Cold and flu season is among us and as much as we try to fight it, sometimes it can't be escaped. Luckily, there are a few things that can be done to help keep you and your children healthy during this time of year.

  • If you see your child sneezing or coughing frequently, be sure they're covering their mouth with a tissue.
  • Make sure your child washes their hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizer frequently though out the day. Germs can spread quickly.
  • After touching any surfaces or toys, be sure your children are washing their hands. It's also a good idea to wipe down all surfaces and toys throughout the day. 
  • If your child is sick, have them stay home from school and all outside activities to avoid infecting other children and making their illness worse.
