13. Nose-Picking Talk with Gigu: Learning about Healthy Habits
Mom: Gigu, sweetheart, come here for a moment.
Gigu: Yes, Mommy?
Mom: I noticed you were picking your nose earlier, darling.
Gigu: (looks sheepish) Sorry, Mommy.
Mom: It’s okay, love. But remember, we don’t want to pick our noses. If your nose feels blocked, what should you do?
Gigu: Um, go clean it?
Mom: Exactly! You can either use a tissue to gently clean your nose or blow it into the tissue. And what do you do after that?
Gigu: Wash hands!
Mom: That’s right! Washing our hands is very important. When we pick our noses, we can spread germs and make ourselves sick. Do you know what germs are?
Gigu: No, Mommy.
Mom: Germs are tiny things we can’t see that can make us feel yucky. We don’t want to let them into our bodies by picking our noses. So, next time your nose feels funny, remember to use a tissue and wash your hands afterward, okay?
Gigu: Okay, Mommy. I won’t pick my nose again.
Mom: Good boy! I’m proud of you, Gigu. Let’s keep those hands clean and stay healthy together.
