"Tight bands or waists hinder the action of the heart and lungs, and should be avoided. No part of the body should at any time be made uncomfortable by clothing that compresses any organ or restricts its freedom of movement. The clothing of all children should be loose enough to admit of the freest and fullest respiration, and so arranged that the shoulders will support its weight. MH 382.2"
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
Both passages relate to the care and respect for the body. The EGW passage gives practical advice on clothing to allow for proper bodily function, while 1 Corinthians 6:19 speaks of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, implying a need for its proper care.
"Mothers who desire their boys and girls to possess the vigor of health should dress them properly and encourage them in all reasonable weather to be much in the open air. It may require effort to break away from the chains of custom, and dress and educate the children with reference to health; but the result will amply repay the effort. MH 382.5"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW passage directly applies the principle of Proverbs 22:6, emphasizing the importance of training children in healthy habits from a young age, which aligns with the proverb's focus on guiding children in the right way.
