Education of useful skills
At this age, the main character traits are finally formed. If the child is not accustomed to neatness, then in the future he will remain untidy. If the kid has not learned the importance of exact observance of the regime of the day, he is not used to putting his clothes properly and keeping order in his corner, he will be uncollected and untidy. If the child is not taught to restrain his desires, to understand that "it is necessary" means more than "I want", then he will grow up a weak-willed, emotionally disinhibited person, that is, a capricious egotistical egoist. Often you can hear that children inherit bad traits from their parents. However, this is not quite true. Such a statement rather sounds like an excuse in the case when it was too late for the child's upbringing.
As pointed out by A. S. Makarenko, 80% of the positive and negative traits of the child's character is formed in the first five years of life. Therefore, it should be brought up from birth.
Careful cleanliness is the key to cleanliness. Girls need to wash every day. It is more convenient to do this at night. To put girls in a basin with water it is impossible, as thus genitals will be washed by the polluted water. Rinse followed by a stream of running water. You can use a shower, but the jet of water flowing from it should not be tight, so as not to irritate the genitals, it's good when the water drops by a soft scattered beam. If this is not possible, you have to prepare the water in a specially designed dish( jug, jar, mug), wash your hands with soap, put the girl on his haunches above the basin, stand behind her. In the left hand you need to take the dishes with water, in the right piece of cotton wool or clean gauze, bend over the child. Wet cotton or gauze, soap, then wash the external genitalia by moving from front to back. After washing, wipe the skin of the perineum and thighs with a clean, specially selected towel. To wash off the girl with any medicinal solutions without doctor's appointment is not recommended. If washing is done regularly every evening, the girl will become so used to it that she can not do without this procedure. Cowards girls need to change daily, because of the vagina there is always at least a slight discharge. Drying, they make the matter stiff, which can lead to irritation of the external genitalia and upper parts of the thighs. The accumulation of excretions on the underpants represents a breeding ground for microbes that can cause vulvovaginitis. Wearing tights without panties is unhygienic. Elastic tights to pre-school girls are contraindicated. They are suitable only for cotton.
Many girls have 4-6 years of long hair. They require special care. A head wash is necessary once a week. To wash well, use boiled water. Hair is best washed with special children's shampoos( "Moydodyr", "Children's", "Babies", "Pinocchio", "Krya-krya", "Bebe").They contain extracts of herbs, vitamins that improve the nourishment of the skin, have a pleasant smell, anti-inflammatory effect and, most importantly, do not irritate the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes. After washing, the hair must dry before the child goes to bed. Experts do not recommend to dry children's hair with a hair dryer. Combing short hair follows from the roots to the ends( this improves the circulation of the scalp).Long hair is combed with individual strands, starting from the ends. The comb should have a few blunt teeth. Do not use metal combs and brushes. You can only dry long hair. It is not recommended to weave them into tight braids or tie them tightly with bows, since the hair falls out of tension. In order not to suffer hair bulbs, do not leave hairpins for them at night, from time to time, it is worth changing the hair in the hair for the parting. Hair is overdried and becomes brittle when exposed to sunlight for a long time. In summer, children should wear lightweight, inexpensive headdresses.
