HIGHLIGHTS

Childhood is, as we all know, the initial phase of a human life. This is the age when most children learn most of the things about life, and develop good and bad habits. Children can be shaped in whatever form desired. And, what is most important here to note is that, we as parents, affect their attitudes and mind-set the most, since they look up-to us as 'learned' adults, of-course. So, it is important to pass on healthy and positive habits to your children as they'll benefit from them in the long-run.

Following are five healthy habits you should pass on to your kids:

1. Good Eating Habits

Children tend to imitate what they see. And, quite similar is the case with their eating habits. Seeing parents follow and adhere to healthy and positive eating habits will promote similar dietary habits in them as well. It is important to inculcate in children the habit of eating healthy, and nutrients-rich food, avoid unhealthy snacking, teach them not to skip meals etc.

2. Regular Exercise

Performing regular exercise is good for you. But, if you could, at the same time, indulge your kids in doing physical exercise on a daily-basis, it could help them in the long run to stay fit and active. Apart from that, sports help inculcate in children, values as such competitiveness and team-work.

3. Positive Attitude

A positive attitude gives one a positive life. Our approach towards life in general, our beliefs and mind-set are instrumental in living a healthy and fruitful life. Teaching your kids how to stay positive, and deal with problems in a better way could go a long way in helping them live a happy and successful life.

Not essentially a health-tip though, but our moral values and qualities directly or indirectly have a major impact on our overall health. Good moral values keep us distant from stress, make us more happy, enlighten our mood, therefore keeping a good number of mental and physical disorders and diseases at bay.
