Hello dear readers and writers, how was your day? I'm sure most of you are having their day off or rest day today. A day with family or friends to enjoy together.

Hand washing

I think I dont need to define what is hand washing because I know that we already know it. But might be you could ask why I write an article with a title like this. Last week my son's activity or module talked about How do I make myself clean?

Hand washing is one of its focus. Students need to perform the proper hand washing. Do we already knew it? For sure yes, but sometimes we can forget to remind or inform our children to do so when needed.

After having that module and activity, there are times that my son do remind me to wash my hands first especially when we are about to eat. That's a good start. Children reminding their parents or siblings to wash hands is a sign that they will do it to themselves too.

We all know that proper hand washing involves in wetting our hands, put some soap, scrubbing or rubbing it many times (Others will sing a happy birthday song before its done) then rinsing it with clean water and dry it with air dryer or dry clean cloth.

When to wash hands

During this time of crisis, this time of pandemic, washing our hands has become a routine made almost everytime we have a transaction. Washing hands has become so much important than before. If washing our hands cannot be done, then we have to use sanitizer or alcohol to disinfect our hands.

When to wash hands? I will list some activities that washing our hands is so important. This activities applies both for children and adult.

• Before and after eating

• After using the toilet

• When you are sick or visited a sick person

• After handling animals

• After playing outside (for kids)

• When spending time with babies

Before and after eating

Washing our hands is very needed before eating. This is one way of making our hands clean before holding some thing or food.

Sometimes I became angry with my son because he keeps on cleaning his hands by rubbing it to his shirt while eating. When I ask him why he did it,because my hand is dirty or wet. Then, i told him to wash it after eating

After using the toilet

Washing hands after using the toilet is also is a must. Toilet is a place where we commonly release the dirt from our body through urinating and having poop, so, don't forget to wash your hands after doing it.

When you are sick or visited a sick person

When you are sick or visited a sick person make it also a habit to wash your hands so you make yourselves and others safe from passing or acquiring the virus or bacteria. This is very common when the pandemic strikes and even until these days.

After handling animals

Nowadays, most people love to take care animals as their pet like cats and most commonly dogs. Even children wants to have their own pet. They even let their pets sleep with them on their rooms.

Let us also remind ourselves to wash our hands after handling them. Might be some of their hair is in our hands. So, washing hands will be a good practice.

After playing outside

Kids do love playing outside. Playing basketball, riding a bike, riding a scooter, playing their toys with the sand and si many more to mention. Some parents are playing with their kids too. Parents, always remind your kids to wash hands after playing and off course wash your hands too.

When spending time with babies

Washing hands before spending time with babies is an instruction not just of kids but for every member of the family who loves to kiss, to touch and to talk to the baby most of the time.

Washing hands is now an essential part of our daily living. Make it a habit to wash your hands.
