Grade 3 · SEL · Lesson 22

Healthy Habit Choices

A habit is something you do regularly — often without thinking. Habits can be healthy (good for your body and mind) or unhealthy (harmful over time). The key insight is this: one choice is small, but repeated choices add up. A child who sleeps well, moves their body, eats varied foods, and manages screen time will feel and perform better than one who does not — not because of one day, but because of many days in a row.

What this lesson teaches

1Sort daily choices into healthy and unhealthy habits
2Explain how small daily choices build up over time to affect physical and emotional health
3Apply the habit loop of cue, routine, and reward to build one new healthy habit
