The care of personal belongings means looking after your items so that they stay clean, organized, and in good condition. This includes keeping your things safe, repairing any damages, and being careful when using them.
🧹 Key Guidelines for the Care of Personal Belongings

- Keep Items Clean: Regularly clean your belongings to keep them in good condition. Wipe off dirt and dust from your clothes, books, and shoes. Clean your desk to keep things organized.
- Organize Properly: Store your things in designated places. Keep books on shelves, clothes in wardrobes, and shoes in racks. Use labeled boxes for small items like toys and stationery.
- Handle With Care: Be gentle with your belongings. Avoid dropping or roughly handling fragile items. For example, hold books by the spine and fold clothes neatly.
- Regular Maintenance: Check your belongings for damage. Repair or replace broken items right away to prevent bigger problems, like fixing a loose shoe sole or sewing up small holes in clothes.
- Respect Others’ Belongings: Always ask before using someone else’s things. Return borrowed items in the same condition, like not breaking a pencil or losing a toy.
- Store Items Properly: Keep your things in safe places. Store gadgets away from water or sharp objects, and keep your schoolbag away from food or drinks.
- Use Protective Covers: Protect fragile items with covers or cases. Use a phone case to prevent damage and cover books to keep them clean.
- Don’t Overload or Overuse Items: Avoid overloading bags or overusing items. Give your belongings some rest, like not stuffing your schoolbag too full or wearing the same shoes every day.
