12 Behavior & Stress Management
13 Behavior & Stress Management It is important that you keep doing the new healthy behaviors you have learned, this is called behavior management. You may have a day when you eat too much candy or too much fatty food or don t get enough physical activity, it happens, don t sweat it! What s important is that you can get back on track with your healthy lifestyle plan quickly. Here are some tips to help you stay on track. Keep track of your progress Keep a food and physical activity log. If you need help, ask your parent/guardian Are you eating a well balanced diet with foods from all 5 food groups? Are you getting about an hour of physical activity a day? Manage stress Stress is a response by the body to certain events in our lives Many things can cause us to feel stressed like Going to a new school Talking in front of a group of people Taking a test Competing in a sporting event Stress can make you feel Excited Sad Mad Tired Hungry or not hungry Nervous Stress may cause A headache A stomachache You to sweat a lot Too much stress is not good for you and could cause health problems It is important to do activities that help you feel less stressed Do things you enjoy, to feel less stressed, Read a book Listen to music 8

What does a sunburn look and feel like? A sunburn turns skin red A sunburn hurts Sometimes a sunburn causes skin to blister How does your body lose fluid in the sun?

When your body loses more fluid than you take in when you drink and eat If you feel weak, tired, thirsty, dizzy or just don t feel right tell your coach or parent right away! What precautions should you take if you will be spending time in the sun? Wear sunscreen Always put sunscreen on all areas of your skin that will be exposed to the sun You will see a number on every sunscreen bottle that says SPF SPF stands for sun protection factor The higher the SPF number the more it will protect your skin from the sun s rays You should use a sunscreen that has an SPF of 15 or higher Be careful not to get sunscreen in your eyes, it can sting! Younger kids should have a parent/ guardian help them apply sunscreen Ask a parent/guardian to help you apply sunscreen to skin that will be exposed to the sun that is hard to reach like your back 18
34 Sun Safety

36 Personal Hygiene
37 Personal Hygiene What is hygiene? The things that you do to keep yourself and your surroundings clean in order to maintain good health. We are going to talk about two examples of personal hygiene: Hand washing Oral hygiene Hand Washing Why is hand washing important? GERMS!! They are tiny and you can t see them, but they are all around us and can make you sick! You could come in contact with germs when you touch objects like toilet seats, toilet levers, doorknobs, phones, keyboards, money, and almost any surface or object. If you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with germs on your hands, you could become sick. How does washing your hands stop the spread of germs? Washing your hands often and following the correct hand washing steps washes the germs off your hands, stops germs from spreading, and helps prevent you and others from becoming sick. Washing your hands is the #1 way to stop the spread of germs! 20
38 Personal Hygiene
39 When should you wash your hands? After going to the bathroom When they are dirty Before you eat or touch food Before and after you help prepare food in the kitchen After you cough, sneeze, or blow your nose After touching garbage If you touch a cut or scrape you have on your skin After playing with or touching pets or animals After playing outside Before and after you visit someone who is sick or not feeling well Other times your parent/guardian or healthcare provider tells you that you should What is needed to wash your hands? Clean running water Soap Clean towel or paper towel How should you wash your hands? 1. Turn on the water faucet. 2. Wet your hands with warm water. 3. Put enough soap on your hands to completely cover all surfaces. 4. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds by rubbing them together and make sure you: Clean all sides of your hands, fingers, and wrists. Clean between your fingers. Clean under your fingernails; germs can hide there! You can count to 20 slowly, sing your ABC s, or sing the Happy Birthday song 2 times to make sure you spend enough time washing your hands. 5. Rinse your hands with warm water and make sure you get all the soap off. 6. Dry your hands with a clean towel or paper towel. 21
40 Personal Hygiene
41 Oral Hygiene What is oral hygiene? The things you can do to keep your mouth and teeth healthy. What can happen if I don t have good oral hygiene? A sticky film called plaque can build up on your teeth and cause cavities. Plaque can also cause gingivitis, which is when your gums (the pink tissue in your mouth) can become red, swollen, and hurt. Bad breath What should you do to keep your mouth and teeth healthy and strong? Brush your teeth Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day for 2-3 minutes after breakfast and before bedtime. Brush your teeth after lunch if you can, and after eating or drinking sugary foods or drinks. Use toothpaste with fluoride 1. It is important that you use the right toothpaste for your age. Your dentist will tell you and your parent(s)/ guardian(s) the kind of toothpaste you should use every day and how much toothpaste you should use each time you brush your teeth. 2. Do not swallow toothpaste; spit it in the sink after brushing. Brush all of your teeth on all sides. Use a soft bristle toothbrush; your dentist will tell you what kind is best. Use a new toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if you have been sick and then throw away your old toothbrush. What is fluoride? Fluoride is in many toothpastes and some mouth rinses. Fluoride helps to keep the hard outer layer of the tooth, called tooth enamel, strong and helps prevent cavities. 22
42 Personal Hygiene
43 Your dentist will tell you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) if you should use a mouth rinse. If your dentist says you should use mouth rinse, he/she will tell you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) the type of mouth rinse to use and give directions how to use it safely. Floss your teeth Flossing cleans between your teeth. Your teeth should be flossed once a day. If you need help flossing your teeth, ask your parent(s)/guardian(s) to help you. Your dentist will recommend the best and easiest product to use to floss your teeth, and will give instructions on how to use it. See your dentist You should visit your dentist for a cleaning and check-up two times a year and follow your dentist s instructions to keep your mouth and teeth healthy. It is very important that you always follow the oral hygiene instructions your dentist, dental hygienist, and parent(s)/ guardian(s) give you so you can keep your mouth and teeth healthy, and be safe when performing oral hygiene. Limit or avoid sugary snacks or drinks like candy and soda Sugar on your teeth can cause cavities. If you eat or drink something sugary, brush your teeth as soon as you can afterwards. Drink water instead of soda or sugary drinks. Eat fruit for a sweet snack instead of candy. Chew sugar-free gum. 23
