Why Is HandWashing So Important?A delicious mud pie, a good-luck rock or
a friendly frog are just a few of the presentschildren love to bring home to Mom andDad. But did you know that behind thoseadorable gifts – and countless others – mil-lions of germs could be lurking?
Kids may not always listen when you tellthem to wash their hands before eating, butit’s a message worth repeating. Hand wash-ing is by far the best way to prevent germsfrom spreading and to keep your kids fromgetting sick.
The First Line of DefenseAgainst Germs
Germs – such as bacteria and viruses –can be transmitted several different ways,especially by touching dirty hands or chang-ing dirty diapers. Other ways germs spreadinclude:
• through contaminated water and food• through droplets released during a
cough or a sneeze• through contaminated surfaces• through a sick person’s body fluidsIf kids pick up germs from one of these
sources, they can unknowingly becomeinfected simply by touching their eyes, noseor mouth. And once they’re infected, it’s usu-ally just a matter of time before the wholefamily comes down with the same illness.
Good hand washing is your first line ofdefense against the spread of many illness-es – and not just the common cold. Moreserious illnesses such as meningitis, bron-chiolitis, influenza, hepatitis A and mosttypes of infectious diarrhea can be stoppedwith the simple act of washing your hands.
How toWashYour Hands CorrectlyHere are some simple steps for scrub-
bing those germs away. Demonstrate thisroutine to your child – or better yet, washyour hands together with your child severaltimes a day so he or she learns how impor-tant this good habit is.
1.Wash your hands in warm water. Makesure the water isn’t too hot for little hands.
2. Use soap and lather up for about 10 to15 seconds (antibacterial soap isn’t neces-sary – any soap will do.) Make sure you getin between the fingers and under the nailswhere uninvited germs like to hang out. Anddon’t forget the wrists!
3. Rinse and dry well with a clean towel.To minimize the germs passed around
your family, make frequent hand washing arule for everyone, especially:
• before eating and cooking• after using the bathroom• after cleaning around the house
• after touching animals, including familypets
• before and after visiting or taking careof any sick friends or relatives
• after blowing one’s nose, coughing orsneezing
• after being outside (playing, gardening,walking the dog, etc.)
Don’t underestimate the power of hand-washing! The few seconds you spend at thesink with your child could save you trips tothe doctor’s office.
Germs! One in three people do notwash their hands afterusing the restroom.
