Washing Your Hands

Little ones should always wash their hands in particular after using the toilet but also:

• before eating or handling food
• after blowing their nose, sneezing or coughing
• before and after playing outside
• after touching animals, including pets and their food

Children learn through imitation and practice. You need to demonstrate good hygiene habits yourself and reinforce them with your child to ensure they get used to knowing how and when to wash their hands.
