How do I Create a Personal Hygiene Chart for Children?

Teaching your child about personal hygiene is an important step in helping her become independent. Once she learns how to do things like brush her teeth and change her clothes on her own, you won't have to worry about doing those tasks for her. Creating a personal hygiene to-do list chart will help educate your children on how to take care of themselves.

Instructions
1
Use a large poster board as your personal hygiene chart.

2
List all of the personal hygiene tasks you would like your child to complete on the left-hand side of the chart. The list should extend from the top of the left-hand side to the bottom of the left-hand side. Include things like brush your teeth, put on clean clothes, wash your hands and face, and take a bath. If your child isn't able to read yet, include images of tasks, like brushing teach, instead of writing the words.


3
Write the days of the week on the top of the board, extending from the left-hand side of the board to the right-hand side of the board.

4
Write "AM/PM" for each day and corresponding chore. If the task is something that only needs to be done once a day, like taking a shower, then only put AM or PM.

5
Tell your child to put a sticker on the chart when he completes each task. At the end of the day, there should be two stickers for each task that has to be completed twice a day, like brushing the teeth. This chart will be helpful until your child learns to do personal hygiene chores every day without being reminded.
