Biologically, a child (children) is generally a human between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.

Child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such as sons and daughters of any age) or, metaphorically, an authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties"

Cleanliness is one of the key factors for maintaining health, hygiene unfortunately it is rarely used as a priority value to be imparted to children from an early age in the family and at school. Actually clean habits in adulthood, is determined by the clean living habits since childhood.

Introducing the concept of early hygiene means since newborns are introduced to the concept of clean living. Parents, always trying to keep the body and the baby's clothes. Thus, the infant gradually child will be familiar with the concept of clean and feel uncomfortable if the environment is dirty. Furthermore, at the age of five a child who has been able to communicate well and maybe a bit much can be given various interpretations by the argument, then the concept of cleanliness that you want can be taught with communication while playing and others.

For example: a person can suffer from diarrhea just because lazy to wash hands before taking food or let the food is not covered or treated in a way that is not hygienic. Likewise with used clothing, should be washed every day because of dirty clothes is where the growth and development of fungi that can cause a variety of skin diseases. And skin diseases in children, usually the recovery will take quite a long time because the child usually cannot resist the urge to scratch excessively itchy skin.

Sleeping position is sometimes difficult to change because it has become a habit and sometimes if we do not get the usual sleeping position, we will be difficult to fall asleep. But do you know if the sleep position has an impact and influence on health.

The sleeping position is the body configuration assumed by a person during or prior to sleeping. Six basic sleeping positions have been identified:

• Fetus (41%) – curling up in a fetal position. This was the most common position, and is especially popular with women.
• Log (15%) – lying on one's side with the arms down the side.
• Yearner (13%) – sleeping on one's side with the arms in front.
• Soldier (8%) – on one's back with the arms pinned to the sides.
• Freefall (7%) – on one's front with the arms around the pillow and the head tilted to one side.
• Starfish (5%) – on one's back with the arms around

• Sleep in the supine position. This position is great for balancing the weight keeping state organs in the body. This position is very to the spine because it can reduce neck pain and back pain after waking. But it's good on the knees / legs propped up using pillows to help alignment forms the back. But sleep in this position will result in those who are obese can be snoring, snoring can be very hard even once so wake sleeping friend.

Sleep in this position can reduce pressure on the back. It should be remembered, when side sleeping position, try to keep the pillow on the head so that the head does not go down and the spine remains in a neutral position 
• Sleeping Stomach. The prone sleeping position is not recommended for this type of sleep is very risky to your spine.

It can disrupt the alignment of the spine in the neck," said Jonathan FitzGordon, an Alignment Specialist from NYC. In addition, the neck will hurt having to prop up the head. As a result, you will wake up with neck pain and tingling in the back and neck area.

Wash your hands, EARLY STEP HEALTHY LIVING

Believe it or not, but wash your hands in the middle of a conversation around the world, even the world campaigning to become a culture that we call culture of handwashing. Actually, Indonesia has long been promoting hand washing was proved when we were in elementary school we used to be taught by the teacher how to wash hands properly, but it must be admitted, in recent years, hand washing has been taught in schools now disappeared. Admittedly still a lot of people who are lazy to wash hands, especially in those with low education and low concern.

When do we have to wash your hands? Wash hands not only before and after meals and before bed. Wash hands it should be done as often as possible after we touched foreign objects or outside our place, or it could be after we hold an object which we doubt it clean.

Remember, holding an object that we do not know it clean, it means that we have moved millions of germs that are not known to us from the hand into the mouth. Furthermore, these germs will then go into the mouth and breed in our bodies.

Why are we lazy hand washing? Our laziness hand washing is due to our ignorance of what the worst possible thing that could happen to us. Moreover, the habit of eating snacks and meals at places slob makes us forget to wash your hands.

Let us imagine something like this; We're going to ride the train station every day, suddenly the person next to you sneeze, sneeze with to wrap his hand to his nose and mouth. Hand former sneezes close them and then put back on the handle of the wagon seat. When the men left, accidentally our hands, we put in place the person's hand. That's when the chair to transfer germs from our hands. Once off the train, we bought breakfast and holding fried by hand earlier. That's when the transfer of germs from hands to our mouths, and within six hours later, we will join sneezing like men.

Then how, what should we do next? It's easy, try to wash your hands frequently, from habit and make culture. That way hopefully we avoid infection.
