Abstract

In early childhood, a child must get good habits to live a healthy life. After children get to know how to do, they must carry out by their self-controlled will. This study is planed to know the degree of self-controlled habits, and the instructions in their house and kindergarten. The results of this study are as follows. (1) Others-controlled habits change to self-controlled habits as children grow older. But even five years children can't carry out well by their self-controlled will for hand washing, teeth cleaning and gargling. (2) There is a correlation between getting-up and going-to-bed time and different health habits. (3) Children show the larger degree of health habits in kindergarten than in their house. (4) Proportion of how to hand wash, mouth wash and teeth clean decrease at five. But proportion of the reason why they must behave so about them doesn't increase.
