One of the fundamental hygiene lessons we teach our children is oral hygiene. After all, having a good set of teeth is essential for everyone's physical and social growth. As we chew our food, it improves nutrient absorption and digestion in our bodies as well as speech development in children. We should be diligent about taking care of our teeth.

Every Confection and Sweet Drink We Have Ever Tried
"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.” This quote is really famous you can see it on many printable items out there.

Send the Beloved Child on a Journey
かわいいこにはたびをさせよ。(Kawaii ko niwa tabi o saseyo) - Send the beloved child on a journey. The above is a Japanese quote that highlights letting a child develop independence and self-reliance than letting it grow up in a sheltered environment.
