Handwashing is a simple, easy, and efficient approach to stop the transmission of germs and maintain both children’s and adults’ health. You won’t have to worry about skipping work, school, or other obligations when your family is well. As a provider of childcare services, we are aware that we have a big part to play in teaching kids to wash their hands. If we start teaching handwashing at a young age, it can develop into a lifelong, healthy habit.

Since kids often touch their mouths, noses, and eyes so frequently, the pathogen can enter our systems and cause a variety of diseases. Because children share snacks, toys, and other items with one another all the time at daycare and preschool in Texas, washing hands is a crucial weapon in their arsenal against pathogens. Here are some tips to easily teach handwashing to kids:

• Make it enjoyable by purchasing soaps with their favorite characters or ones that are amusing and smell like fruit.
• Remind as frequently as needed. When dirt is visibly present, such as finger paint or mud, children will wash their hands. It will be necessary to remind them to wash away invisible germs.
• Set a good example. Prior to eating or preparing food, after using the restroom, and after using your hands for work or play, wash your hands.
