Winters are here, and children are
already beginning to suffer from cold and flu. For a child care facility, it
means everyone suffering from runny noses. If the center is not well prepared
for the season and doesn’t handle things the right way, it could lead to
contamination and the spread of germs. Especially, kids have trouble realizing
how important it is to use tissues. Therefore, it’s the care givers who must ensure
that kids’ noses remain dry and clean. The center must provide facial
tissue papers to all the staff and children.
If you want best possible results, keep
the tissues in all the rooms, at a convenient location. It’ll be best to keep
tissues where children can easily reach them. There’s a good chance that kids
are going to use their shirtsleeve, but if they can easily access tissue,
they’d rather use them.
One part of care-givers job should be
to inspire kids to make use of tissues by explaining the importance. When
children use their shirt for wiping their noses, they increase the chances that
their friends could become sick.
Let them use more than one tissue, but
at the same time don't let them take it as a game and cause wastage. It’s easy
to see that kids could end up having all the tissues lying on the floor. Keep a
trash bag in the area so that children can dispose of the facial tissues after
having cleaned their noses. Guide kids to wash their hands after wiping the
nose, using soap and water.
