The Cold and Flu Fight – Disney D-Lightful Challenge Week 7

I’ll be honest… I’m a germ freak and I’ve passed it on a little to my kids. But, the good thing is that Jackson is probably the only 9 year old boy who begins play dates with insisting everyone wash their hands.

Hands Under a Running Faucet

Susan struggles to get her girls to wash their hands enough but she finds that a fun soap does the trick. It’s amazing how quickly Sophia stuck out her hands to get the “Mickey Mouse” soap and scrub her hands clean.

I say whatever it takes to get kids washing their hands is for the best. The more they wash their hands, the less we all get sick.

Stamp out the sniffles with the help of this week’s video challenge

Head over to the DCP’s official Facebook page, Disney Living, to find out more about this week’s challenge and tips from the “Go-To Mom,” Kimberley Clayton Blaine, who has partnered with Disney to bring weekly video parenting tips.

Try these helpful tips to fight the cold and flu this season:

  • Help keep your kids comfortable in their bed or on the couch
  • Make sure your kids use tissue when they sneeze and blow their nose
  • Remind kids to wash their hands regularly

 

We all know that it’s important to not only avoid the nasty bugs that go around this time of year, but also fight back the bugs that make it into our homes. Disney makes fighting the bad bugs fun for kids and easy for Moms with the help of these great Disney-themed products:

Week 7- Cold & Flu Season

This giveaway will end on November 4, 2011 at midnight ET and a winner will be chosen at random and announced Sunday in the weekly Around The Blogosphere. Please see our site’s terms and conditions for more information.

 

Please note that we are compensated Disney Brand Ambassadors, but as I said, our love of Disney and all of our opinions are completely our own!

    Some of my tips for fighting a Cold and Flu is frequent hand washing, don’t put things in your mouth, don’t share something that you have had in your mouth And if someone does get sick it’s rest, medicine, fluids like O.J and tissues. My son has never been sick, just His mom and dad LOL

    I wipe down surfaces of my home often with disinfecting wipes and have a box of tissues in many rooms of my house so everyone can wipe their nose when needed. Thanks.

    We wash hands constantly throughout the day, take multi-vitamins and make sure ti get plenty of rest every night. My fingers are crossed that we can avoid any major cold or flu this season!

    At first when my son was born, I was a germ nut. I washed down everything all day long. But now he is older and trying to eat everything off the floor, so I just make sure the floor is clean, and I wash his hands several times a day.

    I am a germ freak too. My son washes his hands often and I know I have caused him to be a germ freak too. But, we don’t get sick so I guess we are doing a good job.

    I take hand sanitizer everywhere with me. My daughter is only in Kindergarten but she has a bottle in her backpack. I try to wipe down things that I believe are “germy”

    I try to make sure they wash their hands after playing and to always cover their mouths when they cough. I don’t want them to be spreading anything either.

    I love the Mickey Mouse soap bottle!

    I think the thing we practice the most would be washing hands before dinner, especially if we’ve been out!

    to try to keep the germs away I make sure that my family washes their hands often and use sanitizer when we are out. If a bug is caught, plenty of rest and lots of fluids

    We take our vitamins and wash our hands often. We have hand sanitizer everywhere and we encourage the use of it as often as possible.

    I love all these wonderful Disney products and would love to try it!

    We take wipes everywhere and hand sanitizer, another trick we use is to use the grocery cart wipes they offer for the handles of grocery carts. Very helpful!

    A spoonful of honey helps soothe a cough (for kids older than babies), and we try to eat a lot of garlic and onions — generally chopped up and hidden in things 😉 — as a family during the winter season.

    I love this concept … neat product ideas. We’d definitely give them a shot around our house. Last year with a first time kindergartner, it was sick, sick, sick … here’s hoping for a healthier 1st grade!
