There’s no magical age at which a child suddenly becomes reliable at washing her hands thoroughly. Most youngsters tend to skimp on this vital task when they’re tired or there are other things they’d rather do.
especially when she’s really hungry, or it’s her favourite food. You can help by supervising her, maybe also washing your hands alongside her to set a good example.
you can expect your child to be both hungry and tired. But thorough washing is essential for getting rid of grime accumulated during the school day.
particularly on trains and buses, ensure your child washes her hands thoroughly before rushing off to play or eat.
it’s especially important to wash hands properly after visits to tourist attractions like theme parks, farm parks, and petting zoos.
Your child may be tempted to rush hand-washing just to get it over with and get out. But it’s more necessary than ever to maintain good hygiene when using the toilet away from home.
Children learn by example so a good role model always helps
