Seven to nine is when hygiene stops being something done to your child and becomes something they do.
This course is about that handover — and it teaches the why rather than the rules, because around seven that becomes possible.
A seven-year-old can follow a chain: bacteria make acid, acid dissolves mineral, spit puts it back, a hole appears when the first keeps beating the second.
Four steps. They can hold that, and reason from it. A five-year-old cannot.
What's inside:
· Too Small to See — what a germ actually is, and the thing children are never told: most germs do nothing to you, and germ-free is not the goal. Includes a glitter experiment that ends with washing it off in water alone, so it is still there
· Twenty Seconds — soap as a molecule with a water-liking end and a grease-liking end, which is accurate and which a seven-year-old can picture. Timed at a sink. Hot water is no better than cold
· The Sticky Stuff on Your Teeth — they feel plaque with their tongue, then learn it is a house bacteria built, which is why scrubbing is the active part. They work out for themselves why a candy every hour beats a whole cookie
· A Real Wash, And A Quick One — the parts everybody misses, framed as places that get missed rather than evidence of being dirty. Plus, why sweat starts to smell, for the ones it has started for
· The Front of the Package — the first marketing literacy in this subject. The front is designed to make you want it; the back is the part with rules. A picture of fruit is not a promise of fruit
· My Routine, And Telling Someone — habit hooks, what is worth telling a grown-up, and a first sentence ready to use Every idea has something to feel, do, time or look at. There is no page that is only reading.
Every file is a PDF.
Fill them in on a computer, or print them. You get both editions — full color, and a print-friendly version that uses about half the ink.
Same words, same pages. Print whichever suits the day. Every course includes a parent guide written for that age, and a short page on how to practice the material so it is still there next year.
One purchase covers your own family. Print as many copies as you need for your own children. Two children at the same age level? One purchase is enough.
Two children at different age levels? Each age is genuinely different material.
