Hand Washing

BlogPicture

I cannot count the number of people I have seen in public toilets who just flush and go. There are even women who take the time to fix their make-up and their hair but do not bother to wash their hands.

Hand washing, when done correctly, has always been the best way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. And yet, many still don't practice good hand hygiene.

We should practice good hygiene. And, as parents, we should also make sure that our kids form this habit early in life. See comic on the left (thanks to KidsHealth.org) for some handy tips [pun intended] to convince the lil ones to wash more.

KidsHealth.org says… "Don't underestimate the power of hand washing! The few seconds you spend at the sink with your child could save you trips to the doctor's office." I couldn't agree more.
