Wellness is essential to a healthy life. Sometimes, people don't really consider what constitutes well-being, they just think it's "good." Wellness can be a state of well-being, however it incorporates different areas such as nutrition, health, safety, nourishment and emotional stability. People must be healthy in all these areas to achieve well-being. This is not an easy task for an adult but definitely not for children. To achieve well-being, children are completely dependent on the adults in their lives; parents/guardians, friends and teachers. To achieve well-being, teachers/guardians must model and exhibit appropriate behaviors, such as physical exercise, healthy eating habits, personal hygiene, emotional satisfaction, and knowledge of healthy habits. Children start learning it first at home with their parents/guardians. Teachers are the next important person in a child's life to help him or her achieve well-being (Sorte, et al., 2011). It is essential that teachers and families work together to achieve children's well-being. They must be role models and examples for children. After reading and completing the assessment at the end of the first chapter, the author realizes that well-being has not been as much of a priority for her and her family as it should be. The author sees areas where good techniques are applied to teach her children to achieve well-being. He also sees areas where improvements need to be made. Teach his family good hygiene, in a loving and nurturing environment. Also buy healthy snacks such as fruit, low-fat cheese, skim milk and yogurt. However, also buy some biscuits and crisps. These items are not good snacks. He realizes that... halfway through the paper... it won't be a good situation since the children will be the ones who suffer. Wellbeing is a very important part of teaching. If everyone works collectively in communicating and role modeling regarding well-being, the outcome will speak for itself with successful children living enriched lives.
