Beating Bugs with Better Hand Washing

I am a huge hand washing advocate.

Personally, I hate being sick – and I hate having sick kids! When I hear that a classmate or playmate of my kids has a stomach bug, my own stomach tightens and turns and my palms start to sweat just a little. I instinctively have the urge to wash my kids’ hands right that second!

I am not the greatest disciplinarian, but one rule that I set when Jackson was a baby was that everyone (adults too!) washes their hands every time they come in the house.

Regular hand washing is so ingrained in Jackson that he rarely questions it.

When he arrives home with a play date, he instructs the other child, “Let’s go wash our hands!” as he drops his coat and shakes off his Crocs in the middle of the living room. (Remember I said I am not the greatest disciplinarian? But hey – at least his hands are clean!) 😉

Occasionally, as I holler at Jackson to come back and pick up his shoes, the play date will raise his eyebrow at me and question why he has to wash his hands. Before I can answer, Jackson will bellow above the sound of the running water that it is a rule in our house. The other child then shrugs his shoulders and runs off to wash up.

I breathe a little bit easier – and sometimes pick up the Crocs and the coat.

  9. Becky Grayson says:

    We have the little stool next to the sink so it is easier for the kids to reach. Hand washing is huge in our house as well because my hubby has weak lungs and when he gets sick it is a long recovery for him. So when the grandkids (all seven of them) come over they know hand washing at Grandma’s is a must. Of course the parents are sticklers too.

    Thanks so much!

  32. what a good story, thank you

  33. Mollie G. says:

    Our youngest is autistic, so we’ve worked for years on self-care skills, including basic hygiene stuff like washing hands — now, if we run out of soap, we definitely HEAR about it. So you are potentially helping preserve a certain peace of mind around here, thanks!

  34. flared0ne says:

    Particularly pertinent since there have been several recent reports of MRSA infection (one fatal) — so good timing. Thanks for the opportunity!

  35. Joanna Smith says:

    I am a bit OCD so I too am a huge hand washing advocate! I think I have rubbed off on my husband and kids because they too wash their hands alot. The kids don’t mind washing their hands when I ask them to, which is several times a day, I think they love the smell of the soap (I usually buy the fruity smelling ones) and also as long as I let them “play with the water” a little while they are washing up! I figure you have to pick and choose your battles and if playing with the water a little is the way to ensure they wash their hands, then I don’t mind wiping up behind them, it is only water!! We go through so much hand soap in our home that it would be so nice to have a backup supply for a while to ensure we have enough to get us through cold and flu season which is quickly approaching us!

  36. Suzanne Lewis says:

    Hand washing is so important. Thanks for doing this!

  39. I think handwashing is very important and feel that if more people would take the time to wash their hands properly, we could help eliminate common sicknesses that are linked to unsanitary hygiene practices.

  262. My 2 yr old son is all about hand washing…he will grab something that resembles a “bottle” and pretend like he is pouring it in his hands and then with the most serious look on his face, he “washes” his hands. It is SO cute!!!

  263. Thanks for promoting good hygiene!

  266. We have six kids, so do lots of handwashing at our house. Soap is alwyas needed.

  267. I would love to win the hand soap. Did you know antibacterial handsoap can be used to wash your face and helps fight acne. My daughter’s pediatrician told us that.

  268. We just bought this stuff when the after-hurricane colds hit our home, to ensure they didn’t get spread. Love this stuff! Would love to win! And thank you for sharing this contest, am going to enter theirs as well! 🙂

  269. National Hand Washing Day would start at my house. I keep a hand sanitizer at the computer so when the sneezes start, the hands get cleaned. Washing hands is almost a ritual here. I try not to become so hysterical each time someone needs to wash their hands, but an ounce or less of soap can help.

  270. I know that everyone used to have their kids wash up before dinner what happened to that?
    I dont’ have kids of my own but I watch my nieces and nephews a LOT, and they know I am make them wash up ALL THE TIME! I know where those hands have been, picking feet, picking noses, and places we won’t go!
    It sets a good habit for later in life so they do it naturally!

  271. Everybody could use more soap! Thanks for the link to the website – anything that instills how important it is to wash hands is wonderful.

  272. Bailey's Leaf says:

  278. i’m a huge germophobe. i don’t know how many times i wash my hands in a day but i’m afraid to count!

  279. Genevieve Larson says:

    Working in a doctors office I wash my hands at least 20 times a day. Its the best way to avoid transmission of viruses.

  309. Veronica M says:

    Oh we’re handwashing and santizing fanatics around here–it started with my daughters 3 month stay in the NICU when she was born–I washed my hands and sanitized them so much they bled.

  314. I’m a huge hand washing advocate in our house, too! It’s second nature to the kids now — they just KNOW, even at 2 and 4. My oldest is even asking his teachers at church to “please help him wash his hands” before he has snack. 🙂

    Thanks for the contest!

  315. Our baby is two months old and we are always washing our hands in our house…especially now that cold and flu season is on its way! By the way, loved Jackson’s video! He’s been trained well:)

  316. Hand washing has been a big deal in this house since about 2 years ago when we headed into our first winter with 3 premie babies in the house. We escaped RSV that first season thanks in part to good hand washing… and lots of luck!

  317. Ashley - The Adventures of Supermom says:

    I’m lucky enough to have three kids who love to wash their hands, even a little too much. They love the foaming soap so this would be great for them.

  318. You can never have too much soap!

  319. Foaming soap is so much easier to use for cleaning little ones.

    Cool contest! I do the hand sanitizer on everyone’s hands after we leave somewhere but I need to do better.

  321. With a home child care we are ALWAYS washing our hands!!

  322. My son LOVES to wash his hands. He’s only two, but he is always in the bathroom cleaning his hands.

  323. A great way to combat the signs of sickness or ever to PREVENT bad sickness is to moniter your childs diet. No processed sugar, no startches. No fruit snacks, no french fries and no goldfishes. Its tough, but worth it for your childs health.

    Put 3-5 drops of peroxide in thier ears and let sit for 30 secs. to 10 min. This is an excellent way of fighting germs.

  324. I’m pretty anal when it comes to hand washing too! It really does make a big difference. I’d love to be entered. 🙂

    We go through soap like crazy! The foaming soap works so much better with my little ones.

  331. My son walks in the door from kindergarten and immediately walks to the sink to wash his hands. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop him from getting strep throat two weeks ago…Guess I need to teach him to not touch his face while he’s at school!

  332. We fight this battle all the time. I have tried numerous kinds of soap, signs up on the walls, an dreading books about germs. I would love to try some foamy soap.
