On average, schoolchildren get six to ten viral illness a year. If you and your kids can follow these rules, you'll all have a happier school year.
- Soap Up. Germs live a hand to mouth, nose or eye existence. Keep your kid's palm clean and they'll stay well.
- Hands Off! Back up the frequent washing plan by reminding your kids to keep their hands off their faces as much as possible.
- Get some fresh air. Encourage your kids to play outside - even if it's a bit nippy. Studies suggest colds may result from people spending more time indoors.
- Get plenty of Zzzzs. Researchers have found that sleep deprivation increases susceptibility to colds.
- Just say no. If your kids friend has the sniffles, cancel the play date.
