Washing your hands after returning home or before eating is a healthy habit.

But it can be very difficult to teach a child to follow them. In this case, parents need to be patient.

First, you need to explain to your son or daughter what will happen if you take food with dirty hands. It is important to explain all the consequences clearly and calmly.

It is important to set a positive example yourself. But you cannot intimidate the child, so that he does not develop a neurotic habit in the future.

You can also turn hand washing into a game.

The soap or soap dispenser should be eye-catching for the child.

The soap should be odorless and dye-free, but the soap dish can be bright. You can also decorate the soap dispenser with your child's favorite characters.
