Take Care of Yourself

Get help when you are sick.

If you feel sick, be sure to tell someone who can help. You may need to see a doctor or get some treatment for the sickness. If you notice someone else who is sick, tell them to take care of themselves and help them do so.

Keep your body clean.

If you don’t wash your body often, you can have germs Germs can cause illness. Make sure you take a bath or a shower often and wash your hands when they get dirty.

Take care of your teeth.

Brush and floss your teeth often and do what the dentist tells you to keep your teeth clean and healthy.

Eat well

You need to eat regularly to have energy. Healthy food, not junk, gives you real energy. Sometimes you can forget to eat and you may feel tired or upset simply because you haven’t eaten. Eat healthy food regularly.

Get rest.

Make sure you get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, life is not much fun. You can feel bad or upset simply because you are tired. Go to bed at your bedtime or when you are tired, and get enough sleep.

Tell others to get enough rest too.

I wash my hands often and brush my teeth and get more sleep.
