The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents help their children adopt these habits to stay both safe and healthy as they grow up: put away their toys and clean up their messes; allow parents to help them brush their teeth twice daily; wash their hands after using the bathroom and before and after they eat; help parents clear the table after meals; be kind to animals, and always ask permission before petting an unfamiliar pet; be kind to other kids; and to talk to parents or other adults they trust if
they feel scared or need help. American Academy of Pediatrics, September 2022
