Regardless of whether your children are schooled at home or in a school system, now is a great time to emphasize the importance of healthy and wise hygiene regarding hand-washing and flu prevention.
At home:
- Wash hands frequently (when kids walk in the door, before/after meals, after using potty, after touching pets, etc.).
- Keep germy areas especially clean (doorknobs, counters, bathrooms, etc.).
- Maintain healthy sleeping and eating habits in order to maximize immune system.
Away from home:
- Frequently wash and sanitize hands.
- Avoid crowds.
Additionally:
- Cover mouth (with elbow) when you cough or sneeze.
- Make a habit of throwing out used tissues.
- Avoid touching face especially eyes, nose and mouth.
- Maintain strict "do not share" rules regarding kids cups and drinks, etc.
