Germs and Kids: An Irresistible Attraction

When it comes to germs and kids, an irresistible attraction is imminent. What can you do to avoid these two opposites from becoming attracted to each other?

• Teach your child to cover his or her mouth when coughing. 
•  Have them wash their hands frequently, especially before and after dinner, after using the bathroom, or touching animals. 
•  Place hand wipes in your child’s lunchbox, so she can wash her hands before and after lunch.
•  Tell your child not to share lunch with classmates.
•  Ensure that sheets and pillowcases are washed regularly.
• Vacuum and dust your child’s room at least once a week.
• Make sure your child is properly vaccinated against all diseases.

Children have a wonderful curiosity; especially when presented with something new and shiny. Whenever buying a toy or stuffed animal, read the label to determine if there are caustic or toxic chemicals. While you can’t keep your child in a germ-free bubble, you can take certain precautions to ensure their attraction to germs are limited.
