It’s that time of year again: flu season. The holidays are hectic enough, no need for more stress. Here are some tips for protecting your family from influenza:
1. Wash your hands! An oldie but a goodie. Washing your hands is as effective as it was when we were kids.
2. Nutrition. Make sure your child is getting everything they need in the way of diet. A healthy defense (immune system) is the best offense against colds.
3. Bless you! There are two ways to sneeze properly: 1) Into your hands or a tissue and then IMMEDIATELY washing your hands or 2) Sneezing into your sleeve. A you tube tutorial is provided here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpPA73SZJYE
4. I’m sorry… It’s not rude to keep your children away from sick people, it’s in their best interest. By the same token, do not send your fever-ridden child to school or other public places!
