This can be a brutal time of year when it comes to passing around flu and cold bugs. Plus, kids are magnets for dirt and germs. We have learned that staying healthy is more sustainable if we are washing our hands often. That’s why we have Softsoap Antibacterial hand soap in our bathrooms and kitchen. If you are in what seems like an endless season of sickness, try stepping up the hand washing. Fellow writer, Carinn, shared this status and I thought it was so clever. We all have been there.
We have 3 sinks in our home and 3 kids. When we walk in the door they each pick a sink and wash their hands. More truthfully stated…they all fight over what sink they will use and wash their hands. I have seen a remarkable difference in our health when we are being diligent about washing our hands.
From the time our little ones started potty training we’ve taught them to wash their hands after using the restroom. I like to teach independence in these areas. Have a stool set up and keep the soap where they can reach it. If you teach them these healthy habits young, it will become second nature.
It always feels a bit like we are on an episode of Little House in the Prairie, but we “wash up” before dinner too. We have everyone wash their hands and then help set the table. You know, have them clean their hands before they are touching the silverware we are about to eat off of. We are still working on trying not to touch the eating end of our cutlery when setting the table.
