For moms and dads, the biggest thing these days is that “school is finally starting”. Some moms may be excited and say, “School is finally starting! Some moms may be a little sad to say: “Finally, school is starting,” and no matter what kind of mood they are in, there is a phenomenon that parents should be aware of, and that is, children who have just entered kindergarten are especially prone to illness. Often, when a child in kindergarten gets sick, other children also get sick one after another. This is the so-called “school season = sick season”. So what can be done to make children in kindergarten less sick? 1, good hygiene habits: wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands! Over the past hundred years, human life expectancy has increased from about 31 years at the beginning of the 20th century to about 70 years today. How did mankind create such a huge miracle? A daily activity so mundane that one almost ignores it has played an important role in this journey: hand washing! Hands are an important vector for the spread of disease-causing bacteria. Each person has about 100 types of bacteria on each hand, and a pair of unwashed hands can contain up to hundreds of thousands of germs! Proper and effective hand washing can remove most of the pathogenic bacteria from your hands. Hand hygiene is an important, cost-effective measure to prevent and control the spread of disease. As the old saying goes, “The doctor who treats the disease before it happens”, meaning that a skilled doctor helps prevent people from getting sick, and the importance of hand hygiene is exactly the same. Just knowing how to wash your hands is not enough, you have to be able to wash your hands! The World Health Organization recommends a standard hand washing method, called the six-step hand washing method, hand washing time of more than 40 seconds or more, you can improve the hand hygiene rate of 30%-40%, the first step, palms facing each other, fingers together, rubbing each other; step two, palms against the back of the hands, along the fingers scrubbing each other; step three, palms facing each other, hands crossed along the fingers rubbing each other. Step four, the two hands hold each other, rubbing each other; step five, one hand holding the other thumb, rotating friction in the palm; step six, fingertip rubbing palm. Parents should teach their children to develop the habit of washing their hands from a young age and not to rub their eyes or pull out their nostrils with their hands, which is a good habit that will last them a lifetime. 2.Help children better adapt to kindergarten life Children enter the new environment of kindergarten, leaving the familiar family and environment, in an unfamiliar environment is bound to produce fear and anxiety, more or less affect the child’s physiological function, physical resistance is reduced.

Some children are picky eaters and have an unbalanced diet, which can easily cause anemia and lack of some vitamins or trace elements, and lower resistance, so they are prone to repeated colds or other infectious diseases. Adequate sleep is also an important condition for children’s development, some children sleep late and less, plus parents love to stay up late, children’s sleep time is not guaranteed, affecting the growth and development of children, while making children overly tired and prone to illness.
