Tip #8: Make sure your child is neat and clean.

Your child's body, clothes, and teeth should be neat and clean. Other children may not want to be around a child who is not clean and even make fun of a child because of their hygiene. Set out what they will wear the night before and even have your child bathe at night if possible. This will become a lifelong habit that will guide them into adulthood. All children should brush their teeth in the morning and at night. They should also floss their teeth once a day to maintain good dental hygiene. Hair should be clean and neatly combed and brushed. All of this should help your child feel good about themselves and have confidence to stand up for themselves or what they believe in. A child cannot learn their best if they are constantly worried about their appearance. Also you never want others to point out the cleanliness of your child.
