Hand washing is the first line of defense against the spread of infectious disease. |
|
It’s never too early to teach children about proper habits and hand washing techniques. |
 |
According to a recent hand washing study (to be released soon), children as young as three can grasp the importance and the techniques of proper hand washing. |
|
Arm children with hand washing knowledge. Teach them about germs, when to wash, and how to wash. |
|
Parents and teachers can make hand washing fun with games, special rewards, Lather Up for Good Health® lesson plans, and bathroom incentives, like fun soap or the child's own monogrammed towel.
|
|
Adults should lead by example. Children pay attention to adult behavior. Be sure you practice good hand washing hygiene and kids will follow. |
|
Keep Softsoap® on hand. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, liquid soap products are easier for children to use. |
