We take care of ourselves

The children in MOPI (Pedagogical Model for Children) are engaged in the We take care of ourselves learning node to find out about and pick up healthy habits in aspects related to our diet, hygiene, sleep and physical exercise.

Sometimes people do not feel completely well, or indeed feel really bad. After an introduction to the topic, the children in Early Childhood Education then explore what health is and how we can make sure that we and our families and friends achieve physical and emotional wellbeing.

In this learning node, we draw parallels with the ever-changing world around us to meet the needs of the communities in which we live.

The prompt questions below help us to learn how important it is to stick to healthy guidelines every day.

  • Which habits help us to be healthier? How can we prevent illnesses?
  • What is the primary role of doctors?
  • What things should we keep in mind for a healthy diet?
  • Why do we need to do physical exercise?
  • Why do we need to sleep? How can we sleep better? Which strategies help us relax?

How important is hygiene for our health?

The node is a Jesuïtes Educació methodology which fosters community learning in Early Childhood Education.
