Healthy routines

Children sat at a table eating fruit
  • Going to bed around the same time each night, waking up in time to get ready for school
  • Limiting screen time to the recommended daily amounts (see advice)
  • Eating a healthy diet and trying new foods
  • Brushing their teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day (you'll need to supervise this until they are at least 7)
