Handwashing is very important for children because it keeps germs and sickness away. Every day, we touch many things that can carry germs. Washing hands with soap and water protects us from getting sick.
Children should wash hands before eating, after using the bathroom, and after playing outside. Proper handwashing takes 20 seconds, which is enough to remove dirt and bacteria. Singing a short song while washing hands can make it fun.
Washing hands regularly helps prevent flu, colds, and stomach problems. Schools also teach children the importance of handwashing to stay healthy. Parents remind children to wash hands after touching pets or playing in the garden.
Handwashing is easy, quick, and very effective. Even small children can learn to wash hands properly. Clean hands protect not only themselves but also friends, family, and classmates.
Handwashing is one simple habit that makes children stronger, healthier, and ready to enjoy every day.
