Encourage Children to Wash Their Hands Often

"Youngsters old enough to wash hands on their own, or with light supervision, should be taught to wash with soap and warm water," Dr. Sears says. "If they're rushing, slow them down with a game or song." For babies, use fresh, alcohol-free cleansing wipes to clean their hands throughout the day, he says.
