At home, I make sure that the cleaning products like bath foam, shampoos, and the liquid for washing of hands are always accessible. My elder girl turning 8 this year is taking her own baths and knows how to clean up after a visit to the toilet. The only thing that I need to repeat to her is that she needs to wash her hands after every visit, as well as before and after her meals. My younger girl is observing all these habits closely and she is following her sister's footsteps which is a relief to me! As she had completed her toilet training and makes her visit to the loo by herself, I place a low level wide stool for her easy reach to the basin, and she is enjoying it tremendously.
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Scare
I try to make good cleaning hygiene habits an enjoyable part of their everyday lifestyle especially when the recent scare of hand, foot and mouth disease becomes more apparent in the recent weeks. When Rae was 5, she caught it from her kindy just before the school closed for holidays. It was so heartbreaking seeing her with the mouth ulcers and how she couldn't eat nor drink. Even my poor helper cried at the sight of her. It was a painful experience but she now understands why hygiene is so important. I educate my girls about this disease and we all use the nickname Handphone and Mouse because at the same time, PC and Mobile phones are also part of an addiction.
