Getting your kids to wash their hands
Washing your hands regularly is a great swine flu preventative measure. We know that, our kids know that, but it isn’t always easy to get them to follow through with it. Simply by washing our hands regularly, we can help prevent the spread of swine flu and many other germs and diseases. So, how do you get your kids to wash their hands regularly without whining about it? Here are some tips that might help:
Washing your hands can help prevent the spread of swine flu
- It’s best to soap up for 20 seconds or more. A good way to ensure your kids do this is have them sing a quick little song like “Happy Birthday” twice.
- Be a good example for your kids and lather up! In the process, encourage your kids to teach their dolls to do the same.
- Make sure your kids can reach the sink easily. I know at first, my little guy had some problems with that, a step stool in the bathroom really helped.
- This is common sense, but sometimes we simply forget. Keep your kid’s fingernails clipped. Smaller nail means less hiding places for those nasty swine flu germs.
- Remember to keep a bottle of hand sanitizer readily available.
- Another great idea is to carry a pack of sanitizing hand wipes in your purse, so that you have them readily available while you are out and about.
