How to keep yourkids healthy at school

I taught them not to drink from anybody else's glass or mug either at school or at home; least of all, from a bottle or any other container that everybody uses. Also not to share forks or spoons.

how i keep them healthy

i make sure they was there hands before school. i send them to school with a small bottle of "hand sani" TM as taps and hand dryers are a breeding ground for germs! i also give them a pack of tisues i also give them some medical gloves and a cpr sheild just incase. when they come home they wash there hands and at dinner we have vitimins we also drink filterd water and we make sure we have our 5 a day. we also stay warm making us less vunrible to a cold or flu. i personal think at this time we need to do this as many severe illneses are goin around. where i am we have had a child pass away at the school they had a flu virus and went in to cardiac arrest this lead on from the virus! there is also 5 cases of swine flu. the school has sent out a letter of products each child nees to take to school. that is "hand sani"TM and a pack of tisues. i have also told my children to stay away from ill people dont come in physical contact with tem
