Hygiene for Kids: Your Body Is a Temple of the Holy Spirit
The body God gave you is worth taking care of.
For Parents
You've asked them to shower three times today, and they're still 'about to.' You've watched the toothbrush tour bypass the back molars again. This bonus episode anchors hygiene to 1 Corinthians 6:19, the 'your body is a temple' verse, and gives kids a practical reason to actually do the basics. Tonight, ask one question at the dinner table: 'what's one thing about your hygiene routine you could do a little better this week?' Then listen, no fix-it follow-up.
The One Thing for the Ride
“The body God gave you is worth taking care of.”

1 Corinthians 6:19
CSB
Key Takeaways

- Two minutes of teeth brushing twice a day, morning and night, hits every tooth and locks in the routine.
- Clean clothes every day. Yes, even the favorite shirt has to wait its turn.
- Pastor Justin voices Jesus with warm confidence: 'I made you exactly the way I wanted you, every part, so take care of it.'
