We know that hand hygiene is very important thus we do handwashing to keep us away from getting sick. Medical professionals had their proper way of handwashing and decontamination but at home we do handwashing with soap and water by rubbing hands together vigorously for 15 seconds covering all surface prevent germs spreading.
Our kids at home, we taught them how to wash their hands by singing 2 times the happy birthday song and only at the end of the second time they can rinse their hands.
We told them that they need to wash their hands after using the restroom, before and after their meals at home or eating meals in restaurants/fastfoods and after they played.
Do you teach your kids the importance and proper way of handwashing, when do they need to handwash and how often?

Hello Sheanne,
I strongly agree with you....handwashing is very important to everyone...It's for hygiene purposes & for prevention of spread of diseases.. I guess it should always be a part of school & every household to teach children as early as possible the correct way & beneficial use of proper handwashing...

Hai Sheanne..I'm agree with you. I'm sure sometimes children or maybe the adults can got stomache or another because they never keep clean their hands. So, that is very importan to washing our hands everyday or each time as we can do :)
Have a good day and have a nice day :D
