7 Strategies to Keep Germs at Bay

1. Encourage Handwashing
   Teach kids to wash their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds, especially after school.

3. Clean School Bags and Supplies
   Wipe down backpacks, lunchboxes, and stationery regularly to remove germs.

4. Sanitize Toys and Play Areas
   Regularly disinfect toys and shared surfaces with a family-safe cleaner.

5. Boost Immunity Through Diet
   Include immune-boosting foods like fruits, vegetables, and probiotics in your family’s meals.

6. Have a Dedicated “Drop Zone”
