5 Ways to Teach Kids About Personal Hygiene
Hands, especially small hands that are active playing and exploring, might be one of the most common carriers of infections. One of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your family against illness-causing bacteria is to wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and antibacterial soap.
Make A Chart For Hand Washing
Make a hand washing chart with the important times when your children should wash their hands with soap and warm water at home. As a visible incentive for their accomplishment, your children will enjoy crossing off their own hand washing chart.
Sing A Tune
Hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds with soap and water for effective hand washing. Teaching kids how to wash their hands to the melody of their favourite song – the music should be 20 seconds or slightly longer – is an excellent method to establish this habit. They'll know they've cleansed their hands for the proper amount of time after they've done singing.
Provide A Kid-friendly Handwashing Station
With a stool and Dettol Handwash, create a personalised washing station for your child at home. The easier your children find it to wash their hands, the less of a hassle it will appear to be.
Take Part In A Game
Turn handwashing into a game if encouraging your kids to do it feels like a war or a duty. Play "Whose hands smell the cleanest?" as an example. This should ensure that those hands are thoroughly scrubbed.
