With the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, many parents are concerned about how to keep their children safe. At My Place, the health and safety of your children is a top priority, and we know that handwashing is one of the healthy habits that should be made part of a child’s routine at an early age.
Here are some other ways you can build hygiene into your child’s routine to help healthy habits last a lifetime:
Help your child wash their hands before and after every meal, after using the toilet, and after playing outside.
Sanitize high-traffic areas at home such as doorknobs, countertops, tables, and toys.
Do regular temperature checks to monitor your child for a fever.
Teach your child to cough and sneeze into the crook of their elbow instead of their hands.
Wear a mask when going out with your child, and have your child wear one too. There are many kid-friendly cloths masks available.
Strengthen your child’s immunity with healthy foods and plenty of sleep.
Discourage sharing of food or drinks, even if the other person isn’t sick. This will help establish the healthy habit for the future.
Keep active! Exercise helps to boost the immune system. Try to go outside as a family, while retaining proper physical distance from others.
At My Place, we make health and wellness a top priority. Some of the measures we’re taking to ensure your child’s safety are: Social distancing, wearing masks, performing temperature checks, frequent handwashing, consistently sanitizing classrooms, outside drop-off and pick-up, and asking families to keep their child home if they’re sick.
