Let children understand the importance of handwashing and how to cultivate the habit of handwashing

The first step in teaching children to wash their hands is to inform them about the meaning of handwashing, and then to teach them the correct way to wash their hands and increase their interest in handwashing, so that children can love handwashing and strengthen hand hygiene.

1. Inform children of the significance of handwashing: It is necessary to tell children the meaning of handwashing, and make it clear that handwashing is to reduce the infection of diseases and to develop good hygiene habits;

2. Teach the correct way to wash your hands: It is very important to teach young children the correct way to wash your hands. Wet your hands with warm water and apply hand sanitizer or baby soap to your hands and wrists.

After that, rub each other's palms, alternately rub the back of the opposite hand and the finger seam with both hands, rub the fingers with both hands crossed, bend the fingers left and right alternately rub the knuckles, rub the thumbs alternately with each other, rotate and rub the palms on the opposite side between the five fingers, and finally rub the left and right wrists and rinse them with water. Wash your hands for no less than 15-20 seconds. If children cannot remember how to wash their hands well, parents can also post brochures of children's correct handwashing steps next to the sink at home, so that children can master the correct handwashing sequence;

3. Improve children's interest in handwashing: The steps of handwashing can be compiled into a nursery rhyme, so that children can sing and wash their hands at the same time, so as to improve children's interest in handwashing. You can also ask children to teach some cartoons about hand washing, tell some small stories about hand hygiene, and guide children to wash their hands correctly.

Frequent handwashing of children can reduce the risk of illness from the mouth, and it is important to be vigilant about hand wound infections, because once the virus invades the bloodstream, it can cause various problems. Therefore, people are encouraged to wash their hands frequently, and some experts say that in most cases, washing hands with ordinary soap and water is sufficient. Hand disinfection is mainly used by healthcare workers and in hospital settings, where there are many pathogenic microorganisms and they can spread easily.

When to wash your hands can prevent disease.

In the past, people used to say that "disease comes from the mouth". In fact, in the process of "illness from the mouth", our two hands play an irreplaceable role in taking, taking, receiving, and sending. Some common diseases, such as facial infections, colds, intestinal bacterial infections, etc., may be transmitted through "disease entry".

Therefore, before and after meals, before and after using the toilet, before taking medicine, after contact with blood, tears, nasal discharge, phlegm and saliva; After the cleaning is done; After touching the coin; After contact with others; After getting dirty while playing outside; After outdoor sports, homework, shopping; Before holding your child, be sure to pay attention to hand hygiene.

Yes, children have poor immunity!

Sickness comes in the mouth, hands touch food!

Frequent handwashing can reduce the entry of pathogens into your child's body!

The development of children's good handwashing habits includes two aspects: first, let children understand and master the correct way to wash their hands (six-step method), and then through long-term consistent training, children can develop good habits - wash hands consciously when their hands are dirty, take the initiative to wash their hands before and after meals, and save water when washing their hands.

Before developing good handwashing habits in young children, we first need to check whether the environment created for young children to wash their hands is appropriate. Hardware facilities and equipment should be complete, including appropriate size soap, children's towels, etc., and if conditions permit, kindergartens in the north can provide warm water to wash hands in winter. As teachers, we also need to create an educational environment where children wash their hands, such as step-by-step charts for handwashing.

In addition to having the right environment, we need to make children understand the questions "why do you wash your hands?", "Are your hands clean?", and "When should you wash your hands?". You can carry out the activity of "observing the hand washing water", so that children can intuitively feel that washing their hands can wash away the stains on their hands. For example, after an outdoor activity, we bring a basin of water and ask a child to wash their hands in the basin to see how the water changes.

The children saw the water in which they had washed their hands and exclaimed, "It's so dirty!" I asked the child to rub the soap and wash it again, and the water became even dirtier.

In addition, you can also let young children understand the dirty things that cannot be seen on their hands by showing the ** of bacteria. Teach your toddler to wash their hands after drawing and outdoor activities, before eating and drinking, after touching dirty things, and before and after using the toilet. Only by answering these questions can we stimulate children's intrinsic motivation and need to wash their hands.

Next, on the basis of letting the children know the necessity of washing their hands, we should teach them the correct way to wash and flatten. We can use nursery rhymes, stories, games and other forms to guide children to master the steps of proper handwashing. For example, guide the kindergarten children to practice washing their hands while saying "Handwashing Song".

Through a variety of activities, toddlers can quickly learn to wash their hands, but this does not mean that good handwashing habits have been developed. On top of that, we also need to constantly encourage young children to wash their hands consistently, which can take the form of rewards and competitions. For example, we will carry out the activity of "Little Hands Are Really Clean", select and reward children who wash their hands carefully, and encourage everyone to wash their hands carefully through role models.

It is also necessary to extend the activities to the family, to understand whether the children are actively and seriously washing their hands in the family, and to strive for the support of parents, so that the requirements of the kindergarten and the family are consistent and persistent. Only in this way can young children develop good handwashing habits.

What are the benefits of teaching your baby Iwalu to wash their hands properlyOur hands have the most opportunities to contact the external environment, and they are also the most prone to various pathogenic bacteria, especially children whose hands are idle and want to touch them everywhere. If you use these little dirty hands to grab food, rub your eyes, and touch your nose, germs will take the opportunity to enter the baby's body and cause various diseases.

However, as long as you wash your hands with water and soap before eating and after going to the toilet, you can effectively reduce the bacterial infection of Xiangyin by up to 40%. Frequent hand washing can prevent diseases such as eye infections, intestinal parasites, and avian influenza, as well as the health of people living with HIV and AIDS. Frequent handwashing with soap reduces diarrhoea, mortality, and the risk of cholera and pneumonia.

How to teach your baby to wash their hands properly1.Wet your hands thoroughly with warm water.

2.Apply soap or a certain amount of hand sanitizer to the palm of your hand.

3.Rub the palms of both hands opposite each other for a few seconds to create a rich lather, then thoroughly scrub your hands for at least 10-15 seconds.

4.Pay special attention to the backs of your hands, between your fingers, between your fingernails, and don't forget your wrists.

5.Rinse your hands under running water until all soap or hand sanitizer residue is thoroughly rinsed.

6.Dry your hands with a tissue or towel, or blow them off with a hot air dryer.

7.If contact with the source of infection is suspected, it is necessary to follow the above steps to wash thoroughly repeatedly.

Is washing your hands under running water the same as washing your hands in a basin?When rinsing soap and hand sanitizer, you should put your hands down and let the water run from your wrists, backs of your hands, to your fingertips, so that you don't let dirty water recontaminate your wrists and forearms.

If several people wash their hands in the same basin of water, not only will it not have the effect of sterilization, but it may also increase the risk of cross-infection.

How to turn off the faucet after washing your handsWhen the faucet is turned on, some of the germs on your hands have been transferred to the faucet switch, and if you turn off the water directly after washing your hands, it will cause re-contamination. Therefore, it is best to use a "sensor" or "foot-operated" faucet in public places, and if it must be turned off by hand, you can turn off the water by wrapping a clean paper towel on the switch after washing your hands, or disinfect the faucet switch with soap or disinfectant at the same time as washing your hands.
