Found this article via YPulse last week, and I think its really important to re-post. According to a recent study by Vital Smarts (read the study here), kids aren't washing their hands. Their findings show:(Quoted from Reuters)
* Three out of four kids don`t wash their hands after using the restroom
* Fewer than one in ten kids wash their hands before eating
* 12 percent of kids wash their hands after being with someone who is sick
This is pretty alarming news, especially now that we are heading into the flu season. What can we all learn from these facts? Asking your teens to wash their hands before you serve snacks at your next event, may be not enough. Ask them to wash their paws thoroughly (long enough to sing Happy Birthday to themselves twice), remind them how important hand hygiene is, especially during the flu season, and send them as a group to the washroom/ kitchen before you let them anywhere near the pizza.
