The Importance of Handkerchiefs in Preschool
A handkerchief, though small, carries great significance, especially for preschoolers. It’s not just a personal item but also a “little friend” accompanying children throughout their day at school. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, a preschool education expert with over 20 years of experience, emphasized in her book “Raising Children with Love and Affection”: “A handkerchief not only helps children maintain personal hygiene but also helps them develop self-reliance from a young age.”
Maintaining Hygiene, Preventing Diseases
At preschool age, children’s immune systems are still weak and easily attacked by bacteria. Using their own handkerchief will help them avoid contracting respiratory diseases, hand, foot, and mouth disease, etc. Children can use handkerchiefs to wipe away sweat, wipe their hands after playing with toys, wipe their mouths after eating, and keep their noses and throats warm in cold weather. “Prevention is better than cure,” our ancestors taught us wisely!
Developing Self-Reliance in Children
Carrying and using a handkerchief regularly helps children develop the habit of taking care of themselves. They will learn how to maintain personal hygiene, wipe their faces and hands when needed without needing help from adults. Preschoolers dancing
