Back-to-school germs really do not waste any time.
A few habits to teach kids that may help:
🧼 Wash hands when everyone gets home
🥤 Don’t share drinks, utensils or water bottles
😴 Prioritize sleep
💧 Keep everyone hydrated
🤧 Cough/sneeze into your elbow
🧽 Wipe down phones, tablets, remotes and other high-touch surfaces
🍎 Keep meals balanced when you can
Otherwise when the inevitable occurs: fluids, rest, comfort measures…and apparently washing 847 tiny medicine cups. Seek medical attention if needed!
Welcome back to school. 😆
