Sleep Well Every Night

Good sleep makes you feel happy and ready for the day. Children need about 10 hours of sleep each night. Before bed, try to relax — read a book or listen to calm music. A dark, quiet room helps your body and mind rest well.

Walk and Move Your Body

Walking is one of the easiest ways to stay healthy. Try to walk for 30 minutes every day — you can walk to school or play outside. Exercise like walking makes your heart strong and helps you think better. Moving your body also makes you feel happy and calm.

A habit is something you do every day without thinking. Try to make healthy habits part of your routine. Do things at the same time each day — drink water in the morning, walk after school, and go to bed at the same time. Good habits help you feel your best.
