  • I was raised to wash my hands and therefore my kids will either wash their hands or use hand sanitizer to get rid of germs.

  • Hand sanitizers aren't healthy. He isn't allowed to use those. I'm big on handwashing instead.

  • Yes. But I dont really need to remind her. She is only 3 and loves to wash her hands. She also hates being dirty/sticky, so she is always saying she needs to wash her hands.

  • I very much encouirage them to wash their hands regularly - especially before eating. If, for some odd reason, they cannot wash their hands I have a small bottle of sanitizer in the car. Wipes are simply wasteful and generate even more trash for landfills - no, we never use them.

  • This is something that every parent should do. Keeping clean will keep many germs and diseases away.
