Habits are actions that you do so often that you may not even know that you are doing them. Biting your nails or sucking your thumb are habits. These habits can help people relax when they are worried or tired. You can learn habits. Brushing your teeth before you go to bed, doing your homework before you play with your friends, and hanging up your clothes as soon as you take them off are habits you learn.
Habits can be good or bad.
Good habits are those that help you stay healthy and keep you safe. Washing your hands before you eat is a good habit. Looking both ways before you cross a street is another good habit. Sometimes people learn bad habits. Not wearing a helmet when you ride a bicycle and eating candy and snacks in between meals are some bad habits.
