Talk about when to wash hands. Make a hand washing chart and put stickers on it for each time you and your child wash hands together.

You and your child should wash hands:

• Before preparing or eating food
• After going to the bathroom
• After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has gone to the bathroom
• Before and after tending to someone who is sick
• After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
• After handling an animal or animal waste
• After handling garbage
• Before and after treating a cut or wound
