Work together to establish good hygiene habits in your child.

The weather forecast is that there will be a typhoon "Typhoon Puppy" this week, so please be careful and prepare for it. When I attended the evaluation briefing on Wednesday, the organizer told me that parking spaces at the school were limited, so I should try to share a car or ride a motorcycle. However, since Typhoon Puppy was about to hit the school, and I was afraid that there was no place to park my car, I decided to ride a motorcycle. On the way back, I felt the power of the wind, and I stopped several times, not daring to be careless, and I still had palpitations when I returned to the park. The power of nature is not to be taken lightly.

At 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the city government announced a typhoon holiday for Thursday. After several years without a typhoon, the city government has declared a typhoon holiday this year due to climate change and several consecutive typhoons.

Luckily, Typhoon Kogun does not seem to be a serious disaster for Tainan, and the amount of rain it brought is not much, so hopefully it will not affect the prevention and treatment of dengue fever. Dengue fever has been the most feared disease in Tainan in recent months. In addition to this, enteroviruses, influenza, influenza-like illnesses, and gastroenteritis, which are the most common diseases in the fall and winter, have been on the rise.

During the Covid19 epidemic, due to the strict epidemic prevention requirements and penalties, everyone had higher self-hygiene requirements, and there was a significant difference in the number of times children were sick and took time off from work. After Covid 19 was lifted, there was a noticeable slackening in the demand for self-hygiene practices. A father who came to pick up his child asked the principal if he still needed to wear a mask.

The principal said that depending on the child's condition, wearing a mask is not a requirement, but from the point of view of protecting the child's health and hygiene, it is still recommended that parents allow their children to wear masks.

The main reason is that the number of sick leave is relatively high recently, and the reasons for leave come from various illnesses. Although it is inconvenient and even stuffy to wear a mask, it is still the most effective way to prevent droplet infection. The principal shared with the children that wearing a mask is very stuffy and uncomfortable, but when we get together, we have to learn how to protect ourselves as well as love others.

When you feel hot, you can pull it up to your chin to get a breath of fresh air, and you can put it back on at any time. Most children are not sensitive to their own symptoms once they start playing, and even if they cough, have a runny nose, etc., they don't realize it, and the germs are accidentally passed on or infected.

In addition to masks, for the first time to live in a group of children, the establishment of hygiene habits, has not yet been developed, we must always remind, remind, for example, the importance of hand washing, steps and timing, this habit is not divided into home, school or out of the house, is to become a hygiene ability to take away.

Often, on the first school day after a weekly break, there are many children who are absent from school, suffering from colds, fever, runny noses, intestinal viruses, etc. The establishment of children's hygiene habits requires the joint efforts of the family and the school. The establishment of children's hygiene habits needs to be a joint effort by the family and the school, unilateral is ineffective, and can not be achieved overnight, teachers and parents need to constantly remind the children, and slowly the children will pay attention to hygiene into a daily life.

Wishing your family a safe and happy Double Ten National Day Holiday!
