Keeping Your Kids Healthy This Summer
The Mayo Clinic recommends supplying children with hand sanitizers for times when they are not able to wash their hands, such as before snacks or after touching community areas like playgrounds. It is also important to tell children to keep their hands away from their faces — especially the eyes and mouth — and to stress the fact that personal items like water bottles or juice boxes should never be shared.
