As the back-to-school season rolls in, parents everywhere brace themselves for the inevitable wave of germs that accompany the start of the academic year. With classrooms being a hotbed for bacteria and viruses, it’s no wonder that many children find themselves under the weather. However, the great news is that with a bit of diligence and some proactive measures, you’ll help your little ones dodge those pesky germs and stay healthy. Here are ten simple practices that will allow your children kick off the school year in top form.
TEACH PROPER HANDWASHING
The cornerstone of germ prevention is proper handwashing. It’s wise to teach your children how to wash their hands effectively - using soap and water, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds, and not forgetting the backs of their hands and under their nails. Make it a fun activity by singing a short song like ‘Happy Birthday’ twice to ensure they get the timing right.
PACK HAND SANITISER
For times when soap and water aren’t available, hand sanitiser is the next best thing. Slip a small bottle into your child’s backpack and encourage its use, especially before eating lunch or snacks. Try to opt for a sanitiser specifically designed for children’s sensitive skin.
