In this free online course, we will teach you the importance of cleaning infants and how this step leads to a healthy and happy life. First, we will explore how to perform cleaning of the face, mouth, teeth and hands in children. Next, you will learn how to protect the skin from external environmental factors with suitable clothing. Nutrition is influential in the growth, development, protection and improvement of infant health. You will research food in children and its importance and gain skills related to personal cleaning, grooming and toileting needs in ages 1-6 according to hygiene regulations. We will also learn how important it is for the child's physical health.
This course will explain how to toilet train young children and the various features of children's clothing. Do you want to know what to consider for the child's comfort and what difficulties they will have in dressing and undressing? We will cover all these topics before delving into the role cognitive development plays in the acquisition of dressing skills. Attaining correct sleep habits in children is a vital and challenging process. We will look at the importance of rest, the importance of gaining proper sleep, rest habits and the nutritional needs of children ages 1-6. We will then look in depth at the dietary characteristics and issues of the pre-school period.
We will then discuss what personal cleaning skills are required for special-needs individuals. We will discuss performance determination and skill analysis for special-needs individuals. In addition, we will look at the different types of support used when teaching individuals with special needs. This course will also explain other reinforcers and personal cleaning techniques for special-needs individuals. We will then explore the difference between social and objective reinforcers in detail.
