Hygiene
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Children should have tissues available if necessary. The used tissues should be discarded immediately after use, and your child should was his/her hand with SOAP and water. When a child coughs or sneezes, instruct them to do so into their elbow to reduce the chance of spreading their illness. Remember, hand washing is the first and easiest defense against germs.
