2. Teach Germ warfare. Teach them how to sneeze into the crook of their elbow and to cover their mouth when they cough to prevent the spread of bacteria. Use clean tissue everytime theyhave to blow their nose, throw it away and towash their hands everytime.
3. Sanitize toys. Wash kids toys from time to time including their stuff toys and animals.
4. Always have wipes and alcohol or hand sanitizers ready with you. Either you are going to the park or to the mall, always have these things ready to wipe their hands, they are just as effective at cleaning hands.
