diseases
and increases the incidence of non-communicable diseases.
7
explain the spread of typhoid, cholera or
dysentery germs. Mosquitos can transmit
dengue fever, malaria, filariasis and other
diseases. Rats harbour a number of parasites
and organisms that cause diseases like
leptospirosis, hantavirus, salmonella, bubonic
plague etc.
5. Polluted surroundings
We have polluted air, water, land and noise in
the surroundings. Dust, smoke, fumes, soot
and fly ash can worsen bronchitis, asthma,
emphysema and lung cancer Dirty air can slow
down mental performance and reactions of
diseases, overactive thyroid and chronic lung
conditions thereby increases the susceptibility
to flue and other ailments. Water pollution
results
in water-borne diseases from sewage disposal
to waterways. Dirty lands increases the
incidence of parasitism and cancer. Garbage
heaps and dumps serves as breeding places of vectors and vermin which carry
lots of diseases. Prolonged exposure to loud noise makes the heartbeat faster,
constrict blood vessels and triggers stomach pains. It tends to make people tense
and irritable and contributes to disorders related to stress like ulcers and high
blood pressure.
6. Poor housing
Some Filipinos live in substandard housing
conditions. In crowded cities, poor housing
causes the spread of diseases. Several
families may live together in shanties. Here,
there are poor toilet facilities and non-potable
water for domestic use. Their surroundings
include dirty canals, poor drainage and
uncollected refuse. These stagnant waters
and garbage heaps favourably breed vectors
that spread diseases.
7. Lack of Drainage
Rubbish and garbage dump in canals and “esteros” prevent the flow of water.
This leads to flood and poor sanitation of surroundings. These poorly drained
sites provide breeding places for vermin which can spread dengue fever, malaria
and gastrointestinal ailments.
8
8. Improper and unsanitary food preparation and food handling
When food is not sanitarily prepared and
handled, it provides a fertile medium for the
growth and multiplication of harmful organisms
and the spread of diseases. Food maybe
contaminated by poisonous substances in the
preparation, storage and serving and can cause
the customers to be sick.
9. Malnutrition
Malnutrition can be over nutrition (excess of
nutrients) or under nutrition (lack of nutrients).
This is caused by faulty diet, ignorance or lack
of knowledge of proper nutrition, faulty cooking
practices, poor economic condition.
Malnourished children with low body resistance
can easily get sick.
